- A Tarleton State football player has died due to a head injury received in practice. I remember writing last year that I thought someone would die from a head injury in the NFL, and someone commented, oddly, how that just wasn't possible.
- Upon review, those bystanders in the "neekid singer" video below sure don't look shocked. Almost makes you think they were in on it.
- I saw a guy get thrown in jail in district court in Decatur yesterday for failing to pay child support. But he had had a more than a couple of chances.
- I'm insane now: Little kids perform a two minute school play of Scarface (with popcorn substituted for the cocaine.) Edit: Not actually a school play.
- I've never been a fan of the old Dumb and Dumber movie, but they phrase "So you're telling me there's a chance" seems to be popping up more and more these days. (It's based on this 33 second clip.)
- I'm still confused as to the location of the motorcycle park where the Decatur student was killed on Sunday. Most media outlets referred to it as Denton County but the ranch's web site refers to itself as being in Decatur and has a map that looks like it's in Northeastern Wise County.
- The Feds seem to be arresting more and more people before something happens (whether it be a teenage Muslim with no capability of carrying out his threats or a bunch of Christian guys playing war in the woods.) It seems kind of like Minority Report without the assurances of the government being right.
- NBC 5's Kim Fischer is a strange girl. She called into 105 The Fan the other day and spoke about how she put a guy in a headlock in a bar after someone grabbed her butt. But it was the grabber's friend, who had made an aggressive move towards her boyfriend, who was the victim of the headlock.
- "I hate it when that happens," is waaaaaay past its retirement time.
- I don't think I have a lot of readers on this blog because it's necessarily good, I think it's more because of the fact that I'm consistently here.
- I like that Liberty Mutual commercial which shows random acts of kindness paid forward.
- Wow: A wrong way driver pleads guilty and receives 14 years in prison less than two months after the fatal wreck happened on I-75. What's the rush?

As to those wierdos calling themselves "Christian"--I'm reminded of a movie phrase you used to utter during voir dire--"Just because Mr. (character's name) says its so, doesn't make it so."
Don't sell yourself short BG. This blog is fun to read. But, I don't think I'd be here as often if it wasn't for the wonderful photography. It's also fun to read the cat fights in the comments section. I've thought it would be interesting to have a "Liberally LeanStock" type get together. But I'd be too worried that your Republican readers would bring guns and shoot the rest of us. Stay hard!!
Rocky Ridge Ranch, the place where the boy died, is actually in Denton County. It is on 51 just north of Slidell. All 911 calls from there (which happens often) go to Denton County. Which means that Sanger EMS gets, they usually contact Wise County and Slidell/Greenwood respond to.
What were those crazy Feds thinking, jumping the gun like that? So much easier to make a case against somebody when the charge is capital murder.
people read your blog because they find it interesting and informative all these little tidbits you write in your random thoughts are things most don't read themselves for whatever reason. And you are better than the newspsper.
You are a bloggin God Green.
How bout those Lady Bears!
Rocky Ridge is on the N side of 51 right before you go down in that low area with three bridges. A cell tower is also across from the entrance.
If you live around Slidell, you are actually considered Decatur. Slidell has a post office, but not a postal carrier. Decatur's postal carrier delivers our mail hence Decatur as the town. If you have a PO Box, Slidell is your town. It is very confusing unless you live here. Slidell is on the Wise and Denton Line.
I am not suprised by who the feds are arresting, just depends on who is in charge at the time. Repubs are in charge we take out Muslims, Dems are in charge we take out Christians...if we could just speed this process and get rid of both the world would be a much better place--and when I say both I meant the politicians and the religions.
* Any "sport" that, as a matter of course, generates an injury list is too dangerous to be considered anything but MORONIC.
* People who financially abandon their children should be sterilized to prevent them from doing the same to future children. If the deadbeats continue to neglect their children they should be be required to have DEADBEAT DAD/MOM tattooed on the top of their right hand. Parents who fail to financially support their children put their children at risk of all manner of dangers/suffering associated with poverty.
* I laughed really hard at the image of little kids snorting popped corn.
* Imagine that, we live in a world where dangerous words and actions have consequences. I hope people have come to realize that elections have consequences.
* To be really honest, I visit The Blog to participate in the FREAK SHOW COMMENTS. I love crazy people and Barry brings out the crazies. Jarhead and I have laughed and laughed and laughed at the loons on The Blog.
* If you like watching random acts of kindness on the Liberty Mutual commercial you should try the high of performing random acts of kindness. You would be amazed at the gratitude of people for whom you reach an item on a tall shelf, intentionally hold a door for someone elderly, with children/packages or buy a young child a treat, of the child's choice and parent's approval, off the rack at the checkout for being so well behaved while standing in a long line, mow the lawn of an elderly neighbour.
True story...A couple of months after 9/11, I was at the airport sending my Mr. off to Unsafastan and a 35ish guy was in front of Hubby in the screening line. The guy had forgotten to remove from his pocket the Swiss Army knife left him by his recently deceased father and was VERY distressed that the TSA guy was demanding he toss it in the bin. I interrupted and told the guy to give me his name, address and pocket knife and I would mail it to his address in a week so it would be waiting for him upon his return. He gave me the info and the knife with the endorsement of "I guess I don't have anything to lose by trusting you." A week later I mailed the knife and a note that said, do not worry about the postage just pay it forward. I only used my PO Box address, without a name, as the return address. About 2 years ago I received a note from the man telling me has never forgotten what I did for him and it changed how he thinks about people and acts toward people in need. No! I am not a superhero. I am just someone who knows we are here to help each other and abuse and beat, into submission, the people who just do not get it.
Barry, have you ever considered just taking a drive some time, to actually explore the area you live in? I guess you just do not realize that there are places beyond your world between Decatur, Bridgeport, and Ft. Worth. Try going north of Decatur some time, and you will see some lovely farm and ranch land, maybe a few wildflowers. But get your Starbucks and Whataburger before you leave, cuz you won't find them up there.
Mzchief...that would really make almost all major sports moronic....time to bust our the bowling shoes!
Is that the black Steve Irwin in the picture with that girl?
There are lots and lots of blogs out there, Barry, and I read only yours consistently and have told random friends about it as well. Don't sell yourself short!
Kudos to you 9:54 a.m. - the world needs more people like you!

Barry, your blog is great. All the little tidbits of news you have in your Random Thoughts. Yes you do stir up some crazies but they are fun to read, how idiotic some of them are. This is the only blog I read consistently. I hope it stays around for a long time to come.
Haaaaaaaaaa lmao
Although I have not seen the commercial, the thought of an insurance company doing random acts of kindness, let me catch my breath, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, giggle snort.
The only thing random about an insurance company is their ability to pay claims.
You, BG, are the blog master almighty!
Football guru
random _______ morning thoughts is the first thing i pull up on my iphone as i sit on toilet in the morning
So MzChief, gives us your thoughts on helping out the street creatures who are on every corner, e.g. Austin, do you pay that forward?
Not me, never. The begashauresrex (per Charlie Hodges on KLBJ) are becoming more aggressive. Its fun to be told to f*** off because I will not provide them a dime. Its even more fun to kick the crap out of them, except you might get the TB.
Feel good about helping those who need it but do not help those who could care less about helping themselves, unless you want to be a sucker.
Texan acting like a New Yorker.
10:51 You are so right. you said it perfect. Many people feel the same as you
Those Hutaree "militants" were doing more than just playing war in the woods. Just look at their website.
To anonymous 10:19...
Most sports teams do not produce an injury list the day after playing against an opponent.
*********************************
To anonymous 11:13...
I will NEVER help someone who refuses to help themselves. I, without remorse, ignore the parasites who feed on society and go on living my life.
Your blog is good except the random thoughts which are a beating because the comments from your readers are all over the place. AND ms.chief is a cold-hearted ***** which really takes away from the blog but hey, gotta take the bad with the good.
Mz...My point was any sport that can initiate contact between individuals or equipment such as balls, bats or hard floors is potentially dangerous, so by your definition moronic. The NFL requires teams to publish an injury report as does baseball, hockey, soccer, basketball..not sure about cricket and rugby but either way I am sure they produce a number of injuries as well. Anytime people are put into physical motion injury can occur, even death, but I wouldn't want to live a life without sport.
I myself am a golfer and I also weight train/cardio, swim, and run...had injuries doing all, I do plenty of stretching before I exercise and when I warm down. So by your definition all these things are moronic?
Too bad for the ray that his eyes are on the top of his body and he has to look at the dude holding him up instead of that tasty morsel on his right fin.

Your blog provides me with two good things: 1) news source and 2) a form of therapy, because I get to anonymously vent and get out my irritation and frustration on the blog! thanks for both. The only part I don't like is the pictures, but then I'm not a mid-life crisis male.
As for anyone who thinks you can't get killed by playing football obviously has been out of the loop for years.....football is incredibly dangerous and I detest it and think anyone who plays it is nuts.
"I don't think I have a lot of readers on this blog because it's necessarily good, I think it's more because of the fact that I'm consistently here."
Hey, it worked for McDonalds!
MZ talk about loons. LOL in reference to your associations you stated.
I'm going to be your friend
I'm not going to be your friend
I'm going to have a blog
I'm not going to have a blog
I'm going to allow everyone to visit my blog
I'm not going to allow everyone to visit.
LMAO
2:22 - What the hell are you talking about? MzChief has always had that stupid penguin game as her blog.
You know drunk or not, there isn't a part of "car accident" that equals 14 years in my mind.
12:57 Are you implying that BG has "blogability?"

If playing war in the woods involves an actual plot to fake a 911 call and kill the respondents; then maybe it's not a bad idea to step in before something happens.
What a very cute girl...and a very dark man.
If you travel up 51 toward Gainesville, you are driving in a northeasterly direction and shortly after passing the Slidell cutoff (FM 455), you angle through the extreme northwest corner of Denton County for about two or three miles before entering the Southwest corner of Cook County. Rocky Ridge lies on the west side of 51 just before you hit the Cook County line just south of Clear Creek.
That looks like master Shake!
DAGO;John H may you meet the next drunk driver and have time to remember yout totally stupid remark.
I read it because you always give me the latest from Fox News, and appreciate hearing the truth! THANK YOU, BARRY!
This blog is a must read to get a sense of the Wise Co mentality (or lack thereof). You stimulate and others react - many predictably. One thing I believe anyone can take from this is, we all have opinions but in the overall scheme of the universe - we don't really have very much influence on the outcome.
