ALL THE NEWS FIT TO PRINT


First of all I finished another book and half way thru another one...Read Case of Lies by Perri O'Shaughnessy, and if I thought the other book was loaded down on facts about dna, this one is stuffed to the fucking gills with info on math,the Riemann Hypthesis, Cramers model, Sarnak, Wiles, and Bump. It is like a foreign language...There were pages and pages of shit on shit.....I could give a roaring rats ass....Peri O'Shaughnessy is a writing team of two sisters and usually I love their books, and this one was a good book but there was more info on calculus that I ever ever ever wanted to know...I didn't like math when I was a kid, and like it even less now...so reading about it in a mystery book was enough to make me want to stab someone in the eye with a sharp #2 pencil. Fuckme till x+y = 69.
Reading Iron Orchard by Stuart Woods and half way through it and not one damn math reference...thank the Goddess. I really like this one....okay..now to the haps in West.
Good news ....the trade days activities will not be lost to West, even though we lost the space(supposed to have been bought by Dollar General, but Robert(long time friend, and old drinking buddy) who is the manager of the Dollar General said they didn't buy it..so wtf???? anyhow we will have the trade days somewhere.
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas Sacred Heart Court 829 are planning a Fat Tuesday luncheon, Feb. 28 at the Lone Star Hall here in West. There is a great picture of 4 ladies in these great feather masks holding up trays of food.

K. B.'s Leroy Tavern is advertising their "The Leroy Mug" for $2..and happy hour from 6-8 Monday-Friday..(the rest of the time you have to get happy on your own time.)
The Wayward Sons are playing At Mynar's Bar. This bar has been open for ever...I used to go in there and play domino's and drink beer with the old farts..I was about 40 and skinny with big tits and I could beat them all the time cause they were so busy looking at my tits....now that I think of it... I may not have been near as good at pool as I thought, they were probably just looking at my tits too.......damn....
The grandaughters Mom has her picture in the paper. She is the historian for the West Chamber of Commerce.
The boys Trojans defeated Little Elm 68-47 in Bi-District....They play Iowa Park Hawks this Friday ..The Lady Trojans won first place in weight lifting...so did the boys...good ole beef fed farm kids.
I get a kick out of the way the grocery stores list their food for sale in the ads...in a row for sale are: soda pop, chips, beer and pizza.
There is a hog hound for sale..Lab mix. Exceptionally happy, good natured and alert.Things you really want in a hog hunter.....da da da du da da da du....ohhhh hog.....wheeeeeee....hahahahahahahahh...
House on Washington street(nice neighbor hood) 1 bd/1 bath..ch/ac on 2 lots for $49,000.great starter home...
Looks like I'm not the only one pissed about the new 4-way stop signs..Jeanette Karlik who wirtes the Thanks for Listening(shouldn't that be thanks for reading?) wrote this week about how upset(she gets upset...I on the other hand get pissed) about the new 4-way stop signs...and what makes me pissed(her upset) is that where they used to have yield signs they put up stop signs......kiss my ass....oh well....progress I suppose......

Now you have to watch out for that population explosion. 8 pounds, I guess everything in Texas is big. :)

I'm glad the teams are called the Trojans there, or else you might have more births...

Nit Wit said...

Don't count on that. Canton Ohio earlier this year had 63 high school girls knocked up and their team was the Trojans. :)
