Another Oklahoma fact: They have surries with fringes on the top.

I've heard the hand-grenade thing beforel, but as a ethnic joke. Which randomly reminds me of the world's oldest ethnic joke:

There once was this Sumerian, and he was stupid.

I don't have anything profound to say about the entry, but I would like to compliment your new lj usericon.

Why, thank you! I was waiting for someone to appreciate it.

My dear, you should watch Oklahoma! sometime. I'm surprised anyone outside Oklahoma has heard of Blake Shelton, so you get points for that. Of course, the new American Idol is also from Oklahoma ( ... )

Hahahaha.

I caught one of Blake Shelton's videos on CMT one day when I was trying to teach myself to like modern country music. Then I looked him up on the Internet. I think his song "Some Beach" is ingenious, and I actually like his song "Ol' Red", because any song about a dog is a good song.

Here are some Okie-isms copied from the same thread ( ... )

HAHAHAH, chicken and cheetos!

I like the name "Texhoma", too. I like how there are all these hybrid town names on the borders of Texas: Texhoma, Texico, Texarkana.

Your userpic reminds me of Spongebob. I'll know what I am going to be nightmare-dreaming of.

Lots of Native Americans were relocated to Oklahoma, "Trail of Tears" being the most well-known, but there were many routes towards OK back in the early 19th century (starting in the 1820's). Incidentally, the state animal is a buffalo.

Ooh! & The Flaming Lips, a psychadelic rock band (they're recent princes of the genre), were formed in Oklahoma City in the early 80's. Their latest album is "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots", and it's pretty swell.

And we can thank Sylvan Goldman, Oklahoman grocery store owner, for the shopping cart.

(most well-known of the relocative routes, I meant.)

P.S. If you ever need a light...

SHOPPING CART. Oklahoma truly is a wondrous, magical place.
