Leading Off

1. In case you missed it, Sandra Crenshaw jumped on FrontBurner over the weekend to drop some knowledge (scroll down).

2. I’d be pretty freaked out by Dirk Nowitzki’s injury (and another Mavs loss) right now if I wasn’t under such heavy sedation.

3. At what point will someone come up with a nickname for the arsonist (or arsonists) responsible for all the car fires in Oak Cliff, including a Dallas constable’s ride?

    3. Oh, and how about “Firebird” ?

    “Hooverville” (for those non history buffs - Wikipedia the term)

  • Enrique De La Fuente

    How ’bout the “Dallas Burn”?

  • Danno

    CARsonist?

  • ROJ

    The Car-Burn-Ator

    1) Crenshaw is smarter than we think. Which is good considering what we think.

    2) If that guy in Oklahoma can rise from the dead after being declared brain dead with his doctors about to harvest his organs, then Dirk can heal. Shall we pray? (Sandra? )

    3) Hate ta-be a killjoy but then why the hell not: If those OC car arsonists were in a so-called ‘good’ part of town, would not the temptation to jest regarding, shall we say…lessen? Many of those who have lost their cars have only liability per the law…low income, etc. And even if covered they are only paid Blue Book. So this is a tragedy to them, and those in that area w/o garages, etc. are terrified. A DJ over at Lee Harvey’s told be she and her partner take turns sitting up at night watching their car in that neighborhood. She was exhausted but said she could not afford a new car if this one…paid for…was torched. Scary stuff. (Sandra? Marty?)

    Rawlins: Actually, my attempt to come up with a nickname for the person(s) burning the cars was to draw a bit of attention. The police/paper/TV news are still couching everything in terms of “may be connected,” which I find patently ridiculous. Anyway, OC dwellers: send any tips you have my way and we’ll catch The Carsonist.

    Hell, you know we’re in an apocalyse when it’s hard to know what’s scarier…….. a car bomber or another Sandra Crenshaw thread.
