My true homeland, Oklahoma

Jun 13, 2005 02:52

I am going to move to Oklahoma someday.

As soon as I said that, I saw "Oklahoma City, Oklahoma" flash across my television screen. It is obviously a sign. Who would like to be an Okie with me?

I never knew this before, but Oklahoma gets made fun of a lot by its neighbors. I even saw this classic joke, which I had previously seen only in the context of Norwegians and Swedes. If you know nothing of Norwegians and Swedes, suffice it to say that a deadlier, bloodier rivalry was never seen.

An Oklahoman threw a grenade into Arkansas. An Arkansan pulled out the pin and threw it back.

I know as little about Oklahoma as I do about Mississippi or Rhode Island. I am going to make it my mission to educate myself about Oklahoma as much as I possibly can. So far, I have learned that it:

  • Has red dirt
  • Has spiders
  • Is the home state of country music singer Blake Shelton, who once wrote a song about his girlfriend leaving a message on the answering machine

    If you know anything else, feel free to enlighten me. I don't have to stop learning just because I'm done with school and never have to do any quizzes, tests, or problem sets again. Hehe.
