- - Oklahoma City (http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=22467)

This thread is thought of largely as a companion to demonrail6six6's 'NEW YORK' one. I've been to Oklahoma City and loved it, and wouldn't mind living there for a bit one day. As a city it seems to generate as many extreme views as NEW YORK, so just wondered what others here thought of it.

I've thought nothing of it, ever.

Never will.

I say it seems like a mighty fine place to spacejack a ride.

Oklahoma Spaceport, Oklahoma

Oklahoma Spaceport:The Oklahoma Spaceport received approval from the FAA in 2006 to begin the initial steps toward their goal of providing space tourism services to the public. This revolutionary spaceport is located on a 2,700 acre site and features one of the longest runways in North America at 13,503ft by 300ft wide. Oklahoma Spaceport even features an on-site golf course, so you can play a quick round while you’re waiting for your flight into space. They’ve teamed-up with Rocketplane/Kistler (RPK) to provide the Oklahoma Spaceport with a full-service space tourism company. Rocketplane is scheduled to begin test flights of their reusable spacecraft called the K1 in late 2008. The K1 is a vertical launch spacecraft that is 121ft in length, 22ft in diameter and weighs in at a hefty 845,000lbm at liftoff. This ship is powered by liquid-propellant engines that are designed to be reused 100 times before needing to be replaced. The K1 is not the only spacecraft that will use Oklahoma Spaceport as a launch site, but it will be one of the first. If all goes well with testing, the Oklahoma Spaceport should be fully operational within the next couple of years.

world capital of lice

no thanks.

that is a bold faced half-truth.

besides, it's nothing that a bioscrubber can't fix.

I've never crossed the ocean and never visited this lovely place.

Acutally I don't know what I could visit in this town...

Even though I live close, I haven't been there since I was a kid.

Where are you getting this info? You've said this before... I havent even heard of anyone having lice since my little sister had a classmate with lice when she was in first grade. She's 33 now and I've been around medical field my whole life. I searched it last time you said it and found nothing. Am I gullible?

oh wow, an on-site golf course so you that i can play a quick round while you’re waiting for my flight into space.

I hear tell there's hot girls and nerdy robots making babies all up in there.

I've seen the musical! Everyone was so......up for it!

I met a pretty girl from Oklahoma City in the US. She was 18 and had a shy smile on her face, and braces. I kept looking at her while she was riding go-karts. That's about the only thing I associate with this town.

synth... you're such a sweet heart.

well savage. you know... flips hair.

I think I ate mediocre pancakes and drank insipid coffee there once.

I went to the OKC once to see a show and man there were some fine curvy thick legged bootielicious ladies in the audience.

you don't even like pancakes to begin with.

oh remember yesterday when i was talking about the place with good gravy? that's the place where thelma and louise are having coffee/breakfast when the realize they left brad pitt with the money. har.

rob.. of course you did! okies are smokin'.

I remember the waitress who served us gave me a hard-on with just a look.

Must be something about OK women.

I flew over Okieland once.

To this day I can't look at Oklahoma on a map without thinking about that waitress. And then I can't stand up for a while. If someone uses the name of that state in a sentence, I blush and then must quickly excuse myself from the room.
