Side Note


This 13 year old kid was abducted in Florida this morning so the police began circulating this photo.

That may be the clearest photo I've ever seen. If that's a yearbook photo, things sure have changed.

Edit: Kid found.

I Think I'd Go Crazy, Too

The back portion of this video shows (kinda) Britney going nuts a couple of days ago when she attacked a van with an umbrella. Warning: She drops a couple of F Bombs. But what was more interesting to me was the first 30 seconds. Can you imagine not being able to be a passenger in a car at Allsups without being hounded by the press?

Where's Mrs. Pacman When You Need Her?


Craziest story from the NBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas last weekend.

- After the game, Adam "Pacman" Jones of the Tennessee Titans (yep, that's a football team) decides to visit a strip club called Minxx. (Hey, now.)

- Inside the club is also rapper Nelly (he's kind of a white rapper since even I like some of his songs.)

- Nelly decides to "Make It Rain" which means he takes hand fulls of dollar bills and throws them up into the air thereby making them "rain" down on the strippers. (I would have liked to have seen that.)

- Pacman Jones, not to be outdone, starts to Make It Rain himself. (I'm soooo doing this at Frilly's tonight.)

- Something goes wrong (and here is where the facts get murky) but a melee breaks out.

- During the melee, a guy steals some money from Pacman and places the money in a trash bag and leaves. (I think Pacman had the money in a bag he was carrying - not sure.)

- The money is later recovered in a hotel room and it totaled $81,000!!! (That's right, Pacman Jones went inside a strip club with $81,000 in cash. Holy crap.)

- After the melee, a guy leaves and then comes back into the club and starts shooting. Three people are hit - one guy takes a bullet in the spine.

- I'm opening up a Minxx in Rhome this summer. Good times.

Decatur Is Being Mean To Mexicans Again


Man, there has to be 1000s of Immigrants (that just happen to be undocumented) moving through Wise County.

Justice Delayed?


Rep. Phil King has joined the defense team in a wrongful death lawsuit in Wise County. After that, an "automatic" Motion for Continuance was then filed since the legislature is in session. (It's mandatory that it be granted.)He claims that his presence is not to seek a continuance because "I've done a lot of oil and gas work. I'm perfectly qualified to be the attorney,"

Oil and gas work qualifies you to defend a wrongful death suit just because it happened at a drill site?

From 2003 to 2006, only one other lawmaker has used the "legislative continuance" more than King.

Rare Pic Of My Fourth Wife

. . . sooooo kick my butt.

Wow


Story. Ironically, it was before the "Baylor Regional Medical Center First Pitch Classic" tournament. Horrible.

Anna Nicole's Dead Body


I just noticed that the judge has pulled a Judge Wapner and has gone into chambers to decide the case. He said he would be back in 15 minutes. (Edit: OMG, he came back in the courtroom and started crying when he read the decision. And he still didn't make any sense: He says that the body is to go to the attorney who is the guardian for Anna's infant daughter and it will be his sole discretion as to where the body should be buried. Say what? And then the judge turned around and said that he wanted the body buried next to her son. What a complete buffoon. )

If you get a chance to watch the news tonight, you have to catch one of the most embarrassing moments in litigation history: Texas "Super Lawyer" John O'Quinn convinces the judge to allow Anna's first husband from Mexia (Billy Wayne Smith) to testify by phone. All the other lawyers go crazy. Everyone expects Billy to say that he wants Anna buried in Texas (or else O'Quinn wouldn't want him called as a witness.)

The judge gets him on the phone, asks him if he is wearing boots (everyone laughing at that joke?), and has him testify. For some reason, the judge interrupts the questioning and says, "If I could order for your son's body in the Bahamas to be exhumed and brought back to Texas for burial, would you want me to?" (I have no idea why that question is asked, but everyone presumes he would say "yes" because surely he will want Anna buried in Mexia, too.) To everyone's surprise, he says, "Naaaa, I wouldn't want that."

And then he blurts out that he just as soon have Anna buried next to their son in the Bahamas. This is exactly the opposite of what the Texas Super Lawyer expected. The entire gallery erupted in laughter as John O'Quinn starts yelling into the phone, "Billy! Billy! Don't you remember our conversation at lunch?!" The judge stops the questioning and says "I've heard enough."

Pure gold.

Northwest High School was briefly "locked down" this morning "while police searched for a suicidal man believed to be armed with a shotgun." The guy, whether suicidal or not, was found.

And She Didn't Even Come See Me After The Show


I'm so done with her.

To Hold Me, to Scold Me, Cause When I'm Bad I'm So So Bad



The mascot at the University of Illinois used to do some crazy Me Fire Up-em Crowd dance at halftime. But no longer. Last night, the God of Political Correctness witnessed his last dance.

We shall offend no more.

Uh Oh

Problem?

Although I really don't want to get a lot of "Henson is a crazy dictator" comments (you guys have made your point well known), there sure seems like a lot of upheaval in girls athletics over at Bridgeport.

Foreigners Are Coming!!!!


It's funny to think of how many times I heard as a kid, "I ain't buyin' no car unless it's 'merican made."

Oh, Baby, Baby, You're Killing Me


Who would have thought that sweet and innocent girl in the "Oops, I Did It Again" video (ok, maybe "not so innocent") would one day be bald, a little over-weight, smoking, drinking Red Bull, and sporting a couple of raw tattoos?

And, in case you haven't heard, she's made a run for it. Possibly for Newark or New Fairview.

Time Waste
