Are you an Okie?

[SoonerBK]

You are 100% Oklahoman if:

1. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah,
Waurika, Weleetka, Wewoka, Wetumka and Chickasha.

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

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

4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the
highway.

5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

6. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability
of shade.

7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.

8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

10. You measure distance in minutes. ("I'm about 5 minutes away.")

11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."

12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.

13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

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

18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

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

20. You know in which state "Miam-uh" is and in which state "Miam-ee" is.

21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in
the same store.

22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.

23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.

24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.

25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin" to send them to your friends..

27. Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever heard this conversation:
"You wanna Coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."

[BoogercountySooner]

Funny HEH!

[crawfish]

You can take the Okie out of Oklahoma...but you can't take the Oklahoma out of the Okie.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Glad I only scored a 13.

[IronSooner]

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

This has happened twice already in the last three weeks. Real Okies don't need 'fraidy holes.

[12]

You can take the Okie out of Oklahoma...but you can't take the Oklahoma out of the Okie.

That sounds oddly painful.

[mdklatt]

15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.



Doesn't everybody? :confused:

[Harry Beanbag]

Glad I only scored a 13.


I got a 21. :dean:

[Jimminy Crimson]

Doesn't everybody? :confused:

Most places have seasons, not Oklahoma. :texan:

[1stTimeCaller]

11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."


I thought the capitol of Oklahoma was referred to as 'the City' and our capital was oil, wheat, meth or plain old money.

That's it for my quarterly grammar smack.

[oumartin]

heck yeah I'm an okie

[SoonerBK]

#17 all the way. The world would function better if more people did this.

[IB4OU2]

I'm going to bust 5k by posting in a are you an Okie thread.......:D

[MamaMia]

You are 100% Oklahoman if:
8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
These are a little far fetched to me, so I scored a 23. Maybe thats because I'm in northern Oklahoma. ;)

[proud gonzo]

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

...but it's windier in kansas. :confused:

[oumartin]

the 4 years i lived in kansas were never as windy as what i've endured in oklahoma.. but those might have been 4 calm years. and it was in the eastern part of kansas where as now i'm in northwest okla

[proud gonzo]

from my experience in Norman and Wichita, the windiest days here aren't quite as windy as the windiest days in Wichita, though they're pretty close. But consistently it was windier in Kansas--I don't have to fasten back my hair everytime i step outside in Norman.

[oumartin]

come spend some time out in the lovely panhandle! you'll love the nice breeze up here.. and no trees to stop it at all. its the suck

[MamaMia]

...but it's windier in kansas. :confused:Kansas has winds that are more constant, where ours come in dramatic gusts.

[mdklatt]

But consistently it was windier in Kansas--I don't have to fasten back my hair everytime i step outside in Norman.

Spend awhile in western Oklahoma, where there aren't any trees.

[proud gonzo]

what, you think there are trees in kansas? :confused:

[silverwheels]

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Hell no.

5. Yes.

6. Yes.

7. WTF?

8. Not that I recall.

9. No.

10. Yes.

11. Yes.

12. Don't care.

13. Or never.

14. Or it's an excuse to get wasted out in nature.

15. Sometimes, except that I don't wear "outfits."

16. Yes.

17. Yes.

18. Yes.

19. It happens.

20. Yes.

21. That's stupid.

22. What?

23. Wrong.

24. Not everything, but I do like Ranch.

25. Uh, no.

26. I don't say "fixin'."

27. IT'S SODA, DAMMIT!

[oumartin]

east of i-35 there are trees in kansas, and in oklahoma too though..
face it. both states are too damn windy!

[mdklatt]

what, you think there are trees in kansas? :confused:

That's my point. There are no naturally occurring trees west of I-35 in either state, so they are probably equally windy. Norman would be a lot windier if it wasn't for Mrs. Gearge Lynn Cross. Or was it Mrs. David Ross Boyd?

[SoonerInKCMO]

Upon further review, 11.

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. Yes.
6. Yes.
7. No.
8. No.
9. No.
10. No.
11. No.
12. Yes.
13. No.
14. No.
15. Yes.
16. Yes.
17. Yes.
18. Yes.
19. No.
20. No. It's Miam-ee in both states. People that say Miam-uh are as dimwitted as those that say Missour-uh.
21. Yes.
22. No.
23. No.
24. No. Just some things.
25. No.
26. No. Haven't said fixin' in about 20 years or more.
27. Yes.

[oumartin]

i like the wind cuz when I fart i don't have to smell it.

[Jimminy Crimson]

That's my point. There are no naturally occurring trees west of I-35 in either state, so they are probably equally windy. Norman would be a lot windier if it wasn't for Mrs. Gearge Lynn Cross. Or was it Mrs. David Ross Boyd?

It was David Ross Boyd, himself.

Good man.

He gave away free trees, but if you somehow killed it, you had to pay for it. :cool:

[MamaMia]

14. Or it's an excuse to get wasted out in nature.

21. That's stupid.
So, I take it while you were getting wasted at the lake, you never went into any of the quickie marts? :confused:

[silverwheels]

So, I take it while you were getting wasted at the lake, you never went into any of the quickie marts? :confused:

I've seen bait and movie rentals in the same store before, but not ammo. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. Or maybe I didn't want to find out.

[BehindEnemyLines]

I am about 50% I reckon...not too Okiefied

[BajaOklahoma]

Weleetka? Never heard of it.

I do know where Nowhere is though.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I know of a bait shop/barber shop in Kansas.
