Bag of Randomness

  • A good friend brought up a funny moment from our college years.  We were watching one of the Abilene news stations and they had a cute young female reporter (most likely her first job) doing a live shot at the post office on April 15, interviewing people on why they waited so long to do their taxes.  That poor reporter asked a young man in an ACU shirt on why he waited so long to file his taxes and he answered, “A donkey kicked me on the side of the head and I can’t get an erection anymore.”  I got to give that reporter credit, she just kinda nodded her head and moved on to the next person and asked the same question as if nothing happened.  From then on, we use to blurt that line at the most random of times and for some reason finish it off with Samuel L. Jackson’s line from A Time to Kill, “Yes, they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!”
  • Meanwhile, in Oklahoma: Cannon fire strikes Oklahoma couple’s home, enters master bedroom
  • I know so little about soccer and the World Cup.  Heck, I don’t even know how many players are on the field at one time.  Yeah, I know it’s easy to look up, but the point is, I’m ignorant when it comes to that sport.
  • The topic at the black barber shop yesterday was the weird dude that came in for a haircut.  Later in the week they saw the weird dude’s mugshot on the local news, and then joked if you are going to get your mugshot on TV, you might as well have a great haircut.
  • SI.com redesigned their website for the better.
  • While browsing Reddit I came across the question, “What’s the nicest thing a stranger has done for you?” which made me think, what’s the nicest thing I’ve done for a stranger?
  • A tweet from Stephen Colbert that made me stop and think – “Obama at Chipotle? Fifteen years ago I didn’t even know those were words.”
  • Someone’s loaf of bread was accidently cut lengthwise.
  • Boehner Confirms Lawsuit Against Obama for Executive Actions – I actually commend Boehner on this.  If he and his party keep accusing the president of ignoring the Constituion, then they actually should try to do something about it.  What I don’t like is that Boehner would not say which executive action the lawsuit would target specifically, so it makes me think it’s part of mid-term election strategy.  I’m not the only one thinking that, as Neil Cavuto of Fox News got into a heated debate with Michelle Bachmann about it saying it was a waste of time and thought it should have been done years ago instead of now.  It’s actually a pretty entertaining interview, and I’d be surprised if that Wise County lawyer doesn’t have it on his blog this morning.
  • As of late, it seems if you are no longer in power (Dick Cheney) or about to leave Congress (Michelle Bauchmann) then Fox News is no longer gonna be overwhelmingly supportive of you.
  • Buzzfeed: The 43 Most Insane Fox News Moments Of All Time
  • Here’s a movie trailer from Rick Santorum‘s EchoLight Studios about how tough life is for a Christian in the United States.  There’s even a shot of First Baptist Dallas.  As you can probably predict three things happen in the trailer: 1. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” 2. “Not freedom from religion.” 3. Ronald Reagan voiceover.
  • This map was cooler than I thought and I watched it longer than expected as it just kept my attention – Watch cyber attacks in real time.
  • The Mavs never should have let Tyson Chandler go in the first place.
  • Local professional golfer Hunter Mahan is selling his awesome mansion for $9.5 million.
  • Unfortunate local sports news because some things just can’t be unseen- Prince Fielder to pose nude for ESPN the Magazine ‘body issue’
  • In rare move, Dallas police post dash-cam video of officers talking would-be jumper off bridge
  • Corvette Museum Decides to Keep Popular Sinkhole
  • For my readers in Hawaii – Military exercises in Pearl Harbor may impact garage doors
  • Buzzfeed: Disneyland As A Kid Vs. Disneyland As An Adult
  • It seems like no one at ABC World News Tonight really wants to stay in that anchor chair for a long time.  Perhaps the 40-year-old David Muir (he’s single ladies!) will be in the chair for a while.
  • I’ve never seen an episode of Spongebob and have no desire to watch one.

    How to know you might be TOO much of a Disney fan: When you identify more with the "kid" items on that link than the "adult" ones.

    My 6-yr-old discovered Spongebob about 2 weeks ago. He thinks it is the funniest thing he's ever seen. I don't like the show, but I love to hear his laugh while he's watching it.

    How does a gun show get away with firing an actual projectile from a cannon?? I always thought those types of demonstrations were just firing off powder or something, not an actual projectile.

    The new SI.com layout makes my head hurt. Over the course of the last 2-3 years my visits to the site have dropped dramatically, and I'm certain that trend will continue for me.
