  • Man, weird local news yesterday with a Whataburger employee refusing to serve cops and the arrest of a ninth grader who was arrested for making a digital clock. Oh, and then a 73-year-old-man was shot in a road rage incident.
  • Since we’re on the topic of high school made bombs, I found this old article on Reddit:
  • A decent question I heard about the mistaken clock, if there was a concern of a bomb on campus, shouldn’t there have been a lockdown at the school?
  • The true winner of last night’s debate was Ronald Reagan.
  • Buzzfeed has an article about a boy with a prosthetic eye that no longer wants to wear it because of a rapper that also has a prosthetic eye but chooses not to wear it as a way of being proud of their body. WifeGeeding often tells me it’s very uncomfortable not to wear her prosthetic eye and prefers to always have it in. So in case you were wondering, she wears it as she sleeps.
  • CBS11 sports started off by stating it was dollar night at the Rangers game, “limit five per person.”
  • Carol Burnett was on Colbert last night to promote a DVD of her old show.  I’d love to see her do an SNL.  She’s 82 in case you’re wondering, and she’s a Texan as she was born in San Antonio.
  • Kevin Spacey was also on Colbert and talked about his mentor, Jack Lemmon.  He stated Lemmon was born in an elevator.  Since I couldn’t tell if he was joking, I looked it up, and he actually was born in an elevator.  Tidbit: Lemmon’s headstone simply reads “Jack Lemon in“.
  • Most of the time I end my emails with “Keither”.  One of my first managers told me to stop doing that because that’s how her ex-husband ended his emails and she didnt’ want to compare me to such a scoundrel.
  • Dallas Morning News – 10 reasons why Dallas is way better than Houston
  • Dallas Morning News Opinion Blog – Why is it so hard to get justice in the small-town courtrooms of East Texas?
  • Something for the folks in LA, NYC, and Chicago – Convenience store chain 7-Eleven announced its new delivery service includes an offered $20 “Date Night Pack” containing ice cream, candy, Red Bull and condoms.
  • I wonder if he’s happy or disappointed with Benjamin Kyle after searching for 11 years – Man with no name finally knows real identity ‘Benjamin Kyle’
  • Toasted Coconut Oreo Cookies?
  • io9 – Does Canned Food Ever Really Go Bad?
  • New roller coaster in Ohio will shatter 10 world records
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!
  • Buzzfeed – How Well Do You Know Disneyland Rides?
  • I’d like to extend my sincere condolences to Barry Green and his family over the loss of his mother.  It doesn’t matter what age you lose your mother, you’ll always be her little boy.  Thankfully he turned his comments off regarding the news of his mother.  His readers can be vile, even if they are doing some sort of bit.  I hope he takes some time away from his blog for a bit.  In the meantime for our like readers, the pic above is my contribution for a Random Thoughts Girl.
  • If you need something to make you smile this morning, here you go.
  • GIF – Dog “saves” girl from drowning (notice the hair pull at the end)
