State Rep. Ryan McMullen wins OKGwidget's way-late Xmas card contest! What does he win? His choice of pickin' from our schwag bag of crap PR folks send us. So all you folks out there in Lone Wolf, or wherever else House Distrct 55 stretches, get the word out! Or Rep. McMullen could just e-mail us to claim his prize. We might even have an extra for that hound. 

Thanks, Wayne! Now finish that movie.

Putnam City High School student Morgan Tepsic reports that his recent trip to Korea – at which he handed out homemade stuffed monsters to locals – was a success. So much that he's now working with contacts to sell his "blurbs" in Korean stores. However, Tepsic said, "Koreans cannot say their Ls or Rs, so we had to change the name for them," so they're now called "TookieTookie."
