I am a Survivor fan, and when my brother (the one who wears the tie) sent me this I just had to share it. Being from Oklahoma helps to really appreciate it, but pretty much anyone from the south will appreciate this.
Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Oklahoma is planning to do its own, entitled "Survivor-Oklahoma Style."
The contestants will start in Tahlequah, travel to Tulsa, going west on 51 thru Hulbert, proceed to Coweta, get on the Broken Arrow by-pass exit on Memorial, go south thru Bixby continue south on hwy 64 thru Lenord and Big Bear country then continue thru Haskell to hwy 16 on into Muskogee taking hwy 62 back into Tahlequah again and park in front of Ned's place.
Each will be driving a pink Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads I am gay, I am a vegetarian, I voted for Al Gore, George Strait sucks, Hillary in 2008, protect our fish and deer, and I am here to confiscate your guns".
The first one to make it back to Tahlequah alive wins.
You may need to include a pronunciation guide for your readers on the coasts. Everyone should know the joy of saying "Tahlequah" over and over again. Of course, you must be careful how you wield your power....we're apt to have a "Tahlequah Coweta Smith" or two show up to school in a few years.

Debra, you're correct about pronunciation. This is for all:
Tahlequah (Tal-E-kwa): Town founded by the Cherokee Indians in 1839 and once the Capitol of the Cherokee Nation. Also was the site of the Old Cherokee Supreme Court. Currently, the home of the Cherokee Cultural Center.
And, there are several I know with the name Tahlequah. Very pretty name for a lady.

ummh... am I the only one here that feels like I just got transported into a sequel of some nameless-midwestern-took-a-wrong-turn-back-off-the-highway-slasher flicks???
I swear I just heard someone say: "Boy, you gotta perty mouth."
Good thing all we have out here is earthquakes, silicone, a little traffic, smog, and your occasional car-jacking!!!

I have to say, not being a native Oklahomean (is that a word?) I don't get a lot of the details of this show, but I do understand the broad strokes and it made me laugh! :) I'd like to see that show...
Well, I'm off to Israel for 13 days, but thanks to the magic of iWeb, you can follow my progress here...

The wife sent me a picture this show's host. WOWZA!! Perhaps other faithful viewers would like a peek. (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)
Happy Post-Halloween!
