- The HBO election movie, Recount, which debuts May 25th looks really good.
-Crazy shooting at a Roanoke hotel (didn't realize there was a hotel there), but I'm not sure an arrest was necessary. But in this day and time, if a death is involved, regardless of whether it's an accident, someone's going to jail. Note to self: Don't take pants off to go swimming in the middle of the night with handgun left in said pants.
- I've beaten that Ralph Hardy thing to death, but I love stuff like that.
- A double amputee from South Africa will compete in the Olympics if he can beat a 45.55 second time in the 400 meters race. Have you seen those "specially-adapted carbon fibre blades" that he runs on? I think, with practice, a guy can run faster on those things than with legs.
- That Brian Loncar story below, based upon the updates after I linked to it, turned out to be pretty bad. (And I just saw one of his commercials on Channel 4 at 6:44 a.m. - "When speed is what you need.")
- Put a soft drink can in the freezer, and it'll be cool in a matter of minutes. Put a plastic bottle in there, and it takes forever.
- For the last few months, the Sunday Dallas Morning News has been putting the circulars in separate plastic wrapping. Makes throwing it away very easy.
- I watched Grizzly Man again this weekend. Good times.
- I drove through Silver Lakes Ranch in Wise County this weekend. I had never heard of it until Chief Deputy Doug Whitehead told me about it. They say the development has about 20+ miles of roadways in it. I believe it. I feel sorry for the deputy that has to respond to a call out there.
- Saw gas in several places at $3.79.
- Double take headline from this morning's DMN: "Man riding Moped on Dallas freeway dies." Fail.
- I'm not sure what the Legends of Fighting is, but I swore I saw this happen at the end of Rocky II.
- Watched a little bit of the CMA's last night. I didn't recognize Carrie Underwood. Taylor Swift had a crazy act where her hoodie and jeans were torn off. Garth Brooks beat me down like he did 10 years ago. Brooks and Dunn appeared for the 75th year in a row. I think Reba McEntire fakes that accent.
- Boyd's Greg "The Hammer" Williams was on Steve Doocy's sports show last night. He looked good. Didn't tell us much other than admitting to "illegal drug use" and kind of implied he'd be back on the radio soon.
- Pushing 100 degrees today? Remember this less than 75 days ago?

Silver Lakes Ranch is a perfect example of exurb sprawl that will die with these fuel prices.
Oh, now you went and did it Barry! Probably wont be reading this blog again ! Me likes me some Reba....secretly you must also. Did you dream of that seductive voice last night...LOL
It was good to see Greggo again.
Hey!!!..Don't mess with my gal Reba!! She called the eighth wonder of the world right last night, didn't she!??
On another note, this will teach Brian Loncar to chase ambulances instead of fire trucks!
If you remember your basic physics(yeah, right) you'll remember the specific heat of aluminum is lower than the specific heat of plastic. Therefore, it takes less energy to cool the can, than the bottle, thus allowing the contents of the can to cool faster than the bottle.
Double Fake Mr. Wizard
Garth Brooks turned into a big puss. He used to be cool. Then he got that stupid alter-ego thing going and that's when he "jumped the shark" in my mind.
After that you couldn't watch an interview with him where he didn't get all teary-eyed and emotional. Every public speaking event was a big fat blubber-fest.
Verdict: induction into the "Man-Turned-Puss Hall of Fame."
I can't stand Carrie Underwood's voice. It seems that all she does is scream in every song. Very annoying
I always get a chuckle out of the blogger who signs his comments
"The Fake _________"
or
"Double Fake ________"
It's not neccessarily his comments that make me laugh, it's the way he signs; he doesn't take himself too seriously and I like it.
Although I'm still trying to figure out what quailifies a faker to be a double faker.

I like it when college girls spoon and do other stuff for 60-90 minutes or sumthin.
Anything involving Garth Brooks is a beating. Once a girl I'd been dying to hook up with asked me out to a Garth Brooks concert. I nearly choked on my tongue at first at the thought but,you always heard how awesome he was live. Remember Journey? Terrible music. Inoterable at anything actually but, live shows. They were awesome. So I thought it might be the same concept. This girl was masterfuly hot. Blonde hair,blue eyes and real tan. Her legs were shiny and it seemed no matter what she was always wearing a short black skirt.
It was the most annoying,gayest thing I've seen in my entire life and I've watched parts of Brokeback Mountain.Women were losing their minds.
As soon as we got out of the arena she was basically all over me while at the same time going on and on about how"amazing" and "awesome" the show was. She had a crazy look in her eye and started freaking me out real quick. She kept it up all the way to her house where my Jeep was. By the time we got there she had me freaking out so bad I mumbled something I'm not sure what and started leaving. The last thing she ever said to me was,"What! Are you crazy or stupid?" and then a long string of bad curse words and names.
But,even all that wasn't as bad as that concert. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. When I think about it, I really get kind of shook up still-it was so awful. It was the worst thing I've ever endured and I once had my junk cut off with a butter knife and a red hot fireplace poker stuck up my butt. It's ok though,I got better.
The End
To the Real Anonymous...
I put more emphasis on the authorship than I do the content, for sure.
No Fake Double Fake
I'm not saying you're wrong, but Reba is from Anysmalltown, Oklahoma. They come across those twangy accents naturally there, you know, the way some of us around these parts do, dagnabit!
I'm just sayin'
Stayed up to see Greggo on the news last night....he was nervous as hell, shakey voice and trembeling hands. Love Greggo though, he'll bounce back
Holy Schneikees!! on the double knockout.How would that fight be scored?
You're right Barry,people can learn to blow away abled body altheletes with those blade devices. I saw it on a special once,no wait,nevermind that was an episode of PowerRangers.
