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.
Happy birthday, boys
Sigh Seems like only yesterday you were triplets, separated at birth, and breast fed on goats milk. Congrats!
I’ve decided that you need to start having meetings to determine what to do with your second year - people can send in ideas and you can select the top 100 of them for publication in a book and then never take any action on them. It’ll be great!
Ooh! You can also forget to pay your taxes as well . . . sah-weet!
Ahh, I remember like it was yesterday that I found out about the Lost Ogle. Wait, it was yesterday, and after lengthy scouring of the archives, I have determined the editors are jackasses, no, wait, scratch that, sarcastic jackasses. I like that. I like it a lot. Here’s to many more years of the Lost Ogle, I wish I had thought of this. I got a lot of bile to spew.
You guys deserve all of the massive amounts of money you are no doubt making with this wonderful site. Happy Birthday.
This calls for a “1 idea for the next 1 year” initiative.
Lance Cargil can do the website.
Happy Birthday! I’m slowly getting used to the new site design, but I sure miss the brunette who used to hawk the Gary England t-shirts. Could you bring her back? Only this time she could be wearing the Amy McRee shirt? That would be hot.
Congrats Guys, Gals, whatever.
(I think it would be funnier than hell if we found out Patrick, Tony, and Clark were actually women. It would also be a little disturbing.)
Now that y’alls is a year old and about to be full-blown “Big League”, maybe you can afford to outsource some proofreading duties? Yeah, I didn’t think so…
you guys make good blogging look easy. or you look good while blogging. or blogging is easy. or you guys are just easy. i’m not sure which.
WWLCD!
Conratulations guys!
And damn, that cake looks good! I’m hungry!
Happy Birthday from Greer County.
Dean Blevins says it’s 60/40 that you make it to your second year.
happy birthday, jerks (especially tone, toni, tony)
Happy birthday, hopefully the continued success of this site will ease your jealousy over the smashing success of WIMGO and OKLATRAVELNET. By next year you will be corrupting Oklahoma more then the gays are.
