Memorial Day Weekend

Hey, if you care enough to visit The Blog, I care enough to let you know the postings will be very slow over the next couple of days. Everyone be safe.

From yesterday: If a couple is going to beat some poor waitress down with stories of how "we are from Wichita Falls" and "my mother used to cook the best brisket", the least you could do is leave a tip larger than a one dollar bill. From today: The troopers were engaged in racial profiling based upon the numerous cop cars at the local Chinese restaurant.

Slow Day

But waste some time watching teens on a trampoline doing something stupid. And you have to love the concern expressed by his buddies. (And I can swear one of them yells "I have to pee" as he runs from the scene). Link (It is a video hosted on a different blog. I had to click the "play" button twice).

Friday Bag Of Nothing

Hey, Shorty, It's Your Birfday

Ok, you guys will not like this. Story. Heck, I should at least be able to get away with a Class B misdemeanor.

Heck, I Need Lessons

The crazy student-teacher couple that is Mary Kay LeTourneau and Vili Fualaau were on the Today show this morning. They are celebrating their first anniversary. Sheesh. They seem happier than most couples I know.

Ranger Notes

For a game I didn't watch, I noticed: - The Ranger's were down 7-0 last night and came back to win. - The game winning hit came from Phil Nevin with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. - Nevin had been benched earlier this week for sucking. - Rookie Ian Kinsler returned for the first time from an injury that sidelined him for two months by going 3 for 4 with two home runs.

Three Things . . .

. . . that got my attention from the news this morning: 1. President Bush apologized last night for using the phrase "bring 'em on" when referring to the insurgents a couple of years ago (Hey, for guys like me, he gets huge points for that). 2. An 18 month old was killed in a drive by shooting in Farmer's Branch (not sure I've seen a web story on it yet) 3. An Jimmy Buffett is on the Today show in retaliation for my smear of him earlier this week.

I Take It All Back, Paris Hilton Does Have Talent

Meet The Muffin Men

Here are the boys that came up with the marijuana-in-the-muffins prank. You think they want a "do over"? Give 'em probation and sin no more. We were all stupid once. (And some of us do stupid things to this day).

Quuuiiiinnnnnncccccyyy!!!!
