The Great Blizzard of 2007

Conditions not this bad in Wise County since December, 2o06. Wise County Government Offices open two hours late. Decatur ISD opens on time - Declares county government "letting terrorists win." Developing . . . Edit: In other breaking news, The Today Show just did a segment on not allowing you kids to drink hand sanitizers since they contain over 60% alcohol. (I'm slipping one in my briefcase for a little "pick me up" later.)

OK, That's Not A Young Bob Saget

But the rest is interesting.

Allegedly The Same Girl

Supposed to be some English singer named Amy Winehouse. I'm too lazy to verify if its an After & Before pic so let's assume it's true.

Oh, No, They Didn't

Fox4News' helicopter just flew over some empty sand trucks in an empty parking lot while an intrepid reporter announced, "I can tell you they are ready to go!"

Denise Richards and Richie Sambora Went To The Beach In Hawaii Yesterday

And my big ol' belly would be as red as his big ol' belly if I were to get out in the sun right now. Or my blood pressure would make it look that way if I got to frolic with Denise Richards.

NBC Thought We Should Be Protected

At least on TV (in connection with the Boston bomb scare. You can see the hippies behind the "plot" here.) Thanks to tip. Edit: You couldn't buy one of those little guys on EBay, could you? Edit: Someone made a funny. Edit: The guys' press conference after their release from jail was bizarre.

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.
