Hello from Oklahoma

AdoptedToffee · August 20, 2014

Hello all, I'm new to the forum so I'm making my obligatory intro post.

Where about are you from?: Oklahoma, USA
How did you find these forums?: @therealbuotte on Twitter
How did you become an Evertonian?: Good question. I kind of started a blog to write about that. Check it out at www.adoptedbyeverton.com
Your all-time favourite Everton player?: Do you mean "favorite"? Hahaha. I kind of have to say Landon Donovan, I think.
Your current favourite player?: Timmy, but I'm just getting to know the rest of the boys better.
Pineapple on Pizza, Is it socially acceptable? What are your views?: Never. Ever.

Welcome.
How about an Around the World from Hideaway?

Welcome to GOT. Nice read too, but one correction: Everton are not Liverpool's "second" team. The little brother may have more silverware, and a disproportionate number of Scandanavian fans, but Everton are the first team of Liverpool in history and in class.

Yes. The ATW at the ORIGINAL Hideaway is the standard by which all pizza must be measured. And it has no pineapple, so there you go.

(I have to say that the Hideaway was way down the list of things I figured my second post on an Everton forum would address.)

Is this the same Hideaway that Freddie King was on about?

Say it is, please....

That Hideaway is also good stuff, but sadly, unlikely to be the same

Agreed. I used the quotes there to acknowledge that the other team would be considered more well-known over here in the States.

Yes, important info that.

We are the original team from Liverpool, they are an offshoot and wouldn't exist without us.

Remind them regularly....
