I just came across this post tonight, *looks at the clock* or rather this morning and was wondering if a 40+ okie would be out of place at such a gathering? Seems like most here on this post are much younger. *sighs*


I don't think you will be out of place... yeah some of us are twenty-somethings, but I do hope when it's all said and done there will be a nice mixing of ages....

Everyone is welcome...

And even though I haven't been around nor brought you anymore information on the BB, the lit-together is still on....

May 28th OKC around 5ish pm.... at the BB (need to know what the BB is pm me)

I really shall call the BB and see what their regulations are on parties and such things...

Anyways, just as long as everyone is away that it's still on as planned!!
 
Dang

I just saw this post and the lit-together is schedule in the middle of my being out of town. It would sure have been nice to meet all the fellow gals and guys from OK on here.

Oh hon, that sucks! Well, nothing is really set in stone, though everyone agreed on the date... or at least I thought.

I dunno what to tell you... I want you there but I don't wanna change the date up on everyone....

I wish we could ALL discuss in real time... like a chat room or yahoo group... though probably if we could not everyone could make the time.... never mind i'm just rambling....
 
Okie Humor

YOU KNOW YOU’RE AN OKIE IF . . .

You know the difference between the city of Durant and the city of doo-rant.

It doesn’t seem odd to see the term “chicken-fried chicken” on a menu.

You have used the phrase “fixin’ to” during the last 12 months.

Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

You save all your life for your dream vacation and use it to go to the OU-Texas game.

A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

It doesn’t seem peculiar if your spouse says, “i’m going into to town for something”, even though you live in town.

You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo and Okemah.

You can remember the last 12 times a state legislator seriously introduced a bill involving castration and he didn’t mean farm animals.

Until recently, you thought the “cotton-eyed Joe” was the national anthem.

You don’t turn on the news until 20 past the hour because that’s the only thing you care about anyway.

You know exactly what calf fries are, and you eat them anyway.

When someone refers to the current season, you have no idea if they mean spring, summer, fall, winter, football, hunting or fishing.

You can recall hot summers by the year they happened easier than you can remember your mother’s birthday.

“Howdy” seems to be a normal way of greeting another adult, with no irony intended.

Your first sexual experience was not in a car, but only because all you had was a truck.

You think that people who complain about the wind in other states are sissies.

It bothers you not one iota to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.

A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.

You know in which state miam-uh is and in which state miam-ee is.

You have contemplated your last meal if the warden were to ask, and it would be biscuits and gravy.

BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN OKLAHOMA

01) A right-lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.

02) Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Oklahoma driver never uses them.

03) Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front ofyou or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

04) Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered “going with the flow”.

05) The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance of being hit.

06) Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS it’s a chance for you to stretch your legs.

07) The new electronic traffic warning system signs are not there to provide useful information. Theyare only there to make Oklahoma look high-tech and to distract you from seeing the police car parked in the median.

08) Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It’s a good way to scare people who are entering the highway.

09) Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are not enforceable in any metro area during rush hour.

10) Just because you’re in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn’t meanthat a driver, flashing his high beams behind you, doesn’t think he can go faster in your spot.

11) Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush hour traffic in Oklahoma.

12) Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire.

13) Throwing litter on the roads adds variety to the landscape and keeps the existing litter fromgetting lonely and it gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.

14) Everybody thinks their vehicle is better than yours especially pickup truck drivers with stickers of Calvin defacing a Ford, Dodge or Chevy logo.

15) Learn to swerve abruptly. Oklahoma is the home of high-speed slalom driving, thanks to our city councils who put potholes in key locations to test drivers reflexes and keep them on their toes.

16) Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way.

17) Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding.

18) Remember the goal of every Oklahoma driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary.

19) Real Okie women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup at seventy-five miles an hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

20) All Oklahoma drivers are required to use a cellular phone while driving. It makes it easier to call 911 when they hit someone and the state police can respond more quickly to block off two or more lanes of traffic; especially during rush hour.

21) Heavy fog and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. After all theseweather conditions are God’s way of ensuring the economic well- being of body shops, junk yards and new vehicle sales.

22) Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.
 
<giggle!> AMEN!

The people of oklahoma are all very good christians... till they get behind the wheel of a car.....
 
Facts about the BB...

I'm actually posting in the daytime... it's perhaps something of a miracle

Well, not actually, just a quick note before I'm off to pick up my oldest child from school...

I just called the BB and they said that basically we could just make a reservation in the dinning area for all of us.... though he'd have to know exactly how many is coming to make the reservation...

It wouldn't be a private room, it would be in the dinning area with all the other patrons....

For a private party, we would have our own room. They don't charge anything for the room itself, but they do require that you spend a minimum amount on food, which will be served banquet style (buffet line). On Friday's and Saturday's the minimum amount for food is $500 and on other days it's $400 and that's due in one check when we arrive or before.....

So, the question goes out... how do we want to do this... I surely can't afford their minimum food purchase for the private room, though that would be ideal....

If we make reservations we might want to figure out all whose going so we can do it.... Do we have any other ideas? :confused:
 
Personally,

I'm not sure if I will be there, but I would suggest starting out in the dining area. If they have a patio, that might be an option. There is always the option of moving the party to a park or something.

:( Why not? Surely not because of no private room...

Yes, that could be an answer.....
 
A VISITOR'S GUIDE TO TULSA
1. First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is TULL-SA and it does not matter how people pronounce it in other places.

2. Tulsa has its own version of traffic rules. Never forget that downtown Tulsa is composed entirely of one way streets. The only way to get out of the center of town is to turn around and start over when you reach the river.


3. All directions start with, "Go down Memorial"


4. Memorial has no beginning and no end.

5.The 8:00am rush hour is from 6:30 to 9:30am. The 5:00pm rush hour
is from 3:30 to 6:30pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday
morning.

6. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you cannot be from Tulsa.

7. Sapulpa Road can only be pronounced by a native, so do not
attempt the phonetic pronunciation. People will simply tilt
their heads to the right and stare at you.

8. The falling of one snowflake causes all traffic to immediately
cease. Fortunately all schools, businesses and city government
close when the word snow is mentioned.

9. Construction on the Broken Arrow Expressway is a way of life and
a permanent form of entertainment.

10. Many bizarre sights can be explained simply by uttering the
phrase, "Oh, we're in Brookside"

11. Construction crews aren't doing their job properly unless they
close down all lanes except one during rush hour.

12. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it was probably
left on at the factory where the car was made.

13. Buying a Tulsa street map is a waste of money since the
termination or continuation of any street is entirely at the
discretion of the Streets Department of the City.

14. Asking directions will help you get acquainted with the numerous
recent residents. It will not be any help at all for finding the
address you seek.

15. Tulsa natives are so rare that they are listed on the endangered
species list. Even they can't help with directions,
however most streets are named after other cities to welcome you.

16. What you need to know when arriving at the Airport: Your arrival
gate is at least 32 miles away from the Airport parking. Walking
shoes are advised.

17. Never honk your horn at another car in traffic. The bumper
sticker that reads,"Keep honking, I'm reloading" is considered a
fair warning.

18. Exit and entry ramps on the expressway are just the recommended
way of entering and exiting, feel free to exit at any grassy
point you wish.
 
sounds like this could be fun

Just went to a get together in Dallas for another site we belong to. Had a blast. Was alot of fun to actually meet the people.
 
Hey missy... I don't have an axe of my own...

So could I borrow one of yours? Or Esh? Maybe you have an axe I can borrow?

I don't want to show up and be the only one without one! I'd just look plain silly!
 
Now, wait a minute!

I was supposed to be the only axe murder at this gathering and I promised to leave MY axe at home. That wouldn't be fair if I didn't get to bring mine when everyone else was bringing one.

Well if I can manage to get an axe from one of them maybe I will consider sharing it with you... I'd prefer to get the double bladed kind so I can use one half, then when I give it to you you can use the other half! Clever thinkin huh?

We can flip for it... Loser has to be the shield, because surely others will have axes of their own!
 
Now all we need is a quarter.... and I'm all out!

Hey Esha... You're fairly cheap! Care to lend me one of your tips so we can get this coin toss out of the way? :D
