Friday's Dispatch

Kangaroos seems an odd name for a mascot for a North Texas school.

The goober who tossed this trash in the water  he had been catching fish from which he would then eat had to pass a trash can to get back to his car, no matter which route he chose to walk. It literally may have taken more energy to throw it in the lake than carry it the 20-30 feet to a trash can.

Dad, I'm gonna make a body armor suit of wood- do you think that would work?

• Her rear end looks like two Wal Mart sacks full of hammers and cottage cheese.- a very uncharitable but slightly funny description I gave a friend regarding a formerly very hot mutual acquaintance who had changed a lot since he last saw her.
• Really, that was wrong.
• It has come out that the operation by ATF to allow purchases of weapons here in the US to ostensibly track them to high level weapons smugglers in Mexico led to the death of a US Border Patrol officer by one of the guns. Other guns have been involved in 150 shootings in Mexico.
• Sometimes an idea should just sound so bad it should never happen.
• The above was an obviously old draft. I'm sure something good has come out of that operation by now.
• Ha, I know, know it is impossible anything good could have come from such an imbecilic idea- I'm kidding.
• People refer in private, on TV and on the Internet to Adele as being hot. This is sometimes in the context of her being a larger gal. There is an interesting sociological lesson in there somewhere- she is cute enough I suppose in flattering light and poses and with what you can bet is professionally applied make up but she isn't hot. He stardom factor or legitimate talent affects peoples perception. Maybe they think that is how they think they're supposed to see her.
• Two of my friends in the past the past thought it was cool their parents were swingers.
• A lady I worked with mentioned in a conversation in her younger years she had stabbed an at the time husband. When somebody recoiled in horror and asked, Did you kill him? she replied, No, but it wasn't for lack of trying- I stabbed him 5 times. Some people acted like she scared them after that. I didn't get that- you knew what you were dealing regarding her and anyway, it seemed to me as long as you didn't marry her you would probably be OK.
