Yesterday at 6 a.m. a mob of 500 local Einsteins showed up at Town East Mall in Mesquite to be first in line for a limited number of stupid new Air Jordan sneakers ... the “Cool Grey 11,” which sell for $200 a pair. Apparently this didn’t work out very well, because Mesquite police officers and a couple of security guards had to use pepper spray to control the crowd when everybody tried to storm through the main entrance. Merry Christmas from the friendly merchants at Town East Mall.
On Wednesday night another local Einstein crashed his car into a tree on George Bush’s front lawn here in Dallas. The driver was apparently on his way to visit somebody else on the same street, prompting Secret Service spokesman Max Milien to say, “There is no indication that there was any interest in the former president.” (I guess that’s true for the rest of us, too.)
On a totally unrelated subject, I tried another new product from Schwan’s this week ... unbelievably tasteless Green Bean Fries that bake in 12 minutes. I’m not sure what bothers me more about this product: the fact that it had no flavor at all or that people think this is an acceptable way to ruin a perfectly nice vegetable.
Ho ho ho, y’all ... it’s Christmas Eve! We’ve got a 90% chance of rain here in the Dallas area, which is great news if you’re a shrubbery because we’ve been bone dry for the entire month of December. Sam and I don’t mind the rain because we have no hoo-hah holiday plans. We’re staying home to watch movies and eat things. And I’m making homemade focaccia for dinner.
Keep an eye out for our big
NEW YEAR GIVEAWAY ... coming soon to a Howdygram near you. Thank you for reading this.
