Somehow I picture you eventually living up there in solitude...
That's not a punching bag, that's Quasimodo's hump!
THE BELLS! THE BELLS!
Triple Fake Esmeralda
Several years ago, I went up to the lookout area, above the bell tower. I think that is where it was. The view ona a clear day is absolutely incredible!! You almost don't notice the pigeon poop you're standing in when you're up there.
Perhaps, Decatur will be kind enough to donate the punching bag to the George Allen Courthouse in Dallas in an attempt to keep things civil between the judges.
Are you sure it's just an old punching bag? I'd rip it open and check for bones or somethin'.
I find this pic must more interesting than those of fake girl parts in bikinis (I know...I'm the minority). Have always wanted to see the upstairs of the Court House. Very cool.
what? no quips about batson d. belfry? come on blazing saddles fans, where are you?
I remember our Cub Scout Troop taking a tour up there way back in the '70's. It was full of bird poop then, too.
why are you in the attic?
That's what I'd like to know too 12:17, why the attic?
12:17 & 12:37 because he's still in the closet!
WOW! Everyone's missing that mzchief actually made a funny comment without putting any commentors down. Way to go mzchief! I'm shocked and impressed.
When u look out of the tower the Decatur streets look so straight and imperfect.

Barry, do you ever work?
To anonymous 12:57....
WOW! What a shame you are, seemingly, incapable of following a good example.
.
Incidentally, I feel better about myself when people like YOU are NOT impressed by ME.
did they find nude photos of the mayor?
Stay out of Judge Cude's office.
Boy, do those pics bring back memories. I used to play in that elevator as a kid. Would go to the top of the courthouse all the time and hang out over those itty bitty walkways there. I wasn't smart enough then to realize the danger in that. Always thought if I were up there when that bell sounded, it would deafen me. Finally happened, and surprisingly, the "clang" wasn't much louder than when I hear it on the street below on the square. That winding staircase always scared the beejeebers out of me though!! We (friends) used to sit on it and watch the elevator go up and down... spooky movie stuff! ha! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
damn mzchief, learn to take a compliment
To anonymous 3:18....
Forgive me for not recognizing your comment, at 12:57, as nothing more than an artless attempt at a compliment and viewing it as an equally artless attempt at a dig submitted by a jealous, petty twit.
.
Like I stated in my 1:54 comment; I feel better about myself when people like YOU are NOT impressed by ME.
PAY NO ATTENTION to the anonymous commenters, Mzchief!! Have you forgotten already? I guess you have not taken your meds today.
To anonymous 4:12....
There you go, again, begging for validation and attention from me.
Sucks to be you!*LOL@U*
Thanks for the assumption and the insult, but I (3:18) wasn't 12:57. I am, however, beginning to agree with them on how you take any opportunity you can to belittle and insult anybody. You might possibly one day decide to evaluate yourself before imposing harshness upon others when most of what you say applies to yourself.
4:31,
All you had to say was "I'm rubber, you're glue..."
To anonymous 4:31....
Since all of you cowardice, petty anonymous commentors look alike you can hardly blame me for not being able to keep track of which one of you posts which snide remark.
Honestly, who do YOU think you are advising someone to accept a snide comment as a compliment? Are you so simple minded that you would take the advice of anonymous commentators on a blog? I hope not. Obviously, I am far too intelligent and self assured to care what a bunch of no-name jealous twits think and say about me.
*StillLOL@U*
To Jarhead/Mr. Okra....
*LOLHysterically*Start your own flame war. These petty twits are mine.
*SMuG GRiN*
mzchief, if you are so obviously intelligent and self assured to care what commenters think, why are you so willing to take what is so obviously bait from them? Please, this is not an invite to jump on my ass, just an honest question as to why if you don't care you still feel the need to defend yourself.
I snuck up into the bell tower of the Tarrant County courthouse once (don't ask) and was poking around just to see what was going on, climbed a ladder up to the belfry, and was SURPRISED AS H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY STICKS when the bell rang at four o'clock.
Dang, that thing was so, so loud. I about jumped out of my skin.
And then I went down to the street where I left my car and had a parking ticket. That was worse.

Trust me on this one- You'll die a violent death one day and God won't recognize your bitter countenance at the pearly gates
To moma247....
I enjoy toying with the petty twits. Seriously, this is entertainment. I have, privately, told Barry and other commentors to Barry's Blog what a kick I get out of pissing off people just by being me and we have voiced amazement at how easily it is done solely by me being me. Trust me, there are countless people who enjoy front row seats watching me Smack The Twits/Hammer The Haters. Think about it, if Barry did not find it entertaining, do you honestly believe Barry would post their snide comments and my slamming rebuttals? Smack The Twits is a fun game that some truly enjoy watching me execute.
.
I am the PERFECT trial and lesson for petty twits who encounter people with whom they dislike and/or disagree and lack the skills to ignore. Intelligent, well adjusted people ignore people they dislike and do not seek out their attention and gain personal validation through that attention. Take this blog post for instance. I posted a witty comment about the punching bag and some petty twit offers a snide comment tantamount to; You are dressed so well today. It is nice to see you do not look like your usual slutty self. Then some other anonymous person attempts to deride me for not properly accepting a "complement" and now YOU claim to be seeking insight as WHY I respond? The answer is simple, it is too much fun NOT to respond to twits and haters.
.
Say what you will about me, I have NEVER launched a snide remark/bitch slapping toward ANYONE unless they have started something with me or are being an absolute douche-bag to another commentor. Nine out of ten times I NEVER direct a comment to ANYONE unless they have first directed their comment toward me or a conversation with which I am involved. Prove me wrong and cite a single time I have EVER called out or referenced a single hater PRIOR to their seeking my attention. You will not because you cannot.
.
As for the petty twits saying they rattle my cage. It is impossible for them to rattle my cage because I have no idea who they are because they are anonymous. I, on the other hand, have an alias to which they can attach their disdain, thus, it is I who rattle their cage EVERY time I post a comment and I love it. The moment they stop responding to ANY of my comments is the moment I will know, they have FINALLY gotten over me being me and gotten on with them being them.
Barry has posted on his business website one of the BEST most HONEST tenets of life and living and one which the haters would be best served to comprehend and apply the quote to THEIR lives and day to day interaction with other people.

No, I did not go into this level of detail because I am desperate to explain myself and be accepted by ANYONE on this blog because I will NEVER willingly encounter any of you whom I do not already know. I have gone into this amount of explanation because YOU asked the question and I want to make certain YOU understand my position. To be honest, I am just really detailed almost to the point of being OCD.
When we were in college at DBC (Decatur Baptist College), Charles Wilhite took my boyfriend and I up in the courthouse! We still remember it today after 45 years of marriage (to each other)! That was a nice walk down memory lane!
Thanks!
Looks like Judge B. M.(snicker snicker) has found a place to go vent...lol

Thanks for your honesty and the insight. As for your 11:10 comment, I got a little laugh out of it, and a laugh is always nice.
To anonymous 6:10...Perhaps, that will be the case with the vicious, unforgiving psychotic/sociopathic god you worship. However, the God I worship is forgiving, loving and accepting of human frailty. You fail to understand, I am not held to the narrow understanding of God as are people like you. Oh, just a reminder, according to the Christian Big Book of Myths and Fables only God knows who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and it is not the place of humans to speculate on who may or may not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I believe there is something about those who speculate about someone else's ability to enter Heaven are denied enterance into the Kingdom of Heaven.
.
Incidentally, did you just threaten me with a violent death? If so, there are people who would be VERY interested in your threat via the Internet/telephone.
Now, Mzchief.....did you just get offeneded because you say someone "threatened you?" I believe it was YOU who told someone to off himself just the other day, yet when I brought your attention to that very RUDE comment, you passed it off as just a little joke. Yep, you talk out of both sides of your mouth all the time. Seems you can't even keep up with yourself anymore. Must be age catching up with you. I hope you find yourself on the end of a suit for telling someone to off him/herself on this internet. The rantings you leave on this blog over and over sure wouldn't speak well in your defense.
As for "rattling cages"......only MONGRELS such as yourself have to be in cages, that's why you can't rattle our cages, because the only Mongrel on here is YOU.
~~~~rattle~~~~ ~~~~rattle~~~~
To anonymous 9:23....
There is a VAST difference between telling someone they need to go kill themselves and someone threatening someone with a violent death.
.
I did not get any further in your rant so I have no reaction to the rest of your comment.
.
Clearly, you really are DESPERATE for my attention. Get back to work and stop stealing from your employer.
.
Still Sucks To Be YOU!
haha...had to come back here for more, did ya Mz? LOL!! soooo predictable! AND, again, you are so very wrong....... What makes you think I am at work? I'm just like you, plenty well off and don't need to work. I just don't "brag" about it.
by the way:
YOU SAID :
Think about it, if Barry did not find it entertaining, do you honestly believe Barry would post their snide comments and my slamming rebuttals?Get this: Barry posts all of your snide comments and our slamming rebuttals too! What could that mean????????? hahahaa!!
~~~~rattle~~~~ ~~~~rattle~~~~
And, if you really think there is a vast difference in what you said about offing one's self, you might want to ask that mother who went through all kinds of hell when she told her child's "friend" to off herself......and she did. Surely you remember that. In fact, I believe she was found to be GUILTY!
To anonymous 10:21....
*StillLOL@U*.
I did not need to read a SINGLE WORD of your reply to know you are PATHETIC.
.
Sucks To Be You!
Yeah? But you certainly came BACK AGAIN to see my comment. Stop saying you didn't read it... how ridiculous!
Again... I'm off to my life. You don't have one, so you stay here and play on the computer. Ok?
Ta Ta.... to my unarmed opponent in this battle of wits!
mzchief... I LOVE YOU!!!
mzchief wheels are falling off.
I used to laugh as she did the very thing she ranted that others do on this blog.
But now it's getting boring, tiresome and a bit pathetic.
Ahem...While you were being a jealous, petty twit, coming back time and time again to see if I had bothered to respond to your sad little jabs, I was out living my life. I had a great time getting an MRI of my back, hanging with friends, buying new shoes, body lotion and a new swimsuit. As luck and being in good shape would have, I am healing quite well.
.
As for reading your dreck. I did not even bother. Seriously, you are best ignored.
*StillLOL@U*
mzchief is the only person on here that feels the need to tell anonymous posters how she spent her day.
She spends a lot of time trying to convince all us anonymous posters how wonderful her life is. Why does she care? Why does she think we care?
very odd.
There you go again, mzchief; "ignoring" the anonymous comments.
It must be exhausting to "ignore" them so often. : )
ahhh...i remember going up there with my girlscout troop. what good times. being an innocent little girl was the best.
