- The "trouble putting on condiments" Budweiser commercial is pushing the limits, isn't it?
- 2012 made $65 million over the weekend to lead the box office. I guess the world really is coming to an end.
- Guy drives a krillion dollar car into a Texas lake. Accident? Video.
- My entertainment chasm between college football and pro football is growing. If it weren't for Fantasy Football, I might not watch the latter.
- I always hate it when someone uses the phrase "the latter" or "the former."
- Unfortunate Longhorn name.
- There was a "breaking news" post this morning in the Update about the chief and assistant chief of Boyd's volunteer fire department resigning. Unless there's a heck of a back story, why is that important?
- Tony Romo's weird hat looks cool when they win and goofy when they lose.
- The conservatives are upset about trying the 9/11 mastermind in a federal court in New York? What's to fear?
- The Blind Side movie looks like it might be a little too "perfect." Take in a troubled youth and it's all roses with a wildly successful ending?
- All the TCU hoopla on Saturday would have seemed more legitimate if a really good team had come to town. That 20 point favorite thing bugged me.
- The commercial where the family each points the TV clicker/changer at each other is kind of funny -- at least when grandma walks in, shakes her head, and then leaves.
- I missed most of the crazy New England/Indianapolis game last night but watching the Bill Belicheck press conference afterwards was tense. (He went for it on 4th and 2 deep in his own territory when he was ahead by 6. It failed. Badly.)
- I cleaned the house like crazy this weekend - from the garage to the baseboards to the bathrooms. It's oddly satisfying to do that.
- Horrific: A 17 year old girl backs over her toddler brother by mistake in Oak Cliff. I hate, hate, hate those stories.
- The TCU two finger bent hand symbol is a little goofy. But maybe it's because I haven't seen it a whole lot in the past.
- A clerk in a convenience store asked me this morning if the Cowboys won last night (as I was looking at the front page of the paper). She couldn't possibly have cared, right?
- Yep, I know, a little football intensive this morning.

You cleaned the whole house like crazy...Are you pregnant?
How exciting,the pitter patter of little dingle Barry feet about the house is wonderful.
Who's the Daddy?
Barry, your psychotic hatred of the Frogs is disturbing. Yet it's typical for a fan of the Big 12 to refuse to recognize any team as legitimate unless they beat the Longhorns.
Sadly, this Frog team will not likely get a chance to prove themselves in the BCS title game due to the pig-ignorant prejudice of people like yourselves. I guarantee you that if the Longhorns had stepped on the field in Amon Carter Stadium last Saturday, they would have gotten drilled by the Frogs.
But since there is no playoff system for Division I college football, we will never know which team is better.

Quit hatin' on TCU. You're just jealous because we've accomplished in one year what Baylor can't do in 50! Hand signal way cooler than the hand in the air Baylor uses. Come to the purple side BuBear, we don't disappoint!
Unfortunate Longhorn name = BEVO
Two finger hand gesture from TCU = Gimpy
Is there still enough room on the TCU bandwagon? If so i want a seat "IF" the win out and actually play someone good in a bowl game. If not, then they are just this years Tech.
PS. The Baylor Bear hand gesture is kind of weak too!
TCU did play a really good team: they were ranked #16 nationally, won their conference the last two seasons, and beat the Frogs the last two seasons as well. I think the fact that they started a freshman QB with 1(?) game worth of experience was a deciding factor
Personal experience has shown that most convenience store clerks ask questions not because they want info, but because they just like to talk...and talk...and talk. Especially at night
The Boyd VFD resignations are a big deal because now you've got nobody calling the shots - at a fire dept.! A small volunteer dept, true - but that's a very important component to the safety of any community
"Take in a troubled youth and it's all roses with a wildly successful ending?"
I don't know the details of the story, but the kid managed to go from homeless to pro football player. So, yeah, smells like roses to me
If a car costs a krillion bucks, seems like it should at least be submersible, a la James Bond, right?
the TV...clicker?!
How can you be so tech-savvy and still call it the clicker?
Decatur Girls Cross Country team defied the odds of repeating/defending a championship by winning BIG @ state championship Saturday! Way to go girls!
Did anyone see the article in the Dallas Morning News Sunday (page 30A) titled, "Danger Underfoot With Artificial Turf?". This new turf is made with recyled tires. LOTS of nasty chemicals go into rubber. New Jersey has some issues. EPA to conduct a study. Texas UIL still endorses. Maybe it's a GOOD thing the Decatur Bond didn't pass.....maybe these fields aren't such a great thing?
"The TCU two finger bent hand symbol is a little goofy. But maybe it's because I haven't seen it a whole lot in the past."
It's only 2 bent fingers away from the Baylor "bear claw," isn't it?
Sometimes I think you might be fucking retarded, Green.
That is all.
Carry on.
"New Jersey has some issues. EPA to conduct a study."
Understatement of the week - and it's only Monday!

If you wait until after TCU wins out to jump on the bandwagon - not only will you miss the bandwagon, but the entire parade will have passed you by. And you'll be standing there in the street trying to dodge the horse chunks. TCU has been working on BCS-busting ever since Patterson rode into town.
They're quite possibly "the little engine that could", AND the hometown team, even if you live in the outlying area
Nice job picking the girls this morning.
According to Obamathink, absolutely nothing at all can possibly go wrong by trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in New York. The judge and jurors (and their families) surely won't receive any sort of threats. Yippee! A judge gets the chance to throw out the case because Mohammed wasn't read his Miranda rights! Even with limited discovery, the defense gets to publicize (or pass along to the nearest terrorist) American security secrets! Plus, since the trial likely will last for at least 2-3 years, it will put George Bush and his administration "on trial" just in time for the 2012 Presidential election! From an Obama point of view, this shapes up to be a perfect storm of goodness.
Am I missing something?....what's the deal on all the posts with numbers only?
The 9/11 trial, where would they prefer to have it? I would rather have it anywhere but here. Hell, even the Ft. Hood shooter better be tried somewhere else, that will be a religious firebox. The "rights" of Muslims cannot be infringed in any way or they make Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton step back and say "damn, that's extreme"
The Islamic faith knows they get preferential treatment and take advantage of it. Stand up Christians before (might be) too late!
Wonder who will carry on Liberally Lean when Barry moves on to the Great Baylor Stadium in the Sky?
Hey Jar,
Don't mince words, tell us how you really feel... lmao
Speaking of feeling, those spit shined young ladies are very well endowed. I had no idea there were so many exotic entertainers in America... I wish they would advertise their venue.
I think they also call the TCU symbol a camel toe.
Good thing that person was filming nondescript bodies of water and service roads when that car happened to come up alongside and splash. Let's face it, that's some sort of set up...a youtube fame grabbing moment that unfortunately will end up with some idiot getting to go on Jay Leno or something....that's our society
th numbers are a ranking system for the girls 1-not as attractive
10- very attractive. the order of numbers relates to the order of girls usually left to right. as in
8.5 , 8.25
for todays girls

First Off- My Husband likes there Gray/Blue Beenies the Cowboys (Romo) wears.
Second- It is sad to see a commerical like the one about the family pointing the remotes at each other. Televison has taken over there lives and it is like there is nothing else to do. They need to watch the commerical about Family Game Night..That's what is wrong with families today,Parents pond there kids off on tv and do not spend any time with them. When they get older and the kids do something wrong, Parents are wondering what did I do wrong???
UMMM DUH!! Not spend time with the children..sex talk, drug talk, right from wrong talk!!
Lemme guess-- the Random Pic is from "Mother-Daughter Night" at the Showtime Club on LaSalle in Waco, right? Or is it from Two Minnies?
agreed - the boyd volunteers quiting is far far from breaking news. it might be some brief buried in a paper, but "breaking news"? the paper as really gone down the tank since the start of the year, but now that the paper only covers accidents from time to time and rarily the ones we have at night and on the weekends which are real breaking news, this paper should just go to a freebie thrown in yards because its not much better than the thing they mail for free on wednesdays
barry, i am disappointed in your lack of halloween pictures this year. musta been slim pickins in these hard economic times
Somebody got a little too worked up about the TV "clicker" commercial.
It's not a documentary, madam. They're just trying to get you to purchase their product. No subtext involved
And it's "pawned", not "pond"
Barry:
I'm slightly offended that you didn't censor Jarhead's comment. While I defend his right to view his opinion (and in this case, agree with it) the expletive was over the line. My imaginary kids read this blog!
My house got cleaned really good yesterday evening also. My daughter did it. She is a professional cleaner.
I watched a little football this weekend and was interested in the announcers telling which college the pro players attended. They say something like "out of Texas" or "out of Texas Tech". Since few graduate can I assume that "out of" really means flunked out of? They also say "he attended OU". Does that mean he was there but got no degree? I wish they would give their grade point average and the number of semester hours that they completed. Maybe also give their major.
1:13
Why don't you give us some data to back up your "few graduate" claim? What percentage is "few"?
Most of us (the ones that watch football every weekend) know that "out of" is footballspeak for "graduated from". It's used for college players as well, to denote what high school they attended. But nobody makes the assumption that high school players didn't get a diploma.
Plus, a college degree isn't a prerequisite for playing pro football. And flunking out of school would make you academically ineligible to play
If you want to know somebody's life story, watch the Biography Channel. A football game mostly deals with football
...LOL..(1:13).
If they published the GPA and majors of NFL players it would be like posting the IQs of the RNC members. LMAO!!! DFL (Democrat for Life)
2:06, I knew the answer before bringing up the subject because I read about such things. So here is a source if you care to look for the truth:

I've been on the TCU bandwagon since 1975. This was definitely worth the wait.
I was listening to a movie critic the other day who challenged anyone to name a movie in the last 10 years that was worse than 2012. Nobody could.
Unfortunate Longhorn name = BEVO
Someone look into how 'Bevo' got his name...
Something about a 13-0 loss A&M put on them way back...
Who ever figures it out wins a cookie!
Attention Wise County convenience store clerks, sandwich store employees, and other low paid help. Attention!
Do not make any attempt at conversation with little lord Barry or face his wrath on the internet! No nickel in the tip jar for you!
TCU should adopt the hook'em horns index/pinkie fist, but point it downwards. Kind'a like the crips do with the inverted 3 fingers to mock the blood's pitchfork gang sign (or is it the other way?).
Am I the only one that noticed Chico ISD wasted $75,000 of taxpayers' money to fire the football coach?
Skank². Or is it skankž?
