Uh.....No

Would you like your profile to be used as the basis for a wooden vase? A company can do it for you.

Company officials are trying to find all the missing caskets that were displaced due to the hurricane, but many are either buried under the debris, floated out to sea or possibly floated out and sank in the waters just off shore.

Trust Me On This - It's Not About Football

I was watching the NFL Channel last night and they were rebroadcasting the "NFL Game Of The Week" from November of 1974. Some of you are old enough to remember: It was Cowboys/Redskins and Clint Longley came off the bench to throw a game winning bomb in the last minute. So I'm watching the actual footage including the post touchdown celebration. And then I saw something that has made me laugh for a day. It was footage of a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader doing the craziest thing on the Texas Stadium floor. The clip is here - it's about 15 seconds - and it is pure gold. I just don't think you would see that today. (For those with high speed connections, a little better quality clip is here).

Taser Fun

I don't know why a guy would want to Taser a bull, but he decided to (video). By the way, you kids in FFA do not try this.

. . . just watch and listen to this.

I'm Surprised He's Not Issuing A December Deep Freeze Warning Just In Case

Gov. Rick Perry has learned from his neighbors. Today he said: "My fellow Texans, the latest projections for Hurricane Rita indicate it is likely to intensify and may make landfall in Texas late this week.This morning I issued a disaster declaration for Texas and asked President Bush to approve that declaration and 100 percent reimbursement for Texas communities responding."

College Football Nuggets

Both Oklahoma and Nebraska are not in this week's AP Poll. The last time that happened was November 3, 1969. SMU is so giddy over its win over TCU, that you can buy a DVD of it. (Or so the Morning News told me I could at www.mustanglockerroom.com. But then I looked at the site and found it to be the worst commercial site in the history of ever - and I can't even find the DVD).

What Does That Mean?

In all the talk about the Careflite proposal, this small "fact" causes me some confusion: "CareFlite, a non-profit corporation based in Grand Prairie". I suppose they pay big salaries to their execs, and I suppose they charge big fees for their service. How are they different than a regular corporation?

I'm Confused

Story #1: STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish clothing chain Hennes & Mauritz said Tuesday it will drop a planned advertising campaign with model Kate Moss after she admitted to recently using cocaine. Story#2: DALLAS, Texas - Michael Irvin, who served a probation for cocaine possession while playing with the Dallas Cowboys, was inducted before a cheering crowd into the Cowboys Ring of Honor last night.

I Think I Heard This In The Walmart Gun Section This Morning

From JohnKerry.com: If the president won't stand up and provide Americans with answers, then we must be willing to stand up and propose our own solution . . . . It's time for a fundamental debate about the choices we are making as a nation . . . . Katrina is a symbol of all this administration does and doesn't do . . . . The bottom line is simple: The "we'll do whatever it takes" administration doesn't have what it takes to get the job done. This is the Katrina administration.

How Did That Happen?

Bill Parcells is 57-0 when entering the fourth quarter with at least a 10 point lead. Uh, make that 57-1.
