BREAKING NEWS: Bridgeport House Fire (Updated)

House fire at 15th & Stevens behind IGA.

Units from Bridgeport and Decatur responded. It doesn't look like much from the pics, but trust me it was going big time when the first units arrived around 1:30pm. Lots of thick smoke was billowing out of the doors. I was sure the house was going to burn to the ground.

Great job on getting it under control.

翻訳で失われる

For the last few months I have been getting strange comments in Japanese from what I can only assume is some sort of bot. I've blocked them for security concerns, but I do have to admit they are off the wall or very lost in translation.

I'm Jealous

Good luck finding an empty seat today!

I talked to an old friend I hadn't seen in a while yesterday. He has tickets to today's TCU game.

He got a funny look when I asked him if he had them on him...

This is the biggest game played at Amon Carter in my lifetime and I have to work. I can't even begin to imagine what Frog Alley will be like with ESPN's College Gameday broadcasting from Ft.Worth for the first time in the history of ever.

Unless the wheels go completely flying off the Battlefrog, TCU should manhandle the #16 Utah Utes and keep a deathgrip on 4th in the BCS.

Did you say Utes?

Last year Utah busted out some all black uniforms against TCU. The Frogs (and Nike) decided to repay the favor.

Check out the badass new Nike Pro Combat Gear uniforms The Frogs will be wearing.

The pants are dark gray with purple and black stripes down the side. The pattern on the pants is supposed to be the skin of the horned frog. The red stripe on the helmet represents the blood that shoots from a horned frog’s eyes when under attack.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea to swap uniforms during a streak. But it's what's on the inside that counts and this team has it. Coach Patterson is going to unleash the hounds to make sure there is no BCS doubt about The Frogs being for real.

GO FROGS!!!!!!!!

One For The Ladies

In the interest of blatantly pandering the blog fair and balanced blogging, here's something for the fairer sex to admire.

I hope you girls appreciate this. It kinda creeped me out looking for a pic.

The Morons Will Never Notice

I know this was already posted over at The Mothership, but I feel compelled to post it here as well. I watched this last night and honestly couldn't believe what I saw. Do they really think you are that stupid? Apparently the answer is yes. FOX News is Yellow Journalism in the worst possible sense of the term.

I don't know if you've ever seen Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd starring Andy Griffith, but it nails FOX News squarely on the head 40 years before they were on the air. Network would be a close second.

If it sounds like exactly what you want to hear, it's probably not the truth.

Veteran's Day

If you know a Vet, thank them for their service.

• According to a Tweet by Joe Perry, "aerosmith is positivly looking for a new singer to work with". Has Steven Tyler's broken shoulder, broken his desire?
• Mark Cuban is interested in buying the LA Dodgers. Too bad there's not a local team that desperately needs a new owner.
• Uh, What's up Doc?
• Looks like there's a Jennifer Lopez sex tape. And it's 11 hours long!
• Remember Lisa Nowak, the diaper wearing, cross country driving, kidnap plotting, crazy exgirlfriend astronaut? She faced up to a life sentence on the attempted kidnapping, but just copped a plea for 1 year probation.

I Need A Few Days Off To Recover

Whew! I made it safely home from Texas Motor Speedway. XRV-1 ran beautifully. There were a few minor hiccups, but it was mission accomplished. Thank goodness I have a couple days of vacation left to recover from vacation.

The racing Friday and Saturday could have been better. Kyle Bush ran away with both the Truck and Nationwide races. It was mostly single file points racing in both events. Kyle Bush had a chance to have a record making Hat Trick weekend. Winning the Truck, Nationwide and Cup Series on the same weekend has never happened. On Sunday he had the car to do it with, too. He led the most laps and almost pulled it off. But, there's a reason it's never been done. It's insanely hard to do.

The Cup race was non-stop drama from the green flag.

I told everyone sitting next to me that we needed Jimmy Johnson to wreck in Turn 2 of lap 1 or the Championship was a done deal. I missed it by 2 laps! Sorry, Unattainable. But, with his wreck and Mark Martin's 4th place finish, the remaining races just got very interesting. A huge Tip of the Hat to Chad Knaus, his pit crew and the entire Hendrick Racing organization for getting Jimmie back on the track and gaining 14 valuable points. They basicly rebuilt the racecar and made it competitive in a little over an hour.

Speaking of interesting, one of my neighbors is a genius. He designed a portable stripper pole for his Kawasaki Mule. Back my minitruck up to it and you have an instant stage! I've already come up with a design to bolt one onto the bed of my Suzuki.

You have to keep up with The Joneses!

Apparently, great minds think alike. Barnacle came up with the same idea several months ago. I swear I wasn't involved in any industrial espionage conspiracy.

I need a better camera, but here's a couple cellphone videos from the TMS campgrounds on Friday and Saturday night with said portable pole in action. I kept them R rated for here, but I DO have much more unrated racegirls gone wild video!

Tilt your head for this one.
