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...
It was a big weekend in for hunky singers from popular groups who went solo. Yes, I’m talking about Peter Murphy at the Tower Theater, of course. Whose heart doesn’t flutter when they see...
We’re barely into 2019, which looks to be a landmark year for getting faded in Oklahoma. It’ll be the first full year since Prohibition when we can legally smoke weed and buy high-point...
Every time we get jaded about radical weather changes in Oklahoma, we get a week like we just had. There was fog, lightning, snow, 30 degree temperature shifts, 40+ mph winds- basically, any dumb...
This is a pretty touchy subject, so I’ll begin with the following: whatever you choose to do as a warm body with the cold corpse you’ll turn into is your own business, and that’s...
How are your New Year’s Resolutions doing? I didn’t have any, but they would have been demolished after this last weekend. Every year, I go to a cabin at Lake Murray with my bff’s...
At the beginning of 2019, it’s kinda wild to think about all the hurdles that Oklahomans have had to jump over just to enjoy the rights to make, sell and buy beer. Over the last five years, the...
Aaaaaand we’re back! After a few weeks off from writing, I had a little bit of time to refresh my mind and reset the senses. Between New Year’s Day and getting a snow day last Thursday, I...

At the end of the year, we here at TLO like to go back and remember the past year. A little bit of that auld lang syne but deep-fried and dipped in ranch, you dig? This year, there was so much crazy...
Merry Chrimbus Eve! I’m assuming those of you reading this are the unfortunate ones whose offices didn’t give them any extra time off this week. I’ll be working at a liquor store...
After much fanfare and trumpeting, the Oklahoma City streetcar arrived in Oklahoma City on Friday. Naturally, the $135-million MAPS 3 project has been hella hyped on regular media and social media...
In true Oklahoma fashion, this December has gone from our first winter weather false-panic to feeling like early spring, all within a week. If we can get an ice storm, a tornado, and a humid 90...
I’m gonna be upfront with you here: I’m a goddamn grinch. I hate the Christmas season and all resulting culture that surrounds it. Maybe it’s because I grew up as a Jehovah’s...
There are some Christmas traditions we can do without—like drunk Uncle Eddie going on a nog-fueled tirade about something he saw on Fox News or being stuck having to buy presents for 20...
Thank goodness we survived another epic winter storm! As usual, all of the reports were accurate, and the trusty TV news meteorologists protected us against several inches of brutal snow, sleet, and...
