California into 6 new states? On their 2016 ballot!

No one wants to annex Oklahoma.

Even after a few too many beers, and Oklahoma all dolled up, Saturday Night like?

There's not enough beer to make want Oklahoma.

It could work. They're all related to each other right now aren't they? Okla-as, nice ring to it.

[BanzaiCat]

Not even the Indians wanted Oklahoma.

Before I moved back to OKC for good, I used to refer to Oklahoma as "the part Texas didn't want" since Texas ceded most of the land to the USA when becoming a state. Not much has changed in my opinion, but the people here are by far decent folks. I do greatly miss Phoenix and the general lack of clothing the hot weather encouraged  8)

I was up there in March, south of OKC. Other than being cold as a witch's tit (I was shooting video of techs doing repairs on our cooling towers, for training), everyone was great and the trip was smooth. If I had only had time for some gaming I would have dropped you a line, Steelie.

The OKC airport, though, blew me away. It's SO small (how small is it?) It's SO small that if you dropped a Kleenex, the place would have wall-to-wall carpeting.

Yeah, flying from Phoenix to OKC or Dallas to OKC you feel like you've stepped off into a little country airfield somewhere when you get here. Hell, you leave the airport and drive past oil wells pumping and cow's doing whatever cows do. Very quaint.

You guys need a trip to Lawton for some perspective.

Ohio and Michigan went to war over who got Toledo.  Ohio lost and got stuck with it.  Michigan got the UP.  The rest of Ohio has been trying to get rid of Toledo since then.  The way the people up there act, they seem like they'd rather be part of Toledo.

Wow. I never heard that OJ. Thanks for the post.

[Gusington]

Holy Toledo.

The wife almost accepted a job in Lawton. Happy to have dodged that bullet!!!

Klinger!

Back when I worked the ramp for United I took a trip to Pennsylvania to visit my dad and family. The DuBois "airport" is pretty much a one-room operation with two people employed there (that I saw, anyway). The two of them checked people and luggage in, brought the plane in and parked it, unloaded both passengers and baggage/mail, loaded it up again, and saw it off. Even all of that was a hell of a lot less work than what we did at IAH.

Then again they only had 2-4 flights a day I think, if that much. So they probably were only part time and had other jobs, I imagine.
