Day #6 Of The Break Up

And Britney still looks OK. I'll keep you posted. Edit: Things may not be going well after all.

Remind Me Never To Buy A Harley

A round-up of photos from an annual Harley gathering in upstate New York. (Warning: Some will find a couple of them offensive. I'm just offended by the body size.)

I Visit Stadiums . . .

. . . but I don't recreate them with Legos. This is Ohio State's stadium. (Source.)

Political Junkies

If you want to see a precinct by precinct break down of last week's election, local Republican Chairman D.A. Sharpe tells me they are posted here.

I Haven't Decided If . . .

I think the new Pat Tillman statue is cool or creepy.

A courthouse administrative assistant who will remain nameless (Mary) went home for lunch today and saw ~~two~~ four guys burglarizing her home. The guys fled in their own vehicle, and sweet Mary, being the scared and timid person that she is, decided to pursue them by car. I'm not exactly sure what happened next other than a few calls to the police prompted an all out manhunt and a police scanner frenzy. I think the guys were caught, but I haven't confirmed this. Mary's fine although she will be forever known as the girl that proclaimed shortly after the chase, "My car can do 113 mph!"

What the?

More here. And it was stolen from BagOfNothing.com (Which I steal from way too much.)

I Cannot Justify Posting This

And Yet Again

But check out who the teacher is married to.

Everyone Gets A Trophy. No One Is A Loser.

The 5A division of Texas high school football is sending FOUR teams from each district to the playoffs this year. Incredible. But as I was looking around trying to find the worst records of some 5A team that was headed to the playoffs, I came across a couple of 3A teams that should never, ever be in the playoffs with those records. That would be Andrews v. Levelland. And what's up with that Fort Stockton bye?

T.O. At Post Game Press Conference Today

I gots to get me some of those.

This Will Be In The Update Tomorrow

Decatur won the state championship in boy's cross-country this weekend. Some Decatur kid named Scott Harrison, who runs faster than I ever thought of, finished second with a time of 16:11.65. (I think the distance is a little over three miles, but I don't much about cross-country.)

I'm Going To Counseling

Why didn't I celebrate the demise of my most hated college nemesis? Why do I feel a little sad? Why am I saying if Colt McCoy hadn't been knocked senseless as an MHMR patient that Texas would have won? I don't know. The world is just better when the Yankees, the Cowboys, and . . . dare I say it . . . the Longhorns are on top. We all need someone to hate. And it's better when those we hate are deserving of our hatred. I now question everything I've ever believed.

I'm So Mad That I Missed . . .

. . . Celebrity Jeopardy last week. Nancy Grace, my most hated person in the history of ever, was on the show competing against Regis Philbin and some guy from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. I looked on The Google and found this snippet (from another blog) regarding the results: Grace, whose smile is a perpetual sneer and whose Southern accent quickly becomes even more annoying escaping from it, did show a little bit of likeability when she said she objected to the audience and that they were sucking up to Regis. In the end, Regis won by one dollar. Nancy Grace came in third, proving once again that sometimes, good does indeed triumph over dark, horrible, retching, unfathomable evil. The Democrats win the Senate and the House. Rumsfeld resigns. Britney gets divorced . . . . All in the space of 48 hours. It's as if God has woken up and all is right in the world.
