Random Monday Morning Thoughts


  • For the first time in years, I handed candy out last night for Trick or Treaters. There are some pretty cute kids out there.
  • Then again, when the teenagers team up if feels like Gangs of New York.
  • Did a double take when I looked up and saw the Family Puppy in a Lady GaGa wig.
  • I actually dressed up in costumes on both Friday and Saturday. Too. Much.  Halloween seems to have transitioned to a pretty big holiday. 
  • It's November and the Rangers are still playing. Although they might play just one more game. Can they buy a hit?
  • I was strangely satisfied just to get to the World Series.
  • I hardly watched any of the Cowboys game. Wade's going to get fired, but it won't be during the season.
  • There's nothing that powers me down more than to hear, "Jerry Jones the owner needs to fire Jerry Jones the general manager."
  • I had the joy of running to the grocery store at 5:00 a.m. this morning. Milk was needed. Not a lot going on in a grocery store at that time. 
  • Huge fight in San Franscico McDonalds that goes on and on and on. 
  • At least 52 dead in Iraq.
  • Heard one political ad referring to a Texas politician as not only a "liberal" but an "Obama-Pelosi liberal." 
  • Man, there were a bunch of people at the Jon Steward/Stephen Colbert rally this weekend. At one point they had Cat Stevens perform "Peace Train", Ozzy Osborn sing "Crazy Train" and the O'Jays sing "Love Train." Funny.
  • College football: If Alabama wins out, they will leap over a no loss TCU team.

I bet that pool table got used for something other than a game of pool.

I have enjoyed Perry claiming credit for a balanced budget...something required by that little constitution of ours.

But even more funny is that he used 12B of the 20B stimulus money Texas got to do that this last two years.

Has 8B left to help him with the 18-21B deficit for the next two years.

That damn federal govt! That damn Obama!

I have heard two democratic ads describe the republican as Bush era conservatives. All politics drives me crazy this time of year.

Today's pic is human?

Surely not.

Campaigning politicians try to be mirrors of what they think their voters feel. Across the country Democrat candidates have run away from their records and any association with Obama, Pelosi or Reid. Why wouldn't a Republican candidate invoke those names?

Regardless of how well Republicans do in tomorrow's elections, they will still be under a microscope. The Republicans are being elected to do battle. One whiff that they intend to become Democrats-lite and someone else will start gearing up to take their place.

A ONE LOSS SEC SCHOOL IS WAY BETTER FOR RATINGS THAN TCU. SORRY FROGS, IT'S ABOUT THE DOLLA DOLLA BILLZ YALL!

Rangers notes:
* Separated at birth - The Giants' Cody Ross, especially in profile and wearing a helmet, and the bad guy from the movie 48hrs (Ganz - played by James Remar). Also separated at birth - me and my placenta! (stolen from Gordo) When I ran that line past my dad the other day, he sez: "I think we kept the wrong one."
* Speaking of Ozzy - Ozzy Guillen is the Ozzy Osbourne of baseball. I only catch about every fifth word he says. Who thought it would be a good idea to put him in front of a TV camera? They need to spark up the closed-captioning when he speaks
* We need a huge game from Cliff Lee tonight AND THE OFFENSE should probably show up, too!

Cowboys notes:
meh
They stink. There are lots of problems, but they need to evaluate the talents of Stephen McGee at some point during the season. Oh, and dump the head coach. Lots of folks thought he wouldn't be a good head coach but that he is great as a defensive coordinator. Really?! The defense was awful yesterday

Today's pic, I am just not into faux wood floors! I prefer all natural; and never go with a lighter wood flooring next to darker tile--also does not match the wood on the pool table. I can even tell that Mr. Puggles don't care for it!

Didja see little Halloween Ron Washington at the game last night with the regular-sized Washington? That was pretty cool of him (the reg-size Wash). Too bad they got tricked with a loss.
That the way baseball go, kid!

Answers? I don't know the questions. said...

I'm amazed that Ozzie Guillen could speak without an f-bomb every other word. Pathetically, it's usually the only thing you could understand.

There was a floor in that pic?

It would have been a lot cheaper, and gotten the same amount of attention, if she had just got a tattoo on her chest that said: "I have low self-esteem"

Todays pic....you have a real affinity for picking the "burned out Skank" look.

Barry - I bet your neighborhood doesn't even compare to ours when we lived on Robinhood Lane at Halloween. It was the dreaded street that everyone drove down knowing they were going to either get egged or ballooned!! Those were some great Halloweens!!!!

Signed: 20 Robinhood Lane

So when #3 TCU beats #5 Utah they won't jump to #1 like when #4 Auburn beat #6 LSU. Get over your fear of the FROG and play us and see if you can backup that talk. Like Baylor did!!!

That Mc D's fight is just typical of the lesser evolved races...

I like big boobs. The closer they are to real, the better. I would be afraid to touch those things, they may explode and what would I be left with? When they are so big and fake and the skin is stretched so tight that you get a butt lift, that's overkill. And if you look closely, you can see the Corning serial number.

Halloween on Boston Street in Bridgeport was packed, the most kids I have ever seen, lived there 16 years. There had to be over one thousand kids lots of neat costumes. Saw people from all over Wise County.

Went to the cowboy game yesterday. ( free $340 a piece tickets) let me just say this about that game. That is a nice stadium.

The only way TCU gets to the championship game is for Oregon to lose (or look really bad). Either Alabama or Auburn is in. And watch out for Nebraska. If they win out, they may jump TCU as well.
