Random Monday Morning Thoughts


  • Wasn't there was a time when weekends were relaxing?
  • Almost (?) had an incident with the Neighbor Boys on Saturday when their soccer ball hit our roof while I was getting in the shower. The last I know, Mrs. LL was headed out to the backyard battlefield as I preached nuclear restraint. I didn't even ask what happened.
  • I kind of like being in bed knowing that a thunderstorm is on its way.
  • But did you see the houses in Prosper that had a ton of windows shattered by hail -- hail that was still on the ground this morning when Fox 4 did a live report? Photo (wow.)
  • We missed a certified letter for Mrs. LL this weekend. I fear the certified letter.
  • I've yet to watch it, but Saturday Night Live did a bit about Fox and Friends on Saturday. 
  • I think most of West Texas burned down over the weekend. 
  • Alerted Mrs. LL that I had accidentally let some flying bug in the house last night. She told me "I'll get the bug zapper", disappeared, and then came back with The Family Cat.  I'll be. That thing is good for something. 
  • When we had friends in from out of state a couple of weekends ago, they were much entertained when we drove by a liquor store and gun range in the same building off Northeast 28th Street in Fort Worth.
  • The Federal Government Shutdown that was avoided on Friday was (still) much ado about nothing. It actually happened during the Clinton years and no one particularly cared. But for some reason this time we had Panic Mode television coverage with countdown clocks on every channel.
  • Fox 4's Peter Daut caught some television gold at the NASCAR race with his man-in-the-crowd interviews (with one guy -- shirtless and wearing jorts -- being a cross between Kid Rock and Ricky Bobby.)
  • Hanging out with friends on Saturday night when the female host suddenly, strangely and violently threw up. Many rushed to help her. I headed outside.  Edit: Nope, it wasn't alcohol induced.
  • I won't say golf is riveting but golf was riveting yesterday when Tiger Woods roared to the top of the leaderboard at the Masters. And I managed to parlay that into an excuse to leave a kid's birthday party to go set the DVR. (But I had to come back. Pronto.)
  •  But the guy who ultimately won the Masters is named "Charl" which prompted someone to write that a headline today should read "Charl's in Charg". One got close . . .

What's up with that gals Knee.

With a cheerleading crisis looming in Bridgeport, our press is covering the budget chinanigans in DC. Go figure!

Was the hostess drinking? Usually random, violent vomit is a sign of alcohol poisoning. That's because the person is too confused to know he or she is about to vomit. Yuck.

Can we hope that is bad lighting from the camera on your "chick's" right knee?.......either that or a horrific tumor.

Not good either way.

I bet the back of that that chicks legs have more hail damage than my '76 El Camino...

Sounds like your host that got so suddenly sick might have had a small heart incident. I have known "attacks," where no pain is actually felt, to cause one to vomit seemingly out of nowhere. She might better check things out with her doctor.

Knee? She has a knee?

So, yeah, weekend were and still can be relaxing. The trick is limiting how many activities you sign up the kiddos for. And good luck with that... much easier preached than practiced.

NASCAR Races, Civil War Reenactments, Trade Days. Yup, just about one and the same.

I had to spend time with liberals once and I threw up violently.

I think the last government shutdown was in 1995 when Gingrich and gang were fighting for a balanced budget, which they finally won and then Clinton has taken credit for it ever since.

Gawd forgive me but I for the life of me cannot understand the the draw of watching 36 redneck jerkwads drive 200 miles an hour for 500 miles- in a circle, while surrounded by 250,000 white trash rejects from every trailer park in a 1000 mile radius.

Certified letters are never, ever good news.

Well maybe since Ed Mcmahon is dead Publisher's Clearinghouse sends a cert. letter instead of coming to your door...

SNL's parody of Fox 'n Friends was lame. There is so much potential material there, and that's all they could come up with?!? Put a little effort into it, will ya'?

And in other news, the PGA now has a requirement that each member of the tour attend a six hour training couse in proper use of the Heimlich manuver, just in case any one chokes as bad as McIlroy did yesterday.

I'm betting that your friend that threw up had a daughter in Bridgeport trying out for cheerleader. That will make you Puke! Trust Me!

The extent to which you are worried about a govt shutdown is dependent upon whether or not you are a govt employee. The same is true for school budget cuts and whether or not you are a teacher or an adminstrator.

You left out the pawn shop at the west end of that strip mall. That place is a crime spree waiting to happen. Pawn something stolen, buy a gun and rob the liquor store. Bing, bang, boom.

Sorry 2:10pm, I don't care enough about your comment to correct ya.

I've never seen so many gay republicans.

I'd spunk on her tummy.

We agree on something wordkyle--washington politicians don't carte about what concerns the average citizen.

And here's where I point out that they're mostly republicans.

Honcho, go up above to Wordy's similar post - then come back...

My main complaint about so many republicans in Washington is their unfair bias agains the gay community.

We continue to suffer the most unfair persecution in America's long history of oppression.
