Ogle Madness II: Midwest Region, Upper Bracket!

First of all, instead of posting our Ogle Madness logo with every post, I thought it would be fun to show pictures of people celebrating Ogle Madness.  Today’s picture is of Taylor Griffin, Alex Brown and some former moderately average and/or bad former OU basketball players.  They love Ogle Madness, and are rooting for Blake to go all the way.  If you have a picture you would like to send us of you, your friends or random “celebrities” celebrating Ogle Madness, send them to us at thelostogle at gmail dot com. If you would like to send a t-shirt to Alex Brown, send it to the OU athletic office.

Anyway, today’s match-ups come from the top half of the Midwest Region.  They will be played at the Chisholm Trail Museum in Kingfisher.

• (1) Sam Bradford vs. (16) Elyse Downs
• (8) Dean Blevins vs. (9) Patrick
• (4) Mike Gundy vs. (13) Sally Kern
• (5) Berry Tramel vs. (12) Lee Symcox

Voting ends at midnight.  Vote after the jump.

Holiday Guide ‘08

Published by
Tony
 on January 3, 2008

Yesterday was January 2nd, which I personally believe is the best day of the year. It’s the official end of the holidays. No more presents to buy. No more decorations to hang. No more family and friends that I’m forced to pretend I like. Finally I can return to the life I’m used to living: wallowing in my own depression and self-loathing.

Also, it gives me a chance to plan out the holidays I’m going to celebrate during 2008. Contrary to popular belief, there are some holidays I actually enjoy. Mostly the ones that involve heavy drinking and some sort of idol worship. Anyway, here’s Tony’s Guide To The 2008 Holidays.

For me at least, 2007 has been a pretty crappy year. So for the last six months, I have been eagerly awaiting writing and posting the obligatory “best of” year-end news stories. Enjoy it after the jump…

Here Comes Santa Clark

Published by

 on December 21, 2007

It’s been a tough week for a CPA/blogger. A multitude of things has made it difficult for me to serve you, TheLostOgle.com reader. For one, year end is fast approaching which has created much work for me, meaning no downtime during the day to rattle off thousand word tomes about Tom Coburn investigating spending bills in search secret slush funds for recruiting lesbians in Southwest Oklahoma or a journal about me fighting holiday traffic. Second, it seems I have had a busy social life for the past couple of weeks. If I’m not out taking my kid to scream at Northpark Mall’s Santa Claus, I am actually being invited to Christmas parties…which is strange considering my behavior at parties is basically limited to standing against the wall and engaging anyone who comes across me in a debate about whether accrual or cash basis accounting is superior. (If you have to ask, the answer is accrual, you cretin.)

The last reason is that I have been contracted out by the Santa Claus to fill the stockings of Oklahoma’s finest citizens. Rather than waiting until Christmas morning to find out what is in store, I figured I would cut the suspense and let you know after the jump. Continue reading ‘Here Comes Santa Clark’

Oklahoma Initiative Ideas: 10-1

Published by
Patrick
 on November 26, 2007

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?

Published by

 on November 21, 2007

 

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?’
