Speaking Of Pooches

Devon Energy buys the Wise County Sheriff's Office a drug dog. That dog is renamed "Devon." Dog promises to carry on the "War On Drugs" unless it involves a Devon employee.

(OK, two of those three sentences is are true.)

Edit: Getting lots of post (especially one from an anonymous coward who constantly emails me) that this story is three years old. May be true. For some reason it showed up on my RSS Feed today.

Uh Oh

The folks out at Tech have come up with a controversial T-shirt for this week's game against A&M. (You need to know that the A&M Mascot is a collie and you need to know who Michael Vick is.)

Edit: If you read the story in the link, you'll come to the conclusion that no Tech student has a name. Almost all the quotes are from "a student", "a fan", or "a Tech fan."

It's All About Me

As a follow-up to my post two days ago about my battle with the obstacle course, one person was nice (?) enough to send me photographic evidence. That's me going through the tires (after tripping on tire #2), and that's me looking like a crazed orangutan jumping over a pit (which was probably full of snakes - I'm not sure.)

Fortunately, there weren't any pics of me slipping off the parallel bars and almost knocking my teeth out. This was not pretty.

Edit: And I apologize for not posting a comment straight out of Full Metal Jacket. It was very funny, however.

It's Always Nice To Remember . . .

. . . that the Cowboys play tonight. You know, I'm actually interested again.

Edit: The Cowboys are getting a little cocky in its advertising. Playoffs?

Sheriff's Deputy Goes Nuts

This is day old news, but man it's a crazy story. ABC News said that it was the result of a "love triangle" with more details to follow. Disturbing.

Edit: Wow. He shot himself three times before finally getting it right.

Just Put Your Lips Together And Blow

The idea of putting a whistle on a life vest is a great idea. Although Kate Winslet screaming "Jack! Jack!" will stick in my brain for the next two hours.

On The Square This Weekend

(Reader submitted pics. Thanks.)

Part of the $50 Million Cotton Bowl Renovation

Call me crazy, but I prefer a "flip down" seat with a back instead of a bench. No wonder the Cotton Bowl will soon be a thing of the past.

From The Morning News Yesterday

I simply do not believe that. I don't believe a cop was "randomly" pulling people over nor do I believe her kids said that. I think she is simply calling attention to the Irving "arrest and deport" policy that is all over the news.

Uh, and let me label this post an opinion.

I Love This Moment

But having "Bevo" (a longhorn) and "Boomer" (a horse) introduce the starting lineups cheapens the whole thing.

Edit: I take no joy in The Evil Empire starting out conference play at 0-2 or losing their last 4 conference games. Really. Ok, maybe a little. But this game was much closer that I thought - and Texas might want to bench Jamaal Charles until he learns to hang onto the ball.

Quick Hit

OK, maybe baseball can be a little cool. The game winning home run by Manny Ramirez last night was a monster. And him posing after the fact was just gold.

And did you see the crazy bugs attack the players in the Yankee game?

On This . . .

. . . my favorite football weekend of the year, I'm up before dawn to take place in something called the "Wellness Challenge" sponsored by the local hospital. There are such events as "obstacle course" and "track relay". My goal is to not get hurt. My dream is to go back to bed right now.

Edit: I almost died on an obstacle course. And some of the events were a bit odd:

August Fatal Wreck Update

94 mph with a .12 blood alcohol concentration is a very bad combination.

Story.

Helpful Hint For Latoisha

If you want to defend yourself against "Compelling Prostitution" charges on Fox 4 News, try not to wear a very low cut top with a hand print on the front. I'm just saying.

I Know . . .

. . . this will interest maybe five people (if that), but if you want an MP3 of the Foo Fighters covering "Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings, here ya go. Good stuff.

And Another

Story. One of these days we'll have a teacher sex scandal and a motorcycle crash all in one story. I'd probably post that.

You Have As Many Questions As I Do

I'd heard and written about this before but saw the newest info over at bagofnothing.com:

America's first year-round outdoor ski and snowboard park is scheduled to open in the fall of 2009. The project is located within close proximity to the Dallas and Fort Worth area within easy access to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, between the Alliance Airport and Texas Motor Speedway.

More here and a promotional video on youtube here.

Cheesy . . .

. . . but not bad. Someone combines footage of Tony Romo's mad scramble last week with a song by Fountains of Wayne. Link.
