It’s been fun listening to The TICKET talked to radio hosts in England and New Zealand, and both of them doing each other’s accent and judging them.
It seems like Bill Simmons is the younger version of Keith Olbermann as he keeps rocking the boat at ESPN, which I think is actually a good thing.
Just by looking at her, you can tell that one of our neighbors is in really great shape, but I had no idea she actually came in second and third in previous Dallas Marathons. It’s kind of surprising because she’s so top heavy you wouldn’t think she be be a long distance runner – she’s gotta have back problems.
Here’s a letter former President George H.W. Bush wrote to a friend after 9/11 talking about the advice he gave his son. It really is a touching and informative read. I cracked a smile when I saw he used the word “prudent”. If you don’t get that reference, then you aren’t familiar with Dana Carvey’s impression of him on SNL.
Former President George W. Bush’s latest book is about his father and will go on sale next week. On one hand, I’m touched by the love they have for one another, but the cynic in me can’t help but think that this is also a way to soften up the Bush family image to clear the way for Jeb’s eventual presidential campaign. In that link I provided, it states that Bush 41 has never written a memoir, which surprised me.
It seem like the AT&T U-Verse Cable Coma Twin Sister commercial airs non stop. (1.) It cracks me up everyone has a speaking part but the nurse. (2.) The girl that plays the twin sisters looks much better and younger as a redhead.
OtherDogGeeding has been extremely attached to me as of late. I’m guessing he senses something is wrong with me or something is wrong with him.
Dressing up as Snow White won me a hundred bucks as it won my office costume contest. We had until the end of Monday to send in our pictures, the end of Tuesday to cast our votes, and the results were announced yesterday – in case you are wondering why it took me until Thursday to mention a Halloween post.
I ran into Bob Sturm at our the grocery store a little less than two hours before he was set to be on air. The last time I saw him was when I was at the radio station as a guest of Sean Bass, and Bob looks like he’s in really great shape.
Norm think that Dirk will outlast Romo – I think he’s right.
One kid has an viral infection and the other kid has an ear infection.
While at the doctor’s office I struck up a conversation with a Wal-Mart employee and who works in the returns department. She mostly told me about the amount of Halloween candy that is returned, which is surprising to me.
A University of Texas defensive football player tweeted he was tired of a class, the defensive coordinator decided to reply telling him he needs to get an A.
The Wall Street Journal had a story about an 18-year-old female West Virginia University freshman who was just elected as the country’s youngest state lawmaker. That’s quite an accomplishment, although the paper failed to mention that her father is already a state senator, which certainly takes away from the story.
If ISIS is really trying to sneak into Texas through the Mexican border, I’d like to see the drug cartels get involved with them stepping on their turf.
A few weeks ago I learned that Wikipedia provides the demonym (term for the residents of a locality) for major cities. Just look up the city and you should see it in the right sidebar. Residents in Dallas are called Dallasites, Fort Worth residents are called Fort Worthians, and the fine folks in Juneau are called Juneauites.

I saw a new Pace Picante “New York City?!” commercial last night and it made me look up their Wikipedia page. Pace Foods is located in Paris, Texas but was sold to Cambell’s in 1995. Cambell’s is headquartered in New Jersey . . . so perhaps it’s now a Jersey based picante sauce?
If you are curious about the order of candidates on your state’s voting ballot, here’s a good source. In Texas, is the order of votes for party (governor) in the previous election. In Oklahoma, it’s drawn by lot in each county. In Idaho, is their Secretary of State’s discretion.
BoyGeeding found my wireless keyboard and decided to turn it into a key-less device. I had to look up the product online to make sure I got rarely used keys (like Pause and Insert) back in the same place.
Texas has its first newly elected governor of the century.
The Discovery Channel has some original programing with a show called Eaten Alive – . . . naturalist and wildlife filmmaker Paul Rosolie enters the belly of an anaconda in a custom-built snake-proof suit.
Facepalm – @AllergyKidsDoc – Parent “I want #Ebola vaccine for my child” Doc “There isn’t one, but we have #flushot” Parent “We don’t believe in that”
Brittany Maynard was the woman in the news with terminal brain cancer that moved to Oregon to take advantage of their Death With Dignity law, and she helped lead the campaigned for assisted suicide or death with dignity or whatever you want to label it. I think her campaigned was stymied with the majority of her pictures showcasing her as young and attractive, looking nowhere near death. I know she did some video interviews where she didn’t look as strong, but I bet most people only know her from her healthy pictures which caused many to think she was calling it quits way too early.
Speaking of that magazine, here’s a list they compiled of bands that have had no breaks ups, no lineup changes, no hiatuses, etc. U2 and Radio Head leads the pack.
