- I was completely out of the loop this weekend - I may need you guys to update me this morning.
- Ate at Nuevo Leon at Northside on Friday. Not bad. But it was one of those weird experiences where we were going to try something new only to walk in the door and realize that we had been there before.
- And I'm not a complainer, but the service was bad. I've noticed that in so many places in the last couple of months -- which is odd because with jobs at a premium, you'd think people would work hard to keep them.
- Lady GaGa arrived at the Grammy's last night in an egg. Yep, an egg. Since she arrived one time in a dress made of meat, she's halfway to a Grand Slam Breakfast. (Stolen line.)
- I don't relate to the Grammy's any more. I had no idea who Arcade Fire (best album) or Esperanza Spalding (best new artist) were.
- I actually planned Mrs. LL's Valentines's Day gift three weeks ago.
- WBAP was talking about how much the average guy spends on his significant other on Valentine's. They sited one study that said $116. Really?
- Caught some of Desperado last night. Sucks me in every time.
- Also saw an old episode of To Catch A Predator which reminded me that one time Mrs. LL left me a phone message composed entirely of drops from the Chris Hansen soundboard. Funny.
- The Messenger reported this weekend that redistricting might cause Wise County to be cut out of Rep. Phil King's district. Everyone gripes about him, but he's been unbeatable and that's the only way he won't represent us.
- Ann Coulter thinks New Jersey governor Chris Christie could be President Obama in the next election. In all seriousness, I don't think a fat guy could ever win the presidency. It's a shallow reason, but that's the way we are.
- The No-Body-Murder-Trial in Denton was put on hold all of late last week because of weather and because the judge had "other obligations."
- Wrong way driver in Dallas last night (but he was stopped once a cop rammed him). Man, that would be terrifying to see on a highway.

I was driving to Bowie several years ago and topped a hill on 287N to meet a car coming the wrong way. Good thing I was in the right lane. I always drive in the right-hand lane when topping a hill on a two-lane highway since then.
3 weeks ago? That's just pathetic BG!!!! Man up, it's just silly, made up holiday.
I don't think we could ever elect a fat guy. I didn't think we would ever elect a half white guy either.
Dare we say that the bigotry against fat people is becoming more widespread (and acceptable) than bigotry against black people?
check this out it looks like Alvord ISD has hired a baseball coach that is not certified to teach or coach he was employed at Good Year Tire, if so what does that say to the kids no College needed just screw off and if you know the right people you can do what ever
Can a fat guy be elected president? Three years ago, I would have bet a thousand dollars that no guy with the name "Barrack Hussein Obama" could be elected president. And to think he would be the next president immediately after 9/11, during the war on terror which toppled Sadam Hussein.
But I digress, Obama will be re-elected, to our chagrin.
Anonymous @ 9:27, in the next decade, you will see a big push to hire more and more non-certified (but "highly qualified") teachers. School districts can't afford to keep paying into teacher retirement. You will see less experience in the classroom, because you can hire three new teachers for the same cost as two experienced teachers.
9:27 one of these days your going to learn that (in alot of cases) college is like marriage. It's just a piece of paper.
In regards to the Grammys, there are so many "awards" shows nowadays, it feels like there's at least one every month, so I never watch any with the exception of the Oscars.
BG, just heard that the courthouse was being evacuated because of a bomb threat. What's the scoop?
Boy the pic gal is ripped, got a nice V pointing straight to ,, Oh never mind...
Help out a newcomer to Wise County. Is Alvord pronounced "Al-VORD" or "Al-VERD" or some other way? One old timer sounded like he said "Al-VOID." So what's the consensus?
AL-VOID, Not from around here are ya?
I heard that Chuck Norris walked into the courthouse, found the bomb, spread some spicy mustard on it, and ate it on a kaiser roll.
As far as what's going on this weekend, a very trustworthy source told me that Nancy Pelosi contracted the Mingus... but I'm sure it won't be public knowledge.
Speaking of college trained teachers. Why do schools insist on preparing every student for a college career. Most do not go to college. When will we put vocational training back in our local schools? That is what our economy needs, people trained to carpenter, plumb, drive trucks, balance checkbooks, etc...
11:01 Now that's funny!
Well there is a story about Pres Taft getting stuck in a bathtub.
9:27:
An insider told me the Alvord baseball coach has a degree w/a gpa in excess of 3.5 and has been coaching Denton Ryan baseball players on select teams out of season. Be careful about libelous/slanderous statements. If you print it on here, then you are probably SAYING it somewhere else, and before you know it you and the constable will become aquainted when he delivers the summons.
11:16, won't work. We have more carpenters than we have jobs, even if they are illegal. We get our carpenters, plumber's helpers and truck drivers from Mexico. We would get all plumbers, not just the grunts, from Mexico except it requires a licence. We have screwed up our country because of the greed for cheap labor.
Fat people don't have to be fat. Only MJ has escaped being black.

11:35 I used to hunt on the Dolph Briscoe ranch in south texas and President Taft's Brother used to own the ranch (or a portion) he had wanted to turn it into a resort, imagine that. They gathered all the locals together and instructed them to tell the investors how nice it was around Carrizo Springs..Rumor was an Investor walked up and laid his hand on a 12 year old boys head and asked, does it Snow alot here and the Boy replied no but i have seen it Rain once..they had a Tub up at the original Ranch House that he installed for Taft that was Huge..but he never visted the ranch...oh and nice Rooster Bullets on todays pic
To wordkyle...
You beat me to it. Well done!
11:52 Try waking up to the 21st century. That greed is not for cheap labor. It's for a good worker. Now days, white boy is a worthless piece of crap.
Ask any homeowner/farmer/construction company (all types)/restaurant owner, etc. and they will tell you the same.
11:52...
Spoken like a true Wetback...
White boys work in many countries, including Canada, that do not have our border problem. In America I know I cannot hire a white boy for the same wage that I can get an illegal.
Wasn't that impressed with Lady GaGa last night, but Jaggar and Streisand had awesome performances. Dylan looked stoned out of his mind, but I love that guy anyway!
Rage just keeps giving more and more reasons to wish there was an "ignore" feature on here.
Bravo on thinking ahead for VDay....it's the thought behind a gift that makes it truly romantic. =) Enjoy your 1st VDay together!
Sorry, I had not refreshed my page and you had already edited it!!!
11:43 You have NO idea what you are talking about!!!!
In regards to the fatty vs non-fatty discussion: Anna Nicole never found any shortage of love interests (or half-dead old men). Not exactly a Twiggy. Thoughts? And no, it wasn't because she a sparkling conversationalist. No way! Must have had some heat in that heft.

$100 for Valentines is pretty close as a dozen roses end up being that much with delivery and tax added. Still might need a card, chocolates, nightie, or a lovely dinner...maybe even a woman!
9:27 - take note of what 11:43 is saying. It wouldn't take much to figure out who is flapping their jaws in that small town. Look at who didn't get the job, and you can probably figure it out.
As far as his coaching abilities - TEA does not require a teaching certification to coach - only that the person be a full-time employee. From mouths of the players - they like the guy and are very impressed with his knowledge of the game - that is more than can be said about some of the coaches that have certifications, I'm sure.
Some of the best coaches I know are summer league and peewee coaches who coach because it is their passion. They tend to make much better coaches than those who are chasing the money or the power trip. I don't know the guy, but I if the kids like him, they'll play for him. And isn't that what matters?
Go gripe about something that matters - or better yet, get a life!
"if so what does that say to the kids no College needed just screw off and if you know the right people you can do what ever"
By your limited grammar - we can assume you are talking to yourself in the mirror again. Say it real slow - I am not a loser - I am not lazy - I am not a screw up with a worthless degree - maybe someday you will believe in yourself.
middle school and jr hign coaches have ruined more players than we will ever know. my girls both played on very select teams and never played hs because of the attitude of coaches. the very best b ball coach i was ever around were butch perry an kyle copp of the oldtexas thunder out of nw thes guys knew how to treat players and it showed. the best are always in pre school ball
I could coach any team on any level to be winners at whatever they do with a GED from prison!

If you live in Alvord, you say it right: AlvoRd.
If you don't, you say Alvo-id. And sound like a hick.
6:08 who didn't get the job?

The same two certified coaches who had it last year. The one who was the head last year let a kid throw over 100 pitches the first game back after injuring his shoulder. The kid will most likely have to live that for the rest of his life. Over heard one of the admin. saying the coach really hurt the kid. Certification doesn't trump incompetence.
I agree about Alvord. I have lived in Wise County for more than 50 years, but never in Alvord. Every time I here someone say Al-void, I cringe. It should not be pronounced -void. I always say Alvord, and get the strangest looks from WC people.
Alvord seems a little disfunctional right now.
3:32
That's the understatement of the year. Between City Hall and school rumor wars - it is not a very pleasant place to live. But..It will get better after the elections.
My daughter didn't know who that Esparanza (I think I spelled that wrong) person was either and she's 13, which means she knows EVERYTHING.
