It's safe to say that the city of Galveston, Texas still isn't done with its war of words against Charles Barkley after the NBA analyst insulted their beloved waters while mocking the New Orleans Pelicans.

After engaging in some light-hearted troll responses to Barkley a few days ago, the city decided to turn up the juice a little bit with a new billboard campaign directed right at the NBA on TNT personality.

According to TMZ, the Visit Galveston tourism organization has set up several new billboards calling Barkley out by name and trolling him.

"Hey Charles, come on down - water's fine! Love, Galveston," one says.

"Hey Charles, you've never turned down any of our great food. Love, Galveston," says another.

But the most savage one was this: "Hey Charles, our water is cleaner than your golf swing. Love, Galveston."

Charles Barkley has no one to blame but himself for this situation. He was the one who fired the first shot by calling the city out for having "dirty water" and not even being able to get any clean water.

"We sending they ass to Galveston, Texas, right where that dirty water washed up on the beach. They can't even get in no water. That dirty ass water. We not even gon' send them to Cancun," Barkley joked.

Well, Galveston certainly got the last laugh here.
