- I've always thought that Discount Tire ad, encouraging people to bring their tire back (by throwing it through the window) if they weredissatisfied, was weird.
- I saw a fireworks stand this morning where you can buy 1 and get 1 free!!!! Oh, wait.
- Megan Hendeson wore yellow.this morning on Fox 4 and looked hawt.
- General Motors stock fell below $10 a share yesterday for the first time since 1954. Things are getting bad.
- Saw Tarrant County prosecutor Richard Alpert, who I've known since 1992, on TV yesterday bragging about how cops in Tarrant County will seek search warrants for blood this weekend when someone is arrested for DWI. He was firing off a "We will track you down and find you" speech for all the cameras. (For a second, I thought The Taliban would be doing a bunch of drunk driving in Fort Worth this weekend.) But just two weeks ago, he wouldn't talk to the press about the kid who was no billed by the grand jury in connection with the death of the Chico couple on Bonds Ranch Road.
- I was wrong about predicting the judge would allow the Dallas County Sheriff to approve the Discovery Channel filming in the jail.
- The Dallas Morning News home page this morning actually takes you to a different page for an ad that you had to click on to exit. Beating.
- Stolen from elsewhere: "Sometimes people say I shouldn't mind being searched if I have nothing to hide. I immediately accuse them of having a swastika tattooed on their genitalia -- if they have nothing to hide, then surely they shouldn't mind dropping their pants to prove me wrong." Gold.
- Someone drowned in Marine Creek Lake yesterday. I've never been in it. Which reminds me, I went to Burger's Lake as a teenager but have never been back. I want to.
- Jarhead had a pretty interesting take on the double Grandbury murder yesterday. .(But I noticed he has started using my Random Thought format which I have Triple Patented and Double Copyrighted. He'll soon hear from my Army of Lawyers.)
- Are we what we Google?
- I may go on vacation in a couple of weeks. I've thought about having a Guest Host for this here blog for that week, but I'm not sure about it.
- I have no interest in that Tila Tequila gal. I think she's nasty.
- I don't think I have any friends who know who won the Bassmaster's Classic last year. And that's OK.
- Fox 4 News had a jailhouse interview of some gal that allegedly got drunk and drove her vehicle through a Denton cemetary knocking down a bunch of headstones. Her defense: "It wasn't like I was riding around digging up people." Good point.
- I stumbled upon an old Andy Griffith Show the other day where the Women's Ausillary Club had been arrested for some crazy charge. Andy (who oddly served as judge in a very Wise County sort of way) made the whole thing "go away" by finding them guilty but suspending the sentence. Aunt Bee then announced it was unacceptable because it was still a conviction that would show up on their "record".. She then said she was withdrawing her guilty plea and demanding a new trial. I wanted to hire Aunt Bee as an associate because she was deadly accurate from a criminal procedure prospective.
- And The Andy Griffith Show went downhill when it changed from black and white to color.
- Christie Brinkley's estranged husband spent about $3,000 a month on pornographic Web sites, the model's lawyer said at the start of the couple's nasty divorce trial. What? Pay for internet porn?
- I would hate to be a traffic cop. I just have no desire to ruin someone's day with a speeding ticket
