This blogger can spot the difference.

There’s a strange dynamic between people in the airport. There are differences in this dynamic from place to place. In the OKC airport there’s a sense of denial that this is the Midwest. Oklahoma seems to be Texas’ fucked up little brother. For example, it’s pretty easy, even for me to tell the fat guys in bad suits with big, asinine cowboy hats from Texas from the fat guys in bad suits with big, asinine cowboy hats from Oklahoma. It’s really hard to explain. To dress like that and pull it off, you really have to be so vapid that you really don’t know any better and think you look great – thus Texans. But the Oklahoma folk; to their credit, know it looks stupid but that doesn’t seem to stop them from wearing it in an attempt to look like they’re from somewhere other than Oklahoma. They don’t even seem to give much thought to whether that somewhere else is even better than Oklahoma – I mean, how fucked up does your perspective have to be for you to wish like hell that you were from Texas? So any points they get for knowing better than to wear that hat are taken away ten-fold for knowing better and doing it anyway. And don’t get me wrong, I know there are cowboys in Oklahoma; that’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying the cowboys in Oklahoma aren’t allowed to leave Oklahoma and as such, would have no need to be in the airport. And I don’t think the cowboys are too terribly bothered by not being able to leave Oklahoma.
