Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

  • In the Messenger today: A letter to the editor proclaims Obama as the antiChrist. Really.You have to see it. (I'll link to it once it is online) Edit: Here it is.
  • And yet another letter refers to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama." Puhleeeze.
  • The Bridgeport Bulls are (finally) #10 in the AP Poll. If someone has a good link to that poll that can be accessed every week in the same place, let me know. I think I know The Google pretty well, but I can't seem to find it.
  • There's no way I'm watching the presidential debate tonight. Two of them, which brought a big bag of nothing, were enough.
  • I just thought about chicken pot pie.
  • I know I don't have enough information to try to place blame for the federal bailout.
  • Nicolette Sheridan is still prancing around in Malibu in a bikini. Mercy.
  • I noticed the Methodist church on 287 that I referred to yesterday (the one that had the "hell house" last year) now has a banner up that reads "Fall Festival" (or something like that.) I bet there was a little turmoil in that church. Then again, pick any church.
  • The only reason I want Oklahoma State to fail is because I want a tear to roll down the cheek of T. Boone Pickens (he gave $165 million to the athletic program in 2006).
  • But the OSU coach's rant of "I'm A Man, I'm 40!" from last season is by for my favorite post-game press conference ever. It never gets old.
  • I was smart enough to use sunscreen on my face during the Texas/OU game this weekend. But I was dumb enough to leave uncovered a one inch strip on my forehead next to my hairline.
  • Most phone calls are unnecessary. And most unnecessary phone calls seem to be longer than the necessary ones.
  • I bought a razor that has a ridiculous four blades. I don't think its any better than the double bladed razor.
  • Many years ago, I had what looked like a golf ball hit my windshield after presumably being dropped from an overpass in Fort Worth. That will get your attention.
  • They sure have a lot of wildfires in California. Cool photo.
  • What exactly does "hightail" in the phrase "I'm gonna hightail it out of here" mean?
  • The best part of my job is that I never have in "company meetings" where everyone gathers around a conference table. That would drive me insane.
  • Man, in addition to that silly fried stuff at the State Fair, there is some pretty good stuff you typically never see. Saw some folks walking away from a German food stand with some a couple of items that looked pretty good. (Later learned one was a Reuben sandwich.)
  • I would never walk around holding a turkey leg.
