Okay, not aliens, but rather Mikles Family Farm in Shawnee, Oklahoma has created a pretty cool tribute to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The maze is big! Five acres and over two miles of trails. The maize maze stalks are thick and way over your head. Yes, even if you are as tall as a Thunder player.
That’s taking your fandom to the next level.

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips appeared on The Colbert Report Wednesday night to talk not only about the new Lips album, but also “Do You Realize?,” Oklahoma’s recently dubbed “state rock song.”
Oklahoma: “The Life is Short” State
In a story on NewsOK.com about the pending construction of the Devon Tower, Oklahoma City’s first legitimate skyscraper, I found this quote refreshing:
[Klay] Kimker, Devon’s vice president of administration, said he learned from construction of Liberty Tower that if one doesn’t have time to do things right the first time, then that person will face spending even more time fixing mistakes once the task is done.
You might be thinking, “what is so interesting about common sense like that?” Unfortunately, I don’t think this is common sense any more. In a time when any time after right now is late, proper planning is usually one of the first areas to get cut off the timeline. Unfortunately, I’ve been a part of many projects with a “do it fast, fix it later” mindset. So it was nice to read that the idea of taking your time and getting it right isn’t completely forsaken.
I’ll admit it. I had not been to a Blazers’ game in a while, but it is still sad to see them just die out even if an AHL team is on the way. I can definitely remember when they were the only show in town. In the video above, Ed Kelley of The Oklahoman has a good summation of why Bricktown might not be the Bricktown we know now if it weren’t for the CHL reincarnation of the Blazers.
