I Suppose Supply and Demand Sets The Price . . .

. . . but sheesh.

I'll Have . . .

. . . the jambalaya and that Yugoslavian assault rifle . . . to go, please. Story. (Somebody help me. Before that restaurant was a Razoo's it was named something else. Probably 10 years ago. I'm going crazy trying to remember. Crazy, I tell ya!!!)

Funny

Somebody sent me an email of less than correct answers to math/physics/whatever questions. Some of them can't be reproduced in this Family Friendly forum.

Oh, My

Self Cleaning Oven?

Oprah Winfrey is the richest woman in the world because of stuff like this? (Hey, I would put all sorts or warnings and disclaimers on this youtube.com clip but this is apparently what is on TV in the afternoon. So it must be safe. Right?) Triple shocking.

NBA Player Tim Hardaway To Become Honorary Wise County Citizen

Story. The Today Show reported this quote this morning and I had to smile at Ann Curry who started laughing because it was soooooo over the top.

Edit: The boys on The Ticket this morning were discussing this. It was fascinating to learn that the Black Man really, really doesn't like the Gay Man. At least that was apparent from the number of calls and emails they received.

Edit #2: YouTube has the audio here.

Check It Out

If you're interested in legal stuff and have a license plate cover that obscures even the slightest portion of your license plate, you should read this about a court decision handed down today. (And be sure to click on the link to Judge Cochran's concurring opinion - it's very short and brief - and it is the rarest of rare these days: A Republican judge that is concerned about potential police abuse.)

"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?
