Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.1)

LOCATION: Owen Field at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium

The Sooners have just put the finishing touches on a 49-17 shellacking of Oklahoma State, a win that clinched the Big XII South Championship. The scene is one of great celebration. Sooner players perform choreographed handshakes and scream “Boomer” with their forefinger raised high. Former players, like Jason White, Jamelle Hollieway, and Brian Bosworth congratulate the triumphant team. Meanwhile the coaches huddle to discuss the game, loudly saying things like, “They were better when this was their bowl game”, or “Miles was a jerk, but at least they came to play back then” followed by derisive laughter.

In the background, a large man dressed in orange watches the proceedings with a sour look on his face. Continue reading ‘Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.1)’

Oklahoma Initiative Ideas: 10-1

Well, here are our last ten ideas for the Oklahoma Ideas Initiative. Overall, some of our ideas have been good, some have been bad, some have made no sense.  To see all of them, check out our 100 Ideas Category.

10. Three words: EMPEROR GARY ENGLAND.

This is probably the best idea on the list. If you doubt it, just check out Gary’s online resume over at NewsOK.com. There you will learn that Gary:

• Was named Best Television Personality by the Oklahoma Gazette in 2001

• Was named One of the Outstanding Young Men of America, 1976 by something called Jaycees

• Was featured on Spiegel TV News (German Television) in 1999

• Is an expert witness in lawsuits involving weather

• Appeared in Living Magazine in 1978

Geeze. If stuff like that doesn’t convince you that Lord Gary should be emperor of Oklahoma or Oklahoma City or even Warr Acres, then you are a sad sad person. Or you are just Mike Morgan.

What Are We Thankful For?

 

For those who have not heard, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.  One tradition at the Matthews household is that everyone at the dinner table must give a reason to be thankful before getting an turkey.  So, I thought I’d bring that tradition to TheLostOgle.  I’ll start:

Clark Matthews:  I am thankful , of course, for my loving wife and one year old son…but also, having Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe to provide me with material for articles.

Patrick Nelson is thankful amendments have been made to the Constitution of Oklahoma.

Tony Hanadarko says he is thankful for “his pet turtle“, but what he really gives thanks for is that he gets to walk on the same Earth as David Beckham.

Now, wasn’t that nice.  As successful as this exercise was, I thought I’d extend it to some of Oklahoma’s more famous citizens.  After the jump you will find out how some of your favorite Oklahomans answered this question:

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Continue reading ‘What Are We Thankful For?’

Justice League of Oklahoma (Part V)

 

Previously: The Justice League learned a machine that can control the weather had come under the hands of a rogue. Doug Sauter, Joe Burton, Val Castor, and Lauren Richardson saved Greer, Oklahoma. Lauren was chastised by Gary England for disobeying orders, wooed by Mike Morgan to leave the Justice League, and later defended Morgan when Gary accused him of being the rogue. It was revealed that Gary was the inventor of the machine. Gary confronted Morgan, but found him to be innocent and learned that Lauren had faith that Gary was not behind the weather abnormality. Meanwhile, the Storm Chaser lair was infiltrated by ninjas who were corralled by Wayne Coyne. Their identity was a shock. And now, the final chapter…

Justice League of Oklahoma (Part IV)

Previously: The League saved Greer, OK. Gary England chewed out Lauren Richardson for disobeying orders. Mike Morgan attempted to lure Richardson to the 4Warn team. Gary told Wayne Coyne he believed Morgan was behind the weather in Greer. Lauren defended Morgan. After she left, Gary revealed that he was unsure he could trust her with the knowledge that he invented the weather machine.

Previously: After saving the town of Greer from a cataclysmic weather event, Doug Sauter and Joe Burton were themselves saved by Lauren Richardson. Upon return, however, Lauren’s heroics were not appreciated by Gary England. As she left, Mike Morgan requested a meeting with her.

I HEART Amy McRee & I STORM Gary England T-Shirts

The Lost Ogle T-Shirts

So, I had this idea to make these t-shirts. Sometimes I wish I had better ideas like how to stop world hunger or even how to make Jack and Ron funny, but when you’re blessed with the abilty to design cool t-shirts that maybe you and 50 other people on the Internet may get, you just go with it.

Anyway, I put these designs up on Zazzle.com. You can check them out (and a couple of TheLostOgle.com logo shirts) at Zazzle.com/thelostogle. I chose Zazzle over CafePress because Zazzle offered American Apparel tee’s, which are the most comfortable t-shirts ever. Of course if you don’t care how the shirts feel, you can choose different and cheaper styles.

Also, if you need to be reminded of the inspiration for one of the shirts. Check out our favorite anchorwomen and her pink bikini after the jump.

Justice League of Oklahoma (Part II)

Previously: Gary England assembled the Justice League of Oklahoma to combat a plot to destroy Greer, OK during the Patriots/Cowboys football game.

———–

Location: Just outside of Greer, OK

Val spots Doug and Joe speeding toward him and collapses to the ground from exhaustion. When he catches his breath, he updates them on his efforts:

“I didn’t think you guys were ever going to get here.”

“We don’t have your super storm chaser speed,” retorts Coach Sauter.

“I can’t understand you through your mustache.”

Joe chimes in, “Where do we stand?”

“Well, there was some lowering and bit of a hook echo, so I’ve been running in circles creating counter-cyclonic activity in order to slow it down. I couldn’t have kept it up much longer. I’m going to let you guys do your thing now.”

Paying homage to Craig Humphreys and Mackie McNeer, Sauter and Burton yell out, “Let’s go!” Continue reading ‘Justice League of Oklahoma (Part II)’
