Any day next week but the evening of the 10th. I have never been inside the Fur shop or Hodges Bend but both look interesting. Anyone who could tolerate having a beer with an opinionated, out of touch, overly sensitive, creative, Welsh/English/Cherokee, native Tulsan....is welcome to drink with me.

Irish...we can complain about the over-seasoned local cuisine.

How about a Scotsman with Cherokee and Sioux?  Or is that too much rage?

Ditto, only no Cherokee in this Welshman.

Our ancestors all have in common a hatred of the British and a mistrust of government.

Awesome.  I'm a direct descendent of William Wallace (yes, that one).

I will not, however, paint my face blue.

No problem How's.  The Scotts during that period never painted their faces blue - Mel Gibson added it for dramatic effect.  He also left out all the raping and murder done by Wallace against Scottish towns that stayed "neutral".   

You bastard.  :p

People back then just weren't nice.

I'm half British Isles: a bit English, a bit Scottish (also Scotch as an adult), probably some Welsh, and maybe some northern Irish.  That all seems like a self contradicting mix.

I'm mostly English and my family is from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Also Scottish, Clan Dalrymple, and bit of Welsh. I am super white. I almost glow in the sun and I don't dance so there won't be a Elaine Benes situation.

Longshanks is a part of that lineage as well.

It's sad that this house was torn down, for me growing up in Tulsa it was a landmark home, and the lawn on the west side was the place in the 70's for the fireworks on the 4th when that was the location. Reading about the proposed development there reminds me of when both Mabel and Hubert had passed and the MA-HU mansion was first vacant back in the late 60's or early 70's. There were a number of plans proposed for that 40 acre lot that never came to be, including one that the mansion would be a meeting facility/center piece of a development that include a conference center, a park, an upscale hotel and retail back in '71 or '72, (IIRC). The big issue that killed most of the proposed developments was the fact that the developers wanted a street that ran from the light that is where Whataburger is going west into the neighborhood on the west side of the property. My parents lived on 26th Court where this street would meet ours, and were opposed to it. That property, even after the house was demolished, sat vacant until the late 80's, so almost 20 years of being a problem and an eyesore.

I may not agree with the things that at being done, but at least it won't be a waste land (hopefully) for 10 to 20 years.
