Oklahoma in pictures (going back a week or so)

How one eats in Oklahoma. I can't imagine why there's an obesity problem:

Chili, covered in chili, covered in cheese, covered in chili. Oh, and a couple of fries underneath. God bless America.

Ron's Hamburgers (& Chili): the gooey-ist, yummiest burger in all the land.

You can order pretty much anything on the menu 'spanish style,' which means fried onions and jalapenos. I thought when I ordered my cheeseburger spanish style, these items would come ON the burger, but the waitress decided that it was cheaper just to deliver it as a SIDE. Like anybody's going to dive in with a fork to a side of onions and jalapenos. But then again...

I unfortunately did not have the pleasure of having Pappy's chicken fried steak special, but boo howdy!

I know you were up all night wondering what Cherokee Gothic was, so I'm here to reveal the answer: it's a style of architecture! Welcome to OU.

At this point in the afternoon, I did not have an OU shirt on. And on a game day, that caused  me to stick out like a sore thumb.  I was reprimanded pretty quickly for calling the school color 'maroon,' which was apparently like spitting in a fan's face. It's CRIMSON, PEOPLE. CRIMSON AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT. LIKE THE COLOR OF THE BLOOD WE'RE GOING TO SPILL ON THE FIELD TODAY. BECAUSE WE'RE SOONERS.

This may LOOK like Chicago-style pizza, but you'd be wrong: the crust is actually really light and puffy. And it was DELISH. Thank you, Louie's. I owe you my hips.

Yes. Football is a way of life; a religion; a fanatical cult. And in Oklahoma, you pretty much worship at the Sooner throne.

Cherokee Gothic by night. With what appears to be a large spaceship in the background. If that's not the clashing of two cultures, I don't know what is.
