Just saying, Oklahoma roads are smoother than Texas roads.
I don’t know what roads you been on Judy but ours suck. Every state is broke so every state soon.
There are fewer Okie roads than Texas, that’s why! What you’ve got to watch out for are Okie turn signals which is just brake lights if they have any.
#33 is an North American A5
We’re famous for the three lane change exit as well.
Absolutely the three lane change exit without using turn signals. Head on a swivel when driving on the turnpikes or interstate near Tulsa or OKC.
I knew I was in Oklahoma when everyone I met fell into one of three categories:
1. smart and funny like Will Rogers
2. a simple-minded, bible-thumping grifter like Oral Roberts
3. a hybrid of the two like Bear Claw
I hear that truckers joke about I40 thru Arizona and New Mexico is one giant cattle guard. I40 Oklahoma is not as bad as New Mexico. We found that out when we moved from Utah to Mississippi last year.
Fake James Bond? So fake he dominated the franchise with 7 appearances. Look, I get it, nearly everyone worships Connery as the best Bond (and he was excellent in the role), but give Sir Roger his due. His films were a product of their time (as are all movies) and took on a more humorous tone. I don’t have a problem with that.
As someone who grew up watching his movies as they came out, he was my generations Bond, and I enjoyed his portrayal, even his one liners. Plus, the stunts of his era were often quite spectacular, and done entirely in reality, without the crutch of CGI, as became routine from the Brosnan era onward.
Besides, who can deny the best closing line ever in a Bond film is at the end of Moonraker, where Q states (with a straight, face no less) “I believe he’s attempting re-entry, sir”. I still get a solid laugh out of that one every time I see it.
Well hell, this went in the wrong thread. Too many tabs open.
