Saturday Morning 1990’s Music Video (22)

Saturday, January 31st, 2009
Sometimes when I watch these videos, it makes me want to hop in a time machine back to the early 90’s and buy a flannel shirt, pogs and a Big Johnson t-shirt from Gadzooks.  But not this one by Possum Dixon.  It makes the 90’s look a little too happy.  It looks like the 1990’s that Brent Skarky probably lived in, which is a scary scary place.
Anyway, I’m also dedicating this song to both The Pioneer Woman and Thunder Girl Sheraka.   I’m dedicating it to them because they thought they could destroy me, but they didn’t.  Take that!

Lost Ogle Mailbag (5)

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Although it takes way too long to write, I think the mailbag is becoming one of my favorite things to post here at The Lost Ogle.  For those who are new, this is what it is:

The Lost Ogle Mailbag is an underutilized feature where we respond to real, kind of real and totally fabricated emails that we receive.  If you have a question or comment that you would like us to address, email us at The Lost Ogle at gmail.com.  The subject line should read “You guys are awesome.”

This week we discuss Dean Blevins, Alex Cameron, Jenni Carlson, Memorial Rd., Drowning Illusionists and more.  Check it out.

Friday Night in the Big Town – Jan. 30-Feb. 1

Friday, January 30th, 2009

okc2

Get your red pens out: This is the intro. It’s the intro because it introduces the rest of the post. Over the past week I’ve been inundated with emails, phone calls, texts, picture messages, letters, telegrams, sing-o-grams, and one unnecessary punch-o-gram, to gently remind me that every now and then, the posts tend to run away from the lessons we were taught in 6th grade English class. Someone even paid a skywriter to fly over my home and write “Chad smells like a parenthetical reference to an overly-obvious juxtaposition!!!”, which may have been pricey but once again made no sense, and exhibited bad punctuation. That kind of thing is fine for a blog post, which is by nature very colloquial and conversational, but not for professional sky-dissing. Dumbass. This is the final sentence of the introduction.

For Sale: Secret Military Secrets

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Yeah, we’ve got some emails about this video, and I just have one question:  What is a guy from New Zealand doing shopping at a thrift store in Oklahoma City?

Seriously, the guy is from New Zealand!  That’s where they filmed freakin’ Lord of the Rings and where young virgin models go to play with butterflies and eat fresh kiwi.  Why he ever left there is beyond me…unless of course he is a spy or writing a book about famous Ogles.

The 50 Most Powerful Oklahomans (40-31)

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

With each installment of this countdown we are going to post a picture from Clark Matthews’ Trapper Keep Collection.  We believe this one to be from 7th grade.

Anyway, the first couple of people on this week’s countdown are found below, the rest are after the jump.  Enjoy.

40. Dave Bialis, CEO, Cox Oklahoma

Dave didn’t make the list because he’s in charge of the local communications behemoth Cox, whose specialty seems to be overpriced products, long hold times and crummy customer service.  No…he’s up here because of the power he held as the host of his hard hitting talk show “Generally Speaking with Dave Bialis.”  Sure, the show doesn’t seem to even be on the air anymore, but if you want to strike fear in a local celebrity’s heart, tell them Bialis and his tiny eyes are looking for them.

39. Vince Orza, Businessman & Academic Collegian

Vince Orza is the Dean of the Meinders School of Business at Oklahoma City University.  How did he get this job??? Simple, by opening up a chain of  stale casual dining  restaurants – restaurants whose signature dish consisted of a brown paper tablecloth and crayons — and making millions at it.   He also ran for governor a couple of times and likes to jump between political parties.

Glenn Coffee has Herpes…

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

The image above is of Glenn Coffee.  Glenn is the President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma Senate.  After seeing this picture of him on the Oklahoma News Report, I’m now fully expecting “Herpes Reform” to be on the 2009 legislative agenda.

Granted, we should note that Glenn has the common Herpes Simplex Virus I, and not the really bad Herpes Simplex Virus II, but who really cares.  It makes for a great headline, and it proves that someone does watch the OETA News Report.  Angela Rosecrans would be proud.

Tulsa Tuesday – Tulsa’s Happiest Man

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Tulsa teenage boys with pent-up sexual frustration have lost their biggest self-service pumping material.  Kristen Glover is engaged.  This shocked me because I thought Kristen was Jim’s trophy wife, a radically younger Paulette (1-800-2SellHomes).

Her fiancé, damn him, is Wesley William Galyean of Ardmore.  He rides horses or something.  I rode a horse once and saw no one that resembled Kristen Glover, but plenty of female truck drivers.

I sense an arranged marriage because it would take a special man to win the heart of Jim Glover.  Based on information I’ve made up from sources that don’t exist, the special man that would have to endure:

10.  Holiday Family Showers.

9.  Potato Sack Races.

8.  Saturday Night Reenactments of Annie.

7.  Rainbows and Unicorns.

6.  Holding a frightened Kristen after Jim reads Where The Wild Things Are to her in bed.

5.  Father-Daughter Duet Karaoke Night.

4.  DNA tests on Maury Povich.

3.  Coloring with Kristen.

2.  Hannah Montana:  The Movie.

1.  Hearing “My dad would do it!” during every argument.

I could throw in a lingerie or naked twister joked to make Patrick giggle, but I don’t want to risk creating humor.

P.S.  For more non-humor, check out my Meat Skittles or these QT Brownie Bites.

State of Emergency Winter Blast Ice Storm 2009

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Well, it looks like we are in the middle of another ice storm.  If the sheet of ice on your porch steps or the overturned trucks on the highway didn’t clue you in to this, don’t be alarmed, our local media will do everything possible to over hype this and sensationalize this event.  Things like:

• Sending every assignment reporter available to a bridge or overpass to provide live coverage of this “once in a lifetime” weather event.  Am I the only one hoping that one of them slips and falls?

• Having an anchor go to an Ace Hardware to report that they are out of generators and ice melt.

• Allowing anybody or anything to submit a “weather related closing” to the scrolling ticker thing at the bottom of the screen.  Seriously, this little thing has gotten way out of hand.  Our local networks need to come together and institute some universal standards for it immediately.  With the advent of the “internet” and “telephone,” it’s not really needed.  Plus, other than Clark Matthews, who really needs to know that Dean’s School of Dance is closed or that the classes are canceled at Dragon Kim’s Tae Kwon Do.

What makes the hype so frustrating, is that I kind of like these ice storms.  That is unless I lose power for three days and my neighbor’s tree slams through my fence. Hell, even with the damage I’d take them over severe weather.  When has a severe thunderstorm ever caused your work to send you home early to play online poker and watch icicles form on Gan Matthews beard???  When was the last time that a steady stream of rain guaranteed that you could come into work late the next day and maybe even get away with wearing jeans and a hat???  My guess would be never.

Hell, if our news channels were smart they would get their reporters off the highway overpasses and into the homes of people like you and me.  You know, the people who are enjoying and abusing the overreaction to all the hype that they created.  You know, the smart ones.

Anyway, when you get drunk tonight because you don’t have to be at work until 10:00am tomorrow, take a little sip for me.  Also, say a litte prayer to Gary England.  Maybe he’ll make sure that it’s nice and pretty for the Super Bowl party this Sunday.
