In Channel 9’s defense, they both have bowl cuts…

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Hello gentle readers.  Wait. That’s for later.

Apparently, the Republican candidates for the U.S. House District 5 run-off will answer questions on Channel 9 this morning.  I’ve already texted my question.  It is “Will u forgive the graphic designer who got your names mixed up on the promo graphic?”

In all honesty, this isn’t too big of a deal.  These guys are basically identical, so you can’t get mad at the graphic artist for screwing up.  Hell, the only difference between the candidates is that one has a red bowl cut and is a youth pastor, while the other guy has a blonde bowl cut and a rich brother.   Also, I think one of them may be a chronic masturbator, but I’m not sure which one, because they both kind of look like they could be chronic masturbators.   They both also look like they could get away with dressing up like Pilgrims for Thanksgiving.  Who doesn’t like a good Pilgrim?

Anyway, this isn’t the first time we’ve pointed out the graphical errors of the Channel 9 graphics department.   There was this time they forgot how percentages worked, and then this other time they called LeBron James a serial killer.

There was also this time that Dean Blevins urinated during a radio broadcast.  Granted, that has nothing to do with the Channel 9 graphics department, but if some weird pervert who urinated on live radio roamed the halls where I worked, I’d make a mistake every now and again, too.  In fact, that probably explains why I have so many typos in my posts.

Te Gusta la Patty Shaw!

Monday, August 16th, 2010

When I took Spanish I in high school, our weird Vietnamese teacher spoke four languages better than English and quit during the middle of a semester.  When she left, we had just finished studying the section on food translations.  When the new teacher arrived — I think her name was Mrs. Dunn — she thought we were just about to begin the food section.

As a result of this great moment in public education, about the only thing I remember from Spanish I are the names of foods.  My favorite was “La Mantequilla,” which is Spanish for “Butter.”  I just thought it was a cool-sounding word.  It didn’t sound like you were saying “Butter.”  It sounded like you were saying something eloquent and smooth, especially when you added “Te Gusta” (you like) in front of it.

This resulted in an odd fascination with phrase “Te Gusta La Mantequilla.”  It was my own substitute for the 1990’s staples “Shah, Right,” “As If” and “Regulators!!!!.”  My fascination with the word eventually got me in some trouble.  During a Spanish test that I didn’t study for, I wrote “Te Gusta la Mantequilla” (You like Butter) as my answer for every question.  This resulted in the teacher accusing me of insulting her, and me getting placed in in-school suspension.

Anyway, the reason that I bring all this up is because “Te Gusta la Mantequilla” is the first thing that popped in my head while I was thinking of headlines for this post about Patty Shaw, a former entertainment reporter for our local Telumundo affiliate KTUZ-TV30.

First of all, the original intention of this post was to introduce the OKC masses to Patty Shaw, but because somebody at Channel 30 made a huge mistake, Patty no longer works at the station.  This can actually be a good thing, because it now means that some other local channel can hire her.  Maybe even one that broadcasts in English!  That would be awesome.

Need proof?   Just check out her Twitter page.  Her user name is PattyMayonaze.   Mayonaze?  I don’t know what that means, but I like it.  She also sends us tweets like:

July 26, 2010: @TheLostOgle I think you are forgetting about the potential over at the Hispanic news station… just a thought ;)

Yeah.  Te Gusta la Mantequilla.

Anyway, I don’t know what Chanel 30 was thinking by letting Patty Shaw get away.  Unless you speak fluent Spanish or Randy Terrill hates you, girls like her are the only reason to watch Telumundo.  That and maybe some dude screaming “GOOOOOOAAL,” but that only happens once every four years.

Take that, Pink Bikini!!

Meet Lauren Nelson, the new co-host of Channel 9’s “First at Four” news show.

Yeah.  This is the same Lauren Nelson who won Miss America a few years ago, so I guess you can say Channel 9 has taken the lead in the local arms race to see which news channel can hire the hottest female news anchors.  I wonder how the other new channels will respond.  Will Channel 5 hire Jesse Jane to do the weather?  Will Channel 25 have Liz Dueweke and Lauren Richardson start each morning with a pillow feet?  Will Channel 4 just say “screw it” and only hire midgets?  Who knows?

Anyway, I think this all but confirms the “rumor” that Amy McRee is leaving KWTV in a few months.  Let’s just hope Lauren follows a McRee tradition and has big party with her friends at Lake Arcadia.  And lets just hope that the pictures from that party leak onto the internet.   And lets hope she ditches yellow for pink.  Pink is nice.

Is David Payne happy to see you?

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Yesterday, an Ogle Mole emailed us this picture of Channel 4 weatherman David Payne.   It was originally posted on Twitter by Channel 4 morning anchor Ali Meyer.  The tweet had something to do with David being on Twitter.

Yeah, I didn’t notice anything odd about the picture at first either, but then the Ogle Mole wrote:

Here’s my burning question of the day: is that a cell phone in his pants, or is he just happy to see her?

A few seconds after reading that, I threw up in my mouth.

Anyway, I guess we should help out our Ogle Mole and try to answer some questions.  Does David Payne have a cell phone awkwardly positioned in his pants?  Does this photo explain why Scott Hines is always following David around?  And what does Bob Barry Jr. think about all this?  Is he jealous?  Speculate away.

Is Lebron James a Captured Serial Killer?

Friday, July 9th, 2010

The image below is a screen shot from yesterday’s “First at Four” broadcast on KWTV News 9 in Oklahoma City.

Geeze, since when did having a massive ego and being a me-first narcissist suddenly make you a serial killer?  If that was the case, Dean Blevins would have been locked up years ago.

If this is true and LeBron James is a serial killer, I guess that caption is incorrect.  That’s because LeBron definitely wasn’t caught.  He was in Connecticut making a decision.  I know this because LeBron James made sure that I knew it.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Channel 9 just screwed up and put the wrong caption with the wrong story.  In fact, I would say there’s a 47% chance that’s what happened.

Guess the Location

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Who knows where this picture was taken.  My first thoughts were Land of the Dorks or a gay bar, but I doubt either one of those are correct.

Anyway, this picture was probably taken at the Dark Tower studios or something like that.  So instead of guessing the location, maybe we should guess where Berry Tramel buys his jeans.  If you get that answer correct and you can also figure out what Jenni Carlson is wearing, you’ll win some of Clark Matthews’ famous cup cakes.  We call them Little Clarkies.

10 things we want to see happen this summer…

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Until yesterday — when an Edmond man decided to masturbate rub a tick off his penis while parked in his car — June has been a pretty uneventful news month.  Sure, we’ve had conference realignment, political scandals and Ranger…err…Sky News 9 trying to rescue a girl from a flood, but all of that’s kind of boring.  So instead of spending boring time writing boring stuff about boring things, we decided to write about some of the things we’d like to write about that will hopefully happen this summer.

Anyway, that last sentence confused the hell out of me.  The first couple of things we’d like to see happen this summer are below, the rest are after the jump.

1. Joleen Chaney and four friends decided to spend a day at the lake.
It’s been too long since mysterious pictures of a local news chick donning a pink bikini first appeared on the Internet, and I’m now ready for new photos of a new anchorwoman  I nominate local news goddess Joleen Chaney to be front and center in these new pics.  We already know she looks good in pink, she has hot friends, and can pull off a bikini.  As a bonus, she can even get State Rep Joe Dorman to stand in the back of the photo and look at the ground.

-

2. Someone put the “Don’t Lay that Trash on Oklahoma” commercial on YouTube.
If Tall Paul, The Credit Jewelry Cowboy and Linda Soundtrack all have a home on YouTube, the greatest commercial jingle in our state’s history should have one, too.  Seriously, when I was in grade school we would sing this song while playing on the Big Toy.  The best part was at the end of the song when all of us kids would raise our hands in the air, give off an emphatic “Yeah!!!!!” and then slide down a poll.

Regular Jim Traber’s stats are now much more exciting…

Monday, June 14th, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, we asked our readers to help us write The Lost Ogle advertisement that appears on Regular Jim Traber’s stats page at Baseball-Reference.com.   The ad we chose with was submitted by “Spinlenox.”  Here it is:

Were you looking for the Cardboard Jim Traber, and ended up here on accident?  Click here to get the latest stats on Cardboard Jim Traber, as well scope at hot girls, funny articles, and other things this Jim Traber is unable to provide.

We chose this ad because it’s clever, promotes The Lost Ogle, and fits the Baseball-Reference.com guidelines.  I learned those are three hard things to accomplish.  For submitting it, Spinlenox wins a $50 Gift Card to Iguana Mexican Grill, which in my not-so-humble opinion serves some of the best Mexican food in OKC.  He also gets to know that Regular Jim Traber probably doesn’t like him anymore.  That’s a bonus!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who submitted a suggestion, and thanks to Iguana for providing the gift card.  Thanks to Regular Jim Traber, too.  If it wasn’t for your massive ego, terrible stats and obnoxious voice, none of this would have been possible.
