Tony
Tony was one of the three founding writers of The Lost Ogle. In June 2008, he decided to take a (hopefully brief) hiatus from the world of blogging.
Tony was raised by Linda Soundtrak, the McCain brothers, and the BC Clark jingle. He misses the good old days, when Mayor Mick was a television sportscaster wearing a toupee and Molly Murphy’s was still around. His personal heroes are Mitch Jelniker, Jason Skurcenski, and Robo-Niner.
His lifelong goal is to see an MLS team arrive in Oklahoma City, though if pushed he’ll relent and accept an NBA team.
Jerry (Irritated Tulsan)
Jerry was born, raised and lives in Tulsa. He writes The Lost Ogle’s “Tulsa Tuesday” column.
Jerry is a TV addict and suffers from self-diagnosed Tourette Syndrome. He has trouble letting things go and is still upset over the cancellation of “Arrested Development,” Bell’s Amusement Park’s eviction and his mother forcing him to see the stupid “The Secret of Nihm” movie at the drive-in.
If he does not have his daily dose of sugar and caffeine, he believes the world will end.
In his spare time Jerry feeds the homeless, rescues lost strays and sings to the elderly.
He is a big believer in karma and tries to make up for his lack of ability to edit himself. His current dream is to successfully grow chest hair with Rogaine.
Sarah
Sarah grew up in a small town about 30 minutes outside of OKC. With the exception of a brief disastrous stint in Texas, she has lived in OKC since 2000.
Sarah likes baseball, getting on her political and ideological high horse, beer, OU football, flip flops, pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain. She dislikes the Yankees, people driving slowly in the left lane, and fruity frozen alcoholic beverages.
Sam
Sam is a lifelong metro-area resident. In his youth, he maintained a great reverence for Gary England’s wrath, envy of Howard Schnellenberger’s bartenders, and obsession with local sports.
With irrational hatred for Texas, Tulsa, and other five letter T-words, Sam hopes to someday see Oklahoma City continue to grow into not only the most resilient city in the United States, but also her greatest city.
Wendy
Wendy was born and raised in the boondocks of southern Oklahoma like her father and his father before him. She is also half-Texan, something she’s trying to come to terms with. She graduated from the high school that was the actual inspiration for Footloose and went on to occasionally attend class at OU, where she earned a degree in English Writing and not Gaylord “journalism”.
Wendy’s dating a Backstreet Boy lookalike and enjoys planning their wedding in her spare time. Even though they aren’t engaged. She’s an INFP, her birthday is in November, and she hopes to own a goat someday.
