That’s one fishy Houston media dream
Closed Published by mike@mikemcguff.com (mikemcguff) May 30th, 2007 on mikemcguff blogI don’t even know how to begin this post.
First Ken Hoffman names his fish after the 13 Eyewitness News anchors.
Suddenly Chief Meteorologist Tim Heller is having dreams about Squirt bottles and Twinkies.
Are these two events connected?

It’s time to bring out more Scotland photos. I told you I would, especially since I shot more than 400 photos while in the UK. Don’t worry, not all of them will hit the blog.
Here are pictures from Stirling Castle in Stirling. This is the place where William Wallace defeated the English in 1297. Remember the guy Mel Gibson played in Braveheart? I loved how these photos turned out. Click on a picture to enlarge the sucker.

VIDEO: Bill O’Reilly anchoring ABC News

Love him or hate him, Bill O’Reilly used to work for ABC News. Here is a news brief from those days.
He has more hair, but then again so did everyone else back then. Where’s the swagger or BS depending which side you’re on. Sure he was a newsman at one time, but O’Reilly is an entertainer now. He knows how to put on a show and push buttons. That’s why he has high ratings. If you watch his show, to me he comes off like he’s winking at the audience.
This is the same guy who hosted Inside Edition after all. (Watch that here)
The Police review, Marilyn Manson thinks a rapper is too extreme

I feel stupid. The day tickets went on sale in Houston for The Police show at the Toyota Center, I totally forgot to buy tickets. By that night, the only seats left were way above the backstage area.
I’m told that there are a lot of those seats for sale on the Internet now. Maybe I will have some luck. In the meantime, Rolling Stone reviews the first official show of the tour.
Did Sting and the boys let the crowd down? Nope.
Next, Marilyn Manson was set to record with Eminem, but Manson thought the rapper was too extreme!
Imagine a guy who wears thongs on stage and is named after a murdering cult leader saying that.

As I mentioned earlier, getting the good self portraits while on vacation was a concern. That lead us to purchase a compact digital point and shoot camera.
