Bag of Randomness

  • Yesterday I had lunch with a gay pagan priest who passed out, threw up, and whom I had to drive home.
  • A little context to that last sentence . . . Two of my former coworkers have just landed contracting gigs at my current place of employment and wanted to do lunch.  One them is a female, and the other is a guy that just happens to be Wiccan priest who is happens to be gay.
  • All through lunch he wasn’t feeling well, clammy is how he described it, and towards the end he left the table early to catch some fresh air.  While he was sitting on some patio furniture where the outside dining is set up, he passed out as our other coworker arrived, and when he came to he vomited on the table and his leg.
  • Lucky me, I drove all of us to lunch.
  • As he got his bearings, I volunteered to drive him home.  I just didn’t know that I would be driving from the middle of Dallas to Fort Worth.
  • Yesterday on The Ticket they mentioned in the history of  the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament that the state of Texas has sent a total of 23 teams – more than any other state and only one championship to show for it, Texas Western, which is now UTEP.  I was surprised to hear that little ol’ Hardin-Simmons has even make the tourney, and even more surprised that someone from The Ticket actually went there, that someone being Jerr, but I don’t know his full name or when he attended.
  • I looked at the HSU media guide and couldn’t find when they made the tourney, but did find a picture of a former roommate on page 26.
  • However, I looked at AllBrackets.com and discovered that HSU was eliminated in the first round to Santa Clara in 1953 and also eliminated to Idaho State in 1957.
  • HSU’s current president was the president when I attended.  He left, came back as chancellor, and then accepted the president role again somewhat recently.  I find it amazing that he’s a Democrat in that atmosphere.  Well, at least he was a Democrat when he served in the Texas House of Representatives.
  • I remember once being ticked-off at the president when I was a student, so much so I wrote him a very stern letter.  The next day I got a call from his office and asked if I could come in for a meeting with him.  At that point, I was beyond terrified, but when we met he treated me with grace and respect.
  • From the media guide I also learned that total enrollment is 2,435 (1,997 undergraduate, 438 graduate) and that the student to teacher ration is 13:1.
  • I love using keyboard shortcuts.
  • I just met a guy whose real name is Gotham.
  • I think I have only seen one Cher move – Mask.
  • Yesterday was soooo busy I didn’t even have enough time to squeeze in LOST.

U2 call rural craftsman to repair broken Grammy

A rural craftsman was amazed when international rock stars U2 phoned him and asked him to repair their broken Grammy award.

The trophy – awarded for the band’s 1987 album The Joshua Tree – had split into three pieces including the gramophone horn.

So the band’s managers simply searched “trophy craftsmen” online and found Stuart Allcock, who runs a small shop in Taunton, Somerset.

Mr Allcock said he felt ”dizzy” to receive the call but was disappointed to discover the award was made of cheap cast iron that was sprayed gold.
