IrritatedTulsan — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:48:22 +0000

Holy crap! This house, the one hidden in the rustic Midtown Tulsa forest, used nearly 4.1 million gallons of water in one year. During a slow news days, Tulsa World investigated Tulsa’s top water users. Anthony Lauinger’s 2.5 acre property topped the list. They also gave his address, which is 1923 E. 47th St., for those [...]

Tom Coburn is mean…

Patrick — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:33:04 +0000

When I think of a strong leader, I think someone who will stick up for a friend or colleague during a time of crisis…not simply throw them under the bus. According to this logic, Tom Coburn is not a good leader. He’s also very mean. (p.s.- Last week, we wrote an article that had to do [...]

OKC Media Approval Ratings: Jenni Carlson

Patrick — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:19:58 +0000

Regular Jim Traber and I don’t agree on very many things. We do agree on this: Jenni Carlson is a terrible sports columnist That being said, the big difference between me and Regular Jim Traber is that Traber still reads Jenni Carlson columns. We know this because he talks about her columns on the Sports Animal. I think [...]

Last night, we received a Facebook Wall Post by Lauren Richardson telling us that she had some white bikini pictures for us. She followed this up with a post that said “I have pics that would blow you away…… and I mean blow.” She also posted that she had drank five margaritas. Our response was [...]

Did you miss me? It’s been two weeks, you know. Sigh..you’re such a terrible liar. A daring combination of OKC’s weekend being canceled due to weather and my lack of inspiration teamed up and deprived you of your favorite thing all week – FNITBT. Have I mentioned how this thing probably won’t be the same [...]

(Oklahoma is a wonderful, incredible state filled with charming small towns and awesome big cities. I love this state in every way possible. But even still, there are some features of specific places that are the opposite of awesome. Hopefully, this is where we can detail some of those issues.) I’ve been to Enid one time. [...]

Last week, News 9 at 4 host Melissa Maynarich had a baby, and in a nice piece of marketing, KWTV has decided to bring in “Mystery Anchors” to host one week of the program each week of February during her maternity leave. It kicked off with the great Jenifer Reynolds, who left her dogfighting [...]

The OKCPD is not very smart…

Remember that bratwurst aroma you smelled coming from the police station a few weeks ago? There was a reason for all of that. From News9.com. A German man is in the Oklahoma County jail on allegations he conned an Oklahoma City Police captain. Maziar Golchehr, 27, was arrested on charges of possession of a sawed off rifle [...]

Tulsa Tuesday – Gay-Friendly Book Not Banned at Union

IrritatedTulsan — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:24:14 +0000

The parents of a child at Union Elementary School wanted to ban a children’s book because it alluded to a same-sex couple. Buster’s Sugartime, a book from the PBS children’s show Postcards from Buster, implied that a lesbian couple with a child is normal. In Oklahoma, like Iraq, homosexuality doesn’t exist. Buster; the cousin of Arthur, an [...]

Stuff Oklahomans Like: Upside Down Longhorn Stickers

Clark Matthews — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:19:08 +0000

Hate is a strong word, but when it comes to the rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas, it is the only word that fits. Most Oklahomans would like for everyone to believe that it is the entire state of Texas they hate. Nothing comes from Texas but “steers and queers” (and [...]
