G.R.i.D. (Get Rich in Dallas)

I’ll link to his profile but won’t post his vids. See, Dallasinblue films half-minute streetfights with titles like

• black guys jump a group of white people
• 2 black guys fightin
• fat white boy gets jumped.

You get the idea. The thing is, I can’t clarify a few things. First, are these fights being “staged” to be filmed? Second, are these happening on campus or nearby? One kid who likes to fight without his shirt seems to be prevalent in the three vids I’ve seen of about six.

I don’t like seeing fights. Especially among kids. Especially among dumb kids who like to fight. These vids aren’t necessarily disturbing but perhaps troubling. Ambushes are just weak and cowardly and Dallasinblue seems to enjoy filming these people (his friends?) jumping other people. Thus, that’s why I won’t put a vid on here. Probably doesn’t help that I’m linking to him because I don’t necessarily want to perpetuate anything but a slight hope is that the right person will see it and put an end to it.

Shelby Lee Knight-Lacey told investigators “she had been arguing with her husband about money and made up the whole story to get sympathy,” Mesquite police said in a news release.

Gosh I hate people like this. In fact, I think she’s going in my new tag. Investigators are charging her with false reporting. At which point, when they decide on her punishment, might I recommend, oh, I don’t know…a cattle prod?

Shelby Lee Knight-Lacey, you’re pathetic scum.

YOU, my Panera friend, are the first of PEOPLE WHO GET ON MY NERVES!

So, some meat got stolen. 15,000 pounds of it. Yeah. The truck is recovered, some meat is gone and now health peeps are launching a search for people who may have bought the (stolen?) beef because it’s tainted with E. coli.

What made me throw up is the fact that the article says Chicken Shack over on Lamar “unknowingly purchased the contaminated beef from someone within the past few days.” Unknowingly? Someone?? Who does business like that? Fortunately, they said they hadn’t opened and sold any of the meat.

In the meantime, don’t buy meat from “someone” labled EST. 13116.” If you did, well, yer an idiot and you should just throw it out now.

Thankfully, my phone was handy. As I got it ready, I think he may have figured what I was doing and started zooming away. I was able to snap this shot.

I think we should thank Ceballos for bringing to the forefront the tragedy of Sharpie brows. Remember, pens and markers are for writing. Although, not fake letters to win contests.

A six-year old girl won tickets to a Hannah Montana concert by entering an essay contest sponsored by Club Libby Lu. Cute, right? And how could she lose if her opening line was “My daddy died this year in Iraq.”

Unbeatable.

But it wasn’t so cute when people found out that it was all a lie. And then it was like “dannnnnng!”

Yesterday, store officials hooked the girl up with a Montana makeover and tickets and airfare to the concert next month in New York. But after some research by NBC, no name of Sgt. Jonathon Menjivar had come up at all in a catalog of troops overseas. Oh snaps! The name was given by cheater chick’s mom, Priscilla Ceballos, who later admitted that, “We did whatever we could do to win” after having her daughter say that pops was killed in a roadside explosion.

“We regret that the original intent of the contest, which was to make a little girl’s holiday extra special, has not been realized in the way we anticipated,” said Mary Drolet, the CEO of Club Libby Lu. (quote from Yahoo News).

They regretted it so much they snatched those tix away after careful consideration and awarded it to another winner. Apparently the new winner’s mother is a survivor of 9/11.

OK, that was a joke. If only Lynne Spears’ parenting book had been released, Ceballos might have made a better decision. Or be a grandmother.

By the way, that store looks like the most annoying place on Earth.

In at the last second. Mother- ______ of the Year 2007.

OK, so the latest is, I pay a hundred bucks that’s nonrefundable for a chance (A CHANCE) at buying season tickets in 2009. Um, what?

According to the DMN, the idea is to help pay off the escalating costs of the stadium that have now hit $1.1 billiion. I’m all for a tricked out new stadium and I’m all for spending the dough on it but this idea has to be the dumbest thing ever. Could I maybe get a jersey out of it? Some freaking Cowboy coffee mugs or a knit cap?

But VP of S&M, Greg McElroy saysthat online forms will let the misled specify where they want to sit. That is, IF they make the cut.

Thank goodness for HDTV. Why go when you can just bust in on yer friend’s 60″ High Def screen and have cheap pizza and beer and no parking troubles either?

I’m thrilled and yet deflated. They thought I was a girl. :-

So in getting back into the spirit of things, I’m recalling last week’s incident where I was at the odd intersection of Oak Lawn @ Congress. It’s an odd streetlight because Congress is rather minor. My light turns green, I’m on Congress turning left on eastbound Oak Lawn. Well, this little maroon Altima decided that the red light didn’t apply to her at all. Coming from my right, she barreled on through. What’s worse is she didn’t even change speed. She must have not seen it somehow but I figure the car pulling out opposite me and swerving to get out of her way would be a slight indication. Apparently not.

My only regret is that darn license plate got a lot of sun on it. Can barely make out the whole tag. I do know it’s 45?-RB? at least. That’s enough for me.

Thanks Park Cities peeps! (wow, never thought I’d say that out loud)
