- I’ve identified one of my major problems with life, I want to police the world. If I’m driving down the road and someone didn’t use their turn signal, I wish I was an undercover cop that could roll down my window and put a siren on top of my car to pull over the offender and write a ticket. Or if I’m in the grocery store parking lot and see someone not properly return their cart, or if I’m at Jason’s Deli and see someone return to the salad bar with a used plate – I want to them to be penalized in some way or write them a demerit. I just gotta learn to chill on some things.
- Speaking of rolling down the window and putting a siren on top of the car, I don’t think that’s done nowadays. I wonder what’s the last television show or movie to include a cop putting a siren on top of their car in which it was still in vogue.
- Nick Offerman will play Ignatius J. Reilly in the off Broadway play A Confederacy of Dunces, which is, of course, based on the book. I don’t think they could have cast it better. Bryan Cranston did a broadway play on LBJ and HBO will be airing a movie version with Cranston as the title character. Here’s hoping HBO will do the same with Offerman.
- This CNN article states the CEO of Playboy has the last name of Flanders. As a longtime fan of ‘The Simpsons’, I find that amusing.
- I saw a story on CBS11 yesterday about some Thanksgiving charity associated with Central Market. I only mention it because included in the footage was the Hardin-Simmons Cowboy band.
- They also had a story about construction on Highway 360 in Arlington which will finally allow you to access it without going through stop lights. About. Damn. Time.
- The password for the media to log onto Wi-Fi at last night’s Republican debate was “StopHillary“.
- What Indiana Jones thinks about the whole Starbucks red cup “controversy”.

- I woke up in the middle of the night and thought WifeGeeding was doing a bit of a Jessica Rabbit bit in her sleep with her hair over her eye.
- The U2 behind the scenes concert special didn’t air last weekend, which was a bummer. Supposedly, it’s still in development, but the live concert is still scheduled to air this weekend.
- Buzzfeed – This Guy Spent Over 25 Years Taking Photos Of Himself With Celebrities As An Art Project – I like this Jack Nicholson story – “I was in LA in 2007 and walked around the back of a restaurant. When I got around the back, which was in a dark lane, I noticed Jack Nicholson having a cigar by himself. We got chatting about various things but he wouldn’t give me a photo as he didn’t have his trademark sunglasses on, but he told me that he liked me and when he was leaving after dinner he would give me a photo with him.” After waiting two hours in front of the restaurant with paparazzi and a group of other fans, Richard was the only one who got a photo with Jack Nicholson that night.”
- The beginning of ‘Scream Queens’ cracked me up last night. Jamie Lee Curtis recreated her mother’s famous shower scene, from what I think, exactly as it happened, and even had a line making fun of the iconic movie. But I really laughed when she called 911, “Welcome to the new 911 automated service, please listen carefully as our menu options have changed.”
- I like how FX has given ‘Fargo’ creative control and the ability to extend episodes past the traditional hour time frame and even wrap up an episode at a non-half-hour timeframe. But then again, it screws with my “schedule”. I also like how the story and characters in this season, based in 1979, are connected to the first season. But I do have a question. How did Governor Reagan know the state trooper served in Vietnam, was it something on his uniform?
