- DaughterGeeding has a doll with a toy thermometer. BoyGeeding wanted to play with it but thought it was a rectal thermometer and he attempted to try on himself. So yesterday I have to give a talk about never to put anything up that part of his anatomy.
- We got a soft-opening invite for the new Nebraska Furniture Mart that allows us to go between now and March 18.
- Speaking of furniture, I must see a Cindy Crawford Rooms To Go commercial no less than eight times a day. And here I thought she was overexposed in the Nineties.
- I really like how OU’s president has tackled that frat issue head on. It’s weird how those guys didn’t want black men to be a frat brother but would worship them and plan days and trips around what they do on the football field. S— got real once a recruit backed out.
- OU closes fraternity over racist chants — and African-American chef loses job
- No Spoilers – Jonathan Banks is the actor that plays Mike Ehrmantraut on ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Better Call Saul’, and after watching last night’s episode I want to write a letter to every Emmy voter and tell them why Banks deserves the award and not to bother watching anyone else’s work. Gosh, he was outstanding. Also, I recently found out he was in the movie Airplane! You can catch his four-seconds of glory in this clip starting at the 14-second mark.
- Kevin Spacey was on Letterman last night and he talked about Jack Lemmon, one of his mentors. This quote he attributed to Lemmon tugged the heartstrings a tad, “If you’ve done well in the business you wanted to do well in, then it’s your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down.”
- I knew Elvis wrote a letter to Nixon, but I didn’t know it was on American Airlines stationary.
- Any Democrat that criticized Karl Rove for using his personal email for administration purposes when he worked in the White House but are excusing Hillary Clinton are hypocritical idiots.
- I could appreciate golf more if each swing was treated like a free throw in basketball where the crowd could yell as much as they want, as if noise was an element of the game. I think the Ryder Cup does this. It’s the pretentiousness and all of etiquette of the sport that turns me off.
- I ran across a great football question on Twitter over the weekend – Who will leave the NFL first, Tom Brady or Johnny Manziel?
