Silver Camaro Sighting
I said Silver, not Sliver. Ha!
So I'm leaving Mecca today and pull up behind a silver Camaro in the turn lane. With Oklahoma license plates!
Now I know that it most likely was not THE silvercamaro. Partly because she isn't in this neck of the woods right now, but mostly because I didn't see Annie hanging out the window.
But I still had to give a double take.
PS Please tell Clay that I dislike team names being singular nouns and my vote is for Barons. Thanks!

I'll tell him you said so. I'm of the larger group who likes "Thunder," or something similar that has some connection to the state without being scary-negative, such as "Oklahoma Twisters" or "Oklahoma City Bombers."Here's Fanny! wrote: PS Please tell Clay that I dislike team names being singular nouns and my vote is for Barons.

From that standpoint, I don't "get" Barons. I thought it was suggested originally as an internet hoax.

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

I assumed it was referring to Oil Barons. I think land or cattle would fit as well, but not as much as oil. Either that or they covet the old Boom Dizzle.silvercamaro wrote:I'll tell him you said so.

Personally, I thought Sonics (sans Super) was perfect, what with the Sonic tie-in and all.

Re: Silver Camaro Sighting
Duh, I think I understand what you meant now (I need to read for content more). It's not that you didn't get what Barons had to do with Oklahoma, but that you feel it's negative. I think it's a mostly positive word that, like most words, can just be used negatively (like robber baron), so that might be why I like it.Here's Fanny! wrote:I assumed it was referring to Oil Barons.

I do prefer Thunder over Wind because then your stadium song can be something badass like Thunderstruck by AC/DC instead of something like She's Like the Wind by Patrick Swayze.
No matter what their name ends up being, I already like them. I was so impressed by the OKC fans when the Hornets were playing games there and said back then that they deserved their own team.
If the Nuggets couldn't resign Eduardo Najera I was hoping he'd sign with Oklahoma, since that's where he went to school and I believe he lives there in the offseason when he's not doing stuff in Mexico. Plus then I'd still get to see him a lot.

Years ago when the Stanford Indians decided to go pc, they let the student body vote on a new name. Well, Stanford students being Stanford students they decided on "Robber Barons". They were honoring Leland Stanford's railroad heritage. TBTB didn't like this and threw out the vote and decided on "Cardinal".
So now they are stuck with this singular name and a dancing tree as their mascot.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Re: Silver Camaro Sighting
My dad was part of the first graduating class from Sandia High School in Albuquerque. Like the Stanford, the student body got to vote on the mascot. Those crazy kids picked, "Satans" Neat. Sandia Satans has a certain ring to it. The church across the street from Sandia threw a big hissy fit, and they became "The Sandia Matadors"ulysses5019 wrote:Here's Fanny! wrote:Duh, I think I understand what you meant now (I need to read for content more).
