The Lost Ogle Mailbag

Last night Patrick and I went out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at a local drinking establishment. Because we are super-cool people, we told everyone that we saw that we are bloggers, and that they should totally read our awesome blog. Most people rolled their eyes, threw glasses of beer in our face, or just started throwing punches, but one person did seem somewhat interested.

The conversation went like this:

Her: “So what are you writing about tomorrow?”
Us: “…”

We didn’t have anything. Not having things to write about is generally not a good way to build up an audience. It is also not a good way to impress girls. Fortunately, we had a few old e-mails that we hadn’t been able to respond to yet, so today we’re emptying the old Ogle Mailbag.

You may not have known it, but TheLostOgle.com has an email address.  Since we don’t have time to respond to the large volume of email we receive, we like to share some of the better ones in this feature that we call The Lost Ogle mailbag.

Do you have any plans for other drinking games?
John R., Edmond

Not currently. We have considered the KREF drinking game, but figured no one would read it. Clark had a good idea that involved playing strip poker with Jessica Schambach, but it ended up being just an idea, and not a drinking game, although it did involve alcohol.

I loved the wall-to-wall coverage you all provided of “Saving Grace.” What happened to it?
Ham D., Oklahoma City

It looks like the build up to ‘Saving Grace’ was a whole lot better than the actual show. I lost all interest when Grace and her partner had sex and hunted deer with handguns at the Martin Park Nature Center, and afterwards, tied a dead deer to the hood of their bronco.

What is on Audra’s shirt in that picture you posted of the Morning Animals? Does she leak? I have to know!
Dean B., Edmond

I’m not sure what that is, but thanks for pointing it out. This proves that you need to be really careful when you wear all white and work next to Mike Steely.

Which Ogle brother owns this blog?
Jim T., Norman

The lost one, obviously. Actually, the original idea for the site was GoOgle.com. As you can see, it was taken.

Did you just steal that from theinnerwebs.com?
Tony A., Oklahoma City

Maybe.

Who do you think is better looking? Curtis Fitzpatrick or Van Shea Ivan?
Bikerfox, Tulsa

I’m probably not the best person to ask.  Maybe we can get some feedback from one of our three many female readers or Bob Barry Jr.

Is Ross Dixon alive? Or does the Oklahoma News Report just recycle old footage of him for every newscast.
Gary E., Seiling

According to the OETA website, Ross was born in Muskogee in 1942. They didn’t mention a death or anything, so I assume he’s living. Also, kudos to you (and the 18 other people in this state) who watch the Oklahoma News Report.

Where can I get kid’s toys welded for free?
Clark M., The Village

I have no clue. Try a muffler shop.

You may not have known it, but TheLostOgle.com has an email address. It’s something like thelostogle at gmail.com. Since we don’t have time to respond to the large volume of email we receive, I figured I would share some of the better ones here.

Does Dean Blevins have herpes?
Linda C., Oklahoma City

We are not 100% sure. There is a 60% chance that Dean has some sort of STD, and an 80% chance that it is herpes. Of course fever blisters count as herpes, but 75% of the population consider those as good herpes. I would say there is a 95% chance that Dean gets fever blisters.

Is The Lost Ogle endorsed by any member of the prestigious Ogle family? If so, they should have told me.
Kent O., Edmond

Not yet. When Kelly finally reads one of our absurd emails on “Your Two Cents”, we will consider that an endorsement. However, if you count our MySpace friends as a ringing endorsement, we are endorsed by Lump, Carey Murdock, Tony Sellars, three attractive girls, numerous bars, a couple of bands and the mayor’s son.

Will Mathis Brothers finally get a Starbucks?
Jeremy R., Moore

Calls to Mathis Brothers have not been returned, but sources confirm that the furniture palace’s Starbucks rip-off has “exceeded expectations.”

I’m enjoying the abundance of sports radio in Oklahoma City. Any chance that the guys at TheLostOgle.com can get their own sports talk show?
James H., Norman

Possibly. According to a story in Oklahoma Weekly, civic leaders are considering a “grand experiment” to turn the Oklahoma City weather radio band into 24/7 local sports talk. If this works out, we have already been contacted about hosting “Sports All Night” a midnight to 5am sports show.

Why is Reno not called First Street?
Clark M., The Village

Good Question, Clark. I think the better question is why The Village is called The Village.

Who still eats at the Spaghetti Warehouse? Why is this place open?
Mia L., Oklahoma City

I’m glad you asked this question. The ‘success’ of the Spaghetti Warehouse, Bricktown Brewery and even Crab Town is critical if we want to cement our status as a true major league city. All major cities have those average restaurants that are solely supported by out-of-towners and tourists, and those are ours.

Have Jude and Jody’s sons ruined the family’s business?
Larry E., Oklahoma City

I think so. I haven’t seen a Judy and Jody commercial in years. I bet the son’s really didn’t love folks. That has probably hurt business.

Is there a God?
Aubrey M., Nichols Hills

Yes. And his name is Gary England.
