Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts


  • I think Trick or Treating has made a comeback over the last few years. However, Mrs. LL pointed out that I might think that because I'm no longer shutting off all the lights and pretending I'm not home. 
  • Funniest costume to visit the front door last night. A girl with a blond wig and a dress with fake shrimp pinned to it. "I"m a Shrimp on the Barbie!"
  • One of our neighbors decided it would be fun to run out from time to time from behind his house with a chain saw.  Might want to rethink that next year.
  • Not sure what I thought about the pickup that parked in front of my house for an hour after unloading a ton of kids from the back. And by "back" I mean pickup "bed." 
  • Awkward moment: Oldest girl in the House forgot to tell us she invited a friend over. The friend and her two sisters show up along with their dad who was in a full Michael Myers ("Halloween") costume. He never took off the mask. 
  • Gordon Keith on The Ticket this morning: "I put out a sign that said 'out of candy' at 8:00 p.m. but the doorbell kept ringing. I might have helped if I had written it in five different languages." 
  • I don't think it was necessary to have a bunch of fake spiders in my shower this morning.
  • The Ticket's Junior Miller thought these lawn decorations looked like Klansmen. 
  • Finally got to re-watch the 9th inning of Game Six late last night in peace and quiet. Oh, my. It was worse than I remembered.
  • Most wheels off DWI driver ever. (That's a solid PG-13 link on The Smoking Gun which is owned by CourtTV.)
  • When I heard the world's population reached 7 billion yesterday all I could think about was Kip Dynamite saying, "Like anyone could possibly know that."
  • Edit: That crazy couple just got crazier.

Does the LL in Mrs. LL stand for living large on your dime?

Why did they need that woman in the DWI video to walk backwards towards them? Did they think she was going to pull a gun out of her privates and start shooting at them? If a driver is obviously impaired, don't you put them at danger of falling and hurting themselves by making them walk backwards?

Kip Dynamite is on to something there. It doesn't "add up" when the folks doing the tabulating say the population is now at 7 billion. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "We think the population is at least 7 billion"? Heck, we can't even accurately determine how many illegals there are in this country, and my understanding is that addition is one of the easier portions of 'rithmetic, which we're supposed to be decent at. Not to mention we keep track of folks better than most others. There's entire countries that aren't even on the grid
The statement should be "We know there are at least 7 billion folks on the planet, because that's the headcount we got so far. There's probably a lot more than that, but some of you haven't checked in yet!"


The shrimp on the Barbie costume thing is funny. Wonder if the girl had any idea what it really meant

Why no outrage from the weenies on Jon Corzine running a company into the ground after only two years and walking away with 12 million dollars?

Game 6 is going to be a HUGE monkey on the back of the Texas Rangers.

Man, all of the recent Random Girl pics have either been ugly as all hell or skanks. Used to be, I'd pause work for a distracting pic and read of local news, but over the last few weeks, I've found myself cringing while clicking on the favorite link. If the Random Girl pic was your entire job, you'd be on double secret probation. Do better, or I might just have to keep visiting anyways.

The DWI chick just seems misunderstood.

Naked, racist, foul-mouthed drunks don't have it easy in this world...

You have to be illiterate! I think the "outrage" is playing out in every major city in the country and just a few overseas.

Corzine was a 1%er formerally at Goldman Sachs before becoming a politician, and then GB's CEO.

He could absolutely be the posterboard child for all that is wrong in our financial world.

Hey, man, I'd marry Kim Kardashian for 72 days. Bet the severance pay was pretty good and the fringe benefits were not too shabby. My wife might have a problem with it (then agin she might not)but who's gonna know, right?

Best costume of the night -- dirty laundry. Had a laundry basket around the waist filled with clothing and underwear pinned all over the outfit. Really funny.
