- I'll plug it again: Tosh.0 is really, really funny.
- The Boyd school board voted 4-3 to buy out Superintendent Greg Stone's contract last night. Seems like a waste of money.
- Showgirls, starring Jessie from Saved By The Bell. is on cable all the time lately. That is one crazy movie as well as a career killer.
- The NFL Draft begins on Thursday night this week -- a change from its normal Saturday morning start. I like that. Except it means I'll still have the life force sucked out of me by ESPN's Chris Berman. Edit: Oops. I'm a sports idiot. It's next Thursday.
- I ate Lunchables on my hiking trip last weekend. That was a first for me. Maybe a last, too.
- Came across an April, 1997 edition of the Messenger yesterday which corresponded to the first race weekend ever at Texas Motor Speedway. I giggled when I read that car decals were available for the residents of Rhome and Boyd "to show police they are home folks so they can get up and down the streets in their own hometown."
- Almost no one watched the Masters last weekend in the metroplex. On Saturday, we ranked 56 of the 56 largest media markets in the country.
- Why wouldn't I be surprised if Phil Mickelson now finds himself in some kind of scandal.
- I've seen absolutely no bluebonnets along 287 from Decatur to Fort Worth.
- The story about the Fort Worth teen who was shot in his home after going home for lunch with his sister seems odd. Cops are saying he walked in on a burglary in progress, but it just seems there's more to it.
- Show my a press conference by a DA announcing he won't press charges (i.e. Ben Roethlisberger case yesterday), and I'll show you a DA who is grandstanding and a publicity hog.
- Even though the laws against DWI are the strictest on the books, I can see them getting tougher based upon the recent number of deaths making the news. It's been crazy lately.
- For limited audience: If you like college football, look at this run by a freshman from USC in their spring game. Oh, my.
- Sean Hannity always rants and raves that the Tea Party is not made up of only disgruntled white men, but then he throws his own "Freedom Concerts" (cue eagle noise) and has Lynyrd Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels serve as the headliners.
- Still nothing compelling above the fold today:

The draft is next Thursday Buddy!!! U might want to check that
Lots of Bluebonnets on 114 from Trophy Club to Grapevine. Your morning gal is a little on the Skanky side.
Sometimes, I worry about your intelligence MR GREEN.
The tailback from USC looks great (surprise). But that Left Tackle that pulled and took out what appears to be (tough to see from the alignment) a Defensive Back a Linebacker AND a Defensive Lineman on the play is the real star.
Just wandering if the WC Update was going to say anything about the latest district track meet results for middle school? Track meet was this past Saturday in Vernon. Decatur Middle School won MANY awards including overall 1st place 7th and 8th grade girls. The 8th grade boys also won 1st place - 7th grade boys won 3rd place. Almost a clean sweep. Way to go DMS athletics - Girls and Boys! I guess they do have an awesome athletic program. Sorry for such negative comments last time.
Tosh.O is good stuff.....I got turned to it about a month ago and DVR and watch every episode now. If you are on the net a lot, the web redemptions are hilarious. And Tosh is funny as hell.
WCM SUCKS!
Showgirls is being shown quite a bit. And WHY you may ask? Yes they are making a Showgirls 2. The first one one was so Great they decided for another run at it. Showgirls: The Return, With Barbara Voice, Vanessa Hill, Tomina Steel.
287 toward Bowie is loaded with Bluebonnets
People who do not understand the VAST difference between being a supporter of the Tea Party Movement and being a fan of Hannity need to stop drinking the Liberal Kool-Aid and educate themselves.
Mzchief: why do you exist?
Tosh.O is terrible, it is like a hybrid cross of America's Funniest and Web Soup, with the host only slightly funnier than Bob Saget. Talk about idiocracy, to me this is proof that idiocracy is already here. Sad to say is that I am in the demographic for this one...it is about one step above reading the National Enquirer. If this is what you consider comical I guess it explains a lot.
Why can't UT get a running back like that??? Wait, maybe they do, then Greg Davis ruins them! ! !
On Hwy 51 between 114 and Springtown there are a ton of bluebonnets. 287 to Bowie at Sunset there is alot too. So beautiful!
Tosh rules!!!
Re the insurance profit story on the front page of the DMN:
I am a firm believer in free enterprise & profit as the next red blooded American, but I have grown mighty tired of big insurance (ALL big insurance) wringing their hands each year about the high cost of doing business. Having cried wolf, they then announce record profits for the company and extra bonuses to management. If storms strike, or your car is in an accident, or you experience catastrophic illness, rates will rise in the next rate year to cover the added underwriting cost. No claims made in a year? Well, sorry but the rates NEVER come down voluntarily, unless forced by a rate commission. To the best of my knowledge, no insurance company doing business in Texas has ever filed for bankruptcy (unless it was looted by thieving management criminals). Sorry for the rant, but big corporate insurance really sets me off.
My Other Brother Darryl
Other Brother...just wait untill Big Brother gets ahold of your healtcare checkbook, Big Insurance will seem like bitching about an ant bite when an alligator is got you in his grasp.
I can't wait to see who the next moron is that they hire for a Supt. in Boyd. They just ran off the only educator they have had since Howard and Ware resigned. If Phil wants to increase readership for the WCM, what happens next should provide lots of fodder. It is just a shame what they are comdemning their young people to. The four who voted the last supt. out shouldn't be allow to run an outhouse, much less a school.
Re: Boyd, no they didn't just buy out his contract. He voluntarily resigned and I am sure there is a lot we don't know and will never know about what happened. As I understand it the terms of the agreement had not been signed yet. I hope everything here in our school district will soon go back to normal. It has been controversy ever since the majority of board members decided not to extend Mr. Stones contract.
playing golf is lazy enough; watching golf on tv takes laziness to a whole new level. congrats to the metroplex on coming at 56 of 56.
Showgirls is undeniably one of the worst movies ever made but the acting is so bad when it comes on I can't stop watching it. It's like a sad spoof of a dramatic movie. Plus I want to wear Elizabeth Berkley's backside as a hat.
1:55 - it's obvious you have never played golf!! I don't play, but went along one time with a friend. Talk about a workout! We were on our feet walking the whole day! Lots of sports are high intensity for a short amount of time. Golf may be less on intensity, but it is a prolonged exercise as it takes hours to do! Maybe you should give it a try before you say it is for lazy people. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing any fat pro-golfers, as opposed to the fat football players!!!!
Ed Bark disagrees with your assessment of the Masters ratings:
Sunday's final round of The Masters on CBS averaged 325,742 viewers, peaking at an American Idol/Dancing With the Stars-sized 481,827 viewers between 4 and 4:15 p.m.
-from unclebarky.com
Why is it we learned more about the firing of the Boyd supt than we did about Decatur supt leaving?
5:27 did you see the mantits on the winner of this year's masters?
Tosh.0 is greatness.
