Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts



  • The Springtown "spanking case" is borderline nuts as the school board changed the policy last night to allow men to paddle female students. Prediction: That gets changed within the week once they hear the outcry. 
  • And we've seen some Springtown mommas ham it up for the news cameras, but where are the daddies?
  • I had no idea that corporeal punishment was still dished out in school. But its even more incredible because these kids are teenagers.
  • That was one exasperated dad on Fox 4 last night who was sitting in front of 31 months of tollway bills for his son. None of them were past due, they just all arrived at the same time.
  • Another sexual assault on the SMU campus but this time it's between two males. 
  • The end of the Green Bay / Seattle game last night may be the nail in the coffin for the replacement referees based upon the final play. (If you haven't seen it, track it down.) And Clay Matthews was so angry that he purportedly posted Roger Goodell's phone number (if that is a private one, he's in big trouble.)
  • The Musers this morning said that the call wasn't "obviously wrong." They took a beating on that one. 
  • But I knew it was a big deal when Mrs. LL's first words to me this morning was, "What happened in that game last night?" 
  • Someone nicknamed the catch this morning as, "The Inaccurate Reception." 
  • Want to see a wreck where a guy goes through a windshield and lands on his feet? Sure you do. 
  • Speaking of wrecks, something happened on 287 south of Rhome this morning causing an 18 wheeler to end up in the opposite bar ditch and prompting the dispatch of a couple of ambulances. It's right there at CR 4838 where everyone makes mad dashes across 287.
  • Mrs. LL and both got new car registration stickers. This morning, I discovered mine is on hers and hers is missing. She has a project now. 
  • One of my taillights burned out. When you can replace it without having to get out a single tool, that's smart engineering.

Seriously, who honestly gives a crap about the refs.

The replacement guys are like little league umpires. I don't care if they are bad so long as they are bad both ways.

They work sixteen days a year. Shut the 'f' up and get a job waiting tables at IHOP if you need extra income.

The Musers were right.... if the regular refs were working that game last night, the call wouldn't have been any different. It was a crazy play, but that's all by rule.

No pass interference call will be called on a hail mary..... and dual possession goes to the offense....and that was dual possession as both had the ball before they were down.

The end of the Packers game was the absolute worst.

I will never understand how Don Meredith missed Bob Hayes in the end zone. Arrgghh!

Mr. Mike Honcho said...

No, the Muser's were wrong.

If the regular refs were on the field the ruling would not have been a simoultaneous (sp?) catch. It would instead have been ruled a GB interception.

The play was reviewed by a regular referee in the booth. But, at that point the booth could only review whether catch was a completion or not, not who actually had possession.

This was the explanation by Mike Lombardi, and I will believe that one. I listened to this interview the Musers had with Mike and I think he nailed it.

Rex, the reason people care about this is you have two games where the outcome may have been decided by a replacement ref. Those two games have real world money implications and could effect playoff's which has even more implications for $$$.

Paddling should be a given in school as well as, home. And, who cares who gives the paddling. It didn't matter when we were in school and all was well.

Today's society is such a joke. You Liberals are the biggest panty wastes I've ever seen! What you've done to this country is astounding!

8:52 I believe you and Musers are correct....
Though many calls have been bogus, that call was correct using the tie goes to the receiver rule.
Look it up.
As far as the RTGs go....
Is that the the "I've got two of them and they are right here" sign???

Re: SMU guy/guy assault
That's your fault Green, for posting that vidcap of the Aggie dudes gettin' it on in the stayd-jum. The rest of the nation follows the lead of the SEC, right?

No love for the Rangers and their big win last night? Or are you waiting until after they clinch to jump on the bandwagon? Then declare they will lose in the first series? Which they might, if their starting pitchers can't get it together. The offense really needs to step it up right now!

You know how those one of those girls in Springtown could have stayed out of the paddle mess? Not smarted off with her mouth to begin with. Pretty simple don't you think?

Paddling may be okay, but it certainly needs to be witnessed by a parent. I was paddled for a prank in high school, 1978. Five "lick" resulted in major bruising and anal bleeding for two days. Did I stop being the class clown? NO! Would I like to see the principle that gave me that "beating" today? YES!

is "paddling" what they called it in 1978?

I've gotten plenty of spankings in my life, none resulting in anal bleeding.

Are you certain it was blood?

What are the chances these comments get approved?

Dang! Either you have zero ass or there were nails in that paddle!

I remember back in the day one of my classmates getting paddled all of the time. He was swatted with everything that had a handle all the way through elementary and junior high. You could count on him getting a paddling at least once a week. Back then teachers didn't worry about all that stuff, just jerked him out of his seat & started whipping.

If I had time I'd head down to Huntsville later today and check on him. But, I don't need to be in a hurry, he'll be living down there on the taxpayer's dime for a few more years till he's up for parole.

Thank goodness we had good discipline back then or there's no tellin' what might have happened to him.

11:09's story illustrates the strange thought patterns of Texans. Conservatives say they want to keep the government out of our lives. But it is "you liberals" that work to prevent the government, in the form of a school official, from using that form of torture on a child. I am not opposed to a "lick" but it needs to be monitored. 10:54 is correct also. If you move outside the accepted norm you have to be ready for the consequences. In a later post on this blog, up the page, they talk about drawing blood for DWI or inspecting your cell phone. It is "you liberal" that work to prevent the abuse of search and seizure by the government.

I am a proud liberal. I believe in progress.

We all know somone like this. When something is absolutely obvious to the rest of the world, there will always be someone that will take the opposite side. They think this makes them stand out as unique, as someone that doesn't run with the pack. You know, the guy at work that has lived here all his life but way back, he decided he would be a Redskins fan.
8:52, you're a dillweed.

Those mothers made me laugh. I guess everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame, so that was theirs. I have seen men paddle students and I have never seen one so hard that it caused bruising that lasted so long. i do agree that perhaps the parents should be in there, but only so that they can see that their darlings need discipline. Discipline isn't a negative word, it just means following a prescribed set of society rules. Break the rules and there are consequences. Don't break the rules and life is good. My son used to weigh the punishment against the "crime" to see if that little bit of fun was worth it. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but he took his consequences like a man. And he is a man to be proud of today.

I agree with the taillight comment, having recently replaced one that required disassembly of a couple of trunk panels.

But, 2:11's comment was pretty good!

Let's give the 'spanking' issue some context. I think it would be alright to do if there is a parental consent. It should read: I________ give ______________ school permission to strike my child with a stick. I understand possible side effects are kidney damage and nerve damage to his/her (circle one) lower back and legs...
