I love this state.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A state senator has a plan for saving Oklahoma's gamefowl industry now that cockfighters are legally prohibited from pitting birds fitted with razor-like spurs

State Sen. Frank Shurden, a longtime defender of cockfighting, is suggesting that roosters be given little boxing gloves so they can fight without bloodshed. The proposal is in a bill the Democrat has introduced for the legislative session that begins Feb. 7.

It's all about priorities. Gotta love what gets put at the top of the agenda sometimes.

I like how the news calls this as an attept to save the Gamefowl industry. Its like these roosters are jobless, and unemployed because they took out cockfighting.

Anyway no one I know here in Ok cares for it.

Well I was in Poteau Oklahoma over thanksgiving and was filling up the 2002 EC Z-71 and as I was paying a lady walked in and said "this was out in the parking lot" and proceeds to place a bag of "weed" on the counter. I said the same thing, Only in Oklahoma.
