Another Bomb Threat At Decatur School

I think it's the high school.  Edit: Confirmed.

Waiter Identifies, Uh, Rather Large Girls As "Fat Girls"

Random Monday Morning Thoughts

• A wrong way driver in Dallas demolished the car he hit. 
• And we had someone strike a police car with their vehicle. They just keep coming. 
• The sideline reporter for the Cowboys game, Laura Okmin, reminded me of Ann Coulter.
• Isn't it about time to see the commercial of the guy who gives his wife a Lexus for Christmas?
• The start and conclusion of the Army/Navy game is really, really neat. The game itself, not so much. (But if you saw the crying Army quarterback you kind of wanted him to "man up" after about 10 minutes.) 
• Sheriff Joe tweeted a picture of him in a parade and must have been oblivious to the fact that there was a aorta-potty directly behind him. 
• I wish Jerry Jones would fire Rob Ryan based upon principle. He reminds me too much of his daddy. 
• Every time Jason Garrett looks at his play sheet to select a play my confidence level in him drops.
• The two Cowboys who were in the wreck causing the death of one of them had been at "Privae Dallas, a private club where comedian Shawn Wayans performed Friday night" according to 105.3 The Fan. 
• Tommy Tuberville leaving the head coaching job at Texas Tech to go to Cincinnati is baffling. I'm just guessing he felt he needed to get out of there before he was fired. 
• The Mark Davis Show on the radio this morning is a taped replay from last week with no explanation as to where he is.
• The 30 for 30 on Bo Jackson was really, really good but my DVR recorded version stopped about five minutes to early because some show about "the Heisman" ran long on Saturday night.  Jackson's professional career was so short. 
• Got to witness two teenage girls in the house cry at the end of Titanic despite the fact they had seen the movie a million times.
• Mrs. LL and I watched Magic Mike. Good grief. 
• Some Mexican singer named Jenni Rivera has been killed in a plane crash.  I don't think she is as big as Selena but it sounds like she was pretty famous.

Aggie OSU Fight In Dallas

Published on Nov 30, 2012

Out-of-town Oklahoma State fans walk into a bar where some local Aggies are watching the football game. The Cowboys fans began taunting after the game, then demanded a cigarette from one of the friends of the Aggies who refused. A brawl ensued.

Can we have a better description than that? There has to be more to it than that. Did someone say something negative about Johnny Football? The Corp? Reveille? There has to be more. 

Hey, if idiots want to brawl, I say knock yourself out. But the face stomp when someone is down might be the most cowardly act you can perform. I wonder if that was an Aggie or an OSU guy. I'm guessing OSU.

P.S. If I were one of the Aggies about to land a haymaker to an OSU boy, I couldn't help but say, "I'm a man! I'm 40!" (Pow!)

And Later They All Sat Around And Listened to Larry The Cable Guy

Go ahead and make fun of me for being fearful of working on geometry homework last night. You see, I know my limitations.  These guys (and I'm taking a wild guess here) do not.

Now if only Honey Boo Boo's mom had been holding that ball.

Good Grief

All part of a wacky radio bit. Story.

Edit: Here is the audio of the prank.

Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• Edit: Oops. I was debating with RTG to post and forgot to make a decision.
• It sounds like a funny bit: There is talk of Cowboys Stadium hosting four college basketball games to be played simultaneously.  But, logistically speaking, wouldn't the multiple buzzers and whistles drive all the players crazy?
• There's something that makes me uncomfortable about the Salvation Army bell-ringing campaign. 
• Pictures of Decatur guys shooting deer, a coyote, and a bobcat(?). 
• Unemployment rate news this morning: It has fallen to 7.7%.  I guess America will survive the presidential election after all!
• Mrs. LL last night: "Help her with geometry." Me: "You're kidding, right?"  Her: "It's only geometry."  I felt like Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes was bearing down on me as I picked up the homework page with a shaking hand. 
• There's a whistleblower lawsuit involving an assistant principal in Fort Worth which is filed in Wise County and was mentioned in the Fort Worth Weekly this week after a recent ruling. 
• A three year old from Decatur was listed in the Update's death notices.
• I mentioned this from time to time: More than a decade ago the Update used to list the names of individuals who were admitted to the local hospital. That sounds insane now. 
• There were reports from the metroplex of a huge meteor around 6:45 a.m. this morning. 
• News video of people smoking pot under the Space Needle in Seattle yesterday was just plain weird. (It was the first day Washington's legalization took effect. Oddly, it is still illegal to smoke in public but no one seemed to care.) 
• The McAfee anti-virus guy who is accused of murdering a man in Belize has been arrested and is blogging from jail.  That man has lost his mind.
• If murder was legal, how much would it escalate? Twice as much? Ten times? More? 
• I am so out of the music loop that I have no idea what a song by Mumford & Sons sounds like. I just see their name all over the place. 
• Professionally, I may have had the greatest emotional experience over the last seven days. I came in contact with a man who was skeptical and suspicious of me who now is concerned I might not be around to help in the future. 
• Thing I learned this morning: Lee Harvey Oswald was only 24 when he did the deed.
• It seems like the electrical-poles-catching-fire story would have been bigger than what it was.

Alert: Google Street View Car Is In Wise County

Looks very similar to this one.

Edit: Here's a shot of it in Decatur

Electrical Pole Fires This Morning: This Is Weird

I heard a news blurb of power outages in Waco and surrounding counties this morning attributable  to of all things, electrical poles catching fire. Now I just heard that I-30 in Rowlett was shut down because a pole caught fire there and might fall on the highway.

Crazy.

"Get Your Daddy On"

I could have soooo made this video. I went through all of that yesterday.

Radio Guy Mark Davis With Two Rockettes This Morning

The Rockettes are performing at the Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie right now.

(Who knew they wore those outfits even when not working?)

Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

• How long have there been fuses in Christmas light strings? 
• The guy behind the failed Rick Perry campaign and the failed David "Chinese Ads" Dewhurst campaign now says that the Republican Party does not need to re-invent itself. That probably means the Republican Party should re-invent itself. 
• A guy goes through an SMU dorm offering free massages. He was arrested for criminal trespass since it's not illegal to offer free massages. 
• Here's my favorite sentence from that story: "One student claimed that Kim touched her inappropriately during a massage." So someone took him up on it?
• I've never watched Homeland but everyone is griping about how horrible the last episode was.
• Last night everyone began to freak out because Syria was getting extremely close to launching chemical weapons on the rebels. This sounds frighteningly serious.
• I've got a tiny, tiny chip on a tooth but it is like a magnet for my tongue. 
• I learned of three marriage/relationship breakups yesterday of people I'm acquainted with. Kind of jarring.
• I was not allowed by the Freshman In The House  to season hamburger meat (with some package that said add it and water to meat and bring to boil) because she thought I would screw it up.
• No one is coming to take your guns away. 
• The murder victim in the murder/suicide by the Kansas City Chief will be buried today in a tiny town in Collin County, Texas. 
• Bob Sturm on The Ticket yesterday explained how every year he and a group of guys visit a Guatemalan orphanage.  Man, his description makes it sound so shocking. (And he has done more than just visit, he adopted a Honduran child a couple of years ago.) 
• Johnny Manziel (Aggie quarterback and future Heisman winner) turns 20 today. 20!
• Ann Coulter was on Hannity last night. I'm convinced she does meth. And I'm serious.
