Isn’t Murder Bad?

Published by

Meet Andrew Harshman. Mr. Harshman apparently lost his girlfriend to Enid businessman Rick Childs. In response, Harshman did what any red blooded male does when trying to recapture their woman. He tried to hire a hitman. Luckily for Rick, Harshman was not very clever in his attempts. According to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs:

The investigation started when Enid Police learned that Mr. Harshman was actively soliciting the murder of a local business man and was offering to pay for the potential murder.

The Enid Police Narcotics Unit, EPD Investigative Service Division, along with an Agent with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs combined efforts to investigate this allegation. Officers were able to introduce an undercover officer to Harshman as the person who would potentially carry out the murder for hire. The undercover officer obtained enough information from Harshman to establish the solicitation, and through technical investigative procedures, surveillance, and outstanding undercover work by the OBN Agent, officers were able to establish probable cause to arrest Mr. Harshman Tuesday morning.

Bravo to Enid law enforcement, right? They saved a man’s life and set it up so Andrew Harshman will not be able to hurt anyone else. Well, at least not unless he does it during the week.

I know what you’re asking, “What?” Great question. According to this News9 article, Harshman was convicted of trying to hire one person to murder another person and his penalty is 60 weekends (a total of 120 days) in jail. Making it even less constricting is that they aren’t even consecutive weekends. The penalty requires that he spend at least one weekend per month in prison.

One weekend a month? Isn’t that what Army reservists have to commit? Of course, the reservists have the additional burden of possibly being sent to Iraq for an unspecified length of time. So, I guess the lesson is that reservists should offer an undercover police officer $36K to murder their ex-girlfriend’s new husbands.

Still An Obscure Local Social Blog…

So, about that Oklahoma Gazette article.

Yeah, that’s a cover story about our little web site. Yeah, the Gazette must be running out of things to write about. Needless to say, it is a little strange to see things we said in black and white print, and reading people like Kelly Ogle and Lauren Richardson (people we see on television!) talking about us is sufficiently freaky as hell.

We don’t have much to add, but frankly are pretty discouraged about the whole thing. Where are we at in society today? Are you kidding me? An article on The Lost Ogle? That’s why we don’t read the newspaper! Because it’s garbage. And the editor who let that come out is GARBAGE!

Jenni Carlson hates blow-up dolls

Published by
Patrick
 at May 7, 2008

This past weekend, the Chicago White Sox did something weird to break out of their recent slump. They got out the blow-up dolls. From the Chicago Sun-Times:

If anyone was offended by the White Sox having a pair of inflatable dolls surrounded by bats and a sign encouraging players to “push” in their clubhouse before Sunday’s game in Toronto, don’t expect an apology from manager Ozzie Guillen…

On Sunday, the bats were circled around the two naked female dolls, one of whom had a bat inserted in its backside to prop it up. Each wore a sign over her breasts, one saying “Let’s Go White Sox” and the other reading “You’ve Got to Push,” the National Post in Toronto reported.

As I said, that’s weird. But know what’s even weirder? Look who got upset:

One group not amused by the prank was the Association for Women in Sports Media, whose members work toward ensuring a non-threatening work environment for all women in sports media. “The presence of those dolls creates an uncomfortable situation for any female journalist who enters the White Sox locker room simply trying to do her job,” said Jenni Carlson, the group’s president, in an e-mail.

Yes, the White Sox “slump buster” was pretty bizarre and tacky. And yes, I can see how a respectable female journalist would feel uncomfortable around blow-up dolls with bats “inserted in their backsides.” But wouldn’t any person who is not a Christie’s Toy Box employees or arrogant athlete feel uncomfortable trying to work while surrounded by a bunch of blow-up dolls? Seriously, what were all the male journalists doing? Laughing, pointing and having a circle jerk?

Anyway, here are a few more thoughts:

  • Not only is Jenni Carlson a member of the Association for Women in Sports Media, but she’s also the president. Scary. This would be like Mr. Monday leading the North American Association of Anonymous Humor Columnists. The fact that Jenni rose to this rank simply proves my old theory that she is on a path to rule the world.
  • I wonder what Jenni would have said if the White Sox players were feeding the blow-up dolls Kentucky Fried Chicken. Or if there were rumors and rumblings that the dolls were going to transfer.
  • I’m pretty sure I know what Mike Gundy is going to send Jenni for her birthday.

(Thanks to our reader “OUredman” for pointing us to WithLeather for the “tip.”)

Hot Girl a Day in the Month of May: Dean Blevins

Published by
Patrick
 at May 7, 2008

Yeah, we know. Technically, Dean Blevins is not a girl, but he’s probably banged plenty of hot girls. So if the logic of my 7th grade healthful living teach was right, the following statement would probably ring true:

If you had sex with Dean Blevins, you’ve had sex with a lot of hot girls.

Anyway, I’m not sure how that gets him on this list, but it’s worth noting. I’m also not sure what else you would get if you had sex with Dean Blevins, maybe Curtis Fitzpatrick knows.

The Lost Ogle Mailbag

Published by

 at May 6, 2008

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.

Hot Girl a Day in the Month of May: Marzia Prince

Published by

From Marzia Prince’s website:

The longest place I ever lived as a kid was Zaragoza, Spain.  The longest place I have ever lived as an adult is Oklahoma City, OK.

Uhm…I’m honestly not sure how long Oklahoma City is, but since apparently Marzia lived here for awhile, we’ll claim her as our own.  Of course it doesn’t hurt to know (according to this RIDICULOUSLY not safe for work video from “Playboy’s Sexy Wives”) that Marzia is “attracted to very very smart men” and is “very sexually attracted to women.”  I’m a very very very very smart man and I am also very attracted to women.  I think we may be compatible.

We need more draconian laws in Oklahoma…

Published by
Patrick
 at May 5, 2008

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:

Honestly, we don’t know too much about Amanda. We know she is from Mustang and modeled for Stuff. Also, I swear that I hooked up with her one night at the Silver Stallion. But as I said, we don’t know too much about her.

Here’s the guy who ranked OKC ahead of Chernobyl…

Published by
Patrick
 at May 3, 2008

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.
