I Knew She Was An Alien

The Plague Of Alvord Students

Good luck finding lunch at Sonic, Chicken Express, or Jack in the Box in Decatur today around noon. A bus load of Alvord High School students was dumped in the Jack in the Box parking lot and they spread like wild fire to all the fast food joints. I think there were about a thousand of them, but I could be wrong.

Remember kids, stay in school and don't do drugs.

(Unrelated note: Somebody might want to tell the Whataburger folks that they can raise the U.S. flag from it's half mast status.)

Tina Fey: Funny and Hot

He Did What?

Maxim's Hottest Girl

Lindsay Lohan makes #1. And I don't even think the list was for "hot and trashy." If you want to see the list of all 100, one page at a time, go here.

The Cowboys Are Doomed

(Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood at the CMA's last night.) This guy, who has done very little, sucks up the spotlight like nobody's business. There's a weird vibe going on. And some bad karma.

What's More Disturbing?

The fact that she didn't know she was pregnant or her ability to tell a story?

I Officially Declare Lari Barager As My Nemesis

Fox 4 News did a story tonight on the crazy sounds coming from the courthouse that I wrote about last Friday.

Obviously, inspired by this blog, I was waiting for my big shout out from Lari. And then, as that great moment was to arrive, she said this in the story: "They [county officials] also turned off the speakers after we arrived which is why we are bringing it to you from a post on the Internet." At this point you see a video of this blog, my youtube.com creation from last week, and the audio of the screeching whatevers.

But do I get credit? Do I hear a Barry Green? Do I hear the name "Liberally Lean"? Is there a reference to a "local blog"? No. Nothing. Nada. Big Barry tears rolled down my Barry cheeks as I sat on my couch in amazement.

Lari, I'm hurt. I can only guess that my strange obsession with co-employee Megan Henderson has turned you against me. I don't even know you anymore.

The Day That "Big Oil" . . .

. . . came to Decatur in an unprecedented way.

Note To Self

Keep toddler away from break dancers. Edit: Here's a "remix."

Sarah Silverman Jazzes Me

Kelly?

I think someone's been doing some super-sizing.

Wow: Jerry Falwell Is Dead

Link.

Edit: This guy was a political force in the 1980s. I had to research my own blog to refresh my memory as to just how much.

Hard Hitting Journalism

Very Odd Star Telegram Headline

Just about the time you start giggling about the first sentence they hit you with the second one. That's kind of a big ,"Uh, and one other thing." (Story.)

Saw This Last Night

Despite the old guy's plea, I doubt his assailant will get a job or go to school.

Update

The Messenger is reporting that there's a big wreck at 380 and Amanda Way (about three miles west of Decatur and one of the most dangerous intersections in the county). That explains a bunch of sirens heard at around 8:00 a.m.

If anyone knows anything, feel free to post.

Lasik Surgery

I just saw an ad on Channel 4 for Lasik surgery. Nothing new there. But the ad said it was offering a discount (from Dr. Boothe) of $1,200. (Sheesh, if that's the discount, the procedure must be pricey.)

Which gives rise to my question for my faithful readership: How much does it cost?
