I had no idea these two were getting married. I saw in people magazine that they were dating, but getting married completely shocked me. I thought for sure he was going to be an eternal bachelor. He is so into his career, but I guess sometimes you just never know about people. Who wouldn’t want to marry Kenny Chesney? I mean he is sooooo adorable and boy can he sing. I wonder if he sung “You Had Me From Hello” (which was inspired by Renee) to her at their wedding..hum???

Here’s one of their wedding photos

Congratulations!

OH MY GOD!!!! I couldn’t believe the size of this burger! I just had to post it for others to see.

This burger comes with 10.5 pounds of ground beef, 25 slices of cheese, a head of lettuce, three tomatoes, two onions, a cup-and-a-half each of mayonnaise, relish, ketchup, mustard and banana peppers and a bun.

This burger is served at Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA.

Does this burger come with a side of Tums???

MARY’S MOTHER: “I’m not upset the you lamb followed you to school, Mary, but I would like to know how he got a better grade than you!”

BATMAN’S MOTHER: “It’s a nice car, Bruce, but do you realize how much the insurance will be!”

GOLDILOCK’S MOTHER: “I’ve got a bill here for a busted chair from the bear family. You know anything about this Goldie?”

LITTLE MISS MUFFET’S MOTHER: “Well, all I’ve got to say is if you don’t get of your tuffet and start cleaning your room, there’ll be a lot more spiders around here!”

ALBERT EINSTEIN’S MOTHER: “But, Albert, it’s your senior picture. Can’t you do something about your hair? Styling gel, mousse, something….?”

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S MOTHER: “The next time I catch you throwing money across the Potomac, you can kiss your allowance good-bye!”

JONAH’S MOTHER: “That’s a nice story, but now tell me where you’ve really been for the past 3 days!”

SUPERMAN’S MOTHER: “Clark, your father and I have discussed it, and we’ve decided you can have your own telephone line. Now will you quit spending so much time in all those phone booths!”

THOMAS EDISON’S MOTHER: “Of course I’m proud that you invented the electric light bulb, dear. Now turn off that light and get to bed!”

Saturday night racing Darlington–good luck boys!

One other comment on Talladega–i have been reading the articles regarding the big one. Last week was just gave me another reason not to like Dale Jr. He has said it wasn’t his fault for the wreck, but I beg to differ. It was a combination of things all coming together at the same moment. He was bump drafting M. Wallace which caused Wallace to wiggle at the same time Johnson was coming up the track. All those things plus the close pack racing contributed to the “big one”. No one driver was at fault. Johnson isn’t exactly on my good list at the moment (Phoenix race he hit Tony S.), but you can’t blame everything on him.

I have never been shy about my dislike for Earnhardt Jr. I don’t like the way he handles himself sometimes. I had issues with him (last yr for example) spinning out his car on purpose just because his tire was going down and he needed a caution to come out. Sure he was penalized for it, but it’s a matter of principle. You don’t see Mark Martin or Rusty Wallace doing that. I just get tired of Jr. this, Jr. that. It has been nice of late too see less coverage of Jr. on the prerace shows with the exception of Talladega this past weekend. UGHHH!, but I guess I will just have to deal with it because Jr. is the darling of NASCAR. I do believe he has the potential to be a great driver like his daddy.

I usually don’t comment on some of the bone head ideas at Tech, but this one deserves some space in the trailer park.

TTU is wants to change the official Texas Tech seal.

I personally don’t want to see it changed. I have always abided by the concept “if it ain’t broke..don’t fix it” I don’t understand why Chancellor Smith is trying to change Tech. I understand Tech wants to improve their academic image not only in Texas, but nationwide as well. It feels sometimes the higher ups are always trying to be like Texas or A&M. I don’t want Tech to be like them. That’s what makes our university unique. Our chancellor was quoted as saying “A lot of people had a lot of extra time today,” Smith said. “It was kind of ridiculous.”
I am just appalled by this statement. That comment right there shows he doesn’t give a rat’s butt how the alumni feel.

The cotton bolls were removed from the old seal and in its place what looks to be wheat. I understand there are other agricultural endeavors in this part of the state, but the cotton industry has contributed vastly to Texas Tech. Tech is known around the world with regards to its cotton research. I think the cotton icon should be in the new seal.

And here’s the kicker…it hasn’t been approved as of yet. The TTU Board of regents still have vote on the new seal. I hope the regents take into consideration the number of alumni who do not want the change to happen or table the vote until more input from the community has been surveyed.

If the seal is approved university departments will have to order new letterhead, stationery, etc. Several of the colleges may have to reorder new banners that are used during commencement ceremonies and other functions. This is going to cost quite a bit for the departments all over campus. I know of one who just redesigned their brochure spending hundreds of dollars and now the university is saying change it again…thus costing even more money–money they do not have to spend. What is wrong with this picture?????????

I am not against updating things…Tech did that a few years ago with the Double T. There were some people who didn’t like it first (including me), but this is different. With the Double T you were just bringing it into the 21st century. With this change you are eliminating part of the TTU tradition and heritage.

What a wild ride it was this weekend at Talladega! First the Busch race “big one” taking out several cars and then the Cup race with 25 cars! Talk about the “car”nage. From the replay it looked like both Jimmy Johnson and Dale Jr. were the cuplprits, but that’s Talladega for ya! Luckily Tony was able to stop his car to avoid the mess. It was close at the end, but sometimes paybacks are tough..the last crash of the day took out Jr. and Jimmy. Oh well…Jeff finished first with Tony a close second. CONGRATS everyone and on to night racing at Darlington.

My energy has been zapped by the stupid people of the world this week. I think there was some kind of convention of stupid people in town this week. Every time one of them opened their mouths to speak…something stupid would come out. There were days I felt like I was in a Charlie Brown cartoon. I was speaking, but I only heard the voice of the teacher coming from these people–wah..wah…wah. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Maybe today will be better..TGIF!!!!
