"To Catch A Predator" Soundboard

Genius. (And if you go exploring, you'll find a zillion more.)

Some Wondered Where The "L" Went Today

Apparently it is in the stem of the strawberry.

The Carpenters

I stumbled across a PBS documentary on the The Carpenters tonight. It occurred to me how many "young people" probably aren't familiar with the duo and Karen's death from anorexia at age 32. (An interesting scene showed a clip from the Grammy's where Shirley Jones and David Cassidy handed them an award in the early 70s.)

I have the strangest, yet distinct, memory of being at the Bridgeport Municipal Pool one summer and hearing the newly released "Rainy Days and Mondays" coming over the very cheap speaker system. After looking up the songs release date, that probably would have been the summer of 1971. Oh, my.

Kid Gets Launched

The Launcher apologized. Reporter is hot. All is well.

At Least Liberals Know Humor

Fox News, as if its real news wasn't funny enough, is forming its own little comedy show called "The 1/2 Hour News Hour". I think it's an effort to mimic Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."

Three minutes of it have been pre-released on YouTube.com

It is bad. Really bad.

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.
