Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • Another police officer controversy in Dallas as a female officer who goes by the alternative name of "Lucille Baller" (funny, by the way) posts a video showing her in "provocative" clothes and brandishing a weapon. Maybe I'm getting soft, but for the second day in a row I'll say: "I doesn't both me at all."
  • The "War on Christmas" rhetoric beats me down.
  • I can finally see how people get attached to dogs.
  • We've decided to release the wild bunnies into the wild. Let me tell you, tears flowed by some people in the house last night. (Not me. Those things are driving me nuts.)
  • There are lots of jobs for commercial driver's license holders.  Is driving for a living a hard job? Stressful? Uncomfortable? Loud? 
  • Golf will ban the "belly putter".  That device always looked unfair to me. 
  • I-35 to Waco or to Austin has been under construction for all my life it seems.
  • The please-move-the-deer-crossing audio has been around for about three months. I finally listened to it last night. That's fake, right? 
  • Sports: (1) Gary Patterson rumored for the Auburn job? I'd stay at TCU, (2) Isn't it odd that #4 Florida will get an automatic BCS bid while the loser of higher ranked Georgia/Alabama game will end up at some spare bowl?, (3) If Baylor ended up in the Pinstripe Bowl, I'd be very tempted to go to New York City, and (4) Conspiracy theory: Dirk didn't have surgery. He's just old and they want to rest him for the first couple of months.
  • Remember the model from Paradise?
  • I hate those Facebook "postcard" postings (or whatever you call them) but I saw one which was a split screen photo with Shirley Temple on one side and Honey Boo Boo on the other with the caption of "What happened to us?" underneath it. Kind of funny. 
  • Fox 4's Steve Eager made fun of Heather Hayes last night for using the word "gotta". 
  • I got my two trial cases resolved yesterday. One little client hugged me because she was so excited but I still wonder if I did enough for her. 
  • There's a 24 year old out of Aurora in the Update's death announcements. Anyone?
  • About 15 years ago, I fascinated about buying at auction a old news teletype announcing the JFK assissantion. I think it went for $10,000 which I couldn't even justify as an "investment". I heard on the Ticket yesterday that Heritage Auctions was selling a "batch" of those teletypes. The current bid is only $600.
  • Ticket Fans only: When I was at the in-laws in Arkansas, there was a huge breakfast going on where the cook kept yelling, "You want scrambled or an omelet ", "How many eggs do you want?" and "We are cooking eggs over here!" I promise my brain could only hear the Ticket drop of "What about eggs?!"
  • I was a bum in Arkansas. All I did (when not playing Capture the Man With The Flag) was read magazines and watch football while Mrs. LL and a bunch of relatives I hardly know played marathon card sessions. It was fantastic.

Must be slow news because who cares about the Dallas police woman stuff. What a waste of department resources.

Yep, I can see that video being real after all isn't Betty White from St Olaf in Mn. :)

Police always getting ragged on because people think they violate their civil rights, but what they don't see is how police departments, city council, and police administrators jack with the cops civil rights by controlling their every move thru SOP's.

I'm sure the coyotes appreciate you releasing the bunnies. Coyotes got to eat too.

"I can finally see how people get attached to dogs."

Got married a few years ago and my wife had a couple of inside toy dogs. I was raised in a no animals in the house enviroment and knew the dogs inside would be a tough compromise. I was pretty vocal about it upfront but she didn't budge. She also sleeps with the dogs, which I thought was nasty. About 3 weeks in to the situation she wakes up early one morning and snaps a picture with the dogs all piled up on me, one on top of my head, the other perched on my side. I am a sound sleeper and didn't really notice, but she said this had been going on for about 2 weeks. She would wake up each morning and get them off of me and put them in their room before I woke. I am so attached to those little shiats now I wouldn't know what to do without them.

Gary Patterson has put in a lot of work getting himself, and the program, to this point. College coaches are remembered best for long reigns at one school and winning records, and he's got both here. He's not the kind of guy that whores himself out for a couple hundred grand more than what he's making now (which is A LOT!)

It's possible the deer crossing audio is fake, but you know there are people out there who actually are that clueless (and my next point references one of them)

I fail to see the humor in the Shirley Temple comparison. She was a household name because she had talent. Then she transitioned to young adult actress, and became an ambassador - a minor one, but still...
She did something with her life other than living off her fame.
The other one became an immediate punchline in the post-Jerry Springer reality. You can't fault her, though. She's a product of her environment.

RTG is okay

The female Dallas police officer is a redbone. Her daughter even calls herself Red Bettie.

The Paradise model is throwing down a Tiffani Amber Thiessen look it appears to me.

Carry on.

Don't blame you for not going out while up in Arkansas. In rural areas up there, if the neighbors don't know you, you could wind up playing "Squeel like a pig" with a big ugly neighbor.

the "belly putter". That device always looked unfair to me. Because your so little, you use a normal putter for a belly putter. I-35 traffic, here we go w/ the Spud Kennedy repeat, and Spud had to work the Koffe Kup into his story, Imagine that Spud and his Jowls discussing food.

I'd like to bump it just hard enough to knock that thing outta her navel and across the room.
