It’s natural for us to see phallic imagery everywhere we go. The legendary psychologist and pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, told us that men wish to have the phallus and women desire...
Ahh, springtime, what with the birds and the bees and the pollen and the weird springtime flu or whatever that has decimated me over the last week. Nothing like thinking, “Boy, my allergies...
Followers of this site won’t be shocked by the fact that special interest groups overwhelmingly control our state legislature. Whether lawmakers are defending oil overlords, the tobacco...
OKC had our most recent Open Streets yesterday, which is the thing where the city shuts down several blocks of a street so people can walk around aimlessly and eat from food trucks, which is...
In the Golden Era of Thunder basketball (read: when the fanbase believed the team would win several championships), there was a thing called Thunder Alley. Gather ’round, kids, and hear about...
Welcome back to another edition of the monthly TLO Metro Music Showcase, where we highlight some of the best live music and concerts for you to check out over the next month! This...
It’s April now, which means we’re in one of the most meaningless seasons of Oklahoma. Will we get a snowstorm? Will we get a day over 90 degrees? How about a tornado or two? Who knows...
We don’t get too many wins around these parts. When it comes to sports, just making it to the playoffs is about as far as one of our teams makes it, which amounts to everyone piling on to the...
Is your bracket busted yet? I could care less about your March Madness bracket, I’m talking Ogle Madness, baby! I had Sam Anderson as the Cinderella story and taking it all the way, but those...
Writing for TLO on the surface seems like all glitz and glamour, but most of the gig consists of peeling through local news in the search for anything interesting enough to write about. This part of...
Your fingers are jittery, and that is to be expected with St. Patrick’s Day on a Sunday. Normally, I avoid the holiday, but I was off work and visited some of my good friend’s at...
It’s not that quiet of a secret that Oklahoma City is an unsafe hellzone for people not insulated inside a 2-ton bullet of steel and aluminum. There are plenty of citizens in town who...
It was a big weekend in the big town. We had the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship taking place downtown, the OKC Thunder, who have been wildly unreliable since the All-Star break, finally...
Most people have a story about when they first learned to drive a stick. My lesson was from a manager at the Crest Foods #2 location in Midwest City. He tried to teach me how to drive his standard...
I can’t believe they cancelled school today because of the cold. Why, in my day, we’d have to go to school every day, no matter what. Even when the temperatures dropped below freezing...
Welcome back to another edition of the monthly TLO Metro Music Showcase, where we highlight some of the best live music for you to check out over the next month! This Showcase is brought to you by...
Cheap machine-made fog formed a whispy haze that lingered around the middle of the room, and that was the least disorienting part of stepping into the 89th Street Collective for the first time. Walls...
Leave it to Oklahoma to have some perfectly fine and sunny days in February to be ruined by some comically violent wind. Why are we sitting back and letting winds gust at over 40 mph? They can put a...
It was a very special weekend for The Lost Ogle family. Saturday afternoon saw Sam Scovill, our resident Jeopardy champ/trivia wizard get married. TLO’s own Hayley officiated the ceremony, and...
For as much as we like to complain about politics in Oklahoma, people just don’t like to turn up to vote. Hell, the midterms last November saw the biggest bump since 1986, and only 56% of...
After another late Friday night of closing the bar, mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms and all the Charlie Work that comes with the job, I passed out on the couch around 5 am. None of this is...
From the day it opened, the downtown Oklahoma City jail – a bleak RoboCop-era chamber of imprisonment – has always been a troubled facility. If you wanna know how bad things are at the...
Welcome back to another edition of the monthly TLO Metro Music Showcase, where we highlight some of the best live music for you to check out over the next month! The Showcase is brought to you by...
We can complain about the Super Bowl every year, and last night was as bad as it gets. It’s a toxic league that places owners first and players second. The NFL is regressive with how they treat...
Seasonal Affective Disorder in Seattle, Washington is a real thing. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting that city a few times during the summer, and it’s the most beautiful place I’ve...
