Random Monday Morning Thoughts



  • I learned last night that Mrs. LL is extremely freaked out by the Scary Clown prop in a lawn decorated for Halloween. Very freaked out. 
  • A Zombie Walk in Deep Ellum over the weekend. Weird or fun? (Photos.)
  • Anybody else get really scared by the "Bloody Mary" scene in the trailer for Paranormal Activity 3? That's pretty intense for regular TV.
  • A guy in a Hummer was shot in the head as he drove down a Dallas freeway last night. I think he survived.
  • The Softball Team is down to one game. I had a left fielder act like Nelson Cruz on Saturday by throwing out a runner at second on a force.  (She had already had two stellar innings at pitcher.) And the fact that she's humble makes her my favorite player. 
  • I don't think I've ever seen one NFL coach go after another like Jim Schwartz (Lions) went after Jim Harbaugh (49ers) yesterday. Video. Good times.
  • Couldn't decide on Random Girls today. 
  • Hot football sports opinion: No team can intentionally "run out the clock" with more than three minutes left by doing anything other than running their offense like they normally do. If getting a couple of first downs by running the ball were easy, teams would do it from the first quarter.
  • There's no way Herman Cain wins the GOP nomination. 
  • I heard that the voice of Whataburger ("Attaboy, tiger") will no longer be the voice of Whataburger. He was on The Ticket once and casually mentioned that, being in California, he had never eaten a Whataburger. Edit: I'm 100% sure of this. (He was on BAD Radio's Guest Booking League.)
  • Cold front coming in tonight. Bring it.
  • Cop punches Occupy Wall Street chick in the face. (:31 second mark.) Ouch.
  • I go back and forth on the Occupy movement. Just when I get sympathetic, I realize how we could all have 50% less than what we have and still be more fortunate than most of the world.
  • Fox 4's pre and post game coverage of the Rangers is a train wreck every night. I wouldn't miss it for the world. 
  • The Update is late this morning. (And still isn't up as I post this.) I was deprived of material. 
  • You would think a movie starring Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson would be a box office sure thing. Nope. "The Big Year" opened in ninth place.

Given Herman Cain's dark horse status (his description) it's not a stretch to believe one of the favorites will defeat him for the nomination. But "no way" is pretty far out on the limb. There was "no way" Barack Obama could defeat Hillary Clinton in '08, either. Do you have more in-depth reasoning?

Your observation on the Occupy Wall Street protesters is curious. Is "everyone should have 50% less" one of their tenets? That would certainly explain Democrat support for the protests. (Your opinion on American wealth is pretty accurate. We have the wealthiest poor people that have ever existed.)

Rangers notes - We're Going Baa-ack edition:
~ It's amazing that a team (especially the Rangers) can score nine runs in one inning without benefit of a homerun
~ I'm always amused at the crowd reaction to an intentional walk. It's like 50,000 bipolar disorders kicking in at the same time. They boo at the process, then cheer for the result. Hey folks, you knew before the first pitch what was gonna happen
~ That violent crash into the wall by Josh Hamilton in the 5th inning - good thing they're going on the road for the first couple of games. The wall will need that time to recuperate. Ouch!
~ Wash really goes nuts when there's a scoring opportunity for the Rangers. I keep imagining they've got a guy stashed in the tunnel with a dartgun full of thorazine, you know...just in case. Kinda like when Mushmouth gets out of hand and the Musers have to jolt him with the juice.
But if the Rangers win the Series, I can guarantee you will see Wash shed some old brutha tears during a post-game interview
~ I love Emily Jones. She has a great rapport with all the players. I especially like to see her do interviews in a champagne-rich environment
GO RANGERS!!!

He was on The Ticket once and casually mentioned that, being in California, he had never eaten a Whataburger.

That was Gordon Keith impersonating the Whataburger guy.

The more you know.

Herman Cain. Another Barry Green prediction. He's as good as elected, judging from your past predictions.

Just because Obama plays the race card doesn't mean you have to.

Was that Bree Olson on Friday's Randy Girl? She's Hot even after the abuse she took from Charlie Sheen's sausage.

And the multiple Randy girls for today is enough to give me a coronary. Quintuple Hot!

Lastly, I need to hang out with DSK!

"Lets shoot people that have big houses, too. How dare they build such a place. Oh, and those that wear nice clothes, too. Can't forget about them. The nerve of them to show us all up. Hate the rich."

I would rather be a pompous ass than an idiot like you.

12:13 Why are you posting on here? Shouldn't you be working the streets with your "hate the rich" bull crap.

WOW. Guess I'm going to have to quit wearing all my blingy Sam Moon jewerly. It's just a matter of time before people like 11:07 and 12:13 start attacking people because they drive better cars, have better houses, etc.
