Oh, My

Note to the Chambers of Commerce of Wise County: This screen shot from the official web site of the South Padre Island Convention and Visitors Bureau might give you some promotional ideas.

I Never Watch The Show . . .

. . . but for some reason, on "Deal or No Deal", I just saw a guy from UT-Tyler hand Howie Mandel a comatose catfish who then, in turn, handed it to one of the hot chicks. (I know it was comatose otherwise it would have finned the crap out of them.) Edit: About 30 minutes later I blew by the show and they had a female midget little person as the contestant. My TV is dishin' out some crazy tonight.

High School Proms

Not that I have an interest in high school proms (insert joke here), but I heard that Bridgeport's prom will be in some Fort Worth hotel this year. Since I really haven't kept up with it, has this been going on for a while? Do other Wise County schools venture off into the Big City as well? I remember Decatur having a prom in north Fort Worth in the early 1990s and I vaguely remember a news story about them trashing the hotel. But I could be wrong. Enlighten me.

Star-Telegram Story . . .

. . . on upcoming child porn trial in Wise County.

We Finally Agree On Something

Texas A&M's 2007 Football Schedule

Miami might get lucky since the Aggies will be worried about the next game.

And The Monster Grows

Ms. USA Tara Conner . . .

. . . was seen in a Dateline excerpt on The Today Show this morning where she was admitting to Matt Lauer that she had used cocaine. Darlin', just shut up. (That's her with Axl Rose - who has never done cocaine.)

Blizzard Report

As I walked up to the courthouse in the peacefulness of the falling slow snow, I was interrupted by a banging noise coming from a window above. As I looked up, I was shocked to see a distinguished member of the Wise County Bar Association making an obscene gesture in my direction. As he smiled. Moment ruined.

Snow

It's snowing in Decatur at the moment. It makes me feel like a kid when this happens.

"Don't Panic Yet!"

Fox 4's Evan Andrews just said that.

Hey, Now

This is Tory Burch (ignore the guy in the picture.) Ms. Burch is rich. She apparently has a clothing line. And I just read that she is dating Lance Armstrong. More importantly, she has six kids. Six! Lance, she better have billions. (Source).

Billboard Coming Into Wise County From Fort Worth

It's by the old "Jeterville" liquor store. When I read the words on the left real quickly, a Missy Elliott song pops in my head.

Not Above 42 For The Next Five Days?

Can I run a pipe directly from the Barnett Shale into my heater?

"God Hates A Fag"

Ok, that's a shocking headline. But it is also the title to a music video that has been sweeping all over the Internet for the last few weeks.(Well, it's not the title but it's the chorus.) It's slick. It's well produced. The guy can sing. And it's promoted as being sung by "an ex-homosexual pastor." But the real debate is: Is it for real? And the bigger debate is: How shocking is it that we have to debate whether it is real. (The answer to the first question is here. But I suggest you watch it and judge for yourself before clicking on the answer.)

YouTube Says It Limits . . .

. . . this size of its uploads to 10 minutes. So how is the two hour 40 Year Old Virgin on there?

Random Microsoft Vista Thought

I never see this any more.

MLK Party

First it was Tarleton, and now Clemson joins the crowd.
