Leading Off (5/25/10)

1. A homeless man was arrested for stealing some chicken nuggets from a Wendy’s on Greenville. Don’t really want to poke fun at that, but it’s still cool if I paid for those nuggets!” becomes my new all-purpose catchphrase, right? Because I’m kind of going to do it anyway.

2. Jupiter Lanes is closing in early June. So I’ll have to find another place to drink bourbon from a Styrofoam cup well before noon. My porch is currently in pole position.

3. The only way I’d be less interested in Rick Perry’s forthcoming book is if Dan Brown was his co-writer. And even then it probably would be better, because you know Perry would wind up in some antechamber below the governor’s mansion trying to decipher ancient masonic symbols in his race against time (and the federal government!) to find a piece of the true cross or something.

  1. I was responsible for the Best of Big D nod we gave Jupiter in 2006. Man, I really liked that place. I guess the economics of bowling ain’t what they used to be. So sad.

  2. Not Jupiter! Say it ain’t so! Now for the bigger issue – what will become of that sweet sweet mullet mural? I must have it.

  3. Re: 1: I suggest “Streets ahead” if “I paid for those nuggets!” doesn’t work out for you.
