Is it Monday? That means it’s time for another installment of Beer Review Monday! The virtuous, backpack-clad Thunder play the hated (boo!) LA Lakers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, and OKC.NET is ready to roll. Beer at 11 a.m.? It’s in the name of journalism (and preparation for the game this evening…you [...]

I Will Strike Down Upon Thee With Great Vengeance and Furious Anger: Thunder-Mavericks Game 3
The Thunder has been rolling in the playoffs so far, and no nobody’s more excited about than we here at OKC.NET. Throughout the entire playoffs series, certain OKC.NET staffers have been watching the game and shouting Pulp Fiction quotes at the television to describe our feelings about things in the games. The Thunder-Mavs series has been [...]
Origin Stories: The Dan of Steel Gets Historical
Here’s an apocryphal story, a legend from the annals of comics history: In 1961, a Marvel publisher was golfing with a friend who was an executive from DC Comics. The DC executive was bragging about the runaway success of the Justice League, the super-team consisting of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and assorted other DC A-listers. [...]
A Monster Monday Beer Review!!!
Another Monday, another beer review. Today, intrepid beer reviewer Helen Grant was unavailable, so I found some replacements, including my longtime friend Adam Westbrook and his companions Chris Hall, Jennifer Trotter and Andreas Eitel. Together, we contiued OKC.NET’s ongoing mission to explore new pubs and new civiliations, and to boldly go where no beer review [...]
Norman Music Festival 5
The fifth Norman Music Festival took place over the weekend, and it was…well, it was a music festival. I’d never been before, and it was cool. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it because I haven’t been into live music festivals lately. But it was like going to the State Fair, but fun, and not [...]
Beastly Boys: The Dan of Steel Gets Rowdy
You probably won’t like The Boys. At least, you probably won’t if you’re a well-adjusted, thinking, feeling, human being. It’s violent, needlessly crass, and at times just unremittingly filthy. It’s also by Garth Ennis (with fantastically garish art by Darick Robertson), though, so The Boys is also compelling, funny, thrilling, and deeply sympathetic to its characters [...]
Dio Fan Art Fan Art: OKC.NET Gets Meta
Above all, we here at OKC.NET want to please our readers. That’s what led several of our staff members to create Dio Fan Art a few weeks ago. It apparently worked, because we received our first piece of Dio Fan Art Fan Art, from none other than Special Projects Editor Daniel Page‘s sister Mary. Editor’s [...]
Moments of Silence
My father used to joke that a cup of coffee saved his life. Whether that was his typically dry wit, or the use of gallows humor as an attempt to cope with something horrific, I don’t know. You see, my father is David Page, who works for The Journal Record, and was in the old [...]
To Boldly Go Where No Beer Has Gone Before…
Written by Daniel Page and Helen Grant Helen and I decided talking beer over lunch on Monday was a good idea, so you know what? We did it again, dammit. This time we sat downstairs at the bar at McNellie’s, and we socialized with the bartender and the bar manager while we wrote our opinions [...]
A Bite of the Apple
So I’d never been to Biting the Apple, the IAO Gallery’s annual erotic art show, before Saturday night, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I mean, it wasn’t like the show was a huge secret, but I had no clue what I might see in terms of big statement pieces. I read Helen [...]
