Random Friday Morning Thoughts

• George Zimmerman's attorneys got off to a horrible start with the "knock knock" joke, but since then they have been fantastic.
• I think it's shocking that Florida only uses six person juries in a felony case. But the Supreme Court said in 1970 that it's OK. 
• Stolen from bagofnothing.com: The Zimmerman judge looks like Chris Farley. Funny and accurate. 
• Even though it seemed like a funny bit, I couldn't force myself to turn into Sharknado last night. (But here's a link to a video clip of it that depicts movie making at its very best.)
• I did watch a little bit of the Tour de France with the Fifth Grader In The House and discovered I had no idea how to explain it because I had no idea what was going on. 
• There's a new Matt Damon sci-fi flick called Elysium being advertised, and it looks awful. More shocking was to see that Jodie Foster is in it. What's she thinking?
• I liked that I had a couple of blog readers whom I've never met send me a link to an article about the 500th episode of This American Life because they thought I would enjoy it.
• The NFL Channel's A Football Life on Tom Landry was really good. But as private and all business that he was, that scene of him cleaning out his desk after his firing by Jerry Jones was beyond staged. I mean, he absolutely authorized a camera in his office to show him sadly packing up his stuff.
• I walked in the house last night and I detected a slight odor.  The Fifth Grader In The House says, "Mom's in bed." Me (experiencing Slumped Shoulders): "Really?" Her: "Yep, she's been sick all day. She's thrown up and everything." Oh, my. 
• Had someone tell me the other day that they couldn't imagine putting up with the attacks I receive in the comment section much less have the gumption to publish them. It's really odd. They tend to make me laugh more than anything else. 
• First sentence from news story: "The Irving Police Explorers participated in the Fort Worth Police Department SWAT camp at Sid Richardson Scout Ranch in Bridgeport, TX from June 27-30." The headline associated with the article: "Police Explorers Go Commando At SWAT Camp". Sheesh.
