Dallas v. Notre Dame v. Jenny Craig

Evil Roy Slade

I rarely suggest anyone buy anything, but if you even remotely relate to my sense of humor I want you to buy, and I am not kidding, a 1971 made for TV movie called "Evil Roy Slade." I know what your thinking but trust me. It may be the funniest movie I've ever seen. There are people in this world that "get it" and there are those that don't. This movie, even with age, is the litmus test. The most amazing thing is that you can find out if your child, assuming he/she is over ten years of age, falls in the "gets it" category. It's now on DVD.

"Ho, Ho, Ho, sweet baby Jesus"

"The Ticket" radio station always makes fun of the very unstable (and confusing) Christmas neighborhood decoration of a nativity scene which includes . . . uh . . . Santa. You can have one for $94.99 from Target.

Flashback

I posted this about a year ago, but today's proclamation by the Rev. Jesse Jackson (that all black entertainers, including comedians and rap artists, should abandon the use of the "n word") made me think of it. The news report starts a tad bit slow but when the white guy starts explaining, with the aid of handmade graphics, why he used the word "nigga" it becomes 100% gold.

Thou Shalt Not Flaunt The Law

It looks like a small county in Florida has just erected the 10 Commandments on the courthouse steps. Last January, when the decision was made to install the monument, the county attorney promised to represent the county for free if any legal challenges were filed. Although he no longer is the county attorney, he promises to keep his word. He better get ready. Story here.

I Bet He's Gonna Buy a Backstreet Boys CD

NBC News has been using this footage to show the number of early morning shoppers on "Black Friday." Check out the big guy on the left and his "happy dance" as he makes it through the door. I can't help but laugh every time I see it.

I Didn't Know That

Although I refuse to get too excited about the Dallas Cowboys (I gave up cheering for professional sports teams 10 years ago), I try to keep informed. But I did not know that Dallas had an assistant head coach named Tony Sparano. And that's not a typo.

Spare Me

The Dallas Morning News yesterday had a story in the sports section about some CPA (yep, a CPA) who had killed some defenseless huge mule deer in Colorado. Like that suddenly makes him a man's man. And the above quote got my attention. It speaks of why he stayed an extra day after seeing the deer very late one afternoon some four miles away. He decided to spend the night and go after Darth Bambi the next day. Buddy, that "very important business meeting" couldn't have been that important, the fact that you didn't want to "waste time" going to find cell service that night indicates you are inconsiderate, and "owning you own business" isn't gonna work out for long if you simply stand up people who expect to meet you.

It's The Un-Holy Trinity

My Typical Monday

I Can't Hear Myself Think

At a gas station in Fort Worth outside of a Walmart this weekend, they had added a TV screen (top pic) that plays commercials as well as news and weather from Channel 8. At the same time, there is audio playing from a separate screen about some fuel additive.
