Okay, seems really Liberace Gay.

Question, the threat alert bar goes from high to low (left to right). As a Human Factors and Ergonomics professional I would say this is wrong or counterintuitive as the bar should go from low to high (left to right).

Does this seem odd to anyone else?

Its a left-handed chart, you need to download the right-handed version..

WTF is that? Talk about scaring folks silly. Are you ready for a red dirt nap? That is how I read it and it is beyond crazy. Why would they do that? Dirt gives only one impression and it's not a good one.

SicEmBaylor · 12/16/2009, 09:28 PM

i gucking love redi dirt msuic.

batonrougesooner · 12/16/2009, 10:11 PM

Exactly. I love me some red dirt music. So I guess I'm ready for some...

batonrougesooner · 12/16/2009, 10:17 PM

by the way, anyone else notice it was Morgan Freeman doing the voice over on the tv commercial?

I've always liked that guy. Will forever be "Red" to me in Shawshank.

**Chuck Bao** · 12/16/2009, 10:24 PM

You must be joking about a TV commercial and for Homeland Security to hire Morgan Freeman. I realize that many actors donate time for public service spots, but seriously this campaign is crazy.

Is the Red Dirt Saloon still on Campus Corner?

I remember seeing Stoney Larue there damn near 10 years ago... It was in the old Liberty D's building.

I am still angry about this. Who signed off on this travesty?

What was it? Oklahoma is a red state and we all should get our warm and fuzzies about red dirt?

My own family's farm is black land, I guess sediment deposits from a shallow ocean some 90 million years ago. I can't speak for anyone else but I am curious if anyone here is keen to talk about their "red dirt" farm. The fact is that there is some really poignant symbolism going on here and maybe some catch it and I am not sure the majority would. I am definitely saying that this Homeland Security PR exercise is misguided.

Chuck Western OK is pretty much all RED Dirt

That was what I was looking for and thank you, Olevet. It is really red and because of why? I still haven't heard any farmer talking about his red dirt farm. Maybe there are some and maybe they have the right to brag. Red in a clay soil means what, iron?

**olevetonahill** · 12/17/2009, 08:18 PM

Dont know Bro
I just know that Red dirt out there grows a whole lot of wheat and Cotton every year

**Chuck Bao** · 12/17/2009, 08:19 PM

We have lots and lots of geologists graduates from OU posting here. Where are they to explain the red dirt phenom?

You got it in one. Presence of iron oxide.
