Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • Motorcycle death on Airport Freeway last night.
  • Did you see Dallas DA Craig Watkins yelling at the County Commissioners about a budget issue? Do you have no decency, sir? (Great photo of if.)
  • Today the Dallas PD is going to release a video of a "police beating" of a fleeing motorcyclists that occurred in September. It sounds like it's going to be bad. Real bad.
  • Was told that the Principal of Byron Nelson High who is involved in the kid-didn't-smoke-dope "crisis" was a long term teacher at Boyd. 
  • A Letter to the Editior in today's Messenger, says that Obama "cancelled the National Day of Prayer" in 2009. That's not true.
  • The next Letter dogs Republicans for not wishing to debate and said such was the case in the 2008 Wise County DA's race. That's not true either.
  • What happens when all these gas pipelines and couplings get old? It will happen. (Just thinking of the neighborhood that blew up in California last weekend.)
  • A woman walks into Walgreen'swearing nothing but a thong and whip cream? Cool. Uh...not so much. (She's definitely not the chick from Varsity Blues.)
  • Saw a respected lawyer at a hearing yesterday not know one of the basic rules. Why? He was handling something outside his area of expertise. That's how you can get into trouble. 
  • I'll get an update on the Deaf Defendant Case. 
  • Reggie Bush returned the Heisman Trophy last year --- proving, at least, that he has a smart PR person and that he listens. (He probably would have been stripped of it any way.)   But can't we still refer to him as "the guy who was awarded the Heisman in 2005?"
  • I need some housebreaking tips for the family unit's Yorkie.  Working with a portable-kennel-cage looking thing, but that dog just doesn't understand that when I take her outside she's supposed to get down to business. If she could only be like Veronica.
  • I've been trying to boycott the Mexican reporter who claims she was sexually harassed by the Jets because I've focused on her a lot in the past. Here's why.
  • Mrs. LL stays up too late. Mrs. LL had to take a Benadryl last night at 9:00. Mrs. LL was out like a light before 10:00 p.m. I'll be practicing slipping those little pills into her drink for the rest of the week. 
  • Edit: Wow. Saw the obituary in the Update of an old Bridgeport High School friend.

They run smart pigs in the pipelines that show where dammange is to the pipes, and the gas companies go out and fix the problem areas! Some companies like to save money and skip all the proper safety quidelines!

I Think she's in my clan!

I knew I had seen pics of the sportscaster before! Should have known it was on here.

I just heard a Fox interview with her on the radio and she's saying it was no big deal and she was ok with what happened but the other press turned it into a big deal.

Ever flip thru those Mexican TV channels? Hmmm. Those channels are covered with programs that are risque. And the reporters make sure they show plently of curves.

That Mexican reporter is illegal anyway and needs to go back to Mexico.

Wait outside the locker room.

Attention whore.

Craig Watkins=Dallas county's answer to Todd Durden

Line from thong/whipped cream story:
“She said that if she did this at Sturgis, no one would look twice at her,” he said.
After taking a look at her mug shot, I'm inclined to believe her!

"Saw a respected lawyer at a hearing yesterday.."

You kidding me?

Did you mean damage or damn mange? Pipelines get mange?

Jack Daniels said...

Craig Watkins and John Wiley Price need to step out back and have a pistol duel and both loose.

Reporter is HOT tho

I have seen some of those Spanish TV channels. Even the women hosting kid's shows barely have anything on. Don't understand a word that they are saying, but it sure is fun to watch!

Double amen to Jack Daniel's pistol duel scenario!!

The Devil said...

It is all about the schedule with your little doggie, make sure you feed her on schedule, take her out on schedule and when she has an accident give her a "no" in a firm voice while pointing at the mess...and don't rub her nose in it! Pretty soon she will get it. It may also help to take one of her poops outside and leave it for the next time you take her out, dogs often will get accustomed to going in the same area of the yard...it is a territorial thing.

8:41 Who breeds and trains the smart pigs?

FYI..Yorkies don't housebreak well at all!
Their bladders are the size of a BB anyway.

9:47, They are trained at Texas A&M.

Yep, Byron Nelson High principal Linda Parker and her husband who is also a Northwest ISD employee used to teach/coach at Boyd ISD and still live in Boyd.

I don't believe USC and the individuals involved were punished sufficiently for cheating. College football and other sports will continue to suffer such incidents until the punishment for getting caught makes it not worth the risk. Someone else did not get to win the Heisman, another team did not get to compete against Texas for the championship, another school and conference did not get the TV and licensed product sales revenues, other fans did not get to see their team in the championship game, the ramifications go on and on. Bush's only punishment is to give back the trophy itself, and many, like you, will still refer to him as "the guy who was awarded the Heisman in 2005?". I don't know of any other individuals involved who were forced to accept any responsibility. Well, I guess Pete Carroll's W-L record was corrected, big deal, he's in the NFL now. The lion's share of punishments are suffered by those involved in USC's program going forward, after Bush, Carroll, et al, are long gone.

Keep your dog in the kennel at all times, even to eat. And take her outside to use the bathroom and only wait about 5 min and if she hasn't gone then put her back in her kennel. If she does go then you can leave her out for a little to play with you but you must watch her! We did this with all of our dogs and they've all learned really quickly. If you stick to it, it should only take about a week. It seems to take longer for Terrier breeds for some reason but it shouldn't be too long.

My friend trained her Yorkie by attaching a bell by the door and the dog goes over and hits the bell to be let out. Took lots of time to train it though.

Yorkie's take more time than lots of other breeds. Crating them most of the time is what you have to do, as they try not to mess their crates. Then you take her outside immediately after uncrating her. IF she goes, praise her highly. If she goes inside, scold her gently (no hitting, no sticking her nose in it) by saying firmly "no no" "go potty outside" and then immediaely scoop her up and take her outside to show her where "outside" is. Takes a long time for those pups, I hear, and total consistency by all in the household. If she's out of the crate, you have to watch her 24/7 so that you can run outside with her if she piddles. Once my dogs got it, it was great, but takes the patience of Job.

You're so screwed with a Yorkie...I understand they're renowned for being hard to housetrain (source: a mutual Friend who had them and swore off for that reason). I'd invest in those little indoor diapers and strategically placed pads on carpet target areas.

Cute litte dogs, but peepee'ers from hell...:(

seriously, the mexican reporter asked for all the attention with the whorish clothes she wears.. I saw the fox report, too. Puh-leeeeze..she is loving all the attention..slut. What do you expect when you dress like that and go into a locker room?? She asked for it.
I love it when I wear clothes that get catcalls..just saying. But I don't do wear them to work.

There is a old pipeline that runs from the north to the south close to Old DHS that was hand dug and has bolted coupling installed in 1918. runs right in the middle of mustang creek addition and lipsey addition. That make ya feel safe?

You are an idiot!

A woman wearing tight clothing no more makes her a "slut" than you being able to use the Interweb makes you intelligent.

People like you are what is wrong with the world and make me fear for the future of civilization.

I read 4:32's post again, and in her defense, she never said what you accused her of:

Crate train her when you are busy. She needs to learn that peeing outside = freedom inside. If she goes outside, then praise her. I kept a leash on mine tucked in between cushions where I was sitting. That way I could watch my puppy. If he changed on what he was doing, time to go outside. That way if you catch her in the act, you can tell her firm no.
