Abilene-Wylie is a long way out there. Abilene-Wylie and Decatur don't mix.
And I remember when the Star-Telegram would always at least run a two story paragraph about the Eagles or Bulls. Not any more. And with email readily available to transfer information, that seems incredible.
I have a passing interest in baseball, but I can't help but notice that the Yankees and Red Sox, after playing 160 games this year, are tied at the top of the AL East Division. To make it fun, there are only two games to play and they are facing each other.
And today, Randy Johnson pitches for the Yankees.
Good stuff.
. . . for the oddest web site.
If hot girls who have their cars stuck in mud is something you dream about, this site is for you.
O.J. Simpson appeared at a horror movie convention and signed autographs (for a fee, of course).
Can you believe it was October 3, 1995 that the jury came back with a "not guilty" verdict?
"NEW YORK (Reuters) - ABC News anchor Peter Jennings, who died of lung cancer in August, left an estate valued at more than $50 million, most of which was willed to his fourth wife and to two children from a previous marriage. "
And I bet he would have left more than $50 million but for the three previous wives.
(The gal in the pic was not one of his wives - although I may make her one of mine.)
John Roberts was confirmed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court this week after no one could find anything in his past that would make him "unfit" for the job. And in this day and time, the slightest misstep in his past would have killed his nomination.
That got me to thinking. Have you really lived if you have made no mistake, committed no sin, or expressed no view that would be sufficient to prevent you from holding a national public office?
Timmy Smith had the oddest NFL career. The running back played only three years and gained only 602 yards combined. (He actually played for Dallas one year).
And then there was that odd Super Bowl in 1988. After gaining only 407 yards over 14 games that seaason, he gained 204 yards in the Super Bowl to lead the Redskins to the championship. It was his three hours of fame - never to be repeated.
Well, at least good fame. Today he was arrested by the Feds for "conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine".
The money pit known as the War on Drugs continues.
. . . must mean nothing to the creator of this site which has a collection of music videos to make your head spin.
The lady in the pic below comes from this series of book-in photos that prosecutors swear are authentic. I've yet to verify who the lady is or if the photos are legitmate.
According to the USA Today:
"SAN FRANCISCO — Methamphetamine addicts are using the Internet to commit identity theft . . . . Meth addicts — already adept at stealing personal information from mailboxes to finance drug habits — now are hacking PCs to steal information."
Trust me, I know a bunch of meth addicts. Computer hacking is not on their list of skills.
Sociologist Andrew Cherlin (I have no idea who he is) made this statement in last week's Newsweek that focused on poverty: "We have a moral obligation to provide every American with a decent life."
The order was a (very odd) condition of probation. The story is here.
This conservative judiciary doesn't play games.
(Actual picture of the judge being sworn in).
I think this guy is a tremendous actor although he is so low profile that I still had to search for his name. He's appeared in some of the oddest films: Boogie Nights (sexually confused microphone guy), Happiness (stalker telephone caller), Love Liza (gas sniffer) and then a bunch of mainstream stuff: Along Came Polly (washed up child actor), Cold Mountian (a preacher), The Talented Mr. Ripley (high tone friend).
So.....uh.....good job, Mr. Hoffman.
I can't decide if Mike Castellucci, Channel 8's "Why Guy" on their early morning broadcast is funny, weird, nerdy or a combination [edit for spelling - sheesh] of all three.
