Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts

  • I'd be scared to try to pull off a bank robbery because it seems like a lot of things would go wrong.
  • Funny line from Raising Arizona. Robber: "All right, ya hayseeds, it's a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground." Customer: "Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see..."
  • I'm not sure I've ever heard of "freezing fog" until yesterday.
  • As much as we get beaten down with "going green", I haven't heard any call to ban Christmas lights.
  • The Fort Worth ISD Superintendent now makes $328,950. That's insane.
  • Man, the Obama haters won't even give the man a chance. The man won fair and square (I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court didn't have to declare a winner in a 5-4 decision), but they've can't even wait for him to take office before the bashing starts.
  • I have no desire to see the Twilight movie about vampires. And I've tried to watch the HBO's True Blood but I've had a little trouble getting into it.
  • The Ticket spent a segment on why women think vampires are sexy. I'd never really thought about it.
  • I'm buying a black cloak.
  • I giggle when I see Santa in the middle of a nativity scene display. Very unstable.
  • I've never really thought about the meaning of the word "nativity".
  • There was a big story yesterday about a guy who got arrested after a child relative wrote a letter to Santa complaining of molestation. Before we hang him, would you want to be arrested based upon the facts contained in this affidavit as reproduced by The Smoking Gun? Anybody want to investigate those allegations before making an arrest?
  • My hot sports opinion: The Cowboys won't reach the NFC Championship game.
  • That "Real Wives Of [Insert Geographic Area]" is silly.
  • I've got a pretty big and cool bathtub but I use it only once every two years or so.
  • Come January 1, I will have worked at the same job for eight years and one day. That's will be a new record for me.
  • Very random road thought: That merging of traffic from eastbound 380 to southbound 287 (that relatively new exit) is dangerous.
  • Just got a "are you ok?" phone call. I laughed.
  • That girl in the top pic reminds me of some celebrity.
