Just goes to show that I wasn't paying attention... that you were renting before.

My accounting firm, a large one in Houston, knows what it is doing. I have only been doing this since 1986, so don;t pay me any mind. |

So is our resident Oklahoman correct in his assertion that this is all a "communist conspiracy" ?
And should Oklahoma Territory be granted Statehood ? |
Who IS this "Oklahoman" that you keep referring to? Is this the one and the same "hillbilly" that yer soulmate 007 refers to?

I have the same question. As far as I know we haven't had any here. I suspect that the term is being used to refer to any Southerner. But, of course, to us... this doesn't work. It would be rather as if we referred to someone from Scotland as "Irish" because they are both "not" English or something. Anyway it is a reference that doesn't quite make the grade.

OK, I won't. John cleared things up for me. |

Dear scot47,
"In "Fort Zinderneuf",where I perform my didactic duties , there is a gentleman from the Territory of Oklahoma. He is a wise man, full of erudition, wit and repartee. How he came to this fate, I know not. As with our comrades in the Legion it is here considered a breach of etiquette to discuss the past or what has brought our companions to this place.
I can report that from time to time he looks wistful and says,"A woman did this to me." Then he changes the subject."
I think I may know this guy. If you get the chance, ask him if my name rings a bell.
Regards,
John |
