Me and My Mom At Six Flags Years Ago

Timber!

That Didn't Work Out Too Well

This guy tries to meet some teenage girl (who, heaven forbid, "has a myspace account") in Grapevine and a neighbor takes his picture. One of the news stations this morning (I think it was Fox) said the girl took this picture with her cell phone. I thought that would have been a pretty good cell phone if true.

Random Today Show Thought

I'm not sure I like Meredith Vieira. And the chemistry with Matt seems forced.

(And I'm mad I have to go to work because Matt's about to interview Debra "Hot Teacher" LaFave. (She just started off the interview explaining that she probably got a lot of attention because "sex sells.")

Twice A Day?

Actual picture of the Fellowship Church in Grapevine as it exists right now. Of course, they have an explanation.

I Don't Know

A Little Knowledge

It's nerdy of me, but I think Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit) is amazing. For example, it has an entry on the very recently deceased son of Anna Nicole Smith. And remember that Israel/Lebanon conflict that just ended? Its entry has all you need to know. How in the world can the old encyclopedias compete with this?

My What?

Fox 4 News was doing some story tonight about some Watuaga cop that got fired for having a myspace.com page that was "inappropriate." But when the (heavily produced pre-packaged) story flashed to a computer screen in illustrate the myspace.com website, something didn't seem quite right.

I feel a lot of empathy towards the man all of a sudden.

Price of gas in Fort Worth today (as I've driven, it seems, all over the Southwest Proper.)

Saturday Night Gone Wrong

Excerpt from DMN story this morning that made me laugh: D'Angelo Lee, the embattled former Dallas city plan commissioner and a target of the FBI's City Hall corruption investigation, was arrested early Sunday morning on public intoxication charges after claiming employees at an all-nude strip club stole thousands of dollars from him. . . . Mr. Lee . . . flagged down police at 3 a.m. Sunday outside Club Knubian Fantaciez, a dance club at Mockingbird Lane and Harry Hines Boulevard that police say turns into a venue featuring all-male strippers after midnight. According to police reports, he told authorities that three men – one naked, one wearing only a towel – had attacked him and thrown him out of the club, breaking his glasses and stealing his crocodile-skin wallet in the process.

Probably A Funny Idea At That Time

(Click to enlarge. Full story here.) And "sneaked off with" instead of "snuck off with"? I would have screwed that one up.

I Don't Care . . .

. . . about the minor league baseball team of the Fort Worth Cats or that they won some championship this week in Minnesota. But I did get a giggle out of this guy getting arrested for some crazy (alleged) bar fight after the game. Him? Fight? In a bar? Naaaaaaaa.

I Go To Jacksonville . . .

. . . and Fergie goes to Phoenix.

The Kid . . .

. . . from The Sixth Sense got busted for DWI a while back. Now I know why: Walker, Texas Ranger, scarred him for life.
