I'm Getting Out My Dress Blues . . .

. . . if I see one more commercial for the DVD release of "A Night At The Museum." I haven't seen it, but it looks like a movie that would beat me down.

Rangers Announcers Go Insane

It was 41 degrees in Cleveland tonight as the camera panned to these shirtless Cleveland Indian fans in a game against the Texas Rangers:


Then the camera cuts to the TV booth and we see Tom Grieve and Josh Lewin:

BENTONVILLE -- A Bentonville man asked the city to pay his two sons $20,000 and to fire the library director for including what he called "pornography" in the Bentonville Public Library collection.

"The Whole Lesbian Sex Book" by Felice Newman was removed from the library shelf after Earl Adams of Bentonville complained it is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value," according to a letter he wrote and faxed Feb. 16 to Mayor Bob McCaslin.

Adams said his 14- and 16-year-old sons, Kyle and Ryan, looked at the book while the 14-year-old was browsing for material on military academies. He requested the city pay him $10,000 per child, the maximum allowed under the Arkansas obscenity law.

"My sons were greatly disturbed by viewing this material and this matter has caused many sleepless nights in our house," he said in another e-mail to McCaslin earlier in February.

Story. Those poor boys. How will they ever recover?

Edit: Youtube even has an educational video here which I refuse to link to.

Random Thought

I watched the first two seasons of "Lost" on DVD and went from loving it to being bored with it. There's more freakin' people on that deserted island than there are in the Decatur Walmart on Saturday afternoon. And that's a lot of people.

Northbound 287 between Rhome and Decatur shut down due to flooding. Pics coming. Traffic backed up for miles.

Edit (click to enlarge):

This pic taken as I was coming up on the flooding (taken while heading southbound). That's the northbound lanes completely under water:

"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."
