(he fouled a lot by the way) he had a nice modest house and a wonderful family who would have knew he would go on to be mayor of our gr8t city..... plz feel free to post your memories or personal expriences wit our mayor....

I get it, they're commercials are pretty neat commercials. I totally see the genius in them as a professional marketer.

[jbrown84]

as a professional marketer.

That's 2 of those today.


No offense Nawfside, but I think most of us would prefer you not post here as if you're sending text messages. We don't expect you to run your posts through Spellcheck in Microsoft Word, but "plz", "wit", and "gr8t" can get very annoying after a while.

[Nawfside OKC]

oh ok I get it sorry to offend. I am new to the forum and should take in the consideration of the 'elder' posters. I really didn't mean to post the title 'wit' on here.....I just get in a rush reading the post and adding them...but not anymore I don't want to be cut off from the hippest OKC site around...!

In regards to "that's 2" yeah, I'm not sure what the deal was, just happened to be two posts today talking about advertising, so whoever was talking my language.

[jbrown84]

Just a friendly jab, metro.

Nawfside, you didn't offend anyone. Just letting you know kind of the "etiquette" around here.

[CuatrodeMayo]

I thought it was some sort of ebonics =)

[metro]

oh I know jbrown, no worries

[Nawfside OKC]

I thought it was some sort of ebonics =)

man .........I just sent a pm to the administrator to change the title from wit to with or cancel the thead or whatever... I just wanted to share my personal experience I had with our mayor and hear ya'll... I haven't even been on here a full day yet so let me fall back....

[CuatrodeMayo]

Allright allright. Just kiddin with you.

[Nawfside OKC]

mayo your cool I got thick skin... I love this site and I don't want to be shut out of a site by the posters..because I can't stay away from OKC talk . its the only site that makes me feel at home while I'm here in florida...I enjoy your posts and the posts of others but it does kinda suck to open a thread and see you got new replies only to find its not on the topic but rather on the poster. but I'm sure that has happen to everyone that posts....

ah, it's my fault. I can't resist making either a pop-culture reference or a tv/movie reference to situations that present themselves..... you provided the PERFECT opportunity to be a smarta$$... so I took it.... and I'll do it again when I get the chance.....

When does the kissing part of the make-up begin?

I have never know the Mayor of Oklahoma City. In fact, the only Mayor I know was the Mayor of Oldsmar, Florida. His name was Jerry Beverland. One day I was getting on the elevator in City Hall and he was already standing in it reading a paper. When I got on he reached over and push the button for the second floor, and then gave me a tip on riding an elevator. He said make sure you push a button for the floor you want. He had been standing there going no where for 5 minutes. I guess it was good newspaper story to not realize that it was taking 5 minutes to go up one floor.

I actually lived in the same neighborhood as the mayor(Wilshire Hills) as well. Live about 2 blocks down from him. I remember going over to his house to play basketball in his backyard because he had a "Full' court back there.

I never got to meet him personally. I only hung out w/ his sons. They were cool. But thats my only connection.

Who knows Nawfside, we might have run across each other back then...

[Nawfside OKC]
