To quote Tom Keifer, “You don’t know what you got ‘till it’s gone…” It takes a few years of living outside Oklahoma (or, of course, Texas) to fully appreciate the gratuitous nuances the...
Norman seems pretty laid-back, I guess. The few times I’ve been, I’ve definitely admired the “sun’s out, guns out” vibe the city does a decent job of playing up, a developmentally arrested...
What’s up, TLO readers? It’s me. Marisa. I’m coming out of retirement while Patrick is at home learning to tell terrible puns while fiddling with the lawnmower on the back porch...

As the weather is getting warmer (and colder) and warmer again, Oklahomans from across the metro are preparing for the upcoming season of cookouts, family reunions, and, in my case, 2nd degree...
True to their name, the reason why Fat Guy’s Burger Bar, 140 N. Greenwood in Tulsa, is so popular is they honestly don’t give a big fat… well… you know. We are continually inundated...
Many times, when my Caucasian amigos go for a night out at the movies with me, I tend to slightly embarrass them by going full Latino and pulling out a spare crying baby about 15 minutes into the...
Whenever most people wistfully think back about their grandmothers and in particular, her cooking, as the angelic harps of memory play and the silvery clouds of memory part, they are usually left...
So… the Great Oklahoma Teachers Walkout of 2018 is over? I guess if you believe the Oklahoma Education Association it is. With OEA President Alicia Priest claiming a “victory,” teachers have...
Living in a state that wears its pulse-pounding corpulence like a triple-XL badge of honor, many times it seems as though starving Okies will often end up choosing quantity over quality and, in these...
Whenever I have to buy someone I barely know a present, yes, I am that jerk that usually ponies up a few dollars for a wholly unisex and mutually inoffensive tin of flavored popcorn, oftentimes...
A couple of weeks ago in this very spot, we lamented that with all Oklahoma teachers have had to deal with over the past few years—bureaucratically, financially and psychologically—seemingly the...

“Now ya’ll muthaf@#$as need to quit that f@#$in’ cussin’ or take it outside ‘cause I’m the only muthaf@#$a allowed to cuss in here…” the older man behind the counter warned a couple...
Starting tonight, Oklahoma-based pizza chain Mazzio’s will begin offering all underpaid, overworked and underfed Oklahoma educators (with a current school ID, of course) a complimentary Tuesday...
