I Can't Believe This Kid Wasn't Killed

Saw this on Fox 4 News tonight. (21 second Youtube clip here.)

Jaime Pressly of . . .

My Name Is Earl is hot and pregnant. I saw her the other night on Cinemax (make that very late at night) in an old 1997 flick called Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. Oh, baby.

College Football Season Begins In . . .

Baylor will visit TCU to start things off.

"The Last Kiss"

I'm 75% through this movie and it's great. I think I'm a sucker for any movie that involves wheels off relationships. And it had a great line from the father figure: "What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts."

Even With An Acquittal,

. . . would you think your life has gone terribly wrong if you were associated with that headline?

I Wonder . . .

. . . if there are any pics of Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood at the Ghostbar in Dallas this weekend? Well, I'll be. (Although it would be nice if the Kidd Kraddick logo wasn't plastered all over them.)

He Was Crazy

The Virginia Tech gunman bought what on E-Bay?

Snakes On A Courthouse

Actually it was a dead snake on the lawn of the courthouse this morning.

An Alabama Scrimmage And How Many Showed Up?

Who Amongst Us Does Not Punch Out During Commercials?

As of today, KZPS in Dallas — on the dial at 92.5 FM or online at lonestar925.com — will no longer run traditional 30- or 60-second advertisements. Instead, advertisers sponsor an hour of programming, during which a D.J. will promote its product conversationally in what the company calls integration. >Story

My Hot Sports Opinion

Long term readers of this blog will remember that last year at this time I demonstrated how I was a sports genius.

This year's prediction: The Mavs will win this series but not only will they not with the NBA championship, but they won't even make the finals. Bet the rent money. Bet your kid's lunch money. Bet your social security check.

Track And Field

Gratuitous Violence

Boxing has slowly been in decline over the last 20 years, but s sport called "ultimate fighting" has been on the rise. I think it will replace boxing in popularity over the next 10 years (if it hasn't already.) Call it the the downfall of society, but last night Spike TV broadcast a series of ultimate fighting matches called "UFC 70" for free (they are normally PPV.) The above video, which you have to see if you are a fan of the roundhouse kick to the head, tells you all you need to know.

Letter Guidelines

I'm not sure what is going on over in Jacksboro regarding its upcoming municipal elections but check out this Letter to the Editor policy of the local paper over there: • An endorsement of a candidate for public office will publish only as a paid advertisement and must contain a disclosure statement as provided by the Texas Election Code. • “Neutral” commentary regarding a candidate or a group of candidates will be considered for publication only as a paid advertisement and must contain a disclosure statement as provided by the Texas Election Code. • No commentary opposing a candidate or a group of candidates is acceptable for publication. See it here (along with some ironic "Freedom of Speech" preaching.) What letter regarding the elections could possibly be printed without forking over some $$$$?

Sea Of Love

Continuing on my kick to go back and see all the movies that I should, I finally saw 1989's "Sea Of Love."

Top notch. A pretty good thriller starring Al Pacino and a smokin' hot Ellen Barkin (who I have never been a fan of.)

Odd Thought: So what if you live in crime invested New York? Every character always opened the door without a chain lock and without looking through the peep hole.

Oddest Credit: I always watch the ending credits in old movies just in case there is a current star buried within the cast. This one had a true gem. Deep into the rolling credits came this:
"Black Man ........................................Samuel L. Jackson."
Man, if he was in there, I never saw him.

Couple of What?

I did something a tad unusual last night: I went and saw a play in downtown Bridgeport. Being the cynic that I am, I was kind of expecting a live version of a Hee Haw skit but was pleasantly surprised. It was at times edgy, at times mildly shocking, and at times touching. Yeah, it can be a little rough around the edges but that's what gives it its charm. The crowd was relatively small and on the older side. That gave rise to some uncomfortable silence at times. Check it out.
