- Fiddler on the Roof ended up on my TV last night --- I didn't know the guy from Starsky and Hutch was in it.
- "After 25 years, it's nice to know." -- The leading mother and father acknowledging that they love each other after all those years. You know, I almost teared up.
- Did I entertain kids and friends by pretending the Family Pup was singing "If I Were A Rich Pup"? Guilty.
- The Dallas DA wants the legislature to require all confessions be videotaped. Just when I don't like the guy he redeems himself.
- When I posted the silly Mavs video below, I was fearful as to how many people knew what "rick rolled" meant.
- North or South out of San Fran? You guys have me confused so I bought a travel book.
- For an audience that goes crazy against full body scans at airports, you guys sure didn't care much about checkpoints.
- The bagofnothing.com guy posted a funny video of a guy falling off a roof.
- Boy, the NFL Network guys sure did think it was funny when Patriot Danny Woodhead's name was mispronounced.
- Had an out of town lawyer ask me yesterday if someone in the courthouse was crazy.
- Flashback: There was a S\ports Illustrated cover in August that told us the Evil Empire had the capability to win it all.
- Pretty shocking story in the Update today. I'm surprised that doesn't happen on Facebook all the time. Maybe it does.
- We might already have the mugshot of the year.
- A lot of those condos in the converted Montgomery Ward on 7th Street in Fort Worth are in trouble -- 144 of the unsold ones are going to foreclosure. (And the holder of the note is the same guy that bought the Lake Bridgeport property from the Boys Scouts for development. I wonder how that is going?)
- I'm now a Capricorn. You?

I think its laughable that people want to be as secure as possible, but only as long as it doesn't interfer with them in any way.
We all hope to get on a plane and not explode during the mid-flight movie. However, I think people don't really appreciate what it actually takes to make airline travel safe. Yes, it's annoying that an blacks, white, Hispanics, and othere non-Arabic get searched and questioned at airports. Yes, we all know (but might not acknowledge) that what we are REALLY looking for is the muslim extremist.
However, don't we live on the principle that "what we do for one, we have to do for all?" "Racial profiling is a horrible, disgusting thing." Really? Isn't that what most people are talking about when they complain they get searched at the airport? Why are they searching me and my stuff...I'm obviously not a muslim extremist. My 85 year old grandmother isn't either.
We really should face the facts. Most people are too stupid or complacent to notice anything suspicious to report it in the first place. So, because most of you don't know the real-world dangers out there, the government, on occasions, has to interven on our behalf.
Do we tell firefighters how to put out fires? Do we tell teachers how to impart knowledge to our children? Do we tell the utilities worker how to connect our houses with electricity? No, no we don't. So why does EVERYONE want to tell law enforcement officers HOW to do their jobs? All the people with absolutely no knowledge of security or law enforcement always want to be the "voice of reason," but know nothing about what they speak to.
Sit down, shut up, and leave it to the professionals.
mugshot chick:
WICKED HAWTIE!
Congratulations on enjoying a bit of culture. Sure, Fiddler on the Roof is no Footloose, but still a nice musical to enjoy. Here, have some more kasha vanishkas. You're a growing boy, you need to eat.
today's chic pic chick looks familiar..... NICE
"Had an out of town lawyer ask me yesterday if someone in the courthouse was crazy."
Was the pct. 4 commissioner the subject of the question?
"Do we tell firefighters how to put out fires? Do we tell teachers how to impart knowledge to our children? Do we tell the utilities worker how to connect our houses with electricity? No, no we don't."
Yes we do! No matter your chosen profession, some pompous jerk knows a better way to do whatever it is you are trying to accomplish and will probably tell you whether you want to hear it or not. If you deal with the public you will endure the wrath of A__holes on occasion. Be a "professionel" and deal with it!
Be a "professionel" and deal with it!
First step--learn how to spell.
Developer John Femrite---Horses A__!
Today's girl looks kinda manly? Why do women do that?
Barry? You're confused by North and South?
How far did Texas get this year?
Ha! They really showed them huh?
Facebook is nothing but trouble!
I heard that the new "alignment" doesn't effect those born before 2009? I think its all bogus! I'll always be a Taurus.

Sorry, but I must offer a correction.
Developer = Horses A__!

Like those who "intervened" with that kid in Tuscon?
Capricorn I am I guess. lol
North
No, we don't tell firefighters how to put out fires. However, I don't want them spraying my house with water when its not on fire.
Awww… A man who is sentimental and silly gets an A+ from me. Like you care. LOL
I assumed all confessions were taped. Oh my. Dishonest police officers could make up anything!
Did you say YES or NO to the out of town lawyer?
Mmmm...and "young" males and females don't have a clue about what they are doing. Not a single clue! LOL, I remember being young once, trust me they do.
I'm still stubborn and grouchy as Taurus the Bull. Darnit. Was hoping to be one of those sugar and spice and everything nice kinda signs. LOL
Did anyone else happen to hear that Missouri wants to drug test all welfare recipients? Best idea EVER! Now, if all other states would follow suit I bet you those deficits would go way down.
I don't like that girl. She frightens me.
South out of SF towards Carmel/Monterrey, get on the 101, head south on the Camino Real stop in, spend some time in and the night in Paso Robles, they have a cool square, next morn 101 south to Santa Barbara and the beach, done there head East into LA. You'll miss out on Napa and wine country by going south, but you can go north next time,
Today's girl looks kinda manly?
What part looks manly?

The single most intelligent statement ever recorded on this blog.
I always knew you were an f'ed up goat.
I agree with you 8:39. Well said
Actually the developments on the North Side of Lake Bridgeport are going well. After the developers got out of the way a couple of years ago and some interested owners took over homes started to appear. There are now over 10 homes in North Star Pointe and in Moonlight Bay. There are several in various stages of planning and construction.
849 - The lack of professionalism is, I think, the issue. There seems to be a "do everything to everybody" philosophy that is easy to train inspectors to do, without their needing excessive experience or judgment.
Maybe whoever decides on airport inspections could follow the system used at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, considered one of the safest airports in the world. Inspectors there observe behavior and ask questions. Then, if needed, they follow up. In other words, they are professional enough to be able to use discretion and judgment.
I'd lick her Volvo.
I just don't see what people's problem is with the scan and searches at the airports! I recently traveled and had both the scan (at DFW) and was frisked (in Mexico) and it was NO BIG DEAL. I'd rather then strip-search us all if that's what it takes to keep an idiot from boarding with a bomb. Anyone who doesn't think a little 85 yr old caucasion grammy or a small kid couldn't be carrying a bomb for someone is a total and complete idiot with their head in the sand. ANYONE can be a terrorist. The guy from AZ wasn't a Muslim, but he did lots of damage. Nut cases aren't all Muslim, people. Better safe than sorry.
Lord that's all we need. A bunch of New Yorkers moving to Austin, TX.
Today's pic looks like a composite. Male looking head and legs - female chest.
Strange.
Drag queen?
MMMM...Danika Patrick
wordkyle: I agree, to a point. There can be no argument that Tel Aviv has the best security in the world. Why? Because they profile. From the time you enter the airport, to the time you sit on the plan. You've been profiled several times.
Ohhhh, but profiling is such a dirty little word isn't it? People associate profiling with evil and distrustful deeds. And heavens to mergatroid if law enforcement does it.
It's an easy choice...we can choose to but unsecure or we can choose to implement the most well known and most succesfull method of security...profiling.
"the Evil Empire had the capability to win it all."
Like Coach Royal always said, "potential just means you ain't done it yet" And sure enough we(they)didn't get it done.
"Lord that's all we need. A bunch of New Yorkers moving to Austin, TX."
Why would it matter, have you ever actually met anyone from Austin that was not a transplant?
Airline safety? Who gives a rats a*#. You'll either blow up or not. If they want to bad enough it will happen. Big question is.....Are you ready? I am. If it goes down i'm going up so who cares!! Are you ready????
"I'm going up"?
As in, FLAMES?
Yes going up...On the wings of angels to the lord..I know if the plane goes down my soul won't be going with it. And those terrorist well won't they be shocked when they find out there are no virgins waiting for them! Airline security is a joke. They test it all the time and it fails. I will continue to fly, I will continue to go through security but we all know it just isn't good enough. So be prepared so it does not matter. Up or down your choice. I choose up. Just my opinion and my religious views.
2:47...You sound a little to eager to me!
I'm sure they thought the crazy person was James Stainton, I do!
RFMT = Even though the parts are well-executed and in the right proportions, he looks a little upset about the work.
What was that bumper sticker from the days of yore?
"Steers & Queers - Noplace But Austin"
Yes I am eager this earth sucks. I'm rapture ready bring it on Lord!
Unless you just LOVE wine and really enjoy trying out different types, I'd definitely head south down to Carmel/Monterrey. I spent 9 months in Redwood City, and did the wine tasting in Napa a few times and also headed south. Unless you're completely gaga for wine, there's not too much reason to head north other than pretty country, and there's even prettier country down south.
For a good dinner on the bay, try Scoma for their seafood. It's actually pretty reasonable but outstanding. Don't go to San Fran without driving down to the 17 mile drive in Monterrey. Out of everything I saw and did, it was my most favorite. Figure out when sunset will be in Carmel, then count back an hour and a half to start the drive. You'll finish up the 17 mile drive at the beach at sunset, and then you'll be right in the center of Carmel-by-the-Sea, which has great food and adorable shops. You really can't miss that, or I'll be sad for you!
South!
SI doesn't know their head from their butts obviously..the evil empire was SHUT DOWN, and I loved every minute of it!! (insert: me, LMFAO!!!)
Once a Sag, always a Sag..mine didn't change, but this new signs crap says my sign is now the 13th sign. I don't like that much. hmmm who gave this dude the authority to change everything up??
