The way Americans, er, most Oklahomans see the world

[RadioFan]

I normally wouldn't post something like this, especially from a mass e-mail from an extended "friend."

Only, on this board, there about 100 different ways this one could go, so I'll start:


"Excellent! You just passed Geography, Aaron and Brianna!"

Sin,

Private schools.

------------

"Excellent! You just passed Geography, Mike and Maria."

Sin,

Public schools.

------------

That's it, in a nutshell! Why these kids HAVE to take geography, is beyond me. Fuck the rest of the world. Let THEM learn about US. We R #1! It says so, on the map!

Sin,

An increasingly scary percentage of the American Public.



Discuss.

Miss Teen South Carolina shouts out a THANK YOU to RF for neatly summarizing her ... ??thoughts?? ... for her.


RACK!

[War Wagon]

Amusing cartography there RF. I chuckled at the area described as "pussies".

Lotsa' American folks aren't amused by this, though. Seems some of our southern neighbors would rather view a map of North America this way:



Sorry, chavo... there was a War. You lost. Get over it.

Absolut vodka apologized for running the ad, of course... which is a damn good thing. I think we're spread just a bit too thin to be invading Sweden anytime soon.

[Mister Bushice]

Shouldn't Canada say "Inhabited by stupid people"?

And Mexicans are not given enough credit. They also pick our fruits and vegetables, mow our lawns, and suck our health care system dry.

[War Wagon]

And Mexicans are not given enough credit.

True.

This may ruin a few stereotypes some folks have, but a Mexican home builder spent $30 million with my company last year and plan to spend another $30 mil this year, providing over 300 decent paying jobs. We've been running 3 shifts 6 days a week to keep up with demand.

Good timing, being as how the domestic home building market has shriveled to practically nothing this past year. We'd essentially be shut down if it weren't for the Mexican and South American market.

[Wolfman]

So in the "Absolut World" the Mexicans would be sneaking across the border into say Kansas ??

Nah, Oklahoma.

And Dins would still call his turf the U & L, 'cept he'd speak Spanish.

Your neighbourhood is inhabited by the products of incest.

And fear. Lots of fear.

Sorry. I guess "Ignorant stupid people" is more accurate.

[Jeff in SD]

If Mexico still had all that land, they would still be poor and would make the west coast as god awful as their country.

[Mikey]

Baja would be a lot bigger.

And Portland would be Tijuana. Sorry dins.

[Mikey]

The Way Most Americans See Oklahoma...

[OCmike]

Sorry, chavo... there was a War. You lost. Get over it.

What does SHE have to do with it?



Oh, crap, nevermind...Oot.

[PSUFAN]

The Way Most Americans See Oklahoma...

The funniest part of this is that a Californian posted it.

How many of you fuckers are Okies? You're the Okies that the wind blew to the edge of the continent.

Shit - didn't you read Hell's Angels?

[Mikey]

Fourth generation Californicator here. None of my ancestors ever so much as smelled Oklahoma, much less stepped in it.

[Diego in Seattle]

The Way Most Americans See Oklahoma...

Most people in Seattle would consider that pic much too kind.

Fuck you, Clay.

[JayDuck]

Nah, Oklahoma.

speaking of shitty geography

And Portland would be Tijuana. Sorry dins.

Sheesh. You too, Mikey. I thought you went to Stanford.



Looks like they got about 50 miles of Southern Oregon on that map. Still got about another 300 miles or so to claim Portland.

[OCmike]

They clearly only wanted to claim desirable areas of the west. :wink:

Exactly.

Even more sad, is the number of Oklahomans, er, Americans, who see the world, according to Wags' map.

Sin,

[Atomic Punk]

So what happened to Africa?

Should I eagerly be waiting Pikkkle's response to that?

Actually, a good ole' God-fearin' naggar hayter from Oklahoma would have not been Politically Correct and exclude the "dark continent" from that map. The artist of that graphic most likely has sucked many a black dong in addition to taking it up the pooper many many times. I'm guessing a guy that habitually practices self-aggrandizement on the boards is most likely to have spammed the Volvo corporate offices.

I'd say it's more like 120 miles of Southern Oregon with another 120 miles to Portland (as the crow flies). But who wants to be picky, right? :wink:

So Coos Bay is Tijuana, and no I didn't go to Stanford. Bunch of arrogant stuck-up pricks if you ask me.
I went to one of the lesser known extensions of the UC system.

UC Compton ??

So you're a mehican?

[Dinsdale]

You're still not even to Salem yet, Geography Master.

[Mikey]

You're right. Salem is about 200 miles north of the border and 40 miles south of Portland. Eyeballing that map, the Abslout border is about halfway from CA to Portland.

So, what's your point (other than you don't know when to STFU)?

[Dinsdale]

Salem is about 200 miles north of the border and 40 miles south of Portland.

No.

And no.

[Mikey]

Salem is about 200 miles north of the border and 40 miles south of Portland.

No.

And no.

Whatever you say, mensa. I guess, as in word definitions, you have your own distance definitions as opposed to the "rest of the world".

[Mikey]

Either that, or it depends on your definition of "about".

[ChargerMike]

Either that, or it depends on your definition of "about".

...there you go again...quoting Bubba

[Mister Bushice]

Either that, or it depends on your definition of "about".

Rack Mikey for the over

Can't wait for the spin. THAT ought to be interesting.

More than likely though he'll resort to option #2: RUN AWAY!!!!!




"When Logic reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, bravely Dinsdale turned about and gallantly he chickened out.

Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat,

Bravest of the brave, brave Dinsdale."

[Mikey]

I think he may be out there right now driving from Salem to the California border. He'll then post "before and after" pictures of the odometer from his '74 Mustang II (boredom zero) to prove his point.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to post geography.

[SunCoastSooner]

You forgot work at KFC, wash dishes, and run those cool little taco stands in San Diego. :twisted:

Actually they are the real Okies. Okies was a word originally coined to describe those who left Oklahoma for California not that lived in Oklahoma itself.

Fuck you, Clay.

Wahhhhhhh Wahhhhhh, we'll build a new football stadium but not replace a basketball arena that is older than half the population of the city, wahhhhhhh wahhhhhh. We'll build a new baseball stadium for a team that is a perenial cellar dweller but not for the only team that has brought us a title, wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhh. We'll build a spiffy new place for a soccer team to fold its operations from in 5 years but not for a team that has been in the city for generations wahhhhhhhhh wahhhhhhhh.

How does it feel to know that a bunch of "poor" redneck Okies came in and outspent your local citizens and that the "poor" ole city in the dust bowl can ante up the kind of money that Seattle refuses to do so? I'll hang up and take your answer on the air.

The fact that Oklahoma has three of the top ten most integrated communities in America, Lawton (which is number #1 in the country), Oklahoma City, and Ardmore, has no relevance on the subject though does it? Don't let facts get in the way of a stupid argument though.

You do realize that your state is the one parcel of land in the United States that was deemed to be so worthless that white people didn't even bother to steal it from the Indians until all the good land had already been taken?

[PSUFAN]

Calling out Sooners on this board?


Yep...GREAT idea.
