F Bomb Reaction

Somebody forgot to edit out an F Bomb (but I honestly couldn't hear it). The funny part is the reporter's reaction.

Sell! Sell! No! Buy! Buy!

Headline confusion.

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

• The San Francisco Giants are kind of hard to dislike.
• I'll probably regret not going to one of the World Series games. It may not come back here for another 40 years. (This after a buddy of mine up at the courthouse had this same discussion, he then runs out and buys a single ticket, and texts me a photo from the game last night.)
• I predict Cliff Lee won't re-sign here. He used the word "they" a whole lot when referring to the Rangers in his post game press conference.
• After Nelson Cruz's homer last night, the Second Grader said, "At least we have a point." Mrs. LL looked at her and said, "It's called a run" and then she looked at me expecting a big Sports Approval Nod. She got it. 
• Pitchers and catchers report in 105 days. 
• Doesn't that Rangers "Western Division Champions" t-shirt seem a little cheesy now?
• I'm not sure what happened in the district court yesterday morning. I saw a jury panel being dismissed, and a guy in civilian clothes in handcuffs in the nearby conference room. I'm guessing a last second plea. 
• Kim Kardashian's Halloween cat outfit. 
• Paris Hilton's Halloween Indian outfit.
• Did it seem like the sun failed to come up on time this morning.  It was dark. 
• The absolute worst start to a newscast in the history of ever. Funny.
• Man, Fox News is giddy about this being election day. I bet that most of you are, too.
• Chico and Paradise vote on alcohol sales. Hmm. Chico votes for it. Paradise votes against it. At least according to my early exit polling. 
• Stopped by my cleaners yesterday to find out the landlord had changed the locks. I'm glad I was dropping off and not picking up. 
• Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson yesterday in Dallas, told the Republican crowd that they are “liberty-loving, gun-owning, God-fearing, socialism-hating, anti-big government, hard working, oil- and gas-drilling, Texas Republicans who are better for it, not bitter about it.” Good grief.
• Star-Telegram Halloween party pics from this weekend. (I like the Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love" get up, and there are a few "hey, nows" in there.)
• Bridgeport's Colin Jones had a 30 yard interception return for a TD as TCU beat UNLV on Saturday.
• Upper deck tickets for the Cowboy game on Sunday were $12. They were horrible seats, but that's a shocking price.

Oh, My

PHILADELPHIA (WABC) -- Police say an elderly woman from Wilmington, Delaware has been interviewed by investigators for driving the wrong way on Interstate 95 in suburban Philadelphia, leading to a number of crashes.

The woman, an 84-year-old, was interviewed at her home, according to the Pennsylvania State Police. They say charges are pending.

It was jarring to watch as the driver, and she may not have even have realized she was going north in one of the southbound lanes on I-95. (More.)

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

• For the first time in years, I handed candy out last night for Trick or Treaters. There are some pretty cute kids out there.
• Then again, when the teenagers team up if feels like Gangs of New York.
• Did a double take when I looked up and saw the Family Puppy in a Lady GaGa wig.
• I actually dressed up in costumes on both Friday and Saturday. Too. Much.  Halloween seems to have transitioned to a pretty big holiday. 
• It's November and the Rangers are still playing. Although they might play just one more game. Can they buy a hit?
• I was strangely satisfied just to get to the World Series.
• I hardly watched any of the Cowboys game. Wade's going to get fired, but it won't be during the season.
• There's nothing that powers me down more than to hear, "Jerry Jones the owner needs to fire Jerry Jones the general manager."
• I had the joy of running to the grocery store at 5:00 a.m. this morning. Milk was needed. Not a lot going on in a grocery store at that time. 
• Huge fight in San Franscico McDonalds that goes on and on and on. 
• At least 52 dead in Iraq.
• Heard one political ad referring to a Texas politician as not only a "liberal" but an "Obama-Pelosi liberal." 
• Man, there were a bunch of people at the Jon Steward/Stephen Colbert rally this weekend. At one point they had Cat Stevens perform "Peace Train", Ozzy Osborn sing "Crazy Train" and the O'Jays sing "Love Train." Funny.
• College football: If Alabama wins out, they will leap over a no loss TCU team. 

Sweet

I really don't know the story behind this pic, but I was browsing around the Bridgeport ISD Facebook page when I came across it.

Love it.

For You Journey Fans Out There

I'm not a music guy. At all. But in my younger days I was a huge Journey fan. It's the only band I paid to go see three times in Reunion Arena.

The band's lead singer, Steve Perry, was at the World Series and can be seen at about the 1:00 minute mark singing along with "Don't Stop Believing". The second part of the video catches him on the big screen singing "Lights."

Good times. I'm getting all nostalgic up in here.

Want to see an 8 point deer knocked through my buddy's chain-linked fence in Seven Wires last night?

Look.

Hey, it's the circle of life.

(Thanks, Mike.)

This is another one of those "create your own" videos which is kind of funny. At least to me.

(I haven't tried it yet, but apparently it's pretty easy to create your own cartoon.)

Breaking News: Bombs? This May Be Big

(CNN) -- Authorities were responding to reports of suspicious items on cargo flights that landed Friday in Newark, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I caught the tail end of a CBS Radio news alert (they broke into programming) and I'm pretty sure it said one of the packages has been confirmed to be a bomb.  They are UPS planes.

Developing . . .

Edit: The bomb was on a UPS plane in London headed to the U.S.  Get ready for every UPS plane to be grounded and searched. 

Talk Radio News

This will find a limited audience, but I know quite a few of you are sports talk radio fans.

The News: Delicious.   105.3 The Fan's Richie Whitt and The Hammer will be moving to the 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. time slot beginning in November.   This puts them in direct competition with The Ticket's "The Hardline" -- the gig that Greg Williams was booted from.

(And in other news, former Ranger's Play by Play man Josh Lewin is getting his own show on The Fan.)
