- I'm hearing there is news of a pretty big scandal coming up at Holiday ISD.
- One of the greatest lines in any songs comes from a pretty unlikely one: "And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time." (Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman")
- I did the dumbest thing this weekend by thinking I had lost something, went to the store and replaced it, and then returned home to find out it was not lost at all.
- Then it got weirder when I sold it to a friend for 33% of its cost. But I felt better when he said, "It's a bargain because you won't be reminded of seeing it every day."
- I can't stand Clint Eastwood and have never liked his movies. That being said, I watched "The Outlaw Josey Wales" yesterday. Big, bit thumbs up. I now know why his fans defend him so much despite such train wrecks as "Million Dollar Baby."
- Yep, Mrs. LL didn't think the Kennedale teacher deserved five years. You guys got the "A Few Good Men" reference when I posted that below, right?
- Saw on the news: A really cute girl breaks her ankle while hiking and videos herself while waiting for help.
- Gov. Perry says he'll run for re-election. I don't know how, but I bet he'll win.
- Raced the Freshman-In-The-House (good grief) in a 50 meter swim race. I lost. I can't believe I lost.
- I think a Polaroid print-an-instant-picture camera might actually sell right now. So old school. So permanent.
- After years and years, I've planned another football weekend trip. This time to New Orleans. Will see an LSU night game, and a New Orleans Saints day game (which just happens to be against the Redskins which means I get to see RG3's first NFL game.) Mrs. LL is going along and she's already giddy. Really.
- Based upon the prices, they are pretty proud of their hotels in New Orleans.
- I plan on driving through the Ninth Ward.
- A Congressman has to apologize for skinning dipping? Normally I'd say no, but doing it in the Sea of Galilee might change my mind.
- The director of "Top Gun" has jumped off a bridge to his death.
- Everytime I hear Matthew McConaughey's voice on that energy company commercial I turn to Mrs. LL and say, "I'm thinking of going to Austin and takin' my shirt off."
- I cut my hair off. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner.

Is it too soon for a "Highway to the Danger Zone" reference?

No, but I would keep the "A Bridge too Far" comments to yourself...

She is cute.
Those huge sunglasses can make even the hottest girl look dim-witted.
Man that was a wad of hair. Now you can buy smaller pants that will fit better.
Outlaw Josey Wales = Best. Movie. Ever.
Did you know Fletcher is the same actor who played Dean Wormer in Animal House? (Best. Comedy. Ever.)
Dang, movies were so much better when we were growing up.
I would recommend "Pale Rider" and "Unforgiven".
Here's one of my favorite quotes from Urpin Cowboy.
Bud:All cowboys ain't dumb. Some of 'em got smarts real good, like me.
and something else about Glen Campbell that U wouldn't think, he is one of the best guitarist ever.
Skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee--how liberating! And you thought those guys were a bunch of stuff-shirts!!
I have friends that are coaches and know the ones in Holliday. Big scandal about to break. Coaches and wives are all involved. I hear possible indictments on conduct going to come down on them. Horrible situation. All coaches and teachers could learn a lesson from the Kennedale teacher. You can and will get caught and you possibly could go to jail and ruin your family and your career. Is having sex worth all that...I think not!
X-Chan & Fuzzy's are both open for business on the square. Reunion on the Square now features its sports bar and occasional live music...
I've just done more to get the word out about these recent additions to our food scene than the city funded Main Street director. Why does Decatur pay her again?
how bout i just come down there and beat some sense into you.
DF Filo Beddo right turn clyde
Republican version of women's healthcare: "If legitimately raped, a woman's body just shuts down and she won't get pregnant."
That's some party platform!

I plan on driving through the ninth ward. Take 99 more lawyers with you.
About time you got a haircut. You fit in too well with your clients friends and family last week.
Shouldn't neglect charges be brought against the parents of the the "abused" children?
Obviously aside from being oversexed these children are undersupervised.
Josey Wales-:"buzzards gotta eat, same as worms." Reckon so.
Glen Campbell that U wouldn't think, he is one of the best guitarist ever.
Uhh, you misspelled 'Roy Clark.'
I would recommend... and "Unforgiven".
Because you want him t keep hating Eastwood? Morgan Freeman in a western? No amount of back story can fix that.
Rage
Every time I hear Matthew McConnaughey's voice on the Reliant commercials - I stop EVERYTHING and listen. (And I never listen to commercials.) But I love to listen to that lovely man's voice.
Do you think Reliant did some research that confirmed there are more like me?
You may be in your skin suit, but it is called skinny dipping not skinning dipping...must have been your auto correct or your fingers can't spell.
I'm a huge Eastwood fan. Pale Rider, High Plains Drifter, all the Dirty Harrys. The good movies outweigh the bad. Clint uses a lot of the same actors in his films. In Outlaw Josey Wales, he uses several of the bikers from the Philo Beddo movies as extras. On a side note, Len Lesser, who played Uncle Leo on Seinfeld, was one of the cowboys who tried to rob him.
Other Eastwood trivia: he filmed Every Which Way But Loose and brought it to the studios to release in 1978. They thought it was so awful they didn't want to release it. They did and it was the second highest grossing film of the year right behind Superman. Also, Heartbreak Ridge has some great lines. How can you not like Eastwood!?!
"Well, you boys going to pull them pistols or whistle Dixie?"
Best movie line ever!!!
Big Tex
Barry, welcome to my wheelhouse! Fantastic music quotes? Really, you ought to do a whole day on this. Maybe even make a poll. My two favorites: From The Rolling Stones' Honkey Tonk Woman, "She blew my nose and then she blew my mind."; From Nickleback's Something in your Mouth, "You gotta get a little dirty when you're diggin' for gold", and my personal, from the Really, that isn't even fair Department, Frank Zappa's Yellow Snow, "Watch out where the Huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow."
In Nawlins, you want to stay @ a chain hotel with a good reputation for quality. If you stay @ a local flavor hotel you'll pay extra for a smaller room with fewer perks.
What's the plastic in her hand? Credit Card, School ID, Driver License?
Perry can only win re-election again if someone else in the Republican party doesn't run against him in a primary. If it's Perry vs a Dem candidate, then he could win again, solely on political lines.
Perry running again?
Sure he'll win with all the rabid Texas Republicans out voting for him.
Sick. Just, sick.
"And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time."
If I said that to a woman, I would come off as clingy and be thrown to the curb in a New York minute.
I can't fathom why you dislike Clint Eastwood. Have you see Unforgiven (just as equal a masterpiece as Outlaw Josey Wales, IMO)?
And how could you not like Gran Torino?
The Jackal
"I plan on driving through the ninth ward." Take 99 other lawyers with you.
NOLA hotels are expensive. Save a few bucks and stay in Metairie.
Make sure you drive across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, it's the longest bridge in the world.
Long hair does not become you Mr. Green.
9:05 You mean there was a SEX-CA-PAID going on at Holiday ISD?
bacon gone kawaazee again !!!
FYI- Saw a random commercial on late night TV with 'Octo MOM' promoting Octoloan.com. Unbelievalbe!
Hotel Maison Dupuy- French Quarter, reasonable. Rabid Republican.
A broken ankle, and she cant limp down the hill?!?! Weak. Stop tryin' to steal my thunder!!!
DF Aaron Ralston
OMG, no more Perry. I have a blow up doll that I could clean up and lend who would do a better job. Enough of Rick Perry. He is useless.
Are there enough intelligent voters in the state of Texas to make this happen?
Daddy will win simply because he's teh incumbent on the repub ticket. Hell, er'yone knows any warm body on the conservative ticket will get elected. The primary will be a joke, so no worries there either.
10:19 At least Perry will win legitimately and not like a certain someone in 2008 who won with votes from dead people, pets and criminals.
I like Eastwood too. Gran Torino was great and the Bridges of Madison County. The man is as versatile as they come.
The only one that might be a bit better is Robert Duvall.
Both just incredibly talented!
The Reliant commercial is the only commercial I "listen" to. Doesn't get any sexier than that!
"IN YOUR FACE....HEAT!"
Another ape attack, this time in Grapevine. They stabbed to death an old white man in a wheel chair.
http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/08/20/4192585/neighbors-of-stabbed-grapevine.html
Dirty Harry would know what to do to these animals. You can't trust any of 'em.
I hope you are planning on staying a few days in New Orleans....great food, great people watching, great music, great fun and an LSU and Saints game in the same day....I died and went to heaven!
I am an Eastwood fan, but Unforgiven was a mess of a movie that made absolutely no sense. The only admirable quality about the film, and to me what made it somewhat watchable, was Hackman's performance.
The film was short on plot and long on events that were never likely to have occurred despite the praise it received for the way it handled the myth of the old west. Cowboys and Aliens was more believable.
NOLA hotels are certainly pricey.... but you want to stay downtown around the French quarter so you can walk everywhere. Parking is atrocious to find and you don't want to fight that.
Enjoy the weekend downtown.... when the Saints play in town the party is amped up.
Relative to the rest of the nation, Texas has done pretty well economically during Perry's time in office. That will count for a lot. (A politician who can actually run on his record!) On the other hand, if he wins in 2014, that would give him (theoretically) eighteen years in office. The anti-incumbent mood might be strong enough to knock him off in the primaries, especially if a strong challenger feels like trying to ride that horse. Perry's poor performance in the presidential primaries will likely be mentioned a few times.
ALL SEX IS GOOD SOME JUST MORE EXPENSIVE
Go ahead punk..make my day..
You a bounty hunter?
Man's gotta make a livin.
Dyin ain't much of a livin.
Plus every line he says from Gran Torino.
10:12 The question is "What do you have in your hand?"
Clint Eastwood is an a-hole.
DF Sondra Locke
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "Two Mules for Sister Sarah", "Play Misty for Me" and "Kelly's Heroes" are all pretty good too.
Where is Holiday?
Where is Holiday?
Rage may want to research Campbell's career in the 60's. Roy Clark is much better at the banjo than guitar.(no pun intended, he was a national champion banjo player....seriously)
Rage is familiar with both of them. If your list of best guitar players includes Campbell and not Clark, you have no idea what you're talking about.
This is Clark goofing around for TV:

DON"T stay in Metarie!! Stay in the French Quarter, try The Royal Sonesta (beautiful), The Montleone, (one of NOLA's first hotels in the quarter, it might be a little less expensive). It's only money!!
We're all doomed.
Has wordy come in here to defend the Republican who thinks women only get pregnant by rapists if they were enjoying it?
Or has he ignored his Party's stance on womens' health care?
For those of you debating "geetar" players, don't forget good 'ol Chet Atkins. He also has some notable lyrics: "Once I had an inklin' that you'd come back again; I see now that I was just tinklin' in the wind."
I agree with you Barron...that is a beautifully written (and performed) song. But Glen just performed it, the amazing Jimmy Webb wrote it. He wrote many others but "By the time I get to Phoenix" also performed by Glen, is my favorite.
And, Glen Campbell was a heck of a guitarist in his day. He got his start as a very popular studio musician.
12:37 I wouldn't be poking too much fun at the other party if I were you.
There's enough comedy gold within yours to last a lifetime.
Has Obama figured out he's not up to date on the Paul Ryan Medicare Plan yet? HELLO INCOMPETANCE
LMAO
Not sure I'd call myself a "fan", but I enjoy most Eastwood movies OK. I don't consider any of them to be true "classics" except The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Josey Wales is on my personal Top 20 movies ever list, and in my top 5 best Westerns.
Unforgiven doesn't make it high on the list of Honcho's faves. I would take Silverado over Unforgiven. Heck, I would Megaforce over Unforgiven.
Which brings up a good topic; what are the best "modern" westerns? Say, anything in the last 20 years. Besides Lonesome Dove, what are they? I would say Open Range, 3:10 to Yuma, and Seraphim Falls.
Re:Roy Clark = Very good Guitar Player. Glen ain't too shabby either.
I hate the use of the acronym "NOLA"! Reduces a great city to sounding like some government agency. I love the sound of a true Cajun actually saying the city name.
Same goes for "POTUS" and "SCOTUS", which sound more like a part of the human anatomy then a good acronym. Acronyms are overused in today's world, are we really that lazy.
How many dead people does it take to make Obama president of the good ole USA.
Bahahabahahahaahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Tarrant Co. DA's office employee that went missing looks like it might have been a case of "I'm a party girl screw being responsible".
Hmmm...before lunch today I hit a unicorn with my pickup, talked Michael Jordan out of coming out of retirement, did a Three Stooges bit with One-Eyed Sally (formerly known as "Sally,") and removed all references under the letter N from the Oxford English Dictionary.
But I don't recall specifically defending or ignoring random nonsense. Maybe it's me; I've had a busy morning.
How low can you go with the IQ of a lefty?
12:37 You poor thing. Keep reaching. Maybe those dead people, pets and criminals can help you.
Internet research will confirm that it is rare to get pregnant from a actual rape.
That Randy Girl has nice upper bits but looks like she has a flat backside... meh.
I'd still hit it.
I wonder if you will be like Samson and lose your strength until your hair grows back.(?)
From Clint to all of us, " A man's got to know his limitations."
MILLION DOLLAR BABY a train wreck?
Let's see....in 2004 it won best picture, best director (Eastwood), est actor (Freeman), best actress (Swank). You don't get out much do you.
12:37
What stance on women's health care are you referring to?
Rabid Republicans love women.
Chet Atkins was the best guitarist ever!
The Real Billy
12:24...WE ARE DOOMED...DEC 21 2012
DF Sondra Locke: LOLOL!!
Josey Wales' entire dialog with Ten Bears: Double Thumbs Up!
gern blansten
Nobody mentioned The Beguiled?
Wales-"Everytime I get to liking somebody that aint around long."
Lone Waddy-"I notice every time you get to disliking somebody they aint around long either."
Also Lone Waddy-"Get ready little lady, Hell's comin to breakfast."
I'd rather go to the school in Brooklyn that was featured on Welcome Back Kotter, than DHS!
Polaroid's instant camera was the Swinger in the late 60's, white case with a twist stem that you used for focus and then pushed to snap the picture. When you pulled out the film, you had to peel off the back and wait for a minute for the image to appear. The chemical smell from the film was unforgettable. Like formaldehyde. Hadn't thought about that in years, BG. Can still remember the smell.
Seriously? The 9th Ward? The locals don't even go there. All kidding aside, reconsider that one. Those folks will steal the wheels of your vehicle while you're stopped at a red light. That little drive will knock the "giddy" right out of Mrs. LL
11:48- Agreed. We ended up on a shuttle that dropped off a missionary in the 9th ward before we got to our hotel (might I suggest the french quarter). Anywhoo- It was so sad seeing the ninth ward... In 2007 it still looked like the ocean had washed everything out of the houses into the yards but the yet the people still lived there. It was v eye opening. Another word I would use is "terrifying" and we sent that nice URL off the bus with
... Sent that nice girl off the bus with a wad off cash and all the rest of us on tears by the time we took her where she actually wanted to arrive inside the ninth ward. Ps why your blog gotta be so difficult when I need to backspace and correct something? Jeez! IN tears. Not on tears... But I can't hit backspace, not can I mouse over that section and correct, either.
4:29-
Try not getting quite so drunk before you type. I find it helps a lot
Re; Josey Wales- Most memorable image- Sondra Locke's creamy white bottom.
