We’re getting a late start this morning, but we have good reason. You see, I’m currently at the hospital awaiting the arrival of Clark, JrJr. Patrick apparently started celebrating his arrival early because he sent me an email at 2:30 asking me to finish off this post and get it online. Don’t ever let me hear you say I’m not dedicated to you readers. Before Mrs. Matthews kills me, I’m going to throw it to the voting.

This news segment happened a few weeks ago, but I haven’t got around to posting it. It involves Scott Hines and a hillbilly who talks like Larry the Cable Guy:
Uhm…here’s a little tip to hillbilly red neck tree trimmers. The next time Scott Hines comes out to investigate your shady business, do not threaten to “fix” or “shove cameras” in his ass. He’s probably heard that before, and you’re not going to intimidate him.
Also, I wish Scott Hines would have dressed up like J’ordy and met the hillbilly scammer. That would have been good TV.

Last September, KFOR came up with a crazy idea called Blogilicious. Essentially, it was a blogging community where KFOR personalities and viewers could interact. Here’s what I wrote when they first released it:
Want to learn about Bob Barry Jr.’s fascination with peanut butter, check out blogilicious. Want to know about aliens abducting Kevin Ogle’s wife, check out Blogalicious. Want to learn about Linda Cavanaugh’s favorite cuss words, don’t check out blogilicious…
Anyway, I’m not too sure about Blogilicious. It’s just weird. So far, the only valuable thing I’ve learned from the site is that Joleen Chaney enjoys taking candid photos of Bobbie Miller. That makes me think that the people at Channel 4 are just now f*cking with us. Seriously, next week they’ll probably have Bobbie and Joleen sample new bubble bath fragrances inside an abandoned Italian villa, but then cut to a commercial right after they light some candles and get in the tub and decide to play a casual game of truth or dare.
Well, I guess I was right. It looks like Channel 4 really was just f*cking with us!
I say that because it’s the nicest way to explain why this odd web experiment has failed. When Blogilicious was first launched, you would have thought that KFOR had just invented ice cream. Everything was blogilicious blogilicious blogilicious. They heavily promoted it, the anchors were using it, and then, well, nothing.
Now if you now visit the site, you’ll discover it’s a ghost town. Chellie Mills did write a post a few weeks ago, but other than that, it’s a dated collection of Carson Cunningham Week 2 college football power rankings and KFOR viewers letting us know that the town of Snyder was without water. I think Abandoned OK has Blogilicious on its list of places to visit.
Anyway, it’s a shame that KFOR had to go through all this trouble just to mess with us. Maybe next time they’ll try a simpler approach. You know, like pretend that Joleen Chaney and Bobbie Miller want to interview us or something while wearing pink bikinis. That would be cool.
I was flipping through the premium channels on Cox digital cable the other day totally not looking for porn when I stumbled on the above, which is a photo of the fact that there are two (two!) different channels dedicated to nothing but Bob Mills Furniture (Bob Mills Furniture!). I find this to be, well, pretty strange (exclamation in parentheses!). Also, anyone notice that he’s gone back to wearing the sweaters?
Anyway, this got me wondering which other local celebrities deserve their own channels or, at least, their own television shows. After the jump, some ideas:
(Editor’s Note: Yep, this is a Tony (Tony!) post. I think he used to write for this site…a lot.)

The pics above were emailed to us through the Ogle Mole Network. Here’s what the Mole wrote:
Continue reading ‘Is Lance West a punk who likes to take it in the a–?’
Who she is: Linda Cavanaugh
What she does: 10pm News anchor for KFOR Channel 4
Why Approve:
One time, an Ogle Mole at Channel 9 asked me why we never write about Linda Cavanaugh. This was my answer:
“Other than being an Oklahoma City institution, Linda’s never really done anything to warrant our coverage. She doesn’t have a nightly opinion piece. She doesn’t tell us that a tornado is about to destroy our house. She doesn’t have an annoying Sports Talk show. In fact, she’s a very classy, professional and nice person.”
Okay. Although that’s kind of true, that’s not the real reason. The real reason why we leave Linda Cavanaugh alone is that in 1988 she gave me a certificate for reading 80 books during a March of Dimes Read-A-Thon. For some reason, I think Linda may have known that most of the books I read were of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” variety, and that once I flipped to page 63 and learned that the time machine was broken and that I was forever stuck in the Old West, that I marked that book down and counted it as being read.
Anyway, Linda Cavanaugh didn’t rat on me. For that, I will always be loyal.
Why Disapprove:
With Linda Cavanaugh having what seems to be a lifetime contract at KFOR, we don’t get to see enough Joleen Chaney. We need more Joleen Chaney.
Also, we’ve learned through the Ogle Mole Network that she gives away crummy Halloween candy. Who would have known!
Last Week’s Result:
Well, Lost Ogle readers are split when it comes down to Paul Folger. He came away with a 50% approval rating. That’s ghey with an H.
Vote after the jump!

Tuesday night, on the 10:00PM newscast from KFOR News Channel 4 (AKA The Other Station With Ogles), News Channel 4’s News Channel 4 News Team’s Meg Alexander kept us 4warned about the un4seen threat to the fiscal future of the state of Oklahoma:
Free coffee 4 state legislators.
Yep, it seems that the House and Senate, together, spend about $40,000 a year 4 coffee 4 members, staff, and people passing through the capitol. It is almost surprising that anyone from 2300 Lincoln has to make their way down to Java Dave’s.
That, evidently is 2 much 4 Channel 4, but their coverage (or at least the production values) were 2 good 2 B true.
But, there is some coffee confusion at Channel 4. Or, at least, some Coffee confusion, more specifically trying to identify who, exactly, is Glenn Coffee. 4 anyone who doesn’t know, Senator Coffee (who is not related to Mr. Coffee, Joe DiMaggio) is the state senator from Bethany who is also presiding officer of the State Senate and a couple of heartbeats away from the governor’s chair.
Well, seems like the production team had a little trouble honing in on Glenn Coffee in Meg’s report. First, they said this guy was Glenn Coffee:

Sometimes it’s hard to make light of tragedies. But sometimes “tragedy” can be a bit of a misnomer. This weekend we were treated to the heartwarming (you’ll get that one in a minute) story of a man who simply loved too hard. The story on KFOR’s site doesn’t have many details, but here they are, with some paraphrasing: A man went to 7-11, where the woman he loved works. Once he got to the parking lot, he called the store from his cell phone and asked them to “look in the parking lot”. Once their attention was on him, the man proceeded to douse himself with two gallons of gasoline, and set himself on fire. All in the name of love. Damn, dude.
