re: When I think of Oklahoma

I looked this up once, and it actually has to do with the fact that those roads were tolls before the interstate system existed. When they created it, they overlayed some highways on the existing toll roads & allowed them to continue to be tolls. Below is an AI explanation that goes into a bit more detail.

When the Interstate Highway System was created in 1956 under President Eisenhower’s Federal-Aid Highway Act, the idea was to build a network of free, high-speed highways across the U.S. But many toll roads already existed — especially in the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the South.

Rather than tearing up or bypassing these roads, the government decided:

Already-existing toll roads could be incorporated into the new Interstate System.

This allowed states to avoid duplicating infrastructure, and the tolls were permitted to remain. These roads had often been built in the 1940s or early 1950s, before the federal program existed, and were funded by state bonds and tolls — not federal dollars.

We should all ask Stan Kroenke what he thinks of Missouri.

Wow 4 pages of guys thinking about Oklahoma. Crazy

I think of rednecks and tornados.

You've just exposed yourself as weak. And you envy me.

I blew through it a-hole. You don't know me.

It ain't nothin for me to frick shite up. Enjoy your keyboard distance.

I didn’t know that the newest trend was for millionaires to live in shacks and trailer parks.

To be fair, they do have a lot of $80k pickups parked outside of them.

And the overly excessive amount of massive catastrophic tornadoes.

I’ve stayed overnight in OK less than 25 times and almost got smashed by baseball hail once right in OKC.

Oklahoma has the same number of SEC tournament wins as Missouri. Oklahoma has been playing in the SEC tournament since….tuesday.
