• 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.
• Tempting gore pictures of the day: Effects of Sulphuric Acid Ingestion
• If I understand this article correctly, Colorado made so much money off marijuana sales that taxpayers are getting a rebate.
• A Florida man bought a house at auction and then found a decayed body inside.
• Gave me a good laugh – Mark Zuckerberg Personally Responds To Troll About Facebook’s Ebola Donation Feature
• But will there be a second date? – Man robbed of $2 at Arby’s while on first date
• GIF – Watching this kid get fist bumps from hockey players makes me smile.
• Hopefully there will be a Lee Majors cameo – Mark Wahlberg will star as the significantly more expensive ‘Six Billion Dollar Man’
• Speaking of Lee Majors, we need a remake of ‘The Fall Guy’.  I had that lunchbox as a kid.  Oh what the heck, here’s the intro for good measure.  Oh, and Heather Thomas is holding up quite well for a 57-year-old.  I remember my brother having this poster of her back in the Eighties.
• Another show I loved in the Eighties was ‘Airwolf’, but unfortunately Jan-Michael Vincent has not held up well.
• 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.
• Today’s dose of ‘MURICA! – Purdue football is going patriotic with their football helmets

• Navy SEAL who killed bin Laden revealed: Rob O’Neill named as SEAL Team Six hero who shot 9/11 mastermind three times in head – His first interview will be a two-parter with Fox News later this month, and he’s going into the motivational speaking realm.  What ever happened to honoring and upholding this part of the SEAL Ethos/Creed, “I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.”?
• 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 didn’t see it covered on our local news, but several East Texas cities had bomb threats.
• I’m surprised this vanity license plate was approved.
• 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.
• Abilene is hot destination for relocating companies
• Fascinating at least to me – Buzzfeed – 14 Of The Weirdest Places People Voted On Election Day
• A shopping cart with steering handles
• Japan beats Scotland to win world’s best whiskey title‏
• Buzzfeed – This Mom Makes Adorable Costumes For Her Daughter To Wear To Disney World – I check out their Instagram page and I’m really impressed and left wondering how do they have so much time to go to Disney World, Florida residents, maybe?
• Buzzfeed – This Is What Happens When You Ask Your Friends To Print Off Your Boarding Pass – Hint: A towel sized boarding pass.
• Vanilla Ice helped a couple with their baby announcement.
• 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.
• Astronauts Encase A GoPro In A Water Sphere – YouTube
• 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?
