  • WifeGeeding’s book club read Gone Girl and last night she watched the movie with a bunch of female friends.  If I mysteriously die or disappear, please keep this in mind.
  • We can endure it, America, keep your chins up – in a little over a week there campaign ads should no longer be airing.
  • Pat Sajak looks like the kind of man that doesn’t wash his hands after using the restroom, either number one or number two.
  • It bugs me when I see people lose a lot of weight and they just credit it to “I just stopped drinking” or something of the like.  I’m chubby and don’t really have any vices that I can give up to have the pounds drop off.
  • It just feels a bit weird to me that the College Football Playoff poll members all met just five-and-a-half miles from GeedingManor.  Silly thought of the day – The College Football Playoff poll should consist of either a governor or U.S. senator from each state.
  • I bet Tony Romo’s back is fine, it’s just the Cowboys staff thinks they are being smart by trying to confuse Arizona.
  • I haven’t watched much of the World Series, but I saw a touching moment when a Giants outfielder caught the final out of an inning and made the extra effort of jogging over to a little kids in a Royals uniform and but the ball in his glove.  The game was in Kansas City in case you were wondering.
  • While watching Tom and Jerry with the kids, I’m amazed the owners of the house never notice the exceptionally cut mouse hole in the baseboards of the house.
  • I’m sure every geek watching ‘Agents of Shield’ last night really enjoyed seeing Adrianne Palicki in a Star Wars shirt.
  • The Dallas Morning News‘ Business section tweeted, “New rankings show SMU is a better college than Texas, Baylor, A&M” but the link they provided didn’t work.
  • Google BBS Terminal – What Google would have looked like in the 80s
  • Random Phil Collins quote, “”When I got older and became successful, I decided to spend my money on original items from the Alamo rather than on Ferraris.”
  • That man part of that homophobic assault at DFW Airport is from Tennessee and has the middle name of Christmas.
  • The local news stated that the new Nebraska Furniture Mart just started to stock its store and it will take a total of five months to complete that task, with 60 trucks being unloaded nightly.
  • Best line from last night’s ‘Daily Show’ in Austin that came from a parody country song, “When teachers tell kids HOWDY…nearly half of them say hola.”
  • ‘Moses was schizophrenic’: Christian Bale ignites religious row ahead of Exodus movie release by describing prophet as ‘barbaric’
  • ‘Operation’ game inventor can’t afford his own surgery
  • Buzz Aldrin on an actual hoverboard
  • A nice story about Tom Hanks and a taxi cab driver.
  • Time waste of the day: Type a sentence into this website and it will create a video message of your text using various movie clips
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURICA!.

I didn’t realize catcalls were still a thing

A woman walks around NYC and gets harassed by a bunch of men, it’s all recorded on a hidden GoPro by someone walking in front of her.  I wonder if this happens in Texas as we aren’t so concentrated as a population and the culture of being southern gentlemen, that’s not to say we don’t have our fair share of jerks.

  • DaughterGeeding’s first name is Micah.  Yesterday she found out there’s a book in the Bible with her name and came up to WifeGeeding and said, “MOM, did you know I’m in the Bible!”
  • One of my friends watched last night’s game at GeedingManor.  When it was BoyGeeding’s bedtime, he ran up to me for a hug and a peck on the lips.  He then went over to my friend, said, “good night,” and spread his arms wide open for a hug, and my friend obliged.  BoyGeeding then puckered up for a peck, and the look on my friend’s face was priceless as it was full of awkwardness.  You could totally read his mind, “I don’t want to kiss this kid, but if I don’t, I’m really going to hurt his feelings right before bedtime.”  My friend ended up doing the right thing.
  • You don’t often see a head coach go over to an injured player, but Garrett did that when Romo got hurt.
  • Why couldn’t Romo get injured when Jerry was being interviewed, it would have been great to hear him curse on live television.
  • I didn’t think we’d see more shots of Colt McCoy’s parents than Jerry Jones.  And of course the Monday Night crew had to point out the freaking art in the stadium that was put there by Jerry’s wife.
  • When a player gets hurt, they have to travel through a sports bar to get to the locker room.  I guess that’s convenient if you are knocked out for the game as you can get a drink on your way to drown the sorrows.
  • At the start of the game the collar of the Cowboys’ jerseys are white, but towards the end you can see blue stripes.
  • We haven’t seen Jerry on the sidelines in quite a while until last night.
  • I heard Romo yell out “Black.  Elvis” before a snap.  A few players on Twitter pointed out the L in both those words indicate a play, most likely a screen, to the left.
  • All three of Washington’s quarterbacks are devout Christians.
  • Things are going to get a lot tougher for the Cowboys playing the Cardinals next week.
  • I bet he didn’t have to wait an hour in line at Pecan Lodge like the rest of us – Where Alton Brown Ate On His Weekend Jaunt Through Dallas
  • I wonder if Mark Wahlberg is still feeling the good vibrations.
  • Boehner: Bush would have punched Putin in the nose – Yet Bush was able to get a sense of his soul and found him trustworthy.
  • ‘The Daily Show’ started with an aerial view of Austin but set to the music of the ‘Dallas’ television series and ended with the tagline “The Daily Show goes to the one part of Texas where we won’t get shot at.”  Stewart also came out wearing a hazmat suit, which really wasn’t funny and made for an all too much of a Dallas feel for the show, but there was plenty of Dallas bashing going on to appease the Austin folk.
  • Samantha Bee had a good line on how Ebola was handled in Dallas, “Dallas officials tried every Texas solution they could think of.  They shot at Ebola.  They gave it the death penalty.  The prayed for the virus….”
  • Pope says evolution doesn’t mean there’s no God – In an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope explains that God is not some sort of wizard.
  • TCU only plays two football games out of state.
  • A very elderly Jerry Lee Lewis was playing with Paul and band on Letterman last night, but he looked like he was loving every moment of it.
  • I had no idea Aubrey Plaza had a stroke when she was twenty-two.
