I Guess This Means I Better Get Rid Of My Blow Torch

Story.

I Want A Pair Of Scissors. Badly.

On an unrelated note, the youtube.com video going around of the girl, in a rage, cutting her hair off on her wedding day is sooooo fake. I did a better job of acting when I told my fourth wife I wouldn't mind if she super-sized that meal.

The Best I Can Do For The Ladies: Vintage Terry Bradshaw

Tara Conner

. . . was on the Today Show this morning. This thing has turned into the theater of the bizarre with Matt Lauer asking "Did you use cocaine?" "When did you start?" "Were you out drinking late at night?" "Do you have a sexual addiction?" "Were you abused?" "Was it physical or sexual?"

Oh, Baby. There Ya Go

As I Sit Here . . . wondering how to make money with this stupid site (whether it be The Blog or WiseCounty.com), I thought about Mark Cuban and how he became rich at the time of the inception of the Internet. First, I looked up how Cuban made his fortune when, his company, audionet.com/broadcast.com was purchased by Yahoo in the late 1990s. The figure astounded me. Out of curiosity, I looked up what Google payed for YouTube.com a couple of months ago. Here it is: Google paid $1.65 billion in stock for YouTube.com Yahoo paid Cuban and his partners $5.04 billion in stock for Broadcast.com

I'm Going With This Look Tomorrow

Did (the very hot) Sienna Miller forget her pants this weekend? Or is this a fashion statement? More pics here for you to decide.

Screenshot . . .

. . . from the always funny "Crank Yankers." But I was offended on behalf of Bridgeport High School female athletics due to a certain banner.

I Can't Tell You How Good This Is

The NFL Network is counting down the 20 greatest Super Bowl winners with one hour specials. This stuff is gold because of the behind the scenes stuff - always offered by three of the team's players. Tonight is #5 which is the 1993 Dallas Cowboys. Troy Aikman sang on a country album (awful), Michael Irvin was one minute late for the plane and Jimmy Johnson said "shut the door, we're leaving" (and they did), and Michael tells of girls being in his home after a game which caused him to ask them, "Where are your clothes?" Throw in vintage film footage (Jerry Jones' first press conference saying, "Winning is the name of the game") and this stuff is fascinating.

A Texas Liberal Death

I think that leaves 12, nope, 11 of us left.

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.
