While picking up some dinner this evening, I heard the following phrases in commercials. If you can correctly match the scripted lines to the proper advertiser, expect a free copy of the Metro Buyer’s Guide in your mailbox:
1. Let us service your unit for you.
a. One of the massage parlors in the back of The Gazette
b. Elite Mechanical
2. I’ve walked through sewage.
a. Andrew Rice’s campaign
b. Promo for Sana Syed’s segment on Fox 25
To celebrate our one year anniversary, the Mayor of Oklahoma City agreed to participate in a special Q & A with The Lost Ogle. Before you ask the questions, here are our answers:
• Yes, the mayor of Oklahoma City agreed to do a brief Q and A with a website called The Lost Ogle.
• Yes. This is real!
• Yes, he says things like “Athiest Leaettner” and “every day is Amy McRee day.”
• Yes, that sound you heard was Mike McCarville having a heart attack.
• Yes, this probably cripples the mayor’s chances to be Senator Cornett.
Even though his answers are not as thorough or in-depth as Chris Callahan’s, this is the probably best interview in Lost Ogle history. Granted, we’ve only done two of them, but who really cares. Read it after the jump.
It’s hard to believe, since it feels like only seventeen years ao, but today The Lost Ogle turns one year old. It’s been an interesting year, as we’ve gone from humble beginnings being read by about six people per day to becoming a kinda sorta well known blog being written about in publications such as the Gazette and, well, the Gazette.
A year ago when we decided to try this project, we started by kicking around a few names. Among those considered:
GolfballsizeHail.com
DownedPowerlines.com
LookingforLynnHickey.com
WhatWouldLindaCavanaughDo.com
SorryAboutTobyKeith.com
OutWithTheGout.com
JamesHalesBurgerKing.com
In the end, much to James Hale’s relief, we ended up with TheLostOgle.com, and now it’s hard to imagine the site being known as anything else. We’ve been flattered to learn that the site is read in newsrooms, schoolrooms, and Justice League headquarters.
This is The Lost Ogle’s 400th post, and to date there have been over 5400 reader comments on our site. Roughly 3/4 of those have been dedicated to extolling the virtues of Gary England, but occasionally we also like to poke fun at the Mathis Brothers. That’s just the kind of hard-hitting journalism we know our readers look for.
As we enter our second year, we hope you’ll continue to stop by and help us enjoy the lighter side of Oklahoma City.
We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday than by posting the famous (infamous?) Lauren Richardson at Braum’s clip. It’s only been viewed over 7,000 times. Clark Matthews has viewed it over 5,000 times, and each time he is surprised when her cherry falls off. That crazy Clark Matthews. What a character.
