- Need a little help: There was a drama-type show on Saturday morning (not a cartoon) in the 1970s that depicted a family, a boat, and perhaps Hawaii. (I think it came on after Land of the Lost). I have no idea what the name of it was but for some reason it's bugging me. I remember they wore the same clothing in every show. Edit: Ok, the older daughter wore a halter top. (For research purposes only.)
- Edit: The readers come through!!!! It was "Westwind" -- which ran one year and had 13 episodes. (The dad in the show had played the Green Hornet in a prior TV series.)
- The Rangers raising the height of the railing in response to the guy that died recently is silly. God bless the guy, but he was 100% at fault in that incident.
- I jogged the other morning before sunrise and came across another jogger who ran behind me for about a mile with a flashlight attached to him. That was creepy -- the light bouncing off the ground in front of me. I felt like I was about to be a victim in a slasher movie.
- The A/C repair guy left the coolest and greatest flashlight in the attic. Do I have an obligation to call the company?
- Someone commented yesterday that they thought it was odd that I was disturbed by the deaths of those in their 40s. Hey, send me your long list of accomplishments because apparently life has nothing left to offer you once you hit 50.
- Yeah, that sounded a little grumpy of me.
- Mrs. LL planted a tree last night. I offered to help but you would have thought I was interrupting De Vinci while creating a work of art.
- The Rangers collective ERA over this 12 game winning streak is 1.91. (Or so the radio told me this morning when I was half asleep.) It's all about pitching.
- A guy committed suicide over the weekend who is now believed to have run a Madoff-like Ponzi scheme that sucked in a bunch of coaches (including Baylor's basketball coach). But the craziest one is new Texas Tech basketball coach Billy Gillispie who lost $2.3 million -- the exact amount of his settlement with Kentucky after they fired him.
- Rupert Murdock is a modern day snake oil salesman, but I hated to see someone try to give him the pie-in-the-face treatment yesterday while testifying in England. (But I hope Mrs. LL would slap any would be attacker like his young wife did.)
- The Messenger has a story today about how a Bridgeport running back might miss the season after a blood clot scare last week. I don't know why it stuck out, but one of the sentences contained a quote from him along with the phrase that he was speaking "while his parents were in the room." I guess that was just a disclaimer of "Hey, we are reporting on a minor's medical condition but we want you to know his parents say it is OK."
- Speaking of, the Messenger's "Best Of Wise" edition is out today (or whatever they call it now.) If they don't have a Best Blog category (they used to) and if I don't win it again (check out my mantle) , I'll never steal material from them again.

Pic Fail!!! Nasty..
What's up with the picture. You should be FIRED over that
I bet today's Random Thoughts girl is a hottie...unfortunately, these two porkers walked in front of the camera just as she was getting her picture taken...
I'm not a dude but I suspect those who log on for their morning hottie fix are gonna be a bit disappointed today.
Gilligan's Island?? Maybe the animated version? Sigmund the Seamonster?
DUDE...WTF!!! unless this careless action changes I will turn in my roving reporter from the field card and shi**y pictures i send in...I cannot take this Jane...you can do better than this Shoopy
My eyes!!!!
Dammit Mr.LL - the honey on the left is ok, but the one the right is about a 4.
Still, I'd do both of them...
Regarding the 70's TV show, maybe it was the Krofft Supershow? They had different shows within the show -- "Dr Shrinker" sounds the closest to what you described.
Why is changing the height of the rail silly at the stadium.
My guess was that the guy had a beer, the player threw him the ball, he lost his bearings due to the excitement of being able to give that ball to his son, and fell.
The yellow caution tape on those rails isn't displayed continuous so that it is a constant reminder.
As a lawyer, I would think you would argue that even a reasonable and prudent person might forget the consequences of leaning over the rail if their ability to reason was impaired a little by a beverage or the thrill of getting a major league ball.
Dude. If you wear glasses, please get new ones. If not, please, have your eyes checked. Brutal.
Why do you ask that question? Of course call the a/c company. The flashlight is not yours is it? Remember what I said about karma?
I agree Barry, if you can live to your fourties, that's enought living. Really, I'm serious.
Being disturbed by the age of someone who has just passed is normal, especially if the cause of death isn't old age, and they are younger than you. The problem I had with your comment yesterday was use of the phrase "creeps me out". A little insensitive for any family or friends that may check in here
I feel the word "extreme" has been way overused in most situations. However, I think you took my comment yesterday about natural/non-hoochies and went to an EXTREME!!! level. You've outkicked your coverage on this one, slick
Or...it was a nice gag for about two seconds until my eyes focused. Either way - stop.it.now
You're not obligated, but you should call the A/C company and then ask where you can get a flashlight like that when the guy picks it up. Cuz now he knows where his missing flashlight is, and you may need to use them again at some point
The Rangers' current winning streak is about more than just pitching. The other three teams in the division all have great starting rotations, but they are fading in the standings because they don't have the offensive firepower of the Rangers. Wash is a great manager because he stresses the importance of all three components of the game, and that small ball is as important as long ball
For publishing the chicks on the beach...May you come home early to find a director yelling ACTION where Mrs LL shouts to Pablo the pool Boy to come put oil on placers the Sun hasn't shown on for some time.
Google "Sid and Marty Kroft". "The Buggaloos" will be my eternal fave but my sister loved "Land of the Lost".
BG -- Is it really that slow of a news day that you had to throw up that picture to get your readers to comment? Cheap shot.
We could talk about Rick Perry being "called" to run for president; Michelle Bachman saying high heels cause debilitating migraines; or the reason you are interested in 1950's TV is because there isn't anything worth watching being aired today.
BTW, it isn't all about the pitching. Rangers are the only team in the majors with 6 players with 12 homeruns each. The offense is holding up its end.
BG, life has tons to offer after turning 50, because you live off the fruits of your long list of accomplishments. You'll see.

@9:14 - Raising the rails is silly because the rail where the guy fell is only being raised a whopping 8 inches. Basically, a shade more than the distance between his belt and his belly button. Would that have saved his life?
Good Lord Barry, who in particular were you so pissed of at this morning that you would post that pic? Talk about something that doesn't need to be in the vault. Yuck!
I knew you would catch hell for the rt girls but it is funny that all the complainers would trade their Wise County wives for either one of them. Go to WalMart in Decatur and check out the Wise County wives.
I am the commenter on your death issues. I was not saying there is nothing left but just that I don't see why you are so shocked when folks die in their 40-50s. That is kind of expected, as those are the ages health issues begin to take their toll on the body. I personally am 57, have raised three children and am content with my life. If I die today, that is fine with me. I have lived a super great life. If I live another 20-30 yrs, that's fine too, only if I'm healthy enough to enjoy it. My point is that if there is something you REALLY want to do or see, do it, because no one is promised to live another day. I just don't worry about it, live each day as if it were my last, and I'm happy, either way.
Dr. Shrinker is the game I always play when I get into the shower, I never realized it was a 70's tv show.
Double fail on the pic, dude.
hey what's better a god ole biggun or a big ole goodun..?
btw..some guy just walked into one of the banks in boyd with a pistola, then left now the popo on search ....guess we'll see what we'll see
I agree that this morning's ladies are rather sub-par.
Barry, esse'- homes. What are you thinking brother. Did you get too hot or hit on the head or something?
I'm speechless, so I'll just tsk tsk you.
Tsk tsk.
Dude, don't let the Decatur Strangler tail you like that!
That's easy- The Love Boat.
About the flashlight - some of you are taking Barry's comments way too seriously _ especially the one that said something about karma. Of course BG is going to call the A/C co. He probably already has.
Gotta love it. The chick on the left has a zit on her forehead that is bigger that her knocker. GREAT PIC!
da bof fugly
love this pic.. women that i can get a hold of.. perfect. no more skinny sticks.

I love it.
Bacon Scale
Left 1 out 5
Right -1 out 5
How come our Walmart doesn't give out these receipts?
I thought you were talking about the clip from the Banana Splits called Danger Island. I had never heard of Westwind.
It's still the same if you enlarge the pic. But they are still about a 3.5 out of 5.0
The rangers have to raise the rails to shoe effort. Whether or not it Davis a life doesn't matter. That way if another drunkard falls, no one can gripe.
And triple fake.... you just went up a notch in my book, young man.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say 12:07 fell victim to a new autocorrecting cellular device.
9:55...lighten up Nancy..were born to Die, its going to happen to each and every one of us.
Danger Island! Uh Oh....JUNGO!!!
If they raise the railing at The Ballpark, it just gives the idiots something to climb on to catch that ball that previously would have gone a couple of rows deep.
Dude...you were watching a drama with real people on Saturday mornings when you were a kid?
10 shows you should have been watching instead....
1. Tom and Jerry
2. Bugs Bunny and Friends
3. Mighty Mouse
4. Scooby Doo
5. Justice League
6. The Monkees
7. Three Stooges
8. Little Rascals
9. Heckle and Jeckle
10. Debbie Does Dallas
12:07 Cletus- put the phone down and drive jackwagon.
12:36. Hey dumbass, that was my point! READ my comment. Barry is the one all uptight about dying.
Miami Vice?
The Man From Atlantis?
Blue Lagoon?
The Poseidon Adventure?
The logic of raising the railings and the determination of fault in the accident are two different things.
Where the man fell, the railing is only 33 inches high. That's not high enough to prevent someone who might slip or stumble (i.e. not intentionally leaning over) from going over the side. It is simply too low to prevent a normal person's center of gravity from carrying them over if they lose their balance.
Having a railing only 33 inches high above a 15-20 foot drop onto concrete? Now THAT'S silly.
The ballpark problem can be solved in one of two ways:
1. Require spectators to wear seat-belts; or
2. Make all seats ground-level.
You're welcome.
The rails at the Ballpark were fine until a white guy died.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - NO HE DI'INT
please please tell us where you found this picture.. we want more..
Doesn't that chick on the right own an oilfield trucking company in Bridgeport?
