Stay Classy, Drudge

Good to see that Drudge is taking the high road with his advertising on The Drudge Report.

This Man Does Not Have Hair Problems

ESPN Classic has been replaying old "American Gladiator" episodes. But nothing will stop you down like the required double take of seeing Malibu being interviewed. And the man has the worst Spicoli impersonation in the history of ever.

America Is Crazy

Hey, Not

Rosie talks via a webcam. (And clicking on the image won't play it.) Link is here.

I can't concentrate on what she is saying because I'm distracted by the whole crazy scene going on around her. It's just bizarre to see a celebrity look like she just got back from the dollar store.

Wow

(Star Telegram photo.)

Just heard a story on WBAP about three children and a woman being found dead in a Parker County home this morning. I also heard something about a noose.

As soon as I find a link, I'll post it.

Edit: The DMN beats the Star Telegram with the first story. And one sentence in that short story is shocking (in a story that is already shocking.)

Edit 2: The Star-Telegram wasn't far behind. (And it has this quote: "We got a mess.’’)

Edit 3: The Star-Telegram with some relevant info:

NBC 5 television reported that the bodies were those of a 23-year-old mother and her three daughters, ages 5, 3 and 2. The station reported that the mother’s sister discovered the bodies, which were hanging in a closet. The station reported that authorities had contact the woman's ex-husband.

Edit 4: It's now being called a "Triple Murder Suicide."

Random Prom Pic

Bet those boys will regret that in a few years.

Movie Going Fun

I normally like the Metro Cinema in Colleyville, but this was my first time yesterday in the "upstairs" theater. You would think seeing a movie that has been out for a couple of months would not be a cause for concern when it comes to the issue of seating.

Wrong.

Especially when the theater seats about 50 people (and I'm not kidding.) Here is a pic with my camera phone from my seat on the front row. Talk about the life force being sucked out of me.

Lindsay Plays Hard

Saw This On Monday

The previews for this flick have been running in theaters for months and it looked pretty good. It turned out to be, uh, ok. I'm willing to suspend belief as much as the next guy to enjoy a movie but this thing asked too much of me. Simply not believable. And, for those that have seen it, the basic legal premise that wraps the movie up in a tight little bow is, in my opinion, wrong.

And I had two power down moments when the hero uttered "I hate to lose" and "I'll see you in court" within 15 minutes of each other.

Opening Of Miss Universe Pageant

Good stuff.

And even though I didn't see it, I just read that Tony Romo was judge. I'll say it again: The Cowboys are doomed.

Edit: Miss Japan won the thing. On Memorial Day, no less. I, for one, am not willing to forget about Pearl Harbor.

Huh?

Dale Jr. on his 8th place finish yesterday at the Coca-Cola 600 (as seen on ESPN's Sports Center.):

"Had a good car so I won't be sad on Memorial Day. We'll be able to party."

Drive By It All The Time

. . . and forget how cool it really is.

Cool Shot

I've been to that restaurant in the tower one time. And the oddest of memories: It was the night that Mike Tyson got knocked out for the first time.

Indy 500 Hotness

What does today's Indy 500 winner have in common with Ashley Judd? He's married to her. (Just learned that on Dale Hansen's Sport's Special.)

Edit: Someone has commented that this is not a picture of Ashley Judd. It's not? I just grabbed it off the first page of an Ashley Judd google image search.

Reflections

I saw that former Baylor president Herbert Reynolds died on Friday.

I was instantly taken back to an afternoon class at law school where I had sat for half of a semester by a very attractive girl. Finally, I overheard one of her conversations and discovered that she was the daughter of Reynolds who was at that time the president of the university.

I hardly ever talked to her. She was pretty cute. That was enough to intimidate me.

But I managed to utter the words, "I didn't know you were the president's daughter."

"You never asked," came her reply.

Injustice Anywhere

Northwest High School sports has never been on my radar screen, but the girl's softball team has been interesting to follow in passing this year primarily because of pitcher Brittany Barnhill (who has like a krillion strikeouts.)

Anyway, Northwest had a playoff series scheduled this week against Flower Mound Marcus. What happened was insane:
- It's a best of three series to begin on Thursday, but the rain came down, and the series is changed to a winner take all one game series. One game? You've got to be kidding.
- The game had been scheduled to be played at Fossil Ridge but the game was moved to Saginaw Boswell because of wet conditions (which is odd, since the two fields are probably five miles from each other.)
- They play the final game on Friday, but the rain began again, so it was suspended in the bottom of the fourth. They plan on resuming the game for Saturday in Weatherford.
- On Saturday, and I have no idea how they make these last minute changes, the game is resumed in Abilene because it's too wet in Weatherford.
- "Sarah Draheim hit a 2-0 pitch over the right-field fence with no outs in the bottom of the seventh, sending Flower Mound Marcus (25-6) to its first state tournament with a 1-0 win over Justin Northwest at Abilene Christian University."

That is one wheels off playoff system.

Extra Note: I noticed that someone thinks a lot of Barnhill who has signed to play college ball at with the Evil Empire.
