Now That's A Good Comment

The Dallas Morning News mentioned today that Troy Aikman took his daughter to the Hannah Montana concert last night. On another blog, appeared the following comment.


That, my friends, is quality.

Breaking News!!!! Oh, The Humanity!

This is what we've got: A white pickup was headed west on N. Main in Decatur and veered into the Just Like New parking lot. He struck four five cars before T-boning the fifth sixth one. My high ranking sources in the Decatur PD tell me the driver of the white truck, 32 years old, may have suffered from a seizure.

Edit: On an unrelated note, there's a tanker truck on fire on I-35 between Denton and Dallas that has the interstate completely shut down. For the time being, Fox 4 has a live feed here.

Nice Wand

Oh, yeah, there is a reason.

Party Boat Hits Iceberg . . . Or Something Like That

Thriller

Ok, I almost distance from this. I've never cared for marching bands, but I do like marching bands doing schtick. This is the Oklahoma Sooners band breaking out into the Michael Jackson "Thriller" dance. It happens with about a 1:00 left in the video and goes on for about 30 seconds. Ever since Jennifer Garner recreated that dance in 13 Going On 30, you're seeing it more and more. (Link.) Like the wedding dance video.

Auto Mechanics 101

I had a headlight go out on my SUV a couple of days. (Beating.) Now since that would be an open invitation for the local cops to pull me over, I figured I'd better fix it ASAP.

Since I'm capable of changing tires and changing batteries (and even famously changing my own oil when I was a teenager), I popped the hood to take a look at the back casing of the headlight to see if I could do it myself.

Not a chance.

Sheesh, it looked like I'd have to pull the engine to get to it. So I had to drop it off at James Wood's this morning to get it fixed (and it's already ready at 10:19 a.m. )

But that felt so wrong.

Edit: $47.12 (includes a really good car wash.)

That Cheerleader. . .

. . . from Heroes says, "I love it when cold weather blows into Wise County, and the guy on Fox 4 this morning mentioned that it may be only in the 40s on Thanksgiving. Me loves me some cold weather when I get my turkey from the IGA in Boyd."

(Hey, it's a quiet morning. A man struggles for content some time.)

Hannah Montana Tickets: Another Reason The Terrorists Are Winning

All from Fox 4 News tonight:


(Above.) Just a mom and her daughter getting out of a limo at the concert tonight. Mom's wearing a hot dress. Maybe.


"I paid $355 for two." (Actual quote.)


"Well, we got some T-shirts and some programs. Ya know, we just spent $20 to park. Once you get here and you've gone this far, what's money?" (Actual quote.)

Get Your Drink On

Dallas County Judge Bruce Priddy was arrested on "suspicion" of DWI early this morning after leaving a bar at 2:45 a.m. (Side note: No one can ever legally be arrested for "suspicion" of anything. It's supposed to require "probable" cause. But I digress.)

Memo to Judge: I don't care if you're stone cold sober. Hanging out at a bar at 2:45 on a Wednesday morning is not conducive to "good judging" in court that day.

But this should make the right wing happy: He was the first judge to impose an injunction against the city of Farmer's Branch for their anti-Hispanic . . . uh . . . anti-immigration . . . uh . . . how do they say it? . . . oh, yeah . . . anti-illegal-immigration ordinances.

"Oh, Minnie, You're So Fine"

Decorations went up today at the "old" post office in Decatur which is now owned by the city. Is Mickey saying, "Hey, now!"?

Sir!

A Cold Front . . .

. . . has just moved through Decatur.

I'm Glad YouTube Wasn't Around When I Was A Kid

This video is everywhere today, and at first I thought there was a slight chance she might be mentally handicapped. But no one else thinks that. If she is, don't laugh. If she's just a goofy kid, then I'm pretty sure it's ok to laugh. I face these moral dilemmas every day.

Do You Enjoy Your Gig?

A few of the comments posted over the last month have used the phrase, "Where's the 'Hammer'?" That question refers to Boyd's own Greg "The Hammer" Williams who has been missing from his regular gig at KTCK, The Ticket.

Finally, some answers.

Wise County Has A New Pope

The "Blessing Of The Socks And Underwear Department" will occur at noon. Fellowship at the in-store McDonalds immediately thereafter.

Reaching

Ticket personality Craig Miller said he saw Jenna Bush and a bunch of girls eating dinner last night at Terrilli's on Greenville Avenue. Since I've eaten a Terrilli's (on a wheels off first date about 10 years ago) and since Terrilli's kinda sounds like Decatur's "Frilly's", I'm wedging the story in here.

Still hot.

Tila Tequila

MTV's "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila", where guys and . . . uh . . . girls compete for the love of myspace phenomenon Tila Tequila is simply awful.

My life is crumbling around me if I can't appreciate junk like this any more.

Funny
