If my wife goes into overtime with the Chiefs, she's sleeping on the couch...

YOU COULD BE A PART-TIME MODEL:
Deb is a professional model. Or not. She’s not getting any money for
it, but she’s walking a runway. Does that count? She got hooked up
with Runway to Heaven, a charity fashion show, which benefits the
Austin Children’s Shelter. They wanted some amateur models up on the
runway, and who’s more amateur than Deb O’Keefe? She’s super nervous
about it – there will probably be a Sex In The City moment where she
eats it on the runway. Some designers who’ll be represented - Versace,
Linda Asaf (a local designer), Poleci, and Alexandra King (another
local designer). Deb showed up to a meeting about the show wearing her
typical Fall attire - skinny jeans, plaid shirt, scruffy boots, and
fedoras – and when she met Alex King, she was wearing the same outfit
(but nicer). Deb signed up to wear her stuff immediately. It’s
Saturday night starting at 7:30 at the Austonian, which is super-nice –
they would never let us in if Deb weren’t part of the event. So come
out to look at the fashionable clothing, bring your lady, maybe. Girls
like clothes, guys. That’s a free tip. More information at
runwaytoheaven.com.
THE NEWLY-BONED GAME:
Sorority Intern and her boyfriend, Russell (the guy in the picture to Cassandra's right) the trapeze badass, have been together since this summer, and we decided to put that relationship to the test. The Newly-Boned Game is where we ask a couple questions about each other, and then they have to guess what the other will have said. Any similarity to that game with newlyweds on TV is totally coincidental. We haven’t played in a while, and maybe that’s for the best, but as long as we’re playing again, we may as well use Cassandra as our guinea pig. For every correct answer they gave, that was a week Jason wouldn’t do the Russell impression. If they got 4 out of 5, Jason would go on the trapeze again. Wow. I’m not sure anybody wins in that situation. Cassandra left the room, then Russell was asked the following:
1. Which is his favorite out of SI’s friends? He said that, since he hasn’t spent too much time with her friends, Deb would have to be it. Cassandra guessed that totally right.
2. What’s the first thing Cassandra does in the morning? She moans, he said. Cassandra guessed it was giving him a kiss. That's one wrong
3. How many times, per week, on average, do the two of them make whoopee? He said it’s probably 12. (Jesus. Really?) Cassandra guessed around 11, and that was within one, and that was all she needed. Well done.
4. How many times a week does Cassandra speak to her mom? He guessed maybe just once. Cassandra said exactly that.
5. Last question: If he had to choose one, would he prefer to hang out with her dad, her mom, or her sister? It would probably be her dad. Cassandra guessed – her dad. The uproar in the room when she got it right was unbelievable.
Look at that – they really know each other. Now Jason gets to go out to Trapeze Austin – and so can you. They have 2-hour classes at least 5 days a week
you actually do a mid-air transfer on your first day
It’s really fun just to go out there for a workout, or to bring a whole group out and make a party out of it.

PRISON PEN PAL:
The only real, physical mail that we ever get is from our favorite, #1
prison listener, Judson May, who’s up at the Bastrop Federal
Corrections Institute, serving off some time for being in the “sales
business.” We had talked last week about a news story we heard about
prisoners possibly getting the H1N1 flu shot before citizens on the
outside, and we wondered if he knew anything about that. He started
out extremely happy (happier than any of us, and we’re not behind bars
– what’s our excuse) and said that he doesn’t take any shots anyway –
he just runs out and exercises. Jason says that it works out the
opposite way for him – every time he works out, he gets sick. Judson
says he’s afraid of the doctors trying to use the prisoners as guinea
pigs for some new vaccines, which probably isn’t true, but who knows?
He was also wondering when he would receive a picture of Cassandra
covered in mud from ACL. We’ll get right on that, Judson. It’s the
least we can do.
THAT GUY:
With the proximity of Halloween, we have to talk about this one: Wears-His-Costume-To-Work Guy. Jason didn’t even know what he was going to be for Halloween till 6 o’clock on Saturday, but you know that guy who’s so pumped for Halloween that he’s wearing his costume as early as he possibly can – at work, at school, wherever. On Friday up here at the station, it was a little crazy. There was a costume contest, and lots of people got really into it. (The winner went as a hillbilly KLBJ listener.) But isn’t that a little unacceptable? This is the place where you want to impress people, where you want to get a raise eventually. Who are you impressing with your hillbilly costume? Teresa called in to say that she was eating Dim Sum, and all the waiters were dressed up as the Village People, which took away from the experience a little bit. Maybe this should be the rule: you can only wear costumes where there’s alcohol involved. So if your office party is a kegger, hillbilly guy, go crazy.
I LOVE YOU CALL:
Every day we call a random local business and try to trick them into
telling Deb, “I love you.” Today we called Bluebonnet Hill Golf
Course, where Tim answered the phone. Deb got off to a great start by
not even knowing that it’s called a golf course, not a field. (Didn’t
she work for the Golf Channel or something?) He said she would
probably be better suited for a public course. She said that was a
little elitist, but he responded, very diplomatically, “It’s more of a
pace issue.” She responded that that was a little racialist, and she’d
have to call the NAACP on him. He agreed, and said, “You have a good
day. What happened next? *Click.* Butt-slammed. Maybe the rest of
the week will be better for you.
SPORT CLIPS:
We got a visit today from the lovely ladies of Sport Clips, Angie and Amber, today. Jason wondered if they legitimately like sports, or if they just work somewhere that plays it all the time, but they definitely do. He hoped some of that could rub off on Deb. The ladies were here to tell us about Operation Uplink that’s going on now. It’s an event organized through the VFW – Veterans of Foreign Wars – to allow soldiers who are stationed overseas to call home for free. Which is pretty great. This year, for the fifth year, they’re doing it during the holiday season, Christmas Day in particular. They can talk as long as they want to – no limit. That’s great. You can help them out by donating in-store, online, or even get your hair cut on Nov. 11th, and $1 from every haircut will be donated toward the effort. That’s great. Help them out now through November 14th, in-store or at sportclips.com.
THE QUIZ:
Deb is not a football expert, but we try to educate her every day in the ways of the pigskin. Could she name any Cowboys quarterback who started between Troy Aikman and Tony Romo? She lived in Dallas for part of that time, and some of that rubbed off on her, because she got Drew Bledsoe. Wow. What is a deep snapper? She tried her best to Brains+Science=Correct Answers on this one, but couldn't get it together. It's the guy who throws the ball back to be punted or kicked. They play three minutes a game, and get paid $300,00 a year. That's the way to do it in the NFL, kids.
REWIND:
Two days ago Deb went to eat with her man and his little girl at a restaurant. It was pretty early for dinner, but she wasn’t feeling well so she needed to go home early. They noticed there weren’t many people in the parking lot. They walked to the front door and it took them a while to get the door to work. They sat in the waiting area and didn’t even see a single person there. Deb immediately started feeling scared and a bit uncomfortable. She started having a bit of an anxiety attack and made her man run out of the restaurant with her. Is that wrong? Should she have run out like that before even trying it out? There was no one eating in the place. It was 5pm, so maybe they were between shifts. No one has dinner that early anyways. When it comes to food, we all agreed that it is better to be safe than sorry.
SPORTS:
The World Series continues with tonight’s game where the Yankees can close it out after leading that series 3 games to 2. This is the first time in years that the Series has gone to Game 6.
Mavericks over the Jazz last night, 96-85, with Dirk Nowitzki scoring a record 29 points in the fourth quarter.
Texas hosts Central Florida at 11 AM on Saturday, Texas a 36.5-point favorite.
NEWS:
Farouk Shami, a Houston hair care executive (the guy who runs the business that sells the CHI hair straighteners), has officially announced that he’s going to run for governor. He’s promised to put $10 million on the Democratic primary alone. Good luck with that.
Chris Martin is cheating on Gwyneth Paltrow. Maybe. He was seen making out with Kate Bosworth at a U2 show in Vegas last week, allegedly. Way to keep it secret if it is true, dude.
In India, two men who were identified as terrorists were found ripped to shreds by a bear, in whose cave they had been hiding overnight. Way to go get ‘em for the good ol’ US and A, bear.
Whitney Isleib, a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, dressed up as Lil’ Wayne for Halloween, which wouldn’t have been a problem – if she hadn’t covered herself in black paint. That’s blackface, isn’t it? And that’s not too good.

Should Deb get her nose pierced again? |
