Happy Valentines To You

The Luckiest Unlucky Man In The History Of Ever

Shot in the face but not life threatening? The path of the bullet had to have been guided by cupid on this most sacred of days. (Story.)

Awwwww

I've hypothetically learned that a Wise County Third Grade teacher was proposed to today in front of her third grade class. Good times. We were talking up at the courthouse about how that scene had occurred in a few movies. Rick Moranis in "Parenthood" was the only one I could think of. And one courthouse worker proclaimed that no man should ever propose on Valentine's Day. I'm not sure I understood why.

If You Look Real Hard Outside . . .

. . . you can occasionally see a snowflake softly fall from the sky until it hits the ground and meets death. The End.

OK, Enough Of This Silliness

Made Me Giggle

A&M beat Kansas earlier this month IN KANSAS. So this is the scene back at A&M where a group of students were watching the game on the big screen. Sports Etiquette: Is proper to rush the court when there is no one on the court?

Beyonce . . .

. . . is on the cover of this years SI Swimsuit Issue which I will not buy because I'm pretty sure it's a sin to look at women in swimsuits. But I wonder if they can get all of her booty on one page?

Tony Romo Is Doomed

The quarterback coach is coming from where?

Edit: "Phillips spent last year as Baylor's quarterbacks coach after working at West Texas A&M. He played quarterback at UTEP from 1999-2001 and played two years with the San Diego Riptide in The Arena Football League." And this guy is gonna coach Romo?

"Wise County Night" At Rodeo Exchange?

Happy Valentines Day from Greenwood to Cottondale.

Matt Drudge Is An Idiot

This is an example of what I was beeyotching about a couple of weeks ago.

Boring Legal Junk

The Dallas Morning News did a series last year on 18-wheeler safety. I didn't know that the paper, on its web site, placed the full trial transcript (now called the "Reporter's Record") of a wrongful death trial that occurred in the district court in Wise County. It's not the most exciting reading in the world, but I'm certain its the first time such documentation has ever been published on the web. (Lots of local lawyers were involved in it.)

Go here and look on the right side if you are so inclined. (Lots of other good Wise County stuff on the page.)

But I'm not sure what court reporter Jeff Goodwyn thinks about all of this. If I were to call him up and ask for a transcript of a trial, he'd charge me a fee. (Heck, I paid a court reporter in Fort Worth for the transcript of an expert witness just the other day.) But now anyone can just log on to the DMN web site and download the transcript for free?

Hot Girls At Boston College?

And isn't there like 50 feet of snow up there? Don't tummies get cold?

Comment Purgatory

There is a strong possibility that some of the Comments that are sent in are going to cyber-purgatory. A buddy has mentioned to me at least two that he sent that I never received. I "upgraded" to a new version of this blogger software over the weekend and that might not be helping matters.

I Don't Care Much

. . . about the Dallas Mavericks (I haven't watched a game all year), but it's amazing they are 42-9 with 5 of those loses occurring in October of last year (the first month of the season.)

And I watched Mark Cuban on HBO's Real Sports last night. He is one strange guy. I don't know if he is brilliant or lucky or both. But I noticed that he has grown a goatee in an effort to mimic me.

Las Vegas

Hold down the mouse and drag (like with all Google maps) around the Las Vegas Strip - starting at the Bellagio here.

Edit: Click on the "hybrid" button and the casinos will be labeled.

Gwen Stefani Has Good Shoes

Theater of the Bizarre

February 12 - Perhaps looking to unwind in the post season, DALLAS COWBOY’S quarterback TONY ROMO stopped by Metal Skool at Key Club [in Los Angeles] and had quite a time! He requested all the greats and the heavy metal comedy act delivered, playing “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” for the QB. Eventually, Romo hopped up on stage with the band and DENNIS HASKINS, a.k.a. (Saved by the Bell’s) MR. BELDING, for a rocking rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing”… Warning: F-Bomb at the very beginning

Ok, I'm Drawing A Line

You know who this hurts? Strippers! That's who this hurts. And to think this news breaks right before Valentine's Day which is a very special day for strippers. I think.
