Dwaine Caraway’s Crusade Continues
First it was saggy pants, now it’s ugly storefronts. Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway is doing the little things that make a big difference. (That slogan seems like decades ago, doesn’t it?) I like Caraway’s style. Here, a partial list of suggestions for Caraway’s next cause:
–Drivers who don’t signal.
–Loud talkers.
–People who leave dirty dishes in the sink, when, come on, the dishwasher is right there.
–People who say they’re busy and have to call you right back, but then never do and you wonder if everything’s okay and maybe you should call them back, but then you remember that you don’t like talking on the phone.
As I said, the list is partial. I’m sure you commenters can help.

I’d like to see our Mayor Pro Tem eliminate:
Close talkers (I’m not deaf and I don’t want you in my grill all the time)
Double dippers (just take one chip and end it)
People who think Dane Cook is funny (pretty much explains itself)
- People who talk during movies
- Anyone who puts an empty milk carton back in the fridge
- Nigerian email scammers
- Drivers with windows down and have arm holding onto roof of car
- People who jog in the middle of the street
- Ex-girlfriends who call you in the middle of the night, throw a brick at your window and then… oh, never mind
Anything that’s not a threat to either Tom Leppert’s or Robert Decherd’s real estate plans.
Are we sure it’s safe for Nancy to be handling those bluebirds?
People who drive up to the drive-thru banking teller and then decide to work on their transaction paperwork.
People who have 215 items in the 15 items or less checkout lane
1. Slow in the fast lane… in fact, slow in any lane. Speed up people!
2. People who don’t clean up after their dogs.
3. People who let their cats outside (they should be shot with a tazer, daily).
4. Bicycles on busy streets during heavy traffic.
5. People whining about a tollroad being built through the Trinity River floodplain. We lost; get over it, and move on.
6. Homeless People.
1. People that ask, “Is it hot enough for ya?” It was freakin’ hot enough for me way back at 80, thanks.
2. Adults that blow children’s noisemakers more than once.
3. People that come to a complete stop and THEN turn into a driveway or parking lot entry.
4. People that pull out in front of me and then slow to exactly 15 miles below the speed limit – forcing me to put down my lip gloss and cell phone so I can slam on the brakes and use my middle finger.
5. Drivers who believe the laws of physics do not apply in parking lots.
1) TV types who say “drunk” instead of “drunken driving” or a “drunk driver” instead of “drunken” one. Next time, just try singing “What shall we do with the drunk sailor?”
2) Advertisers who print billboards that say a house prices start in the “210’s” instead of the 210s.
3) People who think you should drive slow in the left lanes on 635. Do you know how much gas we’d save and how much traffic would be reduced if DPD would ticket people not driving to the right on 635?
I happen to think Caraway is on the right track. The signs are trashy and when they cover windows, they create safety issues for the police. If the councilman helps his district gain value and reduce criminal activity, he is doing his job.
Make fun of Dwaine’s crusades all you want. He is at least doing right by listening to his constituents.
Who approach females at Happy Hour bars saying: “I’m taking a ‘D’ Magazine survey. Can you please answer A, B, or C to the following.
A) Are those implants?
B) Are you a nursing mother
C) Are you smuggling melons?”
Is Rawlins talking to Eric?
- mustachioed ahole cops with small man parts that think it’s funny to write tickets for made-up charges
- anyone that ever talks about the weather. ever. period. inclduing all TV weathermen. all of them are useless. and don’t gimme no “public needs to know” crap about tornados, hurricanes, hail etc. if you’re over the age of 10 and can’t tell what the weather is/going to be by taking a look around you then you deserve what you get
- driver’s that aren’t me
and as per Mr. Claxton’s request, that should be drivers not driver’s
damn self-editing stuff is sooooooo hard
people who say “lets get together for lunch, I’ll call you.” and they never do
people who write loose when they mean lose
people who say “I could care less” when they mean “I couldn’t care less”
people who fail to use the turn signal before they make the turn
