In case you forgot, back in early May the Oklahoma Gazette decided to do a big feature article on the website that you are currently reading. In our little dot-com world, that was kind of a big deal. Hell, it was such a big deal that even Mike McCarville took notice.
Now…after a little wait…we have finally gotten our hands on an official PDF. Granted, we had to place some escort service ads in the back of the Gazette to score it, but it was well worth the trouble. For one, I had no clue Clark Matthews gave such good massages, and two, it was great to finally meet Brent Skarky in person.
Anyway, to avoid lawsuits and stuff, we have to tell you the following legal stuff.
1. The article can only be republished on The Lost Ogle; (I guess this means you can’t steal it and post it on your blog.)
2. The article cannot be altered in any manner; (That means we can’t add any fake quotes from Clark Matthews, who despite being interviewed, was not quoted.)
3. A link to our Web site, www.okgazette.com, must accompany the article; (You can also check out the Gazette’s blog -OKGWidget- which is updated on a monthly basis.)
4. An acknowledgment of the name of the paper and the author of the article must accompany the article, and the following text must be added: “Copyrighted by Gazette, Media, Inc. Republished with permission”. (The article was written by a guy named Rod Lott. We are pretty sure that Rod does drugs.)
So click this link, read it and…uh…enjoy. Tony and I have some pretty amazing quotes in it, plus it’s ad free. For a $1,000 donation to the Lost Ogle Fund, you can even get an autographed copy of the article FedEx’ed to you. And if you order now, you can get a massage from Clark Matthews thrown in for free.
Gee, a massage from Clark. Count me all giddy with anticipation almost like looking forward to a poke in the eye, with a stick, a sharp pointy stick that is on fire.
wow
What happened to the hot guy a day?
Did you really get that distracted with the bull semen?
sounds like the Gazette wants to remain anonymous.
What kind of idiots would pass up the free publicity on the Internet.
Actually, I was quoted. “Said Tony, ‘I didn’t know what he was talking about.’” That was me. Apparently, me and Tony sound just alike on Rod’s tape recorder.
when you read the story, did you cry out “that’s not news!”?
i think the story basically reduces you to a fly-over-country version of perez hilton or something.
Wow, what a coup, being a former and married to a former local “newsie” I’m glad you guys weren’t around when we were… but as a recent “viewer” (thanks to a post about mascots). It is not only nice, but proper to see a few jabs at the “locals”. It is an interesting business and one that shouldn’t be taken too seriously… and I appreciate anyone who keeps that in check.
I would say if your identities were available 24/7 you wouldn’t be as “nice”… gosh I love quotes.
The irony about Rod doing this article is that when he was in college writing for the OU paper, his schtick was stalking Jenifer Reynolds.
I found your blog on Blog Oklahoma and love the lighthearted satire and variety.
Jenni C’s only checked out TLO a couple of times? I’m thinking more like a couple of thousand times.
Rod Lott, best porn name EVER!!!
You guys may be the best blog on the internet. Keep it up!
