My Clubs Are In The Closet Somewhere

Back when I used to golf (very badly), one the joys was seeing the "Cart Girl" coming towards me on the horizon. Little did I know you could rank such girls from across the State. And, dear Wise Countians, the closest one appears to be this one (but you'll have to tip her $251 to break her all time record). Men are pigs. :)

Violent Punch

I have no idea what prompted grandma to punch this lady, but it was one heck of a blow. It's like a car wreck, you know you shouldn't watch it here.

I've Never Understood . . .

. . . how the property at the southeast corner of Hwy 380 and I-35 in Denton went undeveloped. Not anymore. From the Morning News: "The $850 million project, known as Denton Hillview, will feature a 1 million-square-foot, open-air shopping center similar to the new Firewheel Town Center in Garland. It will also include a 700,000-square-foot shopping center, a single-family and townhome residential area, a 30-acre campus for seniors, an amphitheater, a lake and park area, museums, a 10-acre area for hotels, and medical and office buildings."

"I'm (not) In Love With A 'Stripper"

This is what the second stripper looks like from the Duke-did-someone-get-raped-by-the-lacrosse-team scandal. Hmmmm. I think I'd rather hire someone from New Orleans' Nights if I knew where that was.

Number Crunching Gives Me Tired Head

From The Update: ROBIN HOOD - Decatur Superintendent Gary Gindt said Thursday, the Decatur school system should prepare to begin paying into the Robin Hood system next year. He said the district is likely to get Chapter 41 status, meaning the district would collect more than $305,000 per student in property taxes, which would make it subject for state recapturing. From an email: By my calculations, with 2,813 students in the DISD, the budget should be a little over $857,000,000 . . . . I don't think that's accurate . . . .

Nothing Like A Liquored Flight

So American Airlines gave away free tickets at the basketball game the other day? Southwest Airlines strikes back by giving away, on all of its flights, free......BOOZE.

The Great Robert Smith . . .

. . . of The Cure is 47 today.

An What Exactly Is That?

Vanna White has received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. "I remember my parents telling me, at the age of 10, `You can do anything you want.'" Dad, we did it!" said White, 49,

Safe Happens

I love the new Jetta commercials that show normal folks driving down the road having a normal conversation and then......WHAM.....a crash happens. It's soooo jolting. The commercial touts the safety of the vehicle under a campaign labeled "Safe Happens". Youtube has one of them here.

Good News For Old Guys

Julio Franco, who played for the Texas Rangers from 1989 to 1993, hit a home run last night for the New York Mets. At age 47, he is the oldest Major League Baseball player to ever do so.

That Should Solve The Problem

"In [an] action on Wednesday, federal officials detained 1,187 illegal immigrants working in 26 states for IFCO Systems North America . . . . " What a coincidence! I'm sure this has nothing to do with the public outcry over illegal immigration. That leaves 11.999 million to go.

"Henny Penny"

Check out this great youtube clip from Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld used the odd phrase of "henny penny" to dismiss news reports that the U.S. would invade Iran [edited] because of its nuclear weapons threat. I wonder if he has ever used the phrase "henny penny" before? Hilarity ensues.

Celebrity Cooking Showdown

Did any of you see this show the last three nights? I caught maybe five minutes of it, and it was horrible. A lot of "stars" running around a kitchen on a stage while an audience in the background exuded fake excitement and cheers. In one of the quickest axes I've seen in a while, NBC cancelled it after three shows (it was supposed to run tonight and Friday as well). "Hope and Fatih" [edited] is running in its place (not that that's much better).

Hold Me

"Fake Breast Doc" Might Be A Little Hard To Pull Off

This guy comes up with a brilliant scam that two women actually fell for.

Do You See "Good" Or "Evil"?

No Naked Bears

Baylor University is threatening to sanction any of its female students that pose for Playboy. I remember the same controversy erupting in the late 1970s. Some things never change.
