It is only in baseball that Boston transforms into a chest-forward, neck-waggling, finger-pointing Jerry Springer guest.
Also, race relations. In reputation, anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm not saying that it's nice to call people names.

Sometimes, I'm.... not nice.
Hey, are we B&T now? Should I be wearing tighter clothes?

Silence means security silence means approval
Except that Tulsa has no baseball team.
Aaah, but they have college football. Not quite on the "You were on the 40-man roster for the 2004 Red Sox? You're getting SOOO lucky tonight" level of insanity, but it's really, really bad.
There's an old saying that when someone moves to Oklahoma, before they pick a house or a doctor, they must pick between OU and OSU. And the easiest way to get kicked out of a family is to plan your wedding for OU-Texas weekend.

See, also an area in which Boston and Tulsa are analogues. Boston had the busing riots of the 70s. Tulsa had the Greenwood Riot of 1921. Both are never mentioned in conversation, polite or otherwise.
Tulsa: Boston's long lost twin brother, countrified.

B&T is more than living in an outer borough. It's a whole lifestyle that can include, lawn ornaments, gold chains, really tight t-shirts, neon on your car, heading to the middle village on a wekkend night, thick accents, non-gay men shaving and/or waxing all or most of their torso, being really loud all the time.

I can say the same thing about Tulsa, only swap the whaling for oil, the New York rivalry with Oklahoma City, and Red Sox traditions with Sooner traditions. And steep in a mixture of Charismatic, Evangelical, and Fundamentalist Christianity, then top it with some televangelists.
Yes, but this presupposes that anything in the flyover states matters.

Just to be sparkling clear, the above is a joke.

OK, so I can go over a bridge to the City without having to transform my personal style? PHEW.
