Fox 4 News' Jeff Crilley: The Older Days
Footage here. (PG-13 rating for some inadvertent "evidence" coming into view.)
"If you are going to work, work. If you are going to train, train. And if you are going to dance, dance."
Some poor sap name Aleksey Vayner creates a "video resume" to send out to potential employers while he is a student at Yale. It was bad. Very bad. So someone copied it and off into Internet Fame he went.
It was so comical that you just have to see it.
Wikipeida has an entry on him, and this morning the Today Show even threw him under the bus.
I Hate Horror Movies . . .
. . . probably because I'm a big baby, but this list of the 20 Scariest Horror Movie Killers is pretty good.
Friendly Skies
With the progressive repeal of the Wright Amendment, Southwest Airlines announced today that it will offer one stop destinations to Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles and Orlando, Fla.
I just can't figure out how much they'll charge - which is the important part.
Both the Star Telegram and the DMN are running the same AP story despite the fact there was a press conference at 10:00 a.m. You'd think they could have someone in the newsroom do a little original work on the story.
Edit: The airline, based at Love Field, will offer $99 one-way “introductory” fare on those routes. But Southwest did not disclose a specific end date for that promotion. The introductory fares are available with a 14-day advance purchase, for travel beginning Oct. 31.
I Found A Democrat You Can Turn On
The Star Telegram has a story of how Democratic Comptroller candidate Fred Head is calling Republican opponent Susan Combs a "pornographer" based upon a steamy novel she wrote 26 years ago.
Head's web site is here including excerpts from the book here.
Fred. you look a little creepy yourself, and the pornography attack is silly. I wish failure upon you.

Diet Update
As posted earlier, I decided I was fat during the first week of August. I then (as I tend to do) became obsessive and went on a crazed diet and exercise combo.
As of this morning: I had lost 13.5 pounds.
I've become a fan of brussel sprouts with no-fat butter. When you're hungry, you'll eat cardboard and like it.
I Feel Sleepy Tonight . . .
. . . but as I glance at Monday Night Football on that thing called television tonight:
- the new stadium in Arizona looks like Texas Stadium at night with the roof open (I feel a road trip coming on)
- And the stadium is awkwardly called the "University of Phoenix Stadium" after the online college paid a train load of cash for the naming rights. Confusingly, the stadium isn't in Phoenix and the University of Phoenix doesn't have a football team.
- Why are they debuting a Jay-Z video at halftime?
- Chris Berman drives me insane
- Joe Theismann drives me insane
- Tony Kornheiser is not funny
- The 15 minute halftime is something every college game should adopt
- Charles Barkley showed up in the broadcast booth in the second quarter and I'd vote for making him full time
I Heart You, OU!
Pic was actually taken during 2008 Texas/OU game after the controversial roughing the kicker call in the 4th quarter.
I Get Lots Of Junk Mail . . .
. . . but that one from Christie Snow (in middle) really gets a guy's attention.
Why, Sheryl, Why
Speaking of John Mayer, I'm sure there is a good reason that Sheryl Crow appears on stage with him in a bikini this weekend.
The Church of Slimfast
From the Star-Telegram story: "The Rev. Gary Rubendall, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, said he is skipping one meal each day to show his opposition." One meal? That's it?
Well, at least the plan might defeat the sin of gluttony.
