All the chit-chat you need for the office or when talking to a carny
Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: I Love You More Than Yo Mama!
- Happy Mardi Gras: Yes, it’s Fat Tuesday, which sounds way cooler than Super Tuesday. Remember, Lent starts at Midnight, which means I get to tackle my New Year’s Resolutions one more time. And hopefully, I will not be have to show my man-boobs in order to get beads.
- Super Tuesday: Setting the tone for a a really depressing Ash Wednesday. Pundits have all but given the sticks to Hillary Clinton and John McCain, or as I like to call them, Liberal and Liberaler.
- Dick Rice: I have been to Burger King in Tupelo four times in a year and I have seen WTVA Meteorologist (Weather Man as we call him in Amory) each time. It seems that last night he drew the shortest straw and was sent to pick up dinner for everyone at the station. With my friend Brian Owings long since retired from WCBI, this makes Dick Rice and Dave Brown THE rockstar Weather Men in North Mississippi. Let’s hope that WTVA keeps Rice until he chooses to leave, unlike what happened to Mr. Brian and my dear friend , the late Dennis Hudson, at WCBI. Perhaps we will exchange pleasantries with one another next time instead of giving each other the “stank eye” or “the facial bird”…..
- Stephen King Duma Key: Finally, I’m excited about a Stephen King book again, and it takes place in the Gulf.
- Arrested Development: According to series star Jeffrey Tambor, the Bluth family is headed to the big screen. Yes! A TV-show movie that I’m actually excited about. The upcoming Speed Racer movie? Eh, not so much…
- Judge Mike Mills: My former Aberdeen neighbor tries to stop the Dickie Scruggs shenanigans by insisting that he face his deposition in State Farm VS Miss. Attorney General Jimmy Hood. Mike’s a noted blues fan, also.
Bobby Knight Resigns From Texas: Remember when we were entertained with Coach Knight’s yelling and screaming and cursing? Wait–that was John McEnroe and Whitney Houston. Yeah, it’s probably time for Knight to call it a day.- Gone Country (CMT): Bobyy Brown, Carnie Wilson, Sisquo and others try their luck in the country arena under the watchful eye of the Nashville Mafia. Bobby Brown was passed-out drunk by the second episode and Maureen McCormick was smoking and drinking in another desperate attempt to shed her image as Marcia Brady.
- Across The Universe: The Beatles-themed musical drops on DVD today. For a list of other titles being released today, go here.
- Tupelo-Lee Humane Society: Dixie, Ashley, Dottie and the gang are looking for new homes. Check them out here.
- Fats Domino: He’s my favorite New Orleans musician. He’s also a Katrina survivor and a National Treasure. In honor of Mardi Gras, here’s Fats! Le Bon Temps Roule!

1. First, I have to say, Bluebell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. I try keep it down to one heaping bowl full a week since it's full of saturated fats and I'm a 43 year old trying to keep up the image of a front man. BUT, sometimes I'm weak and I backslide.
2. My Six Million Dollar Man Pinball machine. I finally got it fixed and have been playing it a lot. My 4 year old is learning how to play it so we get to play it together.
3. Saturday mornings, I get up and watch Kay Bain. I've been a loyal WTVA viewer for many years but I get a little upset because they've cut Kay down to just being on once a week. I love Kay Bain. You know, my coffee just tastes better with Kay Bain.
4. I've recently thrown out my old socks. I went to Wal-mart and bought a 12-pack of brand new white socks. I got them all for about eight bucks so I've been really happy about that.
5. My 14 year old daughter, Kit has become a facination. I've always been all about my daughter but now she's coming out with this Aretha Franklin style, powerful voice and I've just been amazed. I love listening to her sing. -

Thanks for the link to the TLHS website. We have a Valentine’s Day special right now — for only $60, folks can get the dog or cat of their choice, a Valentine’s Day card, and Valentine candy. Of course, the pet will come with a Valentine ribbon on its neck, will be spayed or neutered, will have had its first set of shots, and will have been dewormed. What a deal and what a great gift for your sweetheart! Save a life and give a great present!

Yep. Dennis died on Nov. 6, 2005 at the age of 62. He was like a father to me.
