Isn’t Murder Bad?

Meet Andrew Harshman. Mr. Harshman apparently lost his girlfriend to Enid businessman Rick Childs. In response, Harshman did what any red blooded male does when trying to recapture their woman. He tried to hire a hitman. Luckily for Rick, Harshman was not very clever in his attempts. According to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs:

The investigation started when Enid Police learned that Mr. Harshman was actively soliciting the murder of a local business man and was offering to pay for the potential murder.

The Enid Police Narcotics Unit, EPD Investigative Service Division, along with an Agent with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs combined efforts to investigate this allegation. Officers were able to introduce an undercover officer to Harshman as the person who would potentially carry out the murder for hire. The undercover officer obtained enough information from Harshman to establish the solicitation, and through technical investigative procedures, surveillance, and outstanding undercover work by the OBN Agent, officers were able to establish probable cause to arrest Mr. Harshman Tuesday morning.

Bravo to Enid law enforcement, right? They saved a man’s life and set it up so Andrew Harshman will not be able to hurt anyone else. Well, at least not unless he does it during the week.

I know what you’re asking, “What?” Great question. According to this News9 article, Harshman was convicted of trying to hire one person to murder another person and his penalty is 60 weekends (a total of 120 days) in jail. Making it even less constricting is that they aren’t even consecutive weekends. The penalty requires that he spend at least one weekend per month in prison.

One weekend a month? Isn’t that what Army reservists have to commit? Of course, the reservists have the additional burden of possibly being sent to Iraq for an unspecified length of time. So, I guess the lesson is that reservists should offer an undercover police officer $36K to murder their ex-girlfriend’s new husbands.

Still An Obscure Local Social Blog…

So, about that Oklahoma Gazette article.

Yeah, that’s a cover story about our little web site. Yeah, the Gazette must be running out of things to write about. Needless to say, it is a little strange to see things we said in black and white print, and reading people like Kelly Ogle and Lauren Richardson (people we see on television!) talking about us is sufficiently freaky as hell.

We don’t have much to add, but frankly are pretty discouraged about the whole thing. Where are we at in society today? Are you kidding me? An article on The Lost Ogle? That’s why we don’t read the newspaper! Because it’s garbage. And the editor who let that come out is GARBAGE!

Jenni Carlson hates blow-up dolls

This past weekend, the Chicago White Sox did something weird to break out of their recent slump. They got out the blow-up dolls. From the Chicago Sun-Times:

If anyone was offended by the White Sox having a pair of inflatable dolls surrounded by bats and a sign encouraging players to “push” in their clubhouse before Sunday’s game in Toronto, don’t expect an apology from manager Ozzie Guillen…

On Sunday, the bats were circled around the two naked female dolls, one of whom had a bat inserted in its backside to prop it up. Each wore a sign over her breasts, one saying “Let’s Go White Sox” and the other reading “You’ve Got to Push,” the National Post in Toronto reported.

As I said, that’s weird. But know what’s even weirder? Look who got upset:

One group not amused by the prank was the Association for Women in Sports Media, whose members work toward ensuring a non-threatening work environment for all women in sports media. “The presence of those dolls creates an uncomfortable situation for any female journalist who enters the White Sox locker room simply trying to do her job,” said Jenni Carlson, the group’s president, in an e-mail.

Yes, the White Sox “slump buster” was pretty bizarre and tacky. And yes, I can see how a respectable female journalist would feel uncomfortable around blow-up dolls with bats “inserted in their backsides.” But wouldn’t any person who is not a Christie’s Toy Box employees or arrogant athlete feel uncomfortable trying to work while surrounded by a bunch of blow-up dolls? Seriously, what were all the male journalists doing? Laughing, pointing and having a circle jerk?

Anyway, here are a few more thoughts:

  • Not only is Jenni Carlson a member of the Association for Women in Sports Media, but she’s also the president. Scary. This would be like Mr. Monday leading the North American Association of Anonymous Humor Columnists. The fact that Jenni rose to this rank simply proves my old theory that she is on a path to rule the world.
  • I wonder what Jenni would have said if the White Sox players were feeding the blow-up dolls Kentucky Fried Chicken. Or if there were rumors and rumblings that the dolls were going to transfer.
  • I’m pretty sure I know what Mike Gundy is going to send Jenni for her birthday.

(Thanks to our reader “OUredman” for pointing us to WithLeather for the “tip.”)

Hot Girl a Day in the Month of May: Dean Blevins

Yeah, we know. Technically, Dean Blevins is not a girl, but he’s probably banged plenty of hot girls. So if the logic of my 7th grade healthful living teach was right, the following statement would probably ring true:

If you had sex with Dean Blevins, you’ve had sex with a lot of hot girls.

Anyway, I’m not sure how that gets him on this list, but it’s worth noting. I’m also not sure what else you would get if you had sex with Dean Blevins, maybe Curtis Fitzpatrick knows.
