Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

  • Weather gal Tammy Dombeck wears some bright outfits. And I think she's getting hotter.
  • Fog is cool.
  • Sully was a lot cooler when he wasn't hawking his book.
  • I dreamed I bumped an older lady in a beat up van. She then explained the concepts of lawsuits to me. It went on for at least an hour, and I was saved only by my alarm.
  • I once had a discussion with a hardline Baptist who disagreed with me when I told her, "If your parents had been devout Catholics, you would be Catholic."
  • I'm not sure how this works, but I think I heard that the health care "bill" that was voted out of committee hasn't even been written -- it's just a series of concepts that were approved and now it will "be written up by the lawyers." (But I was only half listening to Sean Hannity when I heard this.)
  • I became interested in Jeffrey Dahmer yesterday.
  • I was watching a 1989 replay of Texas/OU last night and the color man said someone should invent a comfortable device that would somehow prevent ACL injuries. I'm surprised that doesn't exist.
  • And the replay was fun to watch because I had no idea who won. It was like watching a real Texas/OU game.
  • Life is incredibly monotonous.
  • My greatest flaw: I cannot remember faces. At all. It's a serious problem.
  • There's not enough time to watch and read everything I want. And I watch and read a a lot of things.
  • Did you see the Dale Hansen/Oprah Winfrey interaction? Awkward.
  • He's been retired for so long the right wing may not hate him anymore, but Judge William Wayne Justice is dead.

Perhaps an explanation of yesterday's fascination with Dahmer?

WWJ was devoted to applying the law how he saw fit...not unlike the vast majority of judges coming from both sides of the aisle.

Life isn't monotonous. You are. I could suggest several things you could do with your time that would change your perspective...and all of them would be helping the less fortunate among us.

Who won the '89 game. I only watched 6 plays last night but Texas was up at the end of the 3rd quarter. Hook 'em Horns!

Isn't all interaction with Winfrey awkward? I watch Hanson every night but don't think I could spend much time with him 1:1.

I thought T Dombeck was the traffic person. Shows how much I watch the news hoping for an accurate weather forecast.

You're just getting older, Barry!

Nah, they never forget someone they hate. Think party symbol

Peter Gardere was awesome - the only Texas QB to beat OU four times. (89-92)

DocLogic said...

I watched the OU / Texas 89 game as well and heard the ACL comment. Just laughed....sounded like the announcer thought an ACL was like a bruise or something.

Silly bubear, that is why you keep the skulls.

Many of WWJs rulings were great and awesome things which in some minds were overshadowed by dumb, wrong ones such as the one granting illegal's children the right to an education through high school.

Monotony? Get up from your desk the next clear day we have, walk out without saying a word and go to Skydive Texas and spend the day on the edge- cheating death. It will be anything but monotonous.

Who likes fog except Barry. I feel like Johnny Cash stuck in Folsom. I haven't seen the sunshine since I don't know when. I left Seattle 44 years ago and haven't looked back. I am looking forward to the ground drying a little so the fireants start repairing their tunnels and marking their mound locations for my all out assult. I then take my Orthene and go to war with them.

"Life is incredibly monotonous."
Totally disagree. Perhaps your life is, but not mine.

I like the way her mounds are marked! GEAUX TIGEERRRS!!!

Can't remember faces Barry?

Likely that all depends upon the client.

Collecting a big fee can stimulate the memory.

Jeffrey Dahmer??? Really?

9:10 that was funny.

Bart, if JD was still alive he'd be interested in you too and I would bet he'd have you over for dinner.

CAN'T REMEMBER FACES? Don't stare at their fly & smile, look them in the eyes.

Wouldn't it be something if those were real.

Life is great, and after periods of extreme stress, I welcome those periods of monotony! I like the fog, cold weather, and darkness, too. Would be happy not to see the sun till sometime next....year!

I saw Hanson and Winfrey and YES, it was strange to say the least. He acted like a silly school boy!! I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.... he babbled, rambled, and basically couldn't shut up. It was like he was in the presence of a god! Really really weird for a man of his age.

Just took the Wiki-Trip on your Dahmer link. Very disturbing...but somehow ended up on Phil Ryan (Texas Ranger), which brought a little more peace back to my day.

Simple solution, make a few changes to your diet.

PS, check the spelling of my name next time Bubear, you don't want me to discipline you.

I remember every face. It's names I have trouble with.

Barry--if you read the book "The Female Brain" you would learn that it's incredibly common for men to have a hard time with faces. From the time little boys are only months old, girls are already outpacing them at memorizing both faces and understanding the meaning behind facial expressions. It's just something we're better at. Consider yourself exceptionally dudish.

I read in the Dallas Morning News about a woman that took two buses and walked two miles to see Oprah in Victory Park. She said seeing Oprah was "God like"...

I wonder if that woman bothered getting out of bed Sunday morning and went to church.

I'm not a bible beater,over the top religous person, but saying that Oprah is "God like" says so much about why our world is the way it is.


So very sad.

Yea. That

Barry, why are you watching Channel 5 traffic? Is it because I'm not on Fox 4 on a regular basis anymore?

Anonymous said...

Hey genius,

Do ya think watching and reading lots of things (and wishing for time to do more of same) has anything to do with the perception that life is monoto-something?

Get off your ass and go do things. The skydiving guy is right.

Let's see: No wife, no kids, no hobby (blogs don't count) and a fascination with a serial killer.

You are a walking intervention looking for a wall

Wow! Todd Carruth posted on Barry's blog. I love you, Todd. Who cares about Barry. I'm the one that you want!
