I Should Make This My Logo

Wowza

There is a street in Dallas called Waggoner Drive. I really don't know much about it other than it seems to a little bit above Highland Park and well within the LBJ loop. This is a screenshot of a few random homes I got of Google Maps.

I was curious. Why? Because a lady was mugged in her garage on the street yesterday and her wedding ring was stolen. The value of that ring? $350,000.00

Edit: Channel 5 tracked down a duplicate:

I Think Katie Holmes Is Gettin' Hot

Saw This Over At Frontburner

From the Dallas Morning News today about the downtown area and the club Purgatory:



And then Google revealed this image with the caption, "After we left the Purgatory Club."

Wisconsin Papers

I was curious about what the front pages of the Wisconsin papers looked like today after a Packers loss, but the biggest story up there is s crazy one: A guy is accused of spiking his girlfriend's drink with the "abortion pill" thereby causing a miscarriage.

Another Day. Another Overturned 18 Wheeler at 287 & 380

Although I may be more fascinated with Victory Church's new billboard.

Edit: The aftermath

The Today Show . . .

. . . is obsessed with the story about missing wife of this guy. Everyday they've got someone remotely related to the case on the show who has a big bag of nothing to add.

Oh, wait. Ann Curry just dramatically told me about an upcoming segment that will teach me "the truth about salt!" Gotta go.

A Thursday Night Cowboy Game

Is odd.

Edit @ 6:34 p.m.: I just checked in on the NFL Network (whose pre-grame show is so Wheels Off) and noticed the Cowboys are wearing the "throw back" uniforms. I hates me some Throw Back uniforms.

Edit: Funny bit

Crazy Email?

In part, it read:

A friend . . . said there is an airplane upside down on the B'port runway with the identification covered up on it . . . . Something seems to be "hush", "hush" about it. Inquiring minds want to know.

Question Of The Night

Motorcycle . . .

. . . update. (Support for my continuing belief that there is about one motorcycle death a week in the metroplex.)

I Call It . . .

"Fake Birds In A Decatur Front Lawn."

I Don't Know

All I know it has something to do with the United Way, a pig, Bridgeport, and Flick'r. And that it was part of a set uploaded today.

We Had Our Own Gridlock This Afternoon/Evening

Not exactly sure what happened on FM 51 tonight before 6:00 p.m.but it had traffic backed up for a long way.

Just Like . . ..

, , , my seventh grade science class in Bridgeport. The story behind the picture is here (but, be warned, it's written like a seventh grader. I'm still trying to figure out if the photo is from a week after the punishment or if it took a week before the punishment was handed out. And I still don't know if the father consented to the punishment or was never notified.)

Baylor Hires New Exorcist

A few people have asked me what I think about the hiring of new Baylor head coach Art Briles. My answer: I dunno.

He took a 0-10 Houston team to four bowl games over the last five years, but I don't think Houston had to routinely play Tech, OU, the Ag, and the Evil Empire. One of two things will happen: (1) he'll be a bust like the last three coaches, or (2) he brings Baylor up to six wins and bowl eligible thereby making him the hottest commodity in the country as a miracle worker. He doesn't have to make Baylor great. He just has to make them average.

After years of Horrible, I'll take Average.

Edit: Tap the brakes there, hoss.

When Exactly Did The World Go Crazy?

So I'm roaming around some reputable (but irreverent) Boston sports blog when I come across a youtube video. I quote the blogger:

As far as the chick getting work done on her stomach, I don’t even know what I think about that. All I know is that I didn’t want to watch the whole thing but I couldn’t turn away either. If that was a 6 hour video of the chick just taking body blows I would have been forced to watch the entire thing. It was like I lost control of my body or something. Weird.

You're not curious. Are you?
