Top Grossing Movies for 2006

Link. Man, Pirates of the Caribbean was a money machine.

Baby Beyonce

I laughed at this the first time I saw it a couple of years ago. First watch this 10 second clip of Beyonce doing some booty shaking in the "So Crazy In Love" video and then watch this clip from America's Funniest Home Videos. Triple good times.

The Star of "Brokeback Mountain" . . .

. . . Jake Gyllenhaal. Hook 'em.

Merry Christmas From The Bushes

The jacket thrown over the shoulder look is a little gay, but what is up with the tie-over-the-shoulder look? And was Barbara ever young?

A Sweet Christmas Story

There is a man who has been on Texas' death row since January 8, 1976. And he's still alive. That, my friends, is a record. Appeals, reversals, and re-trials have caused the delay. But not for much longer. An execution date has now been set for January 25, 2007. It looks like it will happen. Check out his TDC information here.

Time Waste

I have no idea what the purpose of this is.

Todd Dodge To North Texas

Southlake Carroll's Todd Dodge is headed to the University of North Texas as its head coach. Random thoughts from my large Sports Brain: - I'm not so sure that the Southlake job isn't a better gig. - For a salary of $200,000 a year, North Texas got a bargain. Heck, the school has received that much in free advertising over the last 24 hours due to the coverage. - The Dallas Morning News had a good headline: "Enter The Dragon" - Dodge's last game at Carroll will probably be next week against Austin Westlake High School. His next game after that will be September 1st against the Oklahoma Sooners.

As I Ponder About How E-Coli Can't Touch Me . . .

. . . I also wonder why the Taco Bell drive through greeter says, "How are you today?" followed by an awkward pause.

Update On The Pauly Shore Punch

Story.

He bet his presidency on it. He lost. Big time.

I Scream, You Scream

The homepage of Google confused me today for awhile. But I learned that it is the birthday of artist Edvard Munch. Uh, he painted this.

Pause

This story, of the presumed death of the daughter of former Dallas Stars general manager Bob Gainey, has been in the news for about four days. But there is just something about it. If she had died in a car crash or of cancer, it probably wouldn't even have made the news. But being swept overboard off of a boat into the cold Atlantic Ocean gets our attention. Maybe it's because we all wonder about the horror of what that experience would be like.

Matt Damon Impersonates Matthew McConaughey

Not bad. Not bad at all. (As a tech sidenote, this youtube.com clip is authorized as part of an agreement between CBS and youtube. CBS, you see, gets it.)

Frilly's?

You Might Be A Redneck . . .

. . . if you punch Pauly Shore last weekend in an Odessa Comedy Club. Google video here (warning - lots of F bombs). I'm trying to confirm this (it certainly looks real) and he was scheduled to appear in Odessa last weekend. There is obvious editing at the end of the clip of the audio. Edit: You know, the more I think about this, the more I think it may be staged. What greater way to get free press for a very spare comedian than a 'Kramer-esque' like comedy club video? If so, Shore probably agreed to subject himself to a pretty good blow, but it was all in the name of free advertisement.
