and then, of course, there are those who chime in "Right on!" or "Ditto,
Rush!" as soon as someone like Mr. Rodgers here does to bring some
common sense to an otherwise OT discussion. I predict a number of echoes
until the thing finally disappears unless, of course, the original
inciter decides to sound off again to justify his/her notice.

The Texan stereotype is a loud, overbearing, braggart — ”Now listen,
son, I’ll tell you how to do it.” Okies are the opposite: understated,
quieter, more humble with a strong streak of self-effacing humor and
sarcasm. “I would dearly appreciate your showing me how to do it since
I’ve only done this a thousand times.” One popular automobile bumper
sticker reads, “It’s hard to be humble when you’re a Sooner.”   Read
