Canine Corner: Valentino

  This handsome guy is Valentino. He's a special boy who was abandoned at the Dallas shelter when his previous owner realized he was deaf. (Sidenote: Some people suck.) Valentino has never let his disability slow him down. He completed basic obedience training, and he now knows sign language! He proved to be a fast learner, having mastered 23 hand signals in only five weeks.

  Valentino lost his left eye in a freak accident while he was playing. He's still just as cheerful as ever! He gets along great with his foster pup siblings, and he loves cuddling with humans too. This Australian Cattle dog is 10 months old. He's already neutered and current on his shots. He's also housebroken and crate-trained. Valentino will make someone's family very happy. Might it be yours?

Canine Corner: Ally

  Ally is between one and two years old, and she weighs 55 pounds. She's a peaceful Pit Bull mix who gets along great with other dogs and cats too! She takes daily medication for an enlarged heart, but she's very healthy otherwise and the cost is minimal (about $10/month).

  Ally loves going for car rides, and she would make a great addition to your family! Ally is spayed and up-to-date on all shots. She's also housebroken so you won't have to worry about any accidents. She's even crate-trained if you'd prefer to put her in her kennel while you're away. She's a sweet dog who needs a home. Could it be yours?

Syb's End: 11.20.13

  Howdy. Since Richie's been mailing it in lately, and I just so happen to have a little extra time on my hands, I decided to jump into the DFWSportatorium driver's seat. So grab a coffee/beer/joint, and let's go reading!

  *Ever heard the saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"? That's how I feel about George Zimmerman. To date, he's had multiple domestic violence issues with an ex-fiancee, his estranged wife and current girlfriend. His most recent tangle landed him in jail, where his soon-to-be ex served him with divorce papers. He's out now with an ankle monitor and a restraining order from his current ladyfriend. You would think a guy who got away with murder would settle down and carry out the rest of his days as a law-abiding citizen, cautious not to ruffle any feathers...right, OJ?

 *The old "Are NASCAR drivers athletes?" debate again rears its ugly head. This time it was in the Twitter court room of country superstar Blake Shelton and noted NASCAR writer Jeff Gluck. It started with Gluck's tweet, "I don't think all #NASCAR drivers are athletes, sorry. But Jimmie is." Shelton (longtime friend of driver Clint Bowyer and others) responded, "Just like not all writers have credibility, sorry..." Said Gluck: "...so if I bought myself a ride in NASCAR, would you guys suddenly say I'm an athlete? C'mon. Just because I buy a guitar doesn't make me a musician." To which BS replied,"Hey @jeff_gluck.. It's over. You lost. Move on." Hate to admit it, but I'm gonna side with the NASCAR expert on this one.

  *Congratulations to hometown girl Kelly Clarkson! She's looked pregnant for years, and now she finally is.

  *The 15-year-old in me can't wait to see Hunger Games: Catching Fire this weekend. I read the books and dragged Richie to last year's trilogy opener. If you too wanna get in the spirit, check out Lorde's remake of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", which is featured on the soundtrack. Her haunting rendition is sure to stimulate your senses.

  *Tim Duncan's new sidepiece is a Texas native, which might explain why she rocks Spurs and Rangers gear. Question for you sports purists: Is this allowed? Since San Antonio doesn't have an MLB team, can she borrow ours? Or is that unstable? I think chicks have an advantage when it comes to team allegiance because we can root for whomever and justify it with girl logic. ("My boyfriend is from there", "It's in the same state", "Their QB is hot.") Either way, Vanessa Macias looks good doing it.

  *If you plan to do any holiday shopping on the interwebs this year, might I introduce you to Adopt A Shelter? It's a legit website that allows you to buy from major retailers who sponsor animal charity groups. For example, you go to Adopt A Shelter, search for DFW Rescue Me, and a portion of your proceeds will be donated to DFWRM. It's a free service, and they're linked to big name sites- Amazon, Target, Old Navy, eBay, etc. So please help some local dogs this season with a simple click.

  *Hot.

  *Not.

  *This picture of metroplex voices makes me smile. Hard to fathom they've got a combined 119 years of DFW game-calling between the four of 'em.

  *Exciting news for OutKast fans, Andre 3000 and Big Boi are rumored to have a so fresh, so clean reunion at next year's Coachella festival. BRB while I search for airline tickets to California.

  *While we're talking hip-hop, I've always supported Kanye West's music. I think he's talented in the studio, and he creates outside-the-box tracks. But I can't stand hearing him preach every time he's handed a microphone. From the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser to his BBC interview this year to earlier this week in Philly. He was responding to the 2009 caught-on-tape moment when President Obama called him a "jackass", but that was soooo four years ago. How can you say you're over something if you're still talking about it, Yeezy?

  *Just a few days away from the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, and the City of Dallas decides to remove the infamous "X" that marked the spot. They say it's due to road construction, but it sure smells of something more. Cue the conspiracy theorists in 3...2...1...

  *Have you seen this Foot Locker ad yet? It's billed as the sale that can "right the world's wrongs". Cameos include Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Dennis Rodman, Brett Favre and more. Can't imagine how much it cost to get all those athletes! Do yourself a favor and give it a looksie.

      

  *If you missed this week's Canine Corner post, please check out Mack. He's an adorable, young hound looking for a new home. Might it be yours?

  *What do you get when you mix a can of beans, a gun in your pants and Walmart together? This.

  *Recognize this guy? It's what PhoJoe guesstimates 78-year-old Elvis Presley would look like were he alive today. They also mocked up Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, John Lennon and others.

  *This story gets more and more bizarre as each detail emerges. It begins with a Flower Mound cop who went missing after running a marathon in San Antonio on Sunday. He didn't return home Monday, and he hadn't reported to work on Tuesday. So Flower Mound PD sent officers to San Antonio to search for Jeremy Varnell. Turns out, he was holed up in a Florida hotel room with a man he met online a month prior to his disappearance. He's perfectly healthy, he just wanted to "start over" in life. Methinks the adult thing to do would be to notify your family, friends and employer that you're moving to another state, but those of us rational thinkers know many people don't think rationally.

  *Need some extra dough for Christmas gifts this year? 103.7 KVIL is giving away $1000 cash four times each day starting December 2nd. You can (and should) enter here.

  *Today? I'll hop on with former Dallas Cowboy Tony Casillas and his partner play-by-play man Dave Garrett's radio show in OKC to do my weekly entertainment report at 4:40pm. Then I'll head to Boots & Babes at Blue Martini in Plano tonight 9-11pm. Don't be a stranger.

SYB'S END: 10.24.13

*Howdy. Since Richie’s been mailing it in this week, and I just so happen to have a little extra time on my hands these days, I decided to jump in the Sportatorium driver’s seat. So grab a coffee/beer/joint and let’s go reading!

*Game 1 of the World Series was last night, as was Duck Dynasty. I don’t have a vested interest in either one so I spend time pondering more important matters…like whose beard would win in a fight?

*I’m usually a fan of playoff songs to support your favorite team, but who thought this was a good idea? She sounds nothing like Lorde, and the commenters on this here blog could undoubtedly write funnier lyrics. Besides, if this is what we’re missing out on by “never being Cardinals”, I’ll take it.

*In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. The dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the “Special Victim’s Unit”. These are their stories. In related news, who knew Olivia Benson was hanging out at Budget Suites in The Colony?

*Looks like Pauly D’s definitely DTF. Down to Father. The Jersey Shore alum knocked up a former Hooters waitress in Vegas, and now they’re battling over custody. His babymama ain’t bad-looking either. Wouldn’t it be great if his daughter Amabella dated Snooki’s son Lorenzo? Oh, I’m the only one who thinks that’s cool? Alright then, I’ll just sit back down over here.

*I consider myself a reality tv junkie, and I’ll cop to watching the worst of the worst shows (Bad Girls Club, anyone?) But Big Tips Texas is about to get itself deleted off my season pass. I was so excited to see a local show about “hot”, crazy girls right here in our backyard, and if it’s MTV, it’s gotta be slick, right? Wrong. The scenes are so fake (“I hate that girl. I wanna kick her ass. Oh, she coinciveniently showed up at the exact same bar at the exact same time on the exact same night as us? I’m gonna confront her.”) and we’re being sold a bill of goods because only two of the castmembers are actually attractive. Case in point.




*If you’re wife/girlfriend/sidepiece is still undecided on what to wear for Halloween, Kristen Schaal has a possibly NSFW solution.

*Hot.

*Not.

*I was slightly intrigued by the YTMA, but then I watched this video of Reggie Watts trying to explain how the voting process works and my mind exploded. If you do care enough to diagram it out, you may also wanna watch the award ceremony via live stream on Nov. 3^rd.

*Eff/Marry/Kill these birthday celebrators: Jay Novacek (51), Drake (27), Tila Tequila (32)

*If you’re the kind of parent who thinks a score of 91-0 is somehow “bullying”, you’re probably sissy enough to appreciate this innovative mom's idea. It seems the flesh-colored, lifeless mounds that act as Barbie’s rack and sweet spot are much too naughty for kids to see. So she's devised a way to cover up the devil’s details with nail polish. ‘Merica: Land of the fearful. Home of the hey, that’s not fair.

*Who makes a better Elton John: Justin Timberlake or TomHardy? Now I’m gonna have “B-B-B-Bane-y and the Jets” stuck in my head the rest of the day.

*So this is a real thing, huh? #Mamming

*Dear Santa, I’ve been good this year. I volunteered at multiple DFW Rescue Me events and last month, even though our meal at Sambuca was comped, I still tipped 20%. Can I pleeease have one of these for Christmas?

*While we’re talking DFWRM, check out the 2014 calendar featuring local rescue dogs. It’ll make a perfect stocking stuffer. (Hint, hint.)

*Media Takeout, I hate you. When I see the headline “Explicit Photos of Tyga’s Babymama- EXTREMELY GRAPHIC” with a CENSORED bar over the crotch, I assume it’s covering up something obscene.  Because I’m over 18 and curious, I took the bait. And what was I treated to? This perfectly safe photo of Blac Chyna in a bikini. Reminds me a lot of Jimmy Kimmel’s “Unnecessary Censorship”- just minus the funny.

*Speaking of unnecessary censorship... you're welcome.

*How am I just now seeing this video? (Depending on your job, potentially NSFW)

*Just when I think Lady Gaga has cornered the market on pop idol weirdos, Katy Perry reveals that shekeeps Miley Cyrus’ hair in her purse.

*Today? It’s been a few months since I’ve made the hour-and-a-half trek to FW to see Pizza Buzz. Think I’ll hitch a ride with Richie to scope out the progress. Don’t be a stranger.
