The Dallas Observer Has The Creepiest Cover This Week

Very Cool

I knew there was a Men's Wearhouse off of Pipeline Road near Northeast Mall but I couldn't find it last Sunday. So, for the first time ever, I used Google via text messaging by typing "Men's Wearhouse 76137" and sending it to "46645" (GOOGL). (It was the only zip code I could quickly come up with) Within seconds, the address and phone number of the store came back.

Sheesh

Just looked at Yahoo's Most Viewed news stories and saw the above two.

Bridgeport Falls to 0-4

"Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."

If you're bored, watch Tyra Banks act like she is nuts on America's Next Top Model. (Youtube clip.) Her acting is worse than her talk show.

Billionaire's Club

Forbes has released it's list of 400 richest people (all of whom are billionaires). The list is here. However, the graphic above is the list of the youngest people to make the top 400.

My Eyes!

Interesting Analysis

The following was pulled from the Comments (under the Elmo toy) and reposted her for your assessment: The WCM reports that the Wise County Regional Hospital claims a $300 million annual economic impact on Wise County. Are they crazy? Based on a population of about 50,000 people, that's $6,000 better off every man, woman, child, illegal, and inmate should be each year. Or about $20,000 to $25,000 for every single family, based on average family size. In other words, the hospital is claiming it accounts for more than half of all income in the county. That's strange, thought hospitals were things that local people paid into, and not things that cut checks for $20,000 each year to every family in the county. Economic impact studies are notorious for overmultiplying, overestimating, and counting every dollar even if the dollars come from the local area.

I finally got to mess around with one of these things (for the first time ever) at the courthouse a second ago. Amazing. If I were a kid, I'd b wasting more time than I do now.

Oh, Mickey You're So Fine . . .

. . . but Tony Basil is 63 today! Holy crap!

That Didn't Go Quite Like He Planned

Playground. Dirty Pictures. Kids. Adults who were not pleased. Story.

New Tickle Me Elmo For Christmas

Saw this new toy on the local news the other day and now youtube has a demonstation. It makes me laugh. (And I love the dog in the background.)

Ka-Ching

I don't do video gaming and don't plan to start. And that's a good thing considering the price of the "next generation" gaming devices to be released in the upcoming months. (Story.)

I'm Worried About 20,000 People

Racing Sausages

I haven't been to a Ranger game all year (and have no regrets). But if they would replace the Dot Race with these guys, I'm there.

I'm Still Lost, But It's A Good Lost

I've rented the first season of "Lost" since everyone keeps talking about it. I made it through the two hour pilot and, so far, huge thumbs up.

Fairly Interesting

The Star Telegram on Friday will run a story on "hole in the wall" restaurants. You can read it here. I've only eaten at one: Sammy's on Northside. And that was at 2:00 a.m.
