Random Monday Morning Thoughts


  • Iowa woman gives birth to a 13 pounder. Fox 4's Lauren Pryzbyl this morning commented with an "ouch" which led co-host Tim Ryan to stare silently off to the side. 
  • The Boyd ISD held a meeting to get citizen input on what the wanted in a new head football coach. Most said they wanted a "godly" man. That sounds nice, but it also would be illegal discrimination based upon religion, wouldn't it?
  • I somehow got sucked into watching the "Winter X Games" on ESPN last night. Watching a guy attempt a double back flip on a snowmobile is 100% Idiocracy. And, if interested, it did not go well.
  • I got an AARP card in the mail. An authentic AARP card. I qualify. I depressed.
  • A guy in Dallas killed three family members last Friday and almost every media report noted that he was captured after going through Taco Bueno and ordering a "breakfast sausage burritto "
  • The "military's deadliest sniper" was on WBAP today hawking his book. I don't why that guy bugs me so much, but he really does.
  • I'm tired of hearing about Betty White. 
  • Horrible accident near Texas Tech over the weekend when a vehicle driven by a twenty-something jumped a curb, killed a bicyclist, and then rolled the vehicle killing his two passengers. Yep, alcohol is suspected.
  • The Colts would have to pay Peyton Manning $28 million to keep him on the roster next year? That's a no brainer. Cut him. 
  • The grandmother from Happy Gilmore and the old man neighbor from Home Alone died last year. For some reason, people were mentioning it this weekend.  By the way, I think Home Alone is a horrible movie. Edit: Now news comes that Elaine's boss on Seinfeld, Mr. Pitt, has died. It character actor catastrophe. 
  • I can tell when some people are having an emotional break down by just following them on Twitter. 
  • People are calling Wise County residents (per the Update) and posing as DEA agents and wanting a fine paid because they know they had purchased drugs over the Internet. Which means that there are a lot of people purchasing drugs over the Internet if that scam works. 
  • The Machine Gun Kelley shotgun auctioned over the weekend (another Update reference) has a weird history. It first ended up in the hands of Las Vegas mogul Benny Binion who for unknown reasons gave it to the owner of Billy Bob's Texas who for unknown reasons gave it to a "prominent Las Vegas business man." 
  • Edit: I had this whole thing typed out and "bam" it got deleted 10 minutes before deadline. The above was a mad scramble.

Chris Kyle probably bugs you because he is a manly man. You wouldn't know anything about that Skippy. The first day of SEAL training would have you balling like a 10 year old school girl.

BG,

I don't think it is a good idea to tell a sniper that he bugs you.

A couple of welfare babies dumped? Bet it was more important for momma to get her crack pipe on.

The strangest part of the triple murder story isn't that the media is reporting that the guy bought something to eat. He probably worked up an appetite with all that stabbing. The surprising part is this last sentence: "The couple's three children and other relatives could not be reached for comment."
Hmmm, kids aren't answering the phone?! Let's see...mom, gramma and grandpa are dead and dad is in jail because of it. And the kids don't wanna talk about it? How inconsiderate!

Drugs bought over the internet are not necessarily illicit drugs. I would think you might be targeted even if you only by asperins, vitamins, tylenol, medical supplies, etc.

A Godly man might be the request of the the Boyd community, but if he loses, it won't matter how Godly he is, he gets fired.

amen 10:24 I was about to post the same. Of course everyone wants a man of high moral characte, no one wants a Jerry Sandusky. Let that godly man go 2-8 a couple of years and he's out on his godly ass.They need to hire within. A couple of good candidates exist and schools and companies preach loyalty all the time but seldom practice it. Seems to many (not all) schools think loyalty is a one way street

Boyd should hire Danny Neighbors from Paradise.

That's horrible!!! How could any mother abandon such beautiful little girls!?!? She could've at least left them with something to drink, like a bowl of antifreeze or something!

But look where hiring within got them with their current Superintendent. What a BoZo he his.

If they can't get a Godley man maybe they can get one from Joshua. If you want to win you might try Aledo.

An ego maniac, 12:23?

Come on, tell us what you been smoking.

The interview he gave this morning on WBAP wasn't from and ego maniac.

How would they know if he was Godly? You can't ask. And isn't it only descrimination if you don't get the job because of your religion?

I'll just leave this here about the sniper:

I'm willing to accept that a country needs men like this guy, but it's very disturbing to celebrate one.

After following your blog for a while now, I can probably figure out why Chris Kyle (sniper dude) bugs you...

First off, he's a killer. Maybe a natural born killer, maybe the military training made him that way. Either way, the man can kill.

Secondly, most of the targets he's dispatched were in a country of which you believe we should be in at all.

Thirdly, he has written a book about his time in Trash-ganastan. For some reason you think this he is sticking his chest out proudly and people on the curb applaud.

His book isn't about what a badass he is (which he is)or wanting to show off his skill as an individual. He is more akin to SGT York from WWI. Dozens of books and several movies have been made about SGT York's heroism and bravery, but no one thinks poorly of this.

Just because his book is an assisted autobiographical work, doesn't change the message. What's the message? You'll have to read the book first!!! Which is my point, you, once again, are baseing your opinion of something on less than all of the information.

Well done counsellor. Way to show your colors.

One of the concerned citizens/preacher who wanted a "Godly" man has a brother who just might want that job. Hmmm...

If I were the greatest and most lethal sniper in US miliary history and I never mentioned it publicly but someone wrote a book about me they did the bragging it would be ok. If I write the book and declare myself all those things then I would be an ego maniac. Donald Trump is the greatest real estate genius in US history, just ask him. This guy is a Trump.

It’s bizarre that the killer went to a Taco Buena after the murders…I mean there was a Taco Cabana right across the street!

Boyd needs to hire someone from the outside. The two candidates from inside would barely pass the standard for water boy!

No thanks for the one from Paradise!

Will they euthanize those two kids dumped on the street if nobody claims them in so many days?

I would suggest Boyd call up John the Baptist, but he keeps losing his head in situations of conflict.

Their mother probably just gone into the ally to get a joint of some kind and maybe money for something to eat or smoke.

Everyone that wanted a "godly man" attends the same church in Boyd. The preacher at that church has a brother who is a coach who would love to have that job. Some of the people who spoke do not even have children in our district. I believe that if we have an existing employee who wants and is qualified for the job they should be our first choice.
