Baylor, You're Killing Me

Actual shot before the Rice game last weekend. Remind me never to get fat and talk on a cell phone all the while a young child colors on my belly.

Stuck On You

Remember the nurse's aide in Fort Worth that hit a guy with her car, he became embedded in her windshield, and she drove home and left him there in her garage?

Well, now it's a movie called Stuck starring Mena Suvari. It's completed and looking to be picked up for major distribution.

Crazy Story

A pregnant Austin woman is attacked by her estranged husband last February. She goes into a coma.

Last Thursday, while still in that coma, she gave birth to the child.

All Signing Bonuses Suddenly Seem Too Small

Story. I might be wrong, but NFL players are getting so big and so fast that one of these days there might have to be some fundamental rule changes. It may take 20 years to see it, but I bet something will have to be done. Kickoffs are inherently dangerous, so I could see them eliminated with a team getting the ball on the 25. And the tackler "cannot lead with his head" rule will have to be enforced.

Edit: I just saw that NINE players had season ending injuries after week one.

I May Start Watching The Canadian Football League

Streakers are entertaining. Always. Here we have one on the ground, another takes off with moves better than Emmitt Smith, followed by a guy who refused to take his pants off. I'm embarrassed for the last guy and his lack of guts. Go commando, buddy. Your friends were counting on you.

Random Movie Thought

The Dallas Morning News has an article in its Arts section yesterday (which I just read today) asserting that applauding at movies would be a good idea. Yeah, the actors/director/crew wouldn't hear it, but that an outbreak of applause would be cathartic for the audience.

When I was a kid, I remember a commercial for a movie (and I'll swear it was promoting Billy Jack with it's theme music of "One Tin Soldier") which had the tagline of: "One movie has audiences standing up and applauding."

But, as I search my memory bank, I can't recall ever being in a movie where the audience actually applauded at the end.

You?

School Newsletter Prank

But you can get $750,000 for falsely being called gay? I'm calling my lawyer. If I had one.

That Put A Boot In My . . .

Just as I was getting comfortable in my adoption of the Sooners, ABC did this to me this weekend: They had that goofy Toby Keith introduce the starting Oklahoma line up.

The man wraps himself in the flag and then drains the life force out me.

Throw Down

Not sure where this camera angle came from, but I think it's the only video of the Kid Rock v. Tommy Lee "fight" at the MTV Awards last night. And stick around for the second video that automatically plays showing Jamie Foxx's reaction to the altercation. Funny stuff. Edit: Pamela gives him the what for.

Surging Along

Moveon.org has an ad today in The New York Times regarding today's testimony which will certainly be that the war occupation is going well.

Bond Amounts Confuse Me

It's Monday

I got nothing.

That Was A Lot Of Rain. WIth A Little More To Come.

Back At It

While I was watching the opening kickoff of the Cowboy game I missed Britney parading around in her bra and panties as she opened MTV Video Music Awards. I love this girl.

Uh, she might have lip synced. Like, a lot. And the video was posted on the Internets within 2o minutes.

Rice And Beans

Some quarterback from Baylor threw six TD passes last night, setting a school record, in a 42-17 win over Rice. I didn't know God hated Rice so much.

And it wasn't televised. The high point of Baylor Football for the year (decade?) and those few of us who care didn't get to see it. And the crowd in the above pic looks a little sparse as well.

Planes, Trains, and . . . I'm Awake Now

So the guy that sends me the pic of the American Airlines jet sends me this pic that he took. But he didn't explain how he got it. Anyway, as I sit here and watch the Cowboy game (not-a-good in the beginning), I thought I'd at least throw the pic out at ya. Maybe it's some rich Wise County person.
