Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • Hey, that crazy glass house featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is for sale. I'll grab my checkbook. 
  • And that movie might be a little overrated. 
  • WBAP had a guy on this morning representing the Christian group predicting the rapture on May 21, 2011. (Which is silly, because we all know when it will end based upon the comments of 2012 Guy.)  But as proof, the guest today cited the "Gay Pride Movement" as an indication of the end of the world. 
  • If I were to rate the months, January and February would be at the bottom. 
  • The "scandal" regarding the videos shown on the U.S.S. Enterprise seems silly.
  • Any of you guys that flew out to the TCU game in Pasadena use Virgin Air? Let me hear from you. 
  • I saw last night that singer Gerry Rafferty died which rang a slight bell with me. Then I read that he recorded Baker Street and high school memories came flooding back to me. 
  • Jerry Jones will probably announce Jason Garrett the head coach today -- and if he does so, one thing is certain: He walk up to the podium with no notes and wing it. 
  • One thing is certain: If a bar opens in Decatur, the cops are going to target it. First it was Frilly's, then Fat Daddy's, then Bono's. 
  • I'm not sure I understand the Messenger's Facebook strategy. They'll post breaking news to Twitter with a link to a summary of the story on its Facebook page. Not sure where the ad revenue is with that. 
  • A prostitution sting in Grapevine with pictures. Uh, it ain't Pretty Woman. 
  • The 2nd Grader in the House apparently has been using the area under the love seat in the game room as her own personal storage shed. 
  • It sounds like gas prices are about to go through the roof. I'm mean, it's going to get bad.
  • More proof I'm a Sports Genius: Didn't the Mavericks just lose an important guy for the year with a knee injury? Short playoff run is now guaranteed.
  • Viral video yesterday: Japanese marathon runner turning the wrong way seconds before finish line (but that paled in comparison to the views of "Homeless Man With Radio Voice" that was posted everywhere --- which seems a little fishy for some reason.)

No way Ferris Bueller's Day Off is overrated.

FBDO overrated? No way. "Save Ferris."

I hated (and still hate) "Baker Street," almost as much as I loved "Stuck in the Middle With You." With those two songs Rafferty (R.I.P.) had the best and the worst of 70s pop.

And is Obama auditioning for a role in The Walking Dead?

Of course gas prices are going to go thru the roof. The republicans are back in charge.

* The LL Nostradamus aka 2012 Commenter has a better chance of being correct than the Rapture Kooks.

* January and February are 2 of my favourite months. The snow is AWESOME.

* A bar opening in The WC means more business for local lawyers. Just say thank you to local law enforcement when you plan your next holiday.
*;)

* I would venture to guess, very few prostitutes look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

* You might want to check under that 2nd grader's bed.
*;)

* Really! Really? People honestly care what the POTUS wears while on holiday, at the beach? More than likely, they are the same people who were gritching about him wearing dress shoes, suit trousers and a white dress shirt while he was surveying the tar-ball on the beaches during the Gulf Coast oil spill.

Yeah, the bad thing about Jan/Feb is the awful weather, but the good thing is the playoffs/SB, especially if your team is in them/it (sorry fellow 'boys fans!).
But at least the craziness of the holidays - excuse me, double reverse PC-PCers, Xmas...sorry, Christmas - is over. Now I can curl up in the cave while the weather outside if frightful

I think the Enterprise scandal is legitimate. The Navy has tried for years to steer the "men only shipboard tail-hook" mentality onto a gender neutral course. The skipper is calling his videos parody, but flaunting the letter of the rule. Sounds like poor judgment on his part, and you can't have that where command of a floating city is involved

I have to go rest my eyes now. You didn't provide a strong enough warning with that link to the prostitution sting.
You'd think women that look like that, and hovering around 40ish in age, would be a little suspicious of a guy readily forking over money in the $200 range for happy fun time with them

Heard on the Ticket this AM: mashup of David Lee Roth's vocals from Jump, and the piano work from Lennon's Imagine. Man! Now I'm gonna need the metaphysical Jaws of Life to separate those two whenever I hear either one

If you think the homeless man is fishy you can check him out in the morning on the Today Show. They are flying him in.
He would be perfect for radio, great voice and ugly as Garrison Keiler (well...maybe not that ugly).

Uhh ohhh....I see a possible hoarder in that 2nd Grader’s future.

Heard the “end of the world” propaganda on WBAP too. Do all Christians believe this?

I need to apologize to Jason Garrett for talking smack about him when he first took over. He’s better than I thought he’d be.

The older I get the more I fail to understand the fascination with bars. A person drinks, more than likely, ending up drunk. How does one consciously get in their vehicle afterwards and drive away without worrying that,

1) you get pulled over and get a DWI and go to jail

2) you have an accident and possibly kill someone

Gas prices going up isn't bad for all of us, dude. That means my royalty checks go up, so...bring it.

MZ: agree with you about the rapture kooks...they're all kooks in my book. As for the snow...where is it? I want to go there!

9:19 We don't all think cold weather is awful. I prefer it to summer heat in Texas any day.

"Obama's flip flops look too small"

Isn't it common for African Americans to let their toes hang over the fronts of flip flops/sandals.

And, doesn't Pee Diddy mention something of this nature in a commercial?

Higher gas prices don't automatically equate to higher royalty payments. Gas prices are tied to futures trading (as is oil) but they don't always coincide.

We went to that new Taco place in downtown Decatur that serves booze. Didn't see any cops. But we did see Trevor Brazile along with the Cooper boys at a big birthday party. Somebody was turning 50.

Thanks for todays picture. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Candance said...

I totally said the same thing about the Navy video thing and then I thought maybe I was missing something because everyone seems so up in arms over it. Now I feel validated.

Obama can wear shorts. On vacation. At the beach. What the hell is he supposed to wear? Don't we have bigger issues to worry about than whether or not flip flops are appropriate footwear for the President when he's on vacation?

9:10 You said it before I could. 9:47 It means there will be no investigations into speculators or price fixing.

United State Oil (USO) is a good hedge to protect against higher fuel prices.

You idiots who want to blame Republicans need to look at and understand the simple economic principle of supply and demand. Of course a majority of you never made it that far in school. Meanwhile you oppose creating more supply by blocking drilling. The rich Arabs love you. Keep up what you are doing. It is helping my USO shares.

Gas is going up along with everything else. When the fed
prints money, watering down the value of the dollar and monetarizing the debt, that stuff
seems to happen. Hope your up to date on your Mandrian. Oh yeah and your Messican. This aint your
daddy's USA.

Last time gas prices rose, so did my royalty checks, so I can only hope. As for the snow, wish I was in CO also!!! Sounds great.

Gas prices are only going to get higher because of the super bowl.

9:58 Seems like in the black culture they either wear their shoes too small so that their toes and/or heels hang over or they go out and about in house shoes while stepping on the heels to crush them flat....very odd.

Black guy with the radio voice has been hired by the Cleveland Caveliers, seriously. NFL Films is also interested in talking with him, seriously.

Bubear, you missed a "and another" teacher in Plano having adult fun with one of his students.

Back in 1985 I lived in Detroit, MI. At the end of the month of February, the weather man pointed out that the sun was never seen in Detroit the entire month.

Talk about a depressing place.

Anonymous said...

No, all Christians do not believe May 21st will be the end. it is just a guess, but suspect most Christians try to line their individual beliefs up behind scripture, and the Bible is pretty specific that the rapture will come upon man "like a thief in the night" and that no one will predict the day the Lord returns. my personal philosophy is to ignore anyone who claims to know the date as a false prophet.

Every so often I am forced to get this on the record: I think comments such as those made by 742, 627 and 516 are stupid and vile. Whether they are made by several people, one person or simply trolls doesn't matter. By expressing them, they lower the quality and worth of the human race as a whole.

WK----

Quality and human race are mutually exclusive concepts

As for the value of the human race, uh.... that one kind of speaks for itself.

Vile more aptly describes politicians, extreme Muslims, extreme Chritians (republicans) and extreme liberals (Barry)
Leave us harmless amateur comedians out of your generalizations.

Not much of a sense of humor there, eh? Careful of too much of that PC crap. It is guaranteed to come back and bite you in the ass someday.

I know you live in Lubbok but I live in Wise County amongst this sewage. I have said this before and I will say it again. If they give the human race an enema to purge it of ignorance and low breeding, they will stick the hose in Wise County.

1138 - Thanks for the note. Don't be so hard on Wise County. It's easy to find idiots and trolls everywhere if you spend time looking for them, and it's a waste of time arguing with them. I respond once in a while lest others mistake my silence for agreement.

516 - A comedian is someone who says something funny. Don't quit your day job skulking under the bridge. If you hang around with people who think something like your comment is funny, then you need to find a better class of people to hang around with -- and so do they.

WK----

I gotta hand it to you. You are a polite person even when engaged in insulting someone.

Funny thing is, I showed my comment and your response to ten people, not telling them I had written the original 5:16 gay nigger remark. Seven of them were actually very much amused, two of them black friends. The other three were not amused but didn't seem to think it all so offensive either. All seemed to think you seem to have a corn cob up your @$$. Maybe you are the one hanging out with the wrong people.
