Thursday Morning Random Thoughts


- Channel 4's Clarice Tinsley, in reporting on the storm in Collin County, said at 10:03 p.m. last night, "One resident estimated the winds at 60 miles per hour." Really? That's your source? "One resident?"
- I gave 30 hours of my life to the audiobook, "The Fountainhead." I'm in the process of formulating a very angry and hot sports opinion about it.
- I still don't care about the Dallas Stars. The Rangers have won 7 of their last 10. And it is 114 days until the first college football Saturday.
- I don't know how Mike Synder and Jane McGarry of Channel 5 have jobs.
- The Cowboys are allowing HBO's "Hard Knocks" back in their training camp this summer. Good times. NFL Films puts out a lot of junk, but that show is pretty good.
- I think almost all of us never do anything significant with our lives.
- I wasn't the only one thinking the San Diego State drug bust was silly.
- Running for president would be a beating of biblical proportions.
- Have you ever watched one of the DFW infomercials for a car dealership on one of the Spanish channels? Talk about scantily clad women.
- I loved "Speed Racer" as a kid, but that new movie looks a little odd.
- Tony Romo tried to pull a "Tin Cup" and qualify for the U.S. Open golf tournament but, as is history in football, he didn't get past the first round. (That observation, and some that are pretty funny, are in the comments section of this story in the DMN.)
- June Cleaver has been voted "Favorite TV Mom" in the history of ever. My vote for hottest TV mom would go to Laura Petrie.
- Boring news: Russia's new president Dmitry Medvedev is sworn in. Interesting news: They actually have a ceremony where they hand him a briefcase containing the nuclear codes. (Saw it on Today Show.)

Quit worrying about the weather.

Start worrying about some of the rationalizing right-wing kooks that comment on your blog. Those types are, and will remain, clueless until the day they die.

How about some Thursday morning randomness for the ladies? Brad Pitt works for me!

It's the funniest thing. A long time ago I decided not to do drugs and I haven't been to jail yet.

She's got Monkey arms.

They look way out of proportion to the rest of her body.

Hulu is carrying episodes of Speed Racer. I think it will be my nap fodder this afternoon.
I would also like to see Barry throwing more of those "One For The Ladies" out here for his girl readers.

Although I'm not a lady or even a female, yeah I could get get my freak on with Brad Pitt-he's dreamy. Ummmm Pitty.

Barry, hope you know you've done a lot for this world. In ways that matter more than you may think. So thanks.

When I click on "Hey, Now" links and navigate away from your blog, it often takes an alarming amount of time to get back. That is, your blog is slow to re-load when I hit the back button, leaving "Hey, Now" photos of scantily-clad women suspended on my computer monitor, often while co-workers just happen to walk past my cubicle. Can you do something about this? Beef up your server or add some more tubes to the Internets or something?

Cocaine was banned in 1914, and marijuana in 1937," said David Borden, executive director of StoptheDrugWar.org, "and yet these drugs are so widely available almost a century later that college students can be hauled away 75 at a time for them. That is the very definition of policy failure.. Instead of throwing away money and law enforcement time on a policy that doesn't work, ruining lives in the process, Congress should repeal drug prohibition and allow states to create sensible regulations to govern drugs' lawful distribution and use. At a minimum, the focus should be taken off enforcement," said Borden.
Also check out stopthedrugwar.org. If after you do and still disagree that the WOD is a massive failure based on irrational fears and misinformation and essentially everything you believe about drug use is wrong, there is no end to what you'll believe.

When I was little I would pretend Laura Petrie was my mom and I was Ritchie. No perverted punchline or anything. My home life just really sucked butt and I thought she was nice and really pretty.
Hottest mom? Wilma Flintstone of course.

Until someone pulls a pistol out of their pants and gut shoots an opposing player to keep him from scoring and then blows his own brains out after saying,"Ain't life a b***h." football will continue to be the most boring supposedly exciting thing on the planet. Gaydom,pure gaydom.

Shocking how you found another criminal defense lawyer to agree with you. Absolutely shocking.

I have to wonder about the "deep thoughts" ie "most people never do anything significant with their lives" sandwiched in between pictures of scantily clad women and rants about The Fountainhead. You are disturbed on sooo many levels.

BIG "Hey now" on Laura Petrie.

So drug prohibition causes overdoses? It seems to me that drug use causes overdoses. But I'm no rocket surgeon.

I also hear that...

Not wearing seatbelts causes accidents.

Lung cancer causes smoking.

Pregnancy causes defective condoms.

Lawyers cause trials. (wait --)

There is no end to the twisted-argument lengths to which drug use advocates will go, no depths to which they won't sink, to advocate the recreational use of drugs which contribute nothing to society, but which have caused destruction of families and lives as well as many, many deaths.

Let's hear the benefits of recreational drug use one more time.

One reef, and you're pretty set for the night. One twelve pack, you are also pretty set for the night. ummmmm......which car would you prefer to be in to go and grab a burger from sonic?

Okay Kyle, here you go..........

Drugs will cause some deaths. The damn world is apparently overpopulated anyway. Only an idiot would kill himself with drugs. Soooo...... doesn't it make sense to let the herd thin itself of its idiots, save all the rest of us all this money spent trying to save fools from themseves, then focus our attention on something else which we might actually be able to solve?

Name the most successful pro sports franchise in the metroplex over the last decade? - The Dallas Stars

I happen to know 1 of those scantily clad ladies on the Hispanic TV commercial advertizing cars. Its a good thing she looks good scantily clad, because she's not qualified to do anything fully clad.

Is Clarice Tinsley still fine?

I'm with 10:47 on this one. That's some simple perspective that even the simplest of WC can get their minds around. Argument settled. Next case.

wordkyle said...

639 & 1047 - The choice is not between pot and booze. It's between straight and booze - the two legal options.

The fact that pot may not be as destructive as liquor is not a convincing reason to add it to the list of legal products.

No question Laura was the hottest.
Even hotter than that girl who used to work for Lou Grant.
