Do Oklahomans Eat Squirrels?

Last night at happy hour one of my Oklahoma coworkers confessed to our Connecticut boss that he had eaten squirrel on more than one occassion causing our boss to nearly fall off her bar stool. When I relayed this hilarious story to yet another Oklahoma coworker, instead of the expected shock I got "oh she just doesn't understand Oklahoma."

So this got me thinking: ARE THEY REALLY EATING SQUIRRELS HERE?

A quick google search turned up a little more info:
In the U.S., especially in the South, the tradition goes way back, and only started becoming less common in recent decades. "Squirrels were a staple in the Alabama diet for decades as late as the 1940s," says Michael C. Bolton at AL.com, and "the squirrel was the No. 1 hunted species in Alabama until 1972," when deer took over the top spot. "We've eaten it since colonial days," says Smith. "In fact sometimes, during hard times, a lot of people primarily subsisted from squirrel meat, just for want of anything better."

I don't care if it is supposed to taste like chicken (which my coworker did in fact confirm) I'm not accepting any invitations for home cooked meals here in OK.

Putting Christ back in Christmas

Bravo Oklahoma City! Not enough cities have the balls to boldly scream Christianity as loudly as you. Everyone should have a couple of crosses shining brightly in their face as they stumble home from the bars as a reminder to repent and be saved. Those caught saying “Happy Holidays” should immediately be stoned to death. Just as Jesus intended.
