- Channel 8 Sports Extra had Eugene Lockhart as a co-host last night. Is a former slightly above average linebacker who last played 18 years ago really relevant?
- Texas canceled it's game against Arkansas on Saturday but I read there turned out not to be a drop of rain.
- Not exactly sure about the meaning of this morning's news of the Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy or the takeover of Merrill Lynch, but it can't be good.
- Had a waiter at Mercado Juarez refer to me throughout dinner as "boss" on Saturday night. I kind of liked that.
- 58 degrees this morning? Sweet.
- Whatever happened to comedian Steven Wright?
- I've begun watching In Bruges (another movie that I put in my Netflix queue weeks ago but I don't know why.) So far it's great.
- It's still early, but I wonder if Todd Dodge is regreting taking the North Texas head coaching job.
- I've become the guaranteed win for my opponents in my fantasy football league.
- I always watch Entourage on HBO but I'm not sure why.
- I went for a walk in the rain for the first time in years this weekend. Technically, I was walking in a hurricane.
- Saw this on a message board: "We’re definitely over-reacting here in Dallas. Our office manager sent an e-mail this afternoon [Friday] instructing everyone to close their blinds and office doors in case Ike blows out the windows. Also, we were to remove any paper from our desk because it could get sucked out the window. My brother’s building took it one step further. There will be an assessment Sunday night to determine whether the building will be closed on Monday or not. I guess they’re expecting a lot of damage, despite the fact we’re 300 miles inland."
- I actually woke up at about 3:30 on Saturday morning so I turned on the TV to see if the Hurricane had made landfall. I saw the funniest bit when one of the "on the scene" reporters was blown into a bunch of bushes only to pop up laughing. I thought someone would replay it, but I haven't seen it yet.
- And I promise I saw Channel 8 had a "countdown clock" on its 6:00 o'clock news on Friday ticking down until landfall for Ike. And get this: It measured down to the second. Something like 8 hours 25 minutes 23 seconds when I saw it.
- I saw a train push a car down the tracks outside of Rhome about five years ago after a fatal collision. Horrifying.
- We always gripe about long term, entrenched politicians and always beg for some "new blood" but when they come around they are roasted for not having "experience." (Goes for Obama and for Palin.)
- And just what sort of "job experience" is there that qualifies you for President?
- Seems like there is always a robbery or rape around the "Katy Trail" in Dallas, but this one seems a little odd.
- It's kind of fun to stumble through a Monday and then think, "Hey, the Cowboys are on tonight."
- I've been meaning to post this for a while: You can buy two seats from Texas Stadium for $650. To keep. Like, forwever. Here.

At some point down the road, Todd Dodge will have a quality football program at North Texas.
"Is a former slightly above average linebacker who last played 18 years ago really relevant?"
Is Dale Hansen still relevant?
todd dodge couldn't coach himself out of a bag. southlake carroll has been blessed with talent since bob ledbetter was there and move-ins are stilling coming in. dodge did not make southlake, southlake made him and now its been proven.
he is a has been. and dumb has been for ever leaving and now he has been exposed.
GO CHICO!!!!
BG..I can't believe you didn't mention anything about O.J. Simpson..you probably remember him from his football days at USC..the rest of us remember him as the wrongly aquitted double murderer..I still hope they fry his no-good black ass..you know what I mean BOSS...!
Your waiter had been in prison at one time and was using the power of perception he had devoloped that kept him alive in there to read that you were 'part of the machine'
Also, it was second nature to him so a natural part of your interaction but, he also read how you appreciated the title.
"Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect." - Steven Wrightism
He put out an award winning album in 07.
I'd like to catch him live sometime but, there are no dates on his webpage.
I hope I get the chance. He seems like the type who could just die out of nowhere.
When you walk by yourself @3:40 am in Dallas, aren't you pretty much asking for it??
I bet he saw you concealed weapon in your shoulder holster..
was there a hurrikane..?
Ike didn't exactly "Rock Me Like A Hurricane"
When Grover Cleveland was the Governor of New York he vetoed a bill that would have helped finish erecting Lady Of Liberty.
What is it with you Dems always hatin' on liberty?
The only interest I have in the Cowboys game tonight is how many fantasy points DeSean Jackson can get for me tonight...Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles is on tonight and that is always better than a Cowboys game.
Barry,do you ever see RAINBOWS while you're out on these walks in the rain?
what was the last thing oj said to nichole just before he cut her head nearly off...?
what's the difference between oj and the lion king..???
mam your waiter will be right with you!
the lion king is an african lion, oj simpson is a lyin african..
in light of the fact that there were literally dozens of pieces of direct evidence which proved simpson was and is the "real killer"..the most significant evidence against him was the fact that there was zero exculpitory evidence, not one single shred of evidence to exonorate him..if i ever have the opportunity i would like to be remembered as the person who killed oj simpson.
oh i'm sorry i forgot to sign off.....DOUBLE FAKE JUGHEAD HOGG..!!
I believe that residence in Washington DC does something to politicians. They eventually want to "get along" more than they want to get things done. The incumbent reelection rate is over 90%.
Career Congressmen and Senators are an abomination. Two terms in an office and then "Out!"
don't we have some kind of law in texas that allows you to kill someone who just needs killin..?
Barron, technically, you walked in a tropical storm. Ike was downgraded to a TS before a drop of precipitation landed in the metroplex.
I like saying, precipitation, a lot.
Double Fake Harold Taft
man he is squriming around rolling his eyes and trying to talk to his 2 white lawyers while the da is speaking...this is great...mtf
Twisted Priorities I: Fantasy football player is the only reason to watch a Cowboys game (and the player is not a Cowboy!)
Twisted Priorities II: Formulaic, predictable scripted drama is more important than a Cowboys game
"When you walk by yourself @3:40 am in Dallas, aren't you pretty much asking for it??"
I tend to agree, but that doesn't mean you deserve it, or that you should get it at all.
Triple Fake ghost of Tex Schramm
the da has been able to bring in the 34 million dollar judgement against simpson for wrongful death back in 95, and how simpson was trying to hide assetts...
oh my gosh!!! i could have won at Southlake Carrol!
double fake tony daniels
My random thoughtiness
1) I taught My 14 month old son to do the intro scream to The Immigrant Song (Dread Zeppelin version)when the music starts up without any cue.
I've been wanting to be more decent with my ex. When I took the kids to her Sunday instead of running after dropping them off to keep her from messing with my mind I accepted when she offered a cup of coffee.
2)She brought it to me in the cup that says, "I think you're HOT!" and has a picture of a devil with a pitchfork and a mischievious grin. It just appeared when we were married (some goob no doubt put it on her desk filled with candy and a cell phone number) and she started bringing me coffee (very unusual)in it at least a few times a week. I found out later it was her way of saying,"F you, you F'er, so and so's taggin this in the parking garage every time I take YOUR truck to work- Ha-Ha"
I think the world would be much more fun if everyone did more of the #1 above type stuff with each other and less of the #2 example to each other.
The End
At a restaurant in Victory park the waiter called me "Boss" the whole time also. It worked I gave him a better tip than normal.
Your fantasy team can't possibly be worse than mine. I got beat by someone who isn't even playing...
I don't think there is any ojt that could prepare one for being President.I do however know of one qualification that is necessary for running for any political office.The ability to stand next to someone and smile while filling their boot up!
Chico is kind of like the Venice of Wise County cept instead of them fancy canoes, they got rock trucks instead.

12:12... You are dead on, Sir.
Which is exactly why I yell "COUGAR!" at the top of my longs occaisionally.
"Double Fake Tony Daniels"
Ummm... please go impersonate a REAL football coach somewhere else this time.
Ohh... and quit picking your nose in public. Its gross.
I watched the movie In Bruge simple because I had traveled to Bruge just a few weeks before the movie came out. What a beautiful place. I loved it. The movie not so much. Although I did go up to the top of the bell tower and had a wonderful view of the town. After seeing what happenes in the bell tower in the movie- I wish I had skipped the movie.
Now that Lehman Brothers is bankrupt, maybe they'll stop forecasting that a barrel of oil will reach $200 and being responsible for pushing up the price of gasoline. If this don't remind you that Karma is a bitch, nothing will.
today looks like it will be worse than monday..maybe black tuesday..!! GO JAR....!
She looks like the head cheerleader.
