This Blog Is Full Of Crap

A kiosk in the lobby of the Bank Of America building in Downtown Houston:

Isn't technology great?

(At least the art gallery in the West end of the lobby hasn't crashed yet.)

Back when I had a college summer job delivering pizza, one of my deliveries was to Bob Allen.

He tipped generously.

When I worked for KTRK (aka "Stalag 13"), I mentioned this to Bob during a disastrous rollout of a new news system, and he jokingly said "You should have stuck to delivering pizza."

Heh.

Enjoy the next chapter in your life, Bob.

David Brown suggests 10 new names for the Astros.

Here's my ten suggestions:

Houston Disastros (And rename Minutemaid: The Disaster Area)
Houston Suckasstros
Houston Lastros (The move to the AL should guarantee this one for a decade)
Houston We have A Problems (People already say this over and over)
Houston [Winner of the EBay Auction For Today's Naming Rights]
Houston Colt 45's To Our Heads, For The Love Of God, Pull The Trigger Now (Blam!)
Houston Phillies (AAAA Affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, as per Ed Wade's contract)
Houston Medical Center (All the good players end up there anyway)
The Whitney Houstons (I'm sure you can get her to sing the national anthem every day. For crack.)

And finally:

Houston

(Don't bother with a name. They won't be here much longer anyway.)

Bruwyn is still protesting SOPA and PIPA by steadfastly blacking himself out and occupying the bed...

He's such a stubborn baby panther.

Please tell me it was all just a horrible, sick nightmare... please...

*sigh*

MLK = Myst, Little Kitten

If you have the day off, enjoy it. (You bastard.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Cabo, the Mexican restaurant that opened during downtown’s late 90s renaissance, is now closed.

Signs posted on the windows didn’t offer an explanation for the closing and the store’s phone was not being answered. The owner could not be reached this afternoon.

If Kenneally's closes, just put a fucking bullet in my head, okay?

A few years back, I went to town on Senator Orrin Hatch for using unlicensed menu software on his website after threatening to blow up computers with stolen music on them.

Now, someone's busted Lamar Smith for the same kind of thing.

Well done, Jamie Lee Curtis Taete.

He only sleeps 22 hours a day instead of 23.

Lazy baby panther!

Mr. Boo wants to nap.

Let's leave him be.
