Ooooooooooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!
And the waving wheat can sure smell sweet, when the wind comes right behind the rain!

So, it was stupid, but I saw the thread bumped and I couldn't resist. :)

jen, i can't even SAY oklahoma without doing that! :D

See the attachment. All I can say in regards to the past 2 comments.

<<sets to work fashioning a new avatar for Brandon :D

I could do "Surrey With the Fringe on Top" in you prefer. Or better yet, "Poor Judd is Dead" :no:

How about a medley? :lol:

"I'm just a girl who can't say no.
I'm in a terrible fix!"

The University here is doing "Oklahoma" for their spring musical. I have to go see it, cuz I have friends in it, but I'm dreading it. I can't stand that show!

I'm not a fan either, Randy. :no: Howwwwever, I will confess to singing "Oklahoma" at the top of my lungs at commencement, with all of my fellow Spanish grads. There was a hellatiously large fireworks display, and the band was playing...it was a moment.

Otherwise, I could go the rest of my life w/o hearing the song ever again. :)

Hello my fellow Okies. I live in Tulsa, btw, and it's nice to know that there are some like-minded ppl here in Oklahoma.

I miss Tulsa!! I lived there for 4.5 years. Tell me all about Tulsa in 2006! I left in '97. Last time I was there in '99, it had already changed/grown a lot!

I heard the Cherry Street Hideaway moved to a new building. I worked at the old store most of the time I lived there.

I lived in Tulsa before. 21st and Mingo was my apartment. I worked at 95th street and Memorial.

Something like that.:lol: With the rich people.:lol:

I left Tulsa in 1996 I think.

I remember some good and bad times there. I had a few friends.

I only lasted there just short of a year because of family and stuff here.

Dang! What do you know! We are a subculture!

Hi kyliemc! We're always happy to meet another Veg*n in Oklahoma!

hello!!! fellow okie here....

I think we are all undercover here in okieville...I live in OKC and I swear, there are times I want to pull my hair out. Since starting to transistion back to a vegan diet I have had more crap handed to me......GRRRRR....

few in number maybe, but we are here.....:)

Hi, I'm new to the boards and I'm also living in Oklahoma - sigh. I actually live in Bartlesville, which is about 45 minutes north of Tulsa. This can be a bit of a challenging place to live a vegan life. My husband and I have been here for 2 years now. I'm really looking forward to the day we move. I know that sounds awful, but so far it hasn't been my kind of place really.
Well maybe I shouldn't say that, we have actually met some really nice people but well, you know. :D

Can't blame a person for wanting to move from Bartlesville...

I think the biggest problem I have found with Bartlesville is that if you don't have children (which we don't), if you don't go to church (we don't), or don't work for ConocoPhillips (we don't) there isn't really a "spot" for you. Just my perspective of course.

move to Tulsa. MUCH cooler city.... :up:

:eek: Whoa! 2 more?!!?!? :up:

Hey, ckato and Striving To Be! :hi:

I've never been to Bartlesville, myself, so I don't know what it's like there. However, I have had the opporunity to visit a few smaller towns in Oklahoma, and if Bartlesville is like some of them, then I don't think I'd "fit" there either.

move to Tulsa. MUCH cooler city.... :up:

You know we have actually given that some serious consideration. However we both work here and the 10 minute commute is very nice. Plus we know that my husband will be transferred somewhere else with the next couple of years. So for now we are just making the best of it. It really isn't horrible just not very...... stimulating. :sleep:

then go hang out in Tulsa for a couple days!

(I got more "stimulation" in Tulsa that I should have...)

Former Okie.
I lived next door to the Earth in 92-94 (217 S Flood, had an OM on the wall and an Odin stove)
off eddington along the track after that.
Graduated UCO in 2000 (yeah,... lived in Norman, went to school across the metro to Edmond: save a boat load of $$)
Went to work for the Gaylord's fine rag after graduation.

Is Pratt's still in existance? they had some HFS type stuff.

Pratt's is gone, at least here in Norman. Not sure if the ones in OKC are still there or not, but I don't think they are.

Seems that you moved out of Norman a year before I moved into it. :)

well, there is a veggie freak limit the bbq-ing football fans can take.
What is the pratts now? (12 and Lindsey)

Momma Okie Here,

I have lived here all my life, and I'll bring some things Oklahoman to our attention. I just don't appreciate it if a non-Okie says something against my home state. By non-Okie I mean someone who has never lived here. Just passing through on vacation don't get a person an accurate outlook on the people.

Now Oklahoma people are nice, they just don't in general understand vegan.

Oklahoma doesn't have peace and quiet, it has great buckets of boredom.

Why, we have at least 4 different dialects from one side of the state to the other.

We never know who has won an election in the state until all those little farming counties report. I think they do that just to remind us city folk that we don't run the state all by ourselves.

The Oklahomans celebrate the 1889 land run for free land, while your Indian neighbor puts a sign in his front yard that says, "What's to celebrate. This is the day we got screwed!"

You have the true goat-roper (cowboy) and the redneck and the biker family living in the same block and they all yell at the teen with the booming, block shaking music coming from his souped up, sweeeet, street racer he parks in the garage of his professional-type family's home next door. Of course these are the same people who drop everything, get together, and have fund drives to replace homes which were burned in the grass fires.

My life is very boring, but my street gets interesting from time to time.
