Oklahoma

1. Q:Where is Oklahoma?
   A:Oklahoma can commonly be found just north of Texas, and just south of Kansas. (Yes, there IS a state there!)
2. Q:What is Oklahoma shaped like?
   A:Well, in grade school, I was taught Oklahoma looked like a pot, with the bottom punched out. That would be that space between Texas and Kansas, btw.
3. No, we do not live in tipis. Or hunt Indians, buffalo, or anything else, except deer. We are pretty much just like everyone else. Why, just last week, someone invented the wheel!
4. Hanson is by no means representative of Oklahoma, musically or otherwise. Check out my list of other Oklahoma bands for proof.
5. "Oklahoma!" is not representative of how we live, nor is it our state song. I have no idea what the state song is, but it is not that.
6. Yes, our state "flower" is in fact a parasite that doesn't bloom, and doesn't grow very much in Oklahoma either, and when it does, is generally reviled by everyone. I think they tried to change it once, but apparently it didn't work.
7. We actually have more tornadoes than Kansas does. Kansas just got that movie, "The Wizard of Oz". I think we have the most tornadoes of anywhere in the country.
8. Oklahoma is NOT a flat desert. That's the Western half of the state. The Eastern half of the state has hills, and has lots of trees and stuff. It's not a big rolling plain either. After the Great Depression, they planted lots of trees to hold down the topsoil. And we don't live like they do in The Grapes of Wrath either. It's almost the year 2000, not the year 1930.
