While picking up some dinner this evening, I heard the following phrases in commercials. If you can correctly match the scripted lines to the proper advertiser, expect a free copy of the Metro Buyer’s Guide in your mailbox:
1. Let us service your unit for you.
a. One of the massage parlors in the back of The Gazette
b. Elite Mechanical
2. I’ve walked through sewage.
a. Andrew Rice’s campaign
b. Promo for Sana Syed’s segment on Fox 25
We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday than by posting the famous (infamous?) Lauren Richardson at Braum’s clip. It’s only been viewed over 7,000 times. Clark Matthews has viewed it over 5,000 times, and each time he is surprised when her cherry falls off. That crazy Clark Matthews. What a character.
A few months ago, we at The Lost Ogle threw around some potential name ideas for the hopefully soon to be here NBA team. It started off fun, but now hearing someone give their “2-cents” on the name of our future NBA franchise is torture. Seriously, I’d rather listen to Danny Williams spit out tongue twisters for an hour or watch Jenni Carlson and Gan Matthews reenact the pottery scene from Ghost before I’d choose to listen to some caller on the Sports Animal spend five minutes talking about how cool it would be if the team was named the “Barons.” Hell, the Oklahoman even started a cheesy Ogle March Madness style tournament to pick out the name. If they are doing it, the topic has to be lame.
Anyway, to help get everyone off the “Name that NBA Team” kick, we figured it would be nice to throw out a new topic:
Come Up with a mascot for Oklahoma City Community College
In all reality, this is probably more important than naming the NBA team, because at least the Sonics are…well…the Sonics. Oklahoma City Community College doesn’t have a mascot. I just has a few nicknames like “Harvard on May,” “O-Triple-C” or O-C-Cubed.” That’s really unfair to alumni like (gulp) myself who don’t want to say we went to Oklahoma City Community College, and would rather say we went to the “Home of the BLANKS.”
Find out 10 potential BLANKS after the jump.

So much for keeping the government out of our lives, huh?
The current issue of the Gazette features an article on one of the newest bills passed by the Oklahoma legislature. Here’s a quick, eloquent summary of the bill from the Gazette:
Beginning in November, any women that seeks an abortion will likely be required by law to have an electric wand inserted into her vagina before the doctor is allowed to perform the operation.
You may surprised to know that we here at The Lost Ogle are 100% in favor of this bizarre, outdated draconiion law. In fact, we are in favor of all the weirdo bills that our wacko state legislature keeps on trying to push through. We kind of hope that if they keep becoming laws, people will quit stereotyping us as a bunch of in-bred hillbilly rednecks living in trailers and instead think we’re a bunch of 17th century Puritans conducting weekly witch hunts and throwing out word like “Thou” , “Chaste” and “Weathercock.” And why do we hope that? Because Puritans kick ass.
Anyway, because we are proactive, we came up with a few other crazy laws that our legislature should consider. Check them out after the jump:
Over at OKCcentral.com, Steve Lackeymeyer has some interesting stuff regarding the fallout from Oklahoma City being named one of the Top 10 Hells on Earth. Originally, the article was posted on both AskMen and AOL Travel (the later being where we originally found the story). Once our mayor, local media and the web community found out about the story, AOL pulled Oklahoma City off the list pretty quick.
Here’s some of what they said:
Thank you for your phone call regarding the content provided to us through askmen.com. Our AOL editorial team looked at the material and were unanimous in their agreement that inclusion of Oklahoma City in that kind of negative list was wholly unfair and poor quality journalism. We have since edited/modified the list online and plan to monitor our content relationship with askmen.com in a more careful manner.
AskMen.com, however, hasn’t changed or edited the story. In a way, I kind of like that. Sometimes we write some stuff that people complain about or want edited (like our “where they live” series) and sometimes we cave. So…although I think the inclusion of Oklahoma City as one of the Top 10 Hells on Earth along with places like Chernobyl, Baghdad, and Yaktusk is stupid, I congratulate the editors for sticking to their guns and not removing or editing the story.
That being said, I would encourage them to get rid of the writer of the story, Nick Clarke, as their “Travel Specialist.” And I’m not encouraging this because he’s a bad writer, but simply because he looks like a absolutely privileged tool. If visiting his website, reading his bio and looking up his MySpace Page doesn’t convince you, remember that the guy is a 23-year-old freelance writer who lives in Marbella, Spain, which really doesn’t look like that bad (or cheap) of a place to live. He probably just has some rich parents who own some Marmalade factory in England who support him and his lifestyle, or maybe he’s a traveling male prostitute, which maybe explains why he knows so much about the top hells on Earth. Who knows. Regardless, screw him.
This weekend, we will be upgrading to a new version of WordPress and also playing with a cosmetic redesign. So, if you’re totally freaking out right now, don’t worry and don’t panic. Everything will be fine. However, if you see a manifesto from Brent Skarky, do panic and do contact Gary England immediately. If something else is wrong, leave a comment or send us an email.
It seems real life has precluded any of us from making a post today. So use this thread to talk about whatever you want. Some suggestions:
1. The Sonics approval to move to Oklahoma City
2. The destruction of the University of Oklahoma as we know it, which will apparently take place on Monday
3. Suggestions for what you want to see on this site once Ogle Madness is finished.
Have a good weekend.
This picture has been posted on The Lost Ogle before. It was hidden in our list of ideas for the Oklahoma Ideas Initiative. Any idea where this beautiful parking lot is located? First person to correctly place the location wins a free copy of next weeks Gazette.
