Skattershooting while wondering whatever became of Rudy from the Cosby Show:
 

• Miami Dolphin running back Ricky Williams has cut off his dread locks. Life will never be the same.
• Where do you get a license to fly a blimp?
• Drew Pearson, the former Cowboys receiver who was on The Ticket the other day, said he made $14,500 his rookie year.
• The most amazing thing Pearson said was that when Harvey Martin was a rookie he worked at NorthPark Mall in the off season as a shoe salesman to earn extra money
• I liked 21 Grams but this concept of shooting a film in non-sequential order (i.e. Pulp Fiction, Memento) is getting a little old.
• What percentage of Dallas residents pay their water bill online? That would be 3%
• Tony Dorsett just turned 50.
• The House of Sand and Fog is pretty good.
• I love the way Carole Keeton Strayhorn gives Rick Perry hell
• In a movie, it seems like whenever a person goes to the refrigerator to find some leftovers, there is always a chinese food takeout carton in there.
• The 97 year old woman that was arrested by Highland Park police because she had an outstanding traffic ticket warrant gives rise to an interesting question: Should police be allowed to use their discretion in such a situation? At first blush the answer is "yes" but what criteria should they use in deciding to not execute an arrest warrant? Age? Health? Status in the community? Wealth? Sex? Race?  If the arrest had been of a 22 year old black male in Oak Cliff for the same thing, would anyone care? What's the difference?
• McDonald's CEO died the other day. However, it struck me a bit odd to see the McDonald's in Decatur flying the American flag at half staff
• Remember the two kids that were dumped in the median on Jacksboro Highway. The alleged culprits, Christy Radacy and Sari Muhanna, have jumped bond and are believed to be out of the country.
• Bradley McGehee, 22, was an All State Baseball player at Belton High School. He fell to his death last weekend when he plunged 100 feet over a cliff  overlooking the Brazos River in Waco "when a rock ledge he was sitting on broke." Five days later, another man died in the same manner.
• The chick from the group The Black Eyed Peas (I saw them on VH1 doing that "Hey Mama" song) is hot.
• I have a wife that actually liked Kill Bill Vol. I and Kill Bill Vol. 2.
• Yeah, some people are disappointed in the Dallas Mavericks but how soon we forget that in in 1998 they finished 20-62
• I finally saw Schindler's List the other day. It was very, very good but after years of hearing all the hype, I was expecting more.
• A few years ago you would often hear of Nazi war criminals being caught and put on trial. I suppose that almost all of them, if not all, are now dead.
• It seems that every radio talk show hosts gets their material off The Drudge Report.
• The Nightline episode that simply showed a photo of every serviceman that died in Iraq should be required viewing. I stumbled upon it and couldn't stop watching. The dead are so very young.
• Most business insurance policies have a dollar limit that applies "per occurrence". The lease holder on the World Trade Center had a $3.5 billion policy per occurrence. So, were the two planes flying into the buildings on 9/11 one "occurrence" or two? The jury ruled on October 28th that it was only one occurrence so the leaseholder will collect $3.5 billion and not $7 billion.
• I'm not much of a NASCAR fan but this business of finishing a race under the yellow caution flag (see Jeff Gordon's win last week in Talladega) has got to end.
• It was quite the contrast last week: Former NFL star Pat Tillman, who walked away from millions, is killed in the Afghanistan while Eli Manning told the San Diego Chargers that he wouldn't play for them even if they picked him number one in the draft and showered him with cash.
• "Confident about winning Iowa and New Hamphire next month, Howard Dean is already setting his sights on the rest of the nation" - Headline in Time Magazine from last December
• I can never watch Channel 8 weatherman Troy Dungan and not think about how completely confused he was when the tornado hit downtown Fort Worth four years ago and he was exposed live on the air.
• Roger Clemens, who retired and then quickly unretired to become a Houston Astro, is playing lights out. He is 5-0 with an amazing ERA of 1.95.  Classic Sports recently aired his 20 strike out game against Seattle which occurred in 1986 (that's 18 years ago!).
• You want to see a transcript of what happened on CNN when 9/11 was taking place? See http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0109/11/bn.01.html
• Speaking of NASCAR, do you really think the best drivers are in the sport? I mean, certainly the best basketball players and football players are found because kids play those sports and the cream rises to the top. But who gets to grow up driving a NASCAR?
• The Texas lottery is twelve years old.
• I can't believe the Dallas Cowboys chose Fair Park as their #1 site to build their new stadium. By the way, doesn't Texas Stadium look old?
• The School of Rock was mildly funny.
• Old cliché I hate: "Hey, [generic man], I'd like to introduce you to Bob" "Hi, Bob, I've heard so much about you" To which Bob replies: "It's all lies"
• Other old cliché I hate: Friends who see each other in passing in a restaurant and jokingly ask, "Are you buying?"
• I think it is odd that the Pentagon bans pics of the coffins of dead soldiers returning from the war. Actually the policy was put in place by Bust #1, rescinded by Clinton, and then put back in place by Bush #2
• Did you see that the Southlake police bought two Segway Scooters at $5,000 a piece? Do you think they've got too much money laying around?
• On June 12th, it will be the 10 year anniversary of the murder or Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman
• One of UT’s most famous football games was its win over Nebraska in the first Big 12 Championship game. The key play was a fourth and inches PASS completed by James Brown with 2 ½ minutes left. The game was shown on ESPN Classic the other day and I was stunned to see the two running backs in the backfield on the play that served as decoys were Ricky Williams AND Priest Holmes.
• Priest Holmes, who has turned out to be a great running back in the NFL, was not drafted coming out of college
• Did you see that drum-beating-Ranger-season-ticket-holder “Zonk” has given up his season tickets? He said that he’s 71 years old and the round trip from Richardson for every game had become too much.
• Did you also see the story about the Dallas Assistant DA who was demoted and then was found dead in his apartment. Suicide is suspected but no one knows the reason why.
• The more I watch The Bachelor (yes, I watch The Bachelor) the more I think the whole thing is rigged.
