Can get very hot in the summer. But you knew that. :-)
[link|http://www.okc.gov/|http://www.okc.gov/] might be a good place to start looking around. I haven't been there myself. I did drive through OK one summer in an unairconditioned car. An experience I won't soon forget!
Cheers,
Scott.

near beer?
When I lived there the grocery store beer was 3.2% alcohol, we called it "near beer".
It was funny, because I was used to the "strong" stuff, and it didn't get me drunk. I had to go to the liquor store to buy it. We would have pool parties and my friends would be stone drunk and I wouldn't even be buzzed on the near beer.
I used to bring the "real beer" to the party and most people couldn't handle more than 2-3 cans.
Funny, when I moved back to Texas, someone introduced me to foreign ales which have even more alcohol, and I hardly drink a domestic beer anymore anyway.
The wife buys wine, I like Merlot and Cab. Sav.
I also like the Australian Shiraz, and it's cheaper. I need to make it a point to visit Australia before I die. I like their beer and wine, and the concept of vast beaches with few people appeals to me. The Opera House seems to be appealing, too.
I know where you were headed with that Box, but usually Steers and q----s is reserved specifically for someone who goes to University of Texas and is gender challenged.

Officer and a Gentleman Quote
I think the original source was Louis Gosset Jr. as a drill sargent dressing down a David Keith. In that one, he was referring to Oklahoma. Now, an officer and a gentleman may have gotten it from somewhere, too.
However, a little Internet search on the phrase turned up a WHOLE bunch of Texas references. Some from a garage band in Austin. Austin is a hot spot for the gender challenged, so of course, being from Texas A&M (where gender challenged people are generally hazed until they quit school), I'm sure I heard it enough to refer to those "gender challenged" types from that little school in Austin, Texas.
Where BEVO is their mascot. Steers (BEVO) and q----s (on 6th steet).

Sorry to say...
...it ain't ONLY used to refer to gay folk from Austin.
Having attended "that little school" in Austin for 4 years, I can say that I never once heard the "steers and queers" phrase used to refer to gay people attending UT. Heard it from outsiders talking about people IN Texas (the state in general), from Longhorns referring to people who attend the other "little school" in College Station (and, of course, vice versa), and from Texas referring to Oklahomans, as Bill stated.
But AFAIK, it's not solely (or even mainly) used to refer to gays in Austin.
