- What a great Aggie/Oklahoma State game last night. (Hey, Ags, your quarterback is a knucklehead, and you would have won that game going away if you hadn't turned the ball over a million times.)
- Repaving on 287 caused traffic to be backed up for two miles south of Decatur late yesterday afternoon.
- Now it's October. (I didn't get chewed out because the little kid got home late with her momma and announced that she was tired and going to bed.)
- Wow. In a few days, Germany will make a final payment of $97 million to complete it's obligations for damage caused during World War I pursuant to the Treaty of Versailles signed over 90 years ago. World War I? What's the bill for World War II?
- "World War" is one ominous sounding name.
- I lost the bet to Mrs. LL about Jimmy Johnson's length of existence on Survivor. I thought it was a set up deal and he would hang around until the end for ratings. Now I think he just cut a deal of, "OK, I'll do this for a krillion dollars but get me out of there ASAP."
Weirdest DWI trial yesterday in Wise County Court at Law: On the DWLI trial on Monday, the Defendant decided to let the jury decide punishment but no "Application For Probation" had been filed (as required) so the jury couldn't give probation if they wanted to. They gave him 30 days in jail for a first offense. - Some of the best metroplex criminal defense lawyers who try cases in Decatur always make the same mistake: They are hostile and condescending to the arresting officer. That may work in the big city, but you can't do that around here.
- Crazy memory: When Cowboy games used to be blacked out in the 1970s, people in Wise County would go outside and manually turn their rooftop antennas to pick up a grainy Wichita Falls channel to watch it.
- Horrible accidental death in Burleson last night.
- Got a vicious comment yesterday going after a couple of bloggers on my list to the right. Sheesh. Don't make it so personal, and I might have let it go through.
- A jogger on Dallas' Katy Trail was critically injured when hit by a bicyclist. Her last name was "Huddleston" which I had never heard of outside of the Huddlestons from Bridgeport.
- Texas/OU prediction: I think OU rolls because Texas can't run the ball.
- I couldn't get a screenshot of the paper I wanted so I just found a random one out of California. Those folks are accused of killing a 15 year old girl. Reminded me of the movies Alpha Dog or Bully.

As for Cowboy games being blacked out, I also remember people driving to Waco or Wichita Falls and renting a hotel room for the day to watch the game.
You let crazy personal stuff about MzChief get through all the time. I didn't put anything in my comment your blogger friends hadn't already blogged about.
Yes that was before free agency ruined the NFL....who would really give a crap now besides gamblers?
Great Friday Pic today...
This liberal weenie really can't support censorship, but Barry if you want to block more of the racism, hate (not political) stuff it would be fine with me.
This blog too often proves our schools and mostly our churches are ineffective.
If somebody was to catch me readin this Blog I would probly jump off screamin bridge or somethin.
Hey Green - I can see an emerging need for Wise County Consultant to Uppity City Slicker Lawyers Ignorant of Our Ways. Get started on those new business cards ASAP
I have a big Technicolor picture of you taking a chewing out from a second-grader. I can also see you sitting at home fretting over it. "You just wait til your bonus daughter gets home, mister!"
Growing up in FW, I remember at least a couple of times when my dad would drive to Wichita Falls with a couple of work friends to catch the Cowboys
The bill for WWII?
Oh, we didn't demand any money for that whole "plunging the entire planet into armed conflict" deal. We just forced them to listen to Hasselhoff's musical offerings! That seems like fair compensation.
What's that you say? He was born after the end of WWII? Yes, but Nostradamus predicted The Hoff's coming, so...
Weekend!
Barry, always enjoy the blog. Provides a window (sometimes frightening) on my fellow citizens' thinking. Keep up good work in moderating our crazy rants.

In Decatur, my dad had our antenna on a tall tower, and we had a POWER antenna rotator (spelling?) to get channel 6 in Wichita Falls. That was the 1960s and 1970s!
o o o o yes them aggies sure do SUCK ha ha ha ha

Though many colleges are known for great traditions, no other school is as centered around tradition as Texas A&M. Even though many of their time honored traditions date back to the infancy of the 134 year old institution, the original and still the most adhered to is not The Aggie Joke, but The Aggie Choke. No one who is an Aggie can claim not to have suffered from this experience. The first thing an incoming freshman is taught to memorize is not The War Hymn or Farmers Fight, but Wait Til Next Year.
I love my alma mater and that is why the pain. And I know this attempt to vent will anger any Aggie who sees this and give all of the idiots who don't have a clue, much less the right, another chance to laugh. But with all of A&M's support, size, and drive for excellence, a school that has all of the qualities that should make it second to none, still by comparison the trophy case is very bare. Instead of the elite, A&M has to point to 1939 for their last national title, 1957 for their sole Heisman, and a dismal record most times they finally do rate national TV coverage. No amount of rationalizing will excuse the fact that, once again, all that can said about the game last night is "Wait Til Next Year!"
Barry, what is your fascination with implants? Can you not tell the difference? Try to find pics real ones.
Wonder how our local law enforcement would feel about the way your hostile and condescending feelings toward law enforment officers in general.
Implants, Real ones, Who care they look refreshingly wonderful to me...
Lol The way "Mrscleavage" defends homo's makes me wonder if she's a tranny....is that to personal?? Just wonderin!
Why do you condone Homo's perverted little sexual ways Barry....huh?
Crazy memory: When Cowboy games used to be blacked out in the 1970s, people in Wise County would go outside and manually turn their rooftop antennas to pick up a grainy Wichita Falls channel to watch it.
So-called Cowboy antennas were advertised for sale in Dallas and Fort Worth papers back then. Dallas people would use the Cowboy antenna to pick up a Tyler station and Fort Worth would tune in a Waco one.
I remember a man at our church saying all you needed was a higher mast on top of your house and the Cowboy antenna wasn't really needed.
Sonny boy if they don't come off with their bra they're real enough for me.
she has stretch marks on her hips...
Puppies wanna come out and play?
You are so small town...
In Texas alone, there are 93 Huddlestons listed in the phone directory with a first name starting with 'A'. Think about how many there would be if I bothered to look up 'B' thru 'Z'?
We just aren't as prominent as the Greens are...
