Our hills and trees will be the deciding factor.

tulsa = art fags

[OklahomaTuba]

Oklahoma should be proud.

Its a damn fine place to live.

[1890MilesToNorman]

Maine ain't bad if you like snow up to yer a$$ fer 4 months out of the year.

[OklahomaTuba]

I have never been to Maine, but always wanted to go. Portland looks like it has a lot of nice history and such. Plus I love lobster. A lot.

[1890MilesToNorman]

Last summer we could get lobster for $3.99 a pound, that was the best price in several years. There's alway a seafood truck less than a mile from here in the summer. Good eats.

[A Sooner in Texas]

I think I'm hearing a song in this....

Well, I've never been to Maine,
but I've been to Oklahoma...

(with apologies to Oklahoma's own Hoyt Axton)

[Frozen Sooner]

5 > 6 ;)

Math just threw up in its mouth a little.

Why would we want Oklahoma City trashing up the top 5?

(Sorry...couldn't resist....Tulsa native here)

:D

[Sooner98]

Color Me Badd > Hanson

Advantage: OKC

:D

[Scott D]

I see Tulsa's lying about it's crime numbers again.

[C&CDean]

Bethesda, MD #2? That's the biggest steaming pile of horse**** I've ever seen.

I'm up there a couple times a month. The traffic is terrible, the cost of living is terrible, nobody speaks a word of English, people are ruder than hell, there's a bunch of liberal wussies running around, and real estate is like $500K per inch. Crock.

[badger]

I like Tulsa :O
