You've been hit by enough tornados to know there is no such thing as Oz You can properly pronounce Salina, Basehor, Schoenchen, Olathe & Osawatomie A shotgun is your idea of instant messaging. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply You're ready to shoot the next person who asks about Toto & Dorthy You've had classes canceled for heat & snow in the same month You support the Chiefs through thick and thin. You have to travel 20 miles just to go to the nearest mall The only tourists you see are on the way to Colorado You know the meaning of Rock Chalk Jayhawk. Your closest neighbor is more than a mile away, and you can still see him from your front porch. The terms Sooners, Huskers and Missouri Tigers cause the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up straight and your blood pressure to rise. You are not surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition and bait all in the same store. You know everything goes better with Ranch. You know the real way to pronounce the name of Clintons state and the river... arKANSAS. You never met any celebrities. (Bob Dole isn't a celebrity, he's your neighbor.) You prefer the Little Apple over the Big Apple as a place to live. You had at least one summer job that was bucking bails or custom cutting. You understand the difference between 3.2 and 6 point, and more than once you've made a beer run to another state. You know in your heart that K-State can beat Oklahoma in football. You call that smell coming from the feed yards "money." You know that Mt. Oread is really only just a hill. Down south means Oklahoma. You can properly pronounce Basehor, Cimmeron, Schoenchen, Kechi, Chautauqua, Arkalalah, and Osawatomie. You really do think Sunflowers are beautiful. You went to skating parties as a kid. You'll pay for your kids to go to college...unless they want to go to OU or NU. Your earliest driving lessons were in a field while picking up hay. Your excuse for being late is the cows got out, and the boss accepts it MANY times Your main drag in town is two blocks long. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Kansas. |
You Know You're From Oklahoma When... |
You say ya'll ... many times a day. Bedlam is a BIG deal. You can tell when it's tornado weather. When you drive through a neighborhood anyone out walking will smile and wave at you. You've worn flip flops in the winter You have stopped to let a family of deer cross the road. You thought the twister ride at Universal Studios wasn't windy enough. You know who your neighbors are, how many children they have, and when one of them gets married or graduates. There are at least 2 to 3 Sonics, McDonalds, and Little Ceasars in your town You've been off roading - many times You or someone you know was born, raised and still lives in the same town. You know that Miami, Oklahoma and Miami, Florida are pronounced two different ways. You plan events around football games. You are a Cowboy or Sooners fan. You learned how to do country and western dances at school. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah and Chickasha. You can remember the name of the last state legislator to introduce a bill involving castration, and he didn't mean farm animals. You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway. You think that people who complain about the wind in other states are sissies. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash. You have owned at least one belt buckle bigger than your fist. 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. It doesn't seem odd to see the term "chicken fried chicken" on a menu. You save all your life for your dream vacation, and use it to go to the OU/Texas game. It doesn't seem peculiar if your sweetie says "I'm going in to town for something" even though you live in town. You don't turn on the news until 20 minutes past the hour, because that's the only thing you care about anyway. Your quarterback is hurt and it is the top story on the six o'clock news. You keep track of the grain and hog futures on the radio. You don't buy all your vegetables at the grocery store. You go to the State Fair for your only vacation. You get up at 5:30 A.M. and go to the coffee shop, where the waitress never asks what you would like. She already knows. You are on a first name basis with the county sheriff. You know what the "Sea of Red and White" is. You think that using the elevator involves a corn truck. You can drive 80 mph on a two-lane dirt road with one hand, but driving 45 mph on a four-lane expressway in a city scares you to death. You use manure on your grass instead of Weed and Feed. Your nearest neighbor is in the next zip code. You know the difference between fee corn and sweet corn... while it's still on the stalk. You wear cowboy boots to church.
