- Anyone else remember when Southlake had that small Dairy Queen on the right off of 114?
- Swine Flu Pandemic: Panic, Overrated.
- There was an obituary this week in the Messenger of an elderly man but the photo that accompanied it was that of him as a young man. I used to have a problem with that. Now, I support it.
- The Rev. Jeremiah Wright was in Dallas last weekend. He managed to fire off, "Never had a black woman sleeping legally in the White House every night, and she doesn’t have to sneak in through the servant’s entrance." That guy has some hot sports opinions.
- I can't help but watch the NFL Draft every year, but it makes me uncomfortable. A bunch of rich, white owners deciding what healthy black men will work for them.
- Dumbest Cowboy pick: With a young, great kicker already on the roster with Nick Folk, Dallas drafts a kicker in the fifth round. (Although apparently he is so freakishly fast and strong that he might be able to play special teams)
- On the first day of the draft, ESPN had a camera on the Cowboys' "War Room". Everyone wore a dark suit except Coach Wade Phillips who wore a yellow shirt over his plump frame. He stuck out like a banana. The guy has no idea.
- "The Mexican" is on every movie channel all the time.
- Bea Arthur died this weekend. On The Ticket this morning they mentioned there was an episode of Maude where she had an abortion. Man, I had no idea. (Then they brought up that Edith in All In The Family was sexually assaulted in one episode.) I think they didn't understand "comedy" in the 1970s.
- I have never been remotely entertained by The Doors.
- I randomly clicked on an issue of The Spin from 2005 and saw this: "An inmate who was sentenced last week to at least 30 real years in prison commits suicide in the Wise County Jail." I have no memory of that. That kind of scares me.
- Underrated actor: Jason Statham.
- I watched Iron Man yesterday. I think my brain is programmed as such that I don't like Super Hero movies even if everyone else proclaims them as great.
- I've said it for years: A pitcher intentionally throwing at a batter (in the American League where the pitcher does not have to bat) is the most cowardly sports act in history.
- I didn't watch a second of NASCAR but the end at Tallagdegha was crazy. Carl Edwards car goes airborne into the chain link fence. Eight people were hurt but I'm still amazed that car didn't go into the stands.

I grew up a few houses down from that Dairy Queen. We used to ride our horses to it. Where my home used to be is now a big shopping center. We used to skate board down a hill on 1709 when it used to be a little 2 lane country road hardly any traffic. You would risk your life now just trying to walk across the street in that area!
Jason Statham as an actor in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, pretty good. The rest of his movies, not so much. My biggest movie surprise of all time was watching Jean-Claude Van Damme in JCVD. In at least one movie, Van Damme can act.
Is today's pic titled with and without?
Barry, i demand the chamber of commerce name you the "citizen of the year" after you blessing us with the best morning pick-me-upper pick ever. in fact, i'm running to the restroom here at the office as soon as i hit publish. wow, that is some sweet stuff. i demand and encore of these two ladies for the afternoon.
on another and less fun note, speaking of the WCM.....did you pay close attention to the fatal wreck picture on the front page? did woman's car, but look just above the crushed car.
newspaper gold.
im jus' sayin...
This has nothing to do with your posts today, but I thought you would like to hear about the truck that I saw at the Wells Fargo in Boyd on Saturday morning. It was at the ATM, and on the back in blue shoe polish it stated "I voted for the white guy". I wanted to get a picture of it for you but didn't have the guts to get my phone out.
Barry, you should be the first to condemn a rascist idiot like Wright who hides behind the title Reverend as does Jackson and Sharpton.
these real world b words again? give the guys sum variety barry!
Cowboys got a kicker because nick folk sucks on kickoffs not once last year did he kick the ball out of the endzone so that was a awesome pick....when you watch and follow the cowboys you would know!!!!!

When are belly button piercings and white sunglasses going to disappear? They've run their course. Hopefully, the same plastic surgeon who augmented red top's breasts can fix the holes in her ears when those big earrings finally tear through her ear lobes. Was this picture cropped or is it just bad photography? A good photographer would have had the two girls touching chests. Where are they at? Twin Points? That place looks like it sucks. Perhaps they went there knowing that they would be the hottest chicks there. Are they from the Real World? That show should have been cancelled a long time ago. Nothing like seeing a bunch of 30 and 40 year olds trying to keep it real. Those stupid MTV challenge shows are the only source of income for more than half of those idiots. The others go on speaking tours at colleges and universities. Who wants to hear what they have to say? All they ever did was look stupid enough on tape for some producer to decide that they should be given their 15 minutes. Now, in addition to being an alcoholic, womanizer/whore, with no life experiences and a funny name, you have to be gay, transgendered, extremely right/left or suffer from some unknown affliction to be on the show. MTV sucks and so do these two broads. guinness67
Obama says that the new flu strain is nothing to worry about. Suddenly he is an expert in yet another area he has no education or experience in. I worry about it, both my grandmother and my great grandfather died from it. The virus can, has, and will mutate.
the flu will just be an excuse for more government and taxes, and less liberty.
never let a crises go to waste, even if you have to make one up.
Cowboys just Signed undrafted QB Graham Harrell of TT
Southlake Dairy Queen; isn't that where Mark Cuban worked for half a day shortly after he had purchased the Mavs. If memory serves, he had said something stupid about working at Dairy Queen, and sort of had to go do it to present the iimpression that he wasn't the insensatitive boob that history has proven him to be.
NFL draft as uncomfortable because rich white owners are picking which black men are going to work for them. Trust me, if there was anything remotely racist about those rich white guys deciding which black men they are about to recognize for failing to complete their individual committments to college programs (i.e., coming out early) or failing to take advantage of the chance to walk away from college with a degree, with million dollar contracts, the Right Rev. Wright would be all over that like stink on a steaming pile of cow crap. Don't feel guilty for watching the draft.
GOLF TOURNAMENT - The 10th annual United Way Golf Tournament is Friday at The Golf Club at the Resort on Eagle Mountain Lake. Entry fee is $400 for a four-person team and includes a hamburger lunch, range balls, goody bag and a chance at door prizes. Registration is at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. For more information or to register.
Way to Go Club at RAB..really nailed that one to keep those Dollars in Wise County...whoops they have a great Staff there...sorry just figured it out...
No real connection here, but I thought I would pass this along (and let the commenters go wild).
I heard an interesting comment from a humorist on tv over the weekend, regarding the NRA. It goes something like this:
"The rationale always used by the NRA and other gun-lovers was, 'If we let the government regulate or take our guns, then it will only be a matter of time until it also tries to take away our other freedoms.' Which kind of made sense and sounded sympathetic.
But then the Patriot Act came along, and the Republicans said, 'Hey, keep your guns. Just give up all these other freedoms!'
And the NRA and other gun lovers couldn't wait to line up and say, 'GREAT! WONDERFUL! YOU BET! Take away all these other freedoms all you want. As long as you let us keep our guns, we're with you!'
So now we know. The ONLY 'freedom' the NRA is really interested in protecting is their own freedom to keep guns."
At the very least, my friends, that is food for thought.
Don't worry. Be happy. Seems like that is all we hear or want to hear from the leader who frankly, scares me.
Any flu is dangerous and with open borders, swine flu that humans caught by living in third word conditions with pigs, will make a lot of us sick.
And think about all the produce coming in from Mexico. Going to eat from my survival garden sooner than I thought.
1014 - Your premise is wrong. Humorists distort the truth for comic effect. You might as well talk about alcoholic clergy based on the setup of "a priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar..."
"Well Jon Stewart said..." ~ Comedian
"Bill Maher thinks..." ~ Comedian
"Keith Olbermann wonders why..." ~ Washed up sportscaster

Think for yourselves.
10:14 thats one of the dumbest thought ive ever read.
gone...
10:13 - what's your attempted point? Whether the golf tournament is held at the Resort or the Club, the money raised goes to the Wise Co United Way. If you have a supportable complaint about the RAB club, try expressing what exactly it is.
Barry,
The best part about the NASCAR race was after the car finally settled down, Carl Edwards gets out and runs across the start/finish line in true Ricky Bobby fashion.
Double Fake Darrell "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity" Waltrip
10:13 and 11:47 - at least the United Way tourney isn't at DCC - freaking goat ranch - a perfect example of throwing good money at bad.
The flu thing is always just a big panic that never happens. Chill, folks. Just wash your hands after touching those nasty shopping carts and STAY HOME if you're sick and you'll be fine. the dying folk are in Me-hi-co, not here. If you get sick, get Tamiflu and it'll fix you right up.
Jarhead, that's the firt time I've EVER agreed with your post.
Wow, I now have hope for you.
No, sir or madam @ 1315, it is I who now have hope for you! :))
Building bridges...
Wasn't that Dairy Queen in the Circuit City parking lot?
Isn't the one on the right Donald Humps wife Iwanna Hump?
Guys,
I viewed the above photo at 200%, the one on the left is even smaller and the one of the right is even larger!

What IS it with the movie The Mexican? That's been true ever since it came out.
I have magazines under my mattress with girls like that in it.

Get your facts straight. Graham Harrell signed with CLEVELAND.
Double Fake Brady Quinn
Skippy, everyone remembers the DQ at 114 and 1709 (the old alignment of 1709), back when both were two lane blacktops. I'm not sure if it was where the Colonial Savings or the McDonald's/Panda Express are now.
At the time, the next DQ was in Roanoke.
Gun Barrel Beverages was across 114 - I only remember being in that store once or twice, but do remember taking a nap in my folks' Caddy in the parking lot one time when I was too tired to drive home. A cop came and woke me up and bade me move along.
How about the old horse and livestock auction at White Chapel and 114? The flea market (oh the irony) that came after (that was run by the father of Southlake's former and perhaps future mayor)apparently finally closed last year. I remember attending one or two horse auctions there as a kid.
There used to be a YMCA day camp on the south side of 114, west of [present day] Kirkwood Blvd, east of Precinct Line, now part of Solana. Rode out there on a bus every day for a week, sometime in the, uh, '70s.
And for just a few years, there was a convenience store on the north side of 114, about where Sabre is now. I had a VW bus that threw a rod and coasted to a stop in their parking lot. Bummer.
According to RPM's blog, I guess I'd better go take my Centrum Silver now...
1119, yours may be dumber.......................................................................................
"he is so freakishly fast and strong that he might be able to play special teams"... umm Barry, dont kickers typically just play special temas?
Yes, I remember the Dairy Queen. It was across 114 from the Spinner's Pizza where I served my indentured servitude during high school.
