I Wonder
Every time I see one of those trucks hauling old and crushed cars, I wonder what they looked like on the first day they were driven into someone's driveway.
My Head Hurts
I can't do the ad justice, but this lady is running a radio campaign spot on KRLD which has the most irritating kids singing some indecipherable lyrics to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It."
It will drive you insane.
Good judgment on her part.

I'm Beginning To Think Everything Is Staged
I hate Entertainment Tonight or any of those shows because it seems like it's just one long commercial for a new song or movie.
Even when I read the Q and A inside the front cover of Parade magazine I get suspicious: Did someone really take the time to send in a question about Harrison Ford who just happens to have a movie coming out that is mentioned in the answer?
And as I look over the paparazzi web sites, I think this is staged.
My Last Football Note of the Night
Tony Romo starts the second half and on the first play throws an interception. Good times.
But the crazy part comes in the next series. On third and two from the Giants 30 (or so), Parcells decides to throw it instead of running it. Hmmm. Incomplete. No big deal, I guess. But then the New Jersey Con Man decides to go for it on fourth down. (Hey, idiot, if that's your plan why did you throw it on third down?). So what happens: He looks like a genius as the ball goes to a wide open Terrell Owens who........drops it.
Owens: $10 million this year
Parcells: $4.5 million this year
The implosion of the Cowboys begins.
(And after the Owen's drop, ESPN spent the next 10 minutes talking to Emmitt Smith about Dancing With The Stars. Kill me.)
Random Cowboy Game Thought
Giant's LB Lamar Arrington was just carted off the field.
I'll bet $100 that he tore his Achilles Tendon.
I know because he and I are superior athletes who have (now) suffered the same injury.
Baylor / A&M Fans
FSN Southwest is replaying the Kansas-Baylor and A&M-Oklahoma State games, neither of which was televised Saturday. Baylor's amazing comeback will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The Aggies' overtime win will air at 8 p.m. Thursday.
The telecast will feature the video feeds used for instant replay and the home teams' radio calls.

By the way, the Bears and the Aggies play Saturday in Waco. Eat, drink, and be merry you Agriculturists, because this weekend you die!
Eeeek
I'm driving back from Jacksboro this afternoon and find myself behind a school bus between Runaway Bay and Bridgeport. Surprisingly, it slows down, flashes its "do not pass" lights, and comes to a complete stop on Highway 380. Oddly, it straddles the main lane of traffic and the white "fog line".
I came to a complete stop behind it (because I'm a good, law-abiding citizen) but it's an uncomfortable proposition coming to a dead stop on 380 as you look in your rear view mirror to see if sudden death is bearing down upon you.
Seems incredibly dangerous.
And then the cutest little first grade looking girl bolts off the bus waving good-bye.
A Juvenile Hearing . . .
. . . in Jack County on a Monday afternoon is like Jack County on a Monday afternoon.
You Don't Always Die From Tobacco
No one, and I mean no one, is a more effective advertiser than the group that produces the anti-smoking ads.
And You Thought AE Was Bad
According to the 2000 census (which counts incarcerated individuals as residents of the county in which they are imprisoned), Wise County had 600 black residents of which 308 are behind bars.
Good thing Baylor's stadium isn't in the county!

Edit: The fact that Bridgeport has a couple of TDC prison/half-way houses certainly skews the numbers.
You Do Not . . .
. . . want to see how this was created. Warning: It involves more blood and guts than a Freddy Krueger weekend night.
