Merry 4th of July…

On holiday weekends the Internet becomes a ghost town, just like “Cheeseburger in Paradise” does on a Saturday Night when Dave Morris (on the right) is playing the keyboards. From a reader submitted email:

Sorry about the bad picture, but the place was empty and I didn’t want to seem to obvious. My girl and I went to Cheeseburger and Paradise a few weeks ago and Dave Morris was playing the keyboards. I know you give the guy a hard time, and now I see that he gets what he deserves. He and his buddy butchered a bunch of cover songs from bands like Tom Petty and Coldplay. I don’t think Dave sang anything, but trust me, the songs were terrible.

For a guy with a hot girlfriend/fiancee, Dave Morris is getting pretty good about making popular restaurants seem depressing as hell. First he and Angie made McNellie’s seem like a morgue, and now he and his sidekick are playing before a empty chairs at the once popular Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Seriously, if I was a restaurant owner and saw Dave Morris pull into the parking lot, I’d nail the door shut and hire Terri Watkins to pretend she was doing some sort of investigative report on food contamination. If that didn’t keep him out I’d bring out Craig Humphreys to read USA Today columns over the PA system. That would hopefully work.

Anyway, to all Lost Ogle readers, sorry about the Dave Morris overload, and have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend. And to all Dave Morris fans who are about to send me an email, you have a great weekend, too.

DnA is pretty boring…

I haven’t been there yet, but I’ve heard from several people that new McNellie’s Pub in Midtown is supposed to be pretty damn cool. Imagine then my surprise when I noticed that Dave and Angie decided to visit it as part of their boring DnA series. Take a look:

(WARNING: The video contains graphically boring content. You may fall face first into your cup of coffee if you’re not careful.)

Word of advice for the people at NewsOK.tv: when your five second intro featuring a double-helix is more interesting than the five minute video proceeding it, you may just want to tank the whole idea. Also, when choosing background music, try to avoid the stuff that is generally played at a drunk Scottish guys funeral, it’s kind of a buzz kill. Other than that, keep up the extraordinarily average work.

P.S.- I’d also like to add that I don’t think this DnA thing is working out to well. They are about as fun as cancer. You could give them secret 1990’s video footage of Van Shae Iven and the fat Bob Barry Jr. playing underwater freeze tag at a metro swimming pool and they’d find a way to make that seem boring and totally normal.

Do These Look Similar?

Every time I see those kick ass commercials with Dave Morris and Angie Bruss, I keep thinking that they remind me of something. The other day, I was finally remembered what it is.

The Lost Ogle would like to wish Dave and Angie all the best.

Happy Birthday, Dave!

So, according to a reader email, today is Dave Morris’ birthday. To celebrate the occasion, I’ve embedded a clip of (I think) Dave’s rockin’ band Falcon Five-O singing a song about Look at OKC. If you don’t blink, you’ll notice a quick clip of Dave keyboarding away about 18-seconds into it:


We’ve been pretty tough on Dave since we’ve discovered he’s a douche bag, has a big ego and doesn’t get scared in movies, so let us be the first of hopefully many to wish him a happy birthday. Overall, we bet Dave’s an okay guy and hopefully someday will help us get a nice table at Cafe Nova.

If you would like to join us in wishing Dave a happy birthday, please do so in the comments. Or better yet, send him an email at dmorris@opubco.com. Since it’s his birthday, don’t mention how weird and yucky it is that he had his band play a song about his employer. Save that for another day.

Clark Matthews presents…

Published by
Clark Matthews
 on February 22, 2008

This is a busy time of year for me.  My days consist of waking up well before dawn, going into work, coming home well after sundown, spending time with my child, then passing out so I can do the whole thing over the next day.  Sure, I would love to have time to churn out an installment The Justice League everyday, but until Emperor England is elevated to his rightful throne and adds two hours to the day, that just cannot happen.

To supplement my production, I got an idea.  While my son was emptying out the CD cabinet of our entertainment center so he could hear the jewel cases clatter against the ground, I noticed an album I had forgotten about long ago–Dr. Dre presents…The Aftermath.  Despite top billing, Dr. Dre really only performed on one song, the rest of the tracks were by artists Dre had recruited.  That’s when it hit me:  There have to be other like minded people out there who want to do what we at TheLostOgle do, at least on a guest basis.  Lost-LostOgles, if you will.

So I began recruiting people I knew to write an article for this series, and while a few showed interest, none have actually followed through.  Then one day I am sitting at home when the phone rings and a lady from the “Make A Wish Foundation” is on the line.  After eviscerating her for calling me during a Scrubs re-run, I let her make the pitch.  A sick child by the name of Little Timmy (before you ask, Little is his given name) had made a request that he be able to write for this website.  I figured, “Hey, I might as well give him a shot,” especially after the lady explained that Little was suffering from the awful stomach flu that has been going around and offering an autographed picture of Mike Turpin.

Anyway, after the jump you can see what Little Timmy submitted, and this is probably where I should request that you be kind in the comments section.  To me, that is, because I’m expecting a bunch of “might as well replace Clark with him” responses.  Enjoy.

What Dave Morris Will Look Like In 30 Years

I was flipping through a newspaper earlier and I saw this picture. My first thought wasn’t “Hey, look. It’s the greatest songwriter of all time.” The first thing I thought was “This is what Dave Morris will look like in 30 years.”

That is my life in a nutshell, folks. That is the horror story of my existence, thanks to this little blog.

10 BAD Local Valentine’s Day Date Ideas…

So, today is Valentine’s Day. Thank god I’ve come down with the flu. That means I now have the best excuse ever to not go out with the dozens of Lost Ogle groupies who were begging for me to be their Valentine. Instead I get to stay at home by myself and smear that weird anti-vomiting stuff on my wrists and just fall asleep.

Anyway, after that great visual, I’ll segue to the following email we received at The Lost Ogle mailbag:

I have a question that perhaps you are equipped to answer (or maybe Patrick’s perverted roommate can chime in). As you know, Valentine’s Day is approaching quickly. As a very romantic man myself, I have spent many hours measuring my options for wooing a lady on Valentine’s Day, and I have now encountered a conundrum that I can’t possibly resolve on my own.

For Valentine’s Day, we lucky Central Oklahomans have a choice between two entertainment legends: Tom Jones at the Riverwind Casino in Norman or Wayne Newton at Firelake Grand Casino in Shawnee. The question is: to which legendary performer’s show should one take his lady if one has high hopes of amorous relations with said very classy lady?

I know, it is an embarrassment of riches to be faced with such entertainment options right here in Oklahoma, but coinciding with the best chance of ass-gettin’ all year long makes it vital that we weigh our options with great care to arrive at the proper decision.

I humbly await your guidance.

A Very Romantic Okie

Honestly, the question was too tough for us to answer. I asked my perverted roommate for his input, but he grew up in Chickasha and can’t read or write too well. I even went to Lauren Richardson to get her opinion, but got this odd reply:

No, I will not go to Braum’s and then to an Indian Casino with you. Leave me alone.

Since we really can’t answer the Tom Jones/Wayne Newton question, we’ll just put it on our list of 10 bad local Valentine’s Day date ideas. Check out the other 9 after the jump:

Dave Morris is hitting this!?!

Published by

BAM!

A little over a month ago, we revealed to the world that Dave Morris–the NewsOK.com anchorman dude–has a big ego. Now I guess we know why. Apparently, the girl pictured above (and here and here and here) is his girlfriend. We know this because he has about 5,000 pictures of her on his MySpace Page. I guess I can’t blame him. If this chick was my girlfriend I’d probably have a shrine dedicated to her somewhere in my basement or attic. Or at least in a small Kenny’s Shoes box in my hall closet. I’d also remove the red eye from her photographs.

Anyway, after seeing this chick, I think we can say that Dave Morris has skyrocketed past Brent Skarky as the biggest douche bag in the Oklahoma City media. Hell…just look at everything Dave’s accomplished. He’s:

1: Scored a hot chick who is way out of his league
2: Demanded to be 2-letters in a Scrabble group costume
3: Posted these “I am too cool” pictures on his MySpace Page:

and,

4: Plays the keyboard in an “alternative” band called…eh…”Falcon Five-O.”

Seriously, I think Dave should quit his job and become one of those “I did it and so can YOU!” motivational speakers who places tiny classified ads in newspapers and teaches douche bag success seminars for only $50. I know I’d sign up. Hell, he’s already motivated Tony, Clark, my perverted roommate and I to start an alternative rock band called “Powerlines Down.” However, we do need a bass player and gentner operator. Contact us if you are interested.

(p.s.-Sorry if this sucks for my 100th post. Hopefully, we’ll have more Lauren soon.)

UPDATE: Dave has decided to make his MySpace Page private.  What a douche bag.
