Forecast Smakk
The weather guys in DFW are a complete joke. Every night I see some tornado or hail or thunderstorm freakin' warning - and everyday it's the same sunny humid hot time it was like the day before. I went like three weeks without washing my car (well, that and my new fear of breaking down in car washes from those who have read my earlier posts). So now that I've finally given the LRover a bath, I'm sure tomorrow will be torrential downpours all day. Which reminds me the one time they got right last week was when I passed out on the couch and left my damn sun roofs open.
If they're going to keep having weather forecasts like this, why not give a shot at predicting other news events instead of just reporting what's already happened. You could even give odds and make a little sport from it:
Saddam found alive - 50:1
XM satelitte finally profits - 20:1
Mavs win 1 from Sacramento - 10:1
Bush completes speech error free - 5:1
Ben dumps JLo - 3:1
JLo dumps Ben - 2:1
JLo's dump get bigger - even money

Anyway - top five weather flicks:
5. Singing in the Rain
4. Cast Away
3. Plains, Trains & Automobiles
2. Twister
1. The Perfect Storm

The sea was mighty angry that day, my friend...

Sober Smakk
For a unique experience, I am posting tonight while experiencing complete sobriety. Okay - I can't think of anything to say.
Blogging without alcohol is like drinking without a drink. Eating without food. Breathing air without doobie.
Imagine Starsky without Hutch
Laverene without Shirly
Mork without Mindy
Chico without the Man
Sandford without Son
George without Weezy (okay enough TV Land)
Hall without Oates
Simon without Garfunkel (nevermind)
George without Saddam
Bill without Hillary, and Monica
JLO without ass
DrE without dead calf

Oh where are you my friend the bottle....
Top five action "buddy" flicks:
5. Thelma & Louise
4. Midnight Run
3. Men in Black
2. 48 Hours
1. Leathal Weapon

I drink therefore I am...

Maverick Smakk
Dirk and Co. finally closed out the series last night to avoid making history and becoming the first play-off team to blow a 3-0 lead. I've definitely adopted the Mavs as my team since coming to Dallas. I mean the only thing funnier than watching a bunch of small white guys play in the NBA is watching the billionaire idiot of an owner dancing on the sidelines. Cuban is giving Jerry Jones a run for his money in which team owner has the biggest ego. Listening to the Ticket this morning, Jones called in once a couple years ago to bitch at the sports talk guys. Cuban has called in a couple hundred times already. The guys a freak - loaded, but a freak.
