Oklahoma is Ok.....what kinda stupid ass....
 

state motto is that?

I mean shit, oklahomans VOTED for that. What were the options?

a. oklahoma is ok

b. oklahoma....the circus has been here, TWICE

c. oklahoma....some people don't think we suck

d. oklahoma.....not cool enough to be Texas, not bland enough to be Kansas

e. oklahoma......hey, we're not ALL related

f. oklahoma, oklahoma, there, i said it twice.



Kitso
KS 361 times we give oklahoma shit, but at least they ain't arKansas

That's not the state motto. The state motto is:

"Labor Omnia Vincit"

or

"Labor conquers all."

Now what provoked Oklahoma bashing?

I'll admit Texas has its stuff together. There's a good chance I'll be moving to Ft. Worth in the next few months for a job.

It can't be all that bad... The Texas legislature seems to approve of Oklahoma as they hide here from the Republicans from time to time.

It's said that when they leave Texas, it lowers both states' collective IQ's.

sorry guys, sorry. :D

I really need to get a breathalyzer attached to my keyboard, to prevent drunk posting.

Once again, i was out with your favorite guy and mine lifesaver and had a FEW drinks :p

We were watchin tv before we went out and some comedian was ripping on OK, and made similar comments to what i posted. I blame the alcohol for making me post it :)

Kitso
KS 361? wow, my BAC is still too high to be posting on GC

Ours is "Eureka!"

How many people here still mind for gold?

Well you do need a breathalyzer for your keyboard but then again where would all the fun drunk postigs come from, and don't tempt me to post the lyrics to Oklahoma again.

...if I don't post 'em first! BOOMER SOONER! :) So whadda we charge 'em with... KWI (keyboarding while intoxicated)? ;)

i think we should let him off with a warning and some community service, to be done in the state of Oklahoma.

Its a Scandal, Its an Outrage!!!
 

How about doing a one man production of "Oklahoma!"?

361 dollars I'd pay to witness Kitso singing "The surry with the fringe on top"

[Gordon]
When I take you out tonight with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow-white horses
In the slickest gig you ever see!

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top.
Watch thet fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin' strutters~
Nosey-pokes'll peak through their shutters and their eyes will pop!

The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' c'n roll right down
In case there's a change in the weather;
Two bright side lights winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig, I'm a-thinkin';
You c'n keep yer rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny little surry with the fringe on the top.

[Charlotte]
Would y' say the fringe was made of silk?

[Gordon]
Wouldn't have no other kind but silk.

[Shirley]
Has it really got a team of snow-white horses?

[Gordon]
One's like snow~the other's more like milk.

All the world'll fly in a flurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top.
When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together, and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on ferever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on ferever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on ferever and ud never stop
In that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top?

I can see the stars gittin' blurry
When we ride back home in the surrey,
Ridin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top.
I can feel the day gittin' older,
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder till it falls, kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill,
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder...
Hush! You bird, my baby's a-sleepin'~
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'.
Whoa! You team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip-clop;
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top.

You know that may be better for the community anyways. We could sell tickets and proceeds can go to a good cause.

i think you're mixing it up with


'ooooooooooo klahhoma where the winds come sweeping down the plains . . .'


*gets up and starts dancing and singing*

'we know we belong belong to the land. . .and the land we belong to is grand. . .*mumbles*yip i yo kiyay. . . .we're doing fine oklahoma. . .oklahoma's okay'

O...klahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
And the waving wheat, it sure smells sweet
When the wind comes right behind the plain!
O...klahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk, and watch the hawks
Makin' lazy circles in the sky!
We know we belong to the land, and the land we belong to is grand!
So when we say 'Yeow! A-yip-i-yo-i-yay!'
We're only sayin' 'You're doing fine Oklahoma!'
Oklahoma, O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, Oklahoma! Yeow!

Ahhh... glorious reflections of a misspent pledgeship! ;)

that would be sooooo fun!!! you could be one of the cool north texas GC'ers!!!! :cool:

Hmm.. that's funny.. that's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read the part about "I'll admit Texas has its stuff together" ... "Oh really? I guess the Democrats acting like kindergarteners and leaving to Oklahoma is just a normal thing for state governments" << that's what I was thinking...

Yep.. unfortunately, they always come back. I say we boot them for not doing their job and hire ... erm... elect new people.

:)

I've heard people say that the reason Oklahoma is so windy is because Texas sucks.

Of course it wasn't me. I'm a non-combatant.

And there are parts of Texas I like.

And our sons' apartment mate in Norman is from Texas.

Just don't say anything bad about Colorado, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland or Ohio -- the places we've lived.

Well, maybe I'd overlook Maryland.

I am not bashing either state. I kinda sit on the red river. LOL.

But they way I always heard that joke was this:
Why doesn't the state of Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico?
Because Oklahoma Sucks
