Josh Hamilton, The Movie. Yes, apparently there is a movie about Josh Hamilton’s life in the works, and Casey Affleck is attached to act and direct. Will they just re-use Brent Jennings from Moneyball to play Ron Washington? Who would you pick to play Hamilton?
Plano Man Gives New Definition to Bad Neighbor. Even before he allegedly tried to blow up a gas line, it doesn’t sound like Anson Chi was a well-loved figure in his Plano neighborhood. Oh, and hey, he’s an author, if you’d like to read his book (the story is locked up tight behind a paywall, but the book is not).
Tarrant County Runner Killed in Hit-and-Run Accident. What happened to Walter Hopkins is something I worry about every time one of my running enthusiast friends heads out for a run – someone hit him, callously left the scene, and then apparently left immediately for a body shop.
Alleged Big Rig Thief Only Wanted the Fuel. Garrick Beck may have garnered national attention when he allegedly stole an 18-wheeler cab, but he’s very sorry now, and says he was just trying to sell the fuel. Only there wasn’t any.
Love Field Is Watching You – in HD. So you nose pickers and thong adjusters passing through Love Field, be warned: City of Dallas IT people are watching you now, and they’ve got high definition.

Isn’t Will Ferrell about as close to a Josh Hamilton lookalike as they come?
Heck yeah. Book club. You guys might not be as far along in his novel *Yellow on the Outside, Shame on the Inside: Asian Culture Revealed*, and I don’t want to spoil anything, but I have a few observations:
1. There’s a pdf download on his website for easier reading: http://ansonchi.webng.com/asianculturerevealed.pdf
2. I’m kinda upset that the Dallas Morning News revealed the ending. Not cool. Hello, spoiler alert? (Also, how OLD are the people writing that news report? “…he updated the page almost daily…” Yeah, it’s Facebook. Everyone updates daily.)
3. So far, my favorite line is “Hello my ass! Payback’s a bitch, bitch!” (that’s from chapter 19) T-shirts!
4. I like when a novel ends with an ellipses. It’s punctuation’s way of saying: “I’m done, or am I?”
5. I love that the book includes outtakes and a section where the author interviews himself. First question: “Why would you write a book that’s not true?” Good question. I often wonder that every time I’m reading fiction. Gatsby’s not real, WTF?! Humbert Humbert, you don’t exist! I also like the question: “Why are you a racist?” It’s a good question to just throw at people randomly and see how they respond.
6. In all seriousness, I’ve read worse. The guy can put words together, and the novel is coherent. Does D Home need any new contributors?
Cole Hauser looks JUST like Josh Hamilton and he was in Good Will Hunting with the Affleck boys
I’ve never see that Channing something guy act (except on Saturday Night Live), but he looks a fair amount like Josh.
I’d cast Justin Timberlake so he can dress like a bat and “Bring it on down to Rangersville”.
They better write multiple endings to the Josh Hamilton movie, as that guy could end up in jail, rehab, or the bathroom at Sherlock’s at any moment.
You are one cold dude, PL, but I fear you speak the truth.
