Call Back

This appeared in the Dallas Morning News today.

I'm not sure if many metroplex readers will understand it. But if I recall correctly, around 1990, over a series of months, a number of people were arrested at the rest stop along 287 near Alvord for alleged homosexual activity. Yep, it was illegal back then. There were allegations that those arrested were directed by Sheriff's personnel to a particular bail bond company to make the cases "go away".

What's he doing in D.C.? Has the Terror Threat risen?

Jerry Did What?

From Friday night.

We've Got An Epidemic Going On

A couple of weeks back I posted about an Escalade in my neighborhood having its wheels stolen. A couple of days later someone mailed me a picture of the same thing happening in Haslet.

Anyway, I'm in Dallas yesterday, look up, and see this.

Saturday Morning Pick Me Up

Not related. At least the pictures aren't.

Allow Me To Retort

The above screenshot is a portion of a prior blog I wrote back in April. I'm reposting it because a Tarrant County grand jury quietly declined to indict him yesterday. What's the phrase? "Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?"

"Wreck with carflight west boyd on 114"

What does this headline mean along with this tiny pic? I have no idea. But someone was kind enough to send it to me this evening. Yeah, it may not be the work of Joe Duty and Robert Morgan, but it's news.

Details won't hold us back. Potential misinformation won't hold us back. This is The Blog: Printing rumor and innuendo for two years. And if someone is kind enough to tip me off to something, I'm running with it. Godspeed.

Any Guesses?

Story.

And Jerry Jones won't say how much the personal seat licenses will be (the purchaser will have the right to renew his season ticket every year.)

But for reference: The Cowboys used "seat options" (same basic concept, kinda) in the early 1970s to finance Texas Stadium. They cost $250 way back then.

I think the Texas Motor Speedway used personal seat licenses, but I don't know how much they cost.

Edit: A faithful reader has discovered that the Cowboys sell a handful of PSLs right now for Texas Stadium.

. . . some news about OJ today, but the pictures that are popping up featuring OJ are far more entertaining.

100% Gold

So a guy in Minnesota allegedly steals a cell phone and a purse from a woman and then tells her to remove her shoes because he is going to suck her feet. Ok, I've seen worse. Actually, who hasn't thought about the combination robbery & toe suck? But, for a moment, pretend that you just became the guy's court appointed lawyer. You go to the jail. Take your seat. And in he walks. If you don't do anything else the rest of the day, you gotta take a look at him.

Edgumacation

There was quite a bit of stirring this week when a New York Times / CBS News Poll revealed that one in three Americans believe that Saddam Hussein was directly involved in the 9/11 attacks. I thought that time was clouding everyone's memory. When I finally found the actual report (click to enlarge), I was surprised to learn that this misconception used to be worse!

Friday Crowd Pleaser

Incredibly slow news day. Nothing got my attention this morning. Absolutely nothing. And when the Messenger's Update leads with "Football Tonight" and a blurb about street paving in Decatur, I don't feel so bad.

So I'll please the masses with that Matthew guy and his hot Brazilian girlfriend.

Victory Park

I went down to Victory Park in Dallas last night and you have to go see it. This pic is an old one and doesn't do it justice. There is now a high definition screen on the front of the American Airlines Center which is massive - 50 feet across? And the two screens on the side break up into four smaller screens and move move horizontally along the buildings.

Throw in three fountains that rise out of the ground along the center of concourse and you have quite the scene.

(And, I was there to be in the studio audience of The Gordon Keith Show - more on that later. Good times.)

Distance

Once in a blue moon (whatever that means), I visit www.BaylorFans.com which has a message board that is, uh, boring.

But I grabbed this screen shot today (click to . . . uh, you know) and that first ad should cause some concern for the Baylor Faithful. Sic' em?

For a Thursday afternoon pick-me-up.

Slight Double Take

I have to admit that I had to re-read that last line. But I guess it's grammatically correct.
