fun with the Driller

[dayzella]

Long-time Tulsans, please tell me ...

Has the Golden Driller ever been decorated?  Does it have a Halloween outfit?  A Driller baseball shirt?  Chaps for Gay Pride?

Even just a flag would be nice.

It has on a KMOD shirt during the fair. I believe it had some OSU apparel on a month of so ago.

All apparel must be approved by the Driller's new boss, Chet.

The Tulsa driller needs to start drilling and get those oil prices down.... Hey~ In Texas at the Texas State Fair they are changing the duds on "Big Tex". For those of you who have never been to the Texas State Fair, "Big Tex" is a Giant Texan who welcomes everyone to the Texas Fair, I believe he's located in the bandstand area, he stands 52' tall and has been a fixture at the fair for many decades. They change his duds every now & then and when they do it's a big event and a ton of work. They had pictures of it in the Fort Worth newspaper. His garb is all custom made and it takes alot of cloth. His new shirt will be Yellow. Big Tex also talks and his mouth moves and I think his eyes move too. I have not been to the Texas Fair in many years.[]

Whoever wins the OSU/OU game puts a tie on the Driller.

Also various sponsors put shirts on him from time to time.  But I have not seen seasonal clothing on him.  Some high school needs to put a shirt/hat on him.

Best. Senior prank. Ever.

He needs a Hawaiian shirt and a big doobie hanging out of his mouth.

Eh, with kind, sometimes it just wouldn't matter to me.

Chaps for Gay Pride?

I would pay money to see that!

$100 to anyone who can get chaps on the Driller  for gay pride week. (And it doesn't count if he looks like Pistol Pete when you're done.)  (It also doesn't count if you Photoshop the chaps on...though that alone would be pretty funny.)  This would make the Driller into two of the Village People simultaneously...the construction worker AND leather guy...

That is just....sniffle...too beautiful for words.  You even picked a surf board motif.  Even better!

Rock on![}:)]

Well if the leather for that wouldn't set me back about $2000 I might do it.  Wait that's how the county does business isn't it?  Spend $2000 to make $100.  That'd be damned appropriate for a fixture on the fairgrounds.

Great mental picture though!

With computers todays you can put what ever ya want in the pictures. I'd like to see a picture of the Tulsa Driller in Alaska's WildLife perserve getting ready to drill for oil there, with all the Alaska scenery in background, and Watch the pump prices fall at QT.[]
