- My side profile made The Dallas Morning News. It looks like I’m playing on my phone, but actually I’m using my stylus on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to write down notes as I forgot a pen.
- Crystals was a small part of my youth, Bueno was a big part of my college life – Bill Waugh, who founded Taco Bueno, Crystal’s Pizza and Burger Street, died Tuesday in Dallas
- I haven’t heard many good things about The Marvel Experience that’s at Fair Park. Even though there’s favorable reviews on Yelp, from what I hear, some Yelp reviewers had free tickets and were treated to a VIP experience, so it’s a biased review. But I bet the Marvel Universe LIVE! show at the American Airlines Center would be pretty cool.
- I caught the series premiere of ‘Backstrom’ last night. It was okay, and I think it’s a good transition for Rainn Wilson after his time on ‘The Office’.
- Here’s the trailer for Tina Fey’s new Netflix comedy that stars Ellie Kemper from “The Office” and “Bridesmaids”.
- A close up of Will Ferrell hitting that cheerleader with a basketball.
- I can’t believe the Patriots let Brady give a press conference standing in front of a Gillette advertisement with the word “Flexball” behind him. Actually, I can believe it. There was probably some contractual agreement, though I bet a workaround was available. But one thing is for sure, Gillette came out the winner.

America’s best-selling cars and trucks are built on lies: The rise of fake engine noise
Stomp on the gas in a new Ford Mustang or F-150 and you’ll hear a meaty, throaty rumble — the same style of roar that Americans have associated with auto power and performance for decades.
It’s a sham. The engine growl in some of America’s best-selling cars and trucks is actually a finely tuned bit of lip-syncing, boosted through special pipes or digitally faked altogether. And it’s driving car enthusiasts insane.
Fake engine noise has become one of the auto industry’s dirty little secrets, with automakers from BMW to Volkswagen turning to a sound-boosting bag of tricks.

Most folks will probably just stare at the head shot, but I get a kick out how her legs split out and she lands right on her bottom. I hope she had some padding on her booty, because that looks like it would have hurt.
