Leading Off (11/21/08): My Teen Daughter Edition

1. DISD board members vote amid boos to extend their terms from three to four years. “Daddy, why are you always linking to bad DISD stuff? Why don’t you post good news? Like how I got an 82 on my test–and it wasn’t even multiple choice!”

2. Twilight advance ticket sales surpass Harry Potter films. “OMG, Daddy, you don’t even understand. This movie is going to be huge. Every person in my school wants to see it. Even the guys. Of course, there are a lot of gay guys at my school. But still.”

3. Arlington police raid and shut down the strip club Chicas Locas. “Gross. Daddy, you’ve never been to a strip club, right? … Daddy?”

  4. My wife and her girlfriends will be watching Twilight at the Angelika tonight. They bought tickets two weeks ago on Fandango (doesn’t that steal the joy of waiting in line to get tickets?)! I will have to reschedule my evening plans, which sadly involved a trip to Arlington. j/k

  6. I just hope that Mr Celeste (while dressed as Harry Potter) was not seen at a strip club with members of the DISD Board of Directors, while the club was having it’s “Tribute to Twilight” Strip-a-thon.

    I think that would make even Jack Lowe blush.

  8. 1 and 2 were real comments. 3 was for comedic effect … as far as you know.
