Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


- Javelin through the knee. (Thanks emailer)
- Oh, yeah. Anybody remember that Terror Threat Level Chart Thingamachig. As someone pointed out to me, has it every gone above yellow in the last few years?
- Lots of hub-bud about the lady who was shot at Northpark Mall in Dallas because it was "perceived as a safe area." Uh, is that code for something else?
- I'll say it for the hundreth time: Fox 4's Becky Oliver is one harsh woman. And what does she do for most of the year? She normally only shows up on our televisions yelling at someone once every three months or so.
- But man, Becky's report last night had some gold in it. Especially when a female (who just happened to be African American), and wearing a hoodie, carrying a dog, and sporting a couple of lost front teeth yelled: "Get off my property, beeyotch!!!"
- Random family lawyer.
- Funny one minute clip of the highlights of the great Charley Steiner on ESPN. Man, that network could use some more of that.
- I've been alerted for the last two years about "Speedo Man" in Decatur. Apparently some guy not far from the courthouse mows his lawn in a Speedo - a practice that I might adopt.
- Saw a guy at the grocery store yesterday wearing an Oklahoma Sooner cap and an Oklahoma State T-Shirt. That was Logo Chaos and a very bad look.
- And I'm pretty sure I saw two tall teenagers walk out of that grocery store with a bottle of ketchup without paying. That kind of pissed me off - but I wasn't sure. I had a reasonable doubt.
- Some guy from the Boston Red Sox threw a no-hitter last night. And if he is still with this gal, he is the luckiest man in the history of ever.
- The Nintendo Wii Fitness system looks like a great idea.
- I've had two people I trust tell me at the courthouse that they know of an individual with Wise County ties who has paid in excess of $3,000 after being pursued by the RIAA for illegal downloading of mp3s.
- Edit: An idiot prosecutor from Houston takes a shot at "Nigerian Lawyers".
- Edit: Check out these pics from another idiot at the Preakness. Fail.

I've read the RIAA stops coming after you at 5000$ A cap?
And all these cases as I understand are against those who share files, not just download.

There will be all women palbearers at Henry Roe (93) funeral today at Hawkins Funeral Home.

I think the Boston Red Sox pitcher that threw the no-hitter is also a cancer survivor. That should make him the luckiest man ever not what type of female is clinging to him.

Speedoman is famous (or infamous) around the Mess, at least back when I was there in the late 90s and the early 2000s. It's about two or three blocks down the street behind the Mess. building.

I agree with you about Charlie Steiner. If more of our media laughed at the stupid stories they sometimes report on (or stories about stupid people), at least we would all share the right attitude those stories/people deserve.

Yeah, mixing sports team logos is pretty bad form - unless you are wearing a Rangers ball cap with your Baylor-logo Speedos, then it's a real fashion-forward statement! C'mon, man, break it out! Give those gals something to talk about

Becky has been doing "her thing" for quite a few years now. Went after one of my clients once, years ago, and I swore she was a male wrestler wearing a blonde wig back then. Even the voice had me convinced I was onto something. A friend at Channel 4 convinced me I was wrong though.

Speedo man is real. And he doesn't have a speedo worthy body. I'm ashamed to say when we lived in Decatur my kids and I drove by on our way home from, where else Wally,in hopes of catching him outside. It always provided a whale of hysterical laughter in the backseat when we did. Sounds awful but what can one possibly expect standing outside with ones gut hanging over your speedo....with no shirt on to boot!

What's with all the "Fail" usage? Are you a /b/tard now, Barron?

The REAL terror level chart. www.geekandproud.net/terror/

The terror levels will go up once the elections heat up in the Fall, not because the incumbents will want to create fear and therefore get elected, but because of well... hell those gd terrorists.

I can't get over the fact that you know one, possibly more than one, person you can "trust" at the courthouse. WOW

Speedo man was around more than 10 years ago when I was in high school. You know how it goes....you hear rumor of it, so you drive by occasionally to see if the rumors are true and then one day you become scarred for life.....

12:40 - It'll be like this actually....."The terror levels will go up once the elections heat up in the Fall," as Dumbya decides he just can't stand not to be the POTUS, and will declare martial law, so that the elections are canceled.

Speedo man lives on!

Someone is going to kick the shit out of Becky Oliver one day.....hope they get it on film!!!

Speedoman has an affinity for strange dress. He used to wear sort of a loin cloth, where brown towels were sewed to some type of underwear front and back. He would wear an outdated western shirt with the sleeves cut off and some crazy hat. I guess he's become more of a minimalist fashion icon these days.

That girl needs a good old fashioned toe lickin. No wait,on second thought she needs a spankin!
On third thought- a spankin then a toe lickin.
Ummm spanky and licky.
