Funny

Could someone possibly take clips from the movie School of Rock and create a trailer that would transform the movie into a horror flick? Yes they could. Genious. YouTube video here.

That Is Not Me In The Middle

Golf Fans

Check out this hole in one by Fuzzy Zoeller. As described by ESPN: Zoeller stole the show with a hole in one on the 170-yard 16th hole, an ace he never saw. Zoeller's drive landed in the rough on the fringe of the green and to the left of the pin. Thinking he had a chip shot in front of him, Zoeller stepped off to the side and asked his caddie for his sandwich. But after laying still for almost 10 seconds, the ball slowly trickled down the green and into the cup. Zoeller, who finished with a 68 to reach 7-under, gave the crowd a wry grin and a sarcastic thumbs-up after one of the most improbable of his 16 career aces.. YouTube video clip.

Decatur Baseball

Decatur is playing Abilene Wylie in the high school baseball playoffs today. They only need to win one of two games. The dropped the first one 18-9. I don't know the results of the second game. But Saginaw, where the games were being played, had some nice facilities.

Runaway Bay

Buried in a Friday Dallas Morning News story on counterfeiting was this: "An 18-month run of printing, selling and passing fake $100 bills at area stores ended with a guilty plea last month by a 45-year-old Runaway Bay, Texas man. Agents found more than $17,000 of his counterfeit money stored in a Bedford warehouse. . . . The recent roundup [of other men] was launched after one prolific counterfeiter wreaked havoc on local merchants in Runaway Bay." I don't think I heard anything about this. And why they didn't print the guy's name is a mystery.

National Spelling Bee

As I neglect the Maverick/Suns game at this moment to check out the National Spelling Bee on Channel 8, let me sum it up in one word: Fascinating! (Did I spell that correctly?) But the greatest heart tugging moments occur when a kid misspells a word, the bell sounds, and the kid then walks over into the loving arms of his or her parents. It is just great.

Never Get Between

One of the Famous Bass Brothers of Fort Worth . . .

. . . has died. The Bass brothers are single-handedly, uh, multi-handedly responsible for revitalizing downtown Fort Worth. When I worked there in the early 1990s, my buddies and I nicknamed the private security cops that patrolled downtown "the Basstoppo". We were pretty proud of that.

The Blog's Official Speller . . .

. . . Samir Patel, has been eliminated. Says so here. "Eremacausis" got the best of him.
