Leading Off (1/11/10)

1. Sometimes losing your pants is harmless fun, like on a cold Sunday afternoon on a DART train because, well, there wasn’t “anything better to do.”

2. It get’s trickier when you allegedly lose your pants. That’s the situation Van Morrison is in, and because he may have lost his pants in Dallas, the local gossip-teers are bristling with excitement as the legend makes his way to North Texas later this month.

3. But whatever you do, don’t talk about pants-less things. That’s what Tom Hicks Jr. did in an email to a Liverpool supporter. Hicks Sr. and Jr. were probably already the most hated people in Liverpool. Now, after Hicks Jr.’s rant, Liverpool supporters are all calling for resignations. (Good thing that boy from Nacogdoches is over there making Americans look good despite the ongoing Hicks soap opera.)

  2. 1) English people think biscuits are cookies.

    2) English people think cookies are biscuits.

    If anything, they’re the crude brutes. QED

  3. But meanwhile, the stateside supporters of the reinstitution of the Federal estate tax just got another poignant arrow in their quivers.

    Way to go, Junior.

  4. Wouldn’t you have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Tom Senior stormed into the office of his heir apparent to demand some type of reasoned explanation?

  5. Daniel,
    Yes, English people do think cookies are biscuits (never heard them talk about cookies outside of Sesame Street).
    As far as the crude brutes line (not quite sure what QED reference can be deduced from biscuits?), I don’t think Hicks Jr could be bettered by any of the foul mouth fans on the terraces. The difference is the fans don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are, unlike Daddy’s boy. Good riddance to the son and hopefully Dad will follow soon…..
    Oh and by the way, Clint Dempsey is having a great season!

  6. And what a time for Dempsey to come into his own. Add to that some QT in the Premiership for ol’ Landon and June is looking mighty fine.
