Fun fact: Did you know that a douche bag can live for one week without its head? Seriously. The average douche bag has six brains throughout its body, so it can fully function after its head is removed. It just will eventually dehydrate and starve to death after about 5 -7 days.
Actually, I’m totally joking about that. If you cut the head off a Douche Bag, they will die instantly. So if you plan on doing that, I would recommend that you go to one of the five places after the jump.
When the schedule for the Oklahoma City To-Be-Announceds (but probably the Thunder) came out there were some bittersweet feelings for the old Hornets fans. Desmond Mason, who acted as the de facto face of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets while they played in a market whose fanbase struggled to name five players from the entire league but were intimately aware of him as a former Oklahoma State star, was coming to town for opening night as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. Not anymore.
Just as the Bucks traded Mason to the Hornets on the eve of their debut in Oklahoma City three years ago, the Bucks again have traded him to the TBAs on the eve of their debut in Oklahoma City. In a three team deal that also included the Cleveland Cavaliers, OKC picked up Mason and Joe Smith and parted with Luke Ridnour and Adrian Griffin. The deal is being characterized as a salary dump by the TBAs, but it will likely be much more.
Sure Desmond was known primarily for his fugly jumpshot and jawdropping dunks, but what he really brings to the team is tenacious defense and the willingness to make hustle plays (something many NBA players refuse to do). He also brings the steadiness of a veteran to a team loaded with young talent. The fact that he is a former Cowboy and an established fan favorite in this market fails to hurt, as well. And from a personal standpoint, I am happy that Desmond never had to play for Kelvin Sampson who is now an assistant coach for Milwaukee.
I tried to get Patrick’s input on today’s deal, but after I told him the news, I heard a bunch of screaming and profanity. Plus, it sounded like he was throwing things. I will take that to mean he, too, wishes Desmond luck.
This category hindered me, because I think it really only needs a couple of nominees. But I guess we have some weird tradition to have five nominees per category. What a hindrance, right? I kind of want to open it up to dead acts (like the guys above), but that would be boring. I guess I’ll go drink a beer from a toby in Keith, Nebraska.
Over a year ago, we suggested some story lines for Saving Grace that featured real Oklahomans. The folks at TNT kind of took our advice and cast a local celebrity (Barry Switzer) in last night’s episode. Switzer added to his already impressive acting resume by playing…himself. I have to say I am a little disappointed in Barry. I was able to forgive him for appearing in the worst sports movie of all time, but this is just unforgivable.
Anyway, in honor of Switzer’s great achievement in acting, we have put together another stellar list of potential local story lines for Saving Grace. Check them out after the jump.

Keeping with the spirit of the Worst of OKC, I give you the Worst Songs About Tulsa:
This band isn’t from Tulsa. I’m not sure if this song is about Tulsa. They’re from Madrid. Since the translation of “La Venganza de Tulsa” is “the revenge of Tulsa,” I’m going to assume it’s about a hooker that stabs her pimp.

See that picture? That’s the old logo for the defunct Oklahoma Coyotes Semi-Pro Roller Hockey Team. If I remember correctly, some dumb rich guy built a restaurant with a huge roller hockey rink called Billy Balloos (picture here and here) near NW Expressway and Rockwell in hopes of luring the franchise to play its home games there. Sadly, both the restaurant and hockey league failed miserably. Imagine that.
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because the Oklahoma City Coyotes may have been the worst ever organized sporting event to take place in Oklahoma City…worse than even the five sporting events listed after the jump.
When determining the quality of a news channel, I think the number one thing you should go by is the overall attractiveness of the anchorwomen and female reporters. Because if you have a hot chick reading or reporting the news, who really cares if it is good or not. After that, I would say the best news channels generally have the longest sports reports and employ gracious deities to control the weather.
Anyway, that’s how I would determine a “Best of” news channel. I have no clue how to judge a “Worst of.” Since that’s the case, I’m going to be totally lazy and just post some You Tube clips of our five nominees. Vote after the jump.
Honestly, I couldn’t find a good relevant picture of a road, so I figured it would be better to just post a moderately safe for work picture of Angelina Jolie. This is much better than Clark Matthews’ idea, which was to post a picture of Brent Skarky.
Anyway, read about and vote for the worst Metro area road after the jump.
