Pantera - I'm Broken

Source

Probably my all-time favorite Pantera tune. I used to crank on this song as I entered Kyle Seale Parkway on the way to Cedar Creek Golf Course in San Antonio. I know Rick Trevino knows the feeling of driving to Cedar Creek. It's a special place.

It's weird how things connect with other things, but Cedar Creek was my favorite course for a long, long time. I love music, and will always be listening to something good whenever I'm in the car. I usually make it a point to put on something great before a golf round, and I'm Broken & Cedar Creek just stuck together many times.

Stop It Already!

What Were They Thinking?

Hey I guess we oughta give 'em t-shirts for the game, huh?

Oh yeah - it rocks! It shows so much unity..

OK, well our colors are navy, light royal, white, and silver. Which one should we use?

Let's see - what color are we wearing?

We're at home.. It's kosher to wear the white jerseys at home.

OK - then I assume they're wearing their blue jerseys?

Yes, that's right.

OK let's give 'em blue shirts.

Makes sense to me.

Meet Giant George

"Giant George" and owner Dave Nasser share a couch together

"Giant George," the 7ft-long blue great dane who could be the world's tallest dog. Standing at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a staggering 245 lbs. - could this be the world's new tallest dog?

Pictured here along with Mr. Nasser in the parks of Tuscon, Arizona is George, a four-year-old blue great dane, who looks more like a miniature horse than a dog.

The four-year-old blue great dane, weighs a staggering 245lbs and measures almost 43ins at the shoulder. The gentle giant, who measures 7ft 3ins from nose to tail, could be a prime contender to take the title from the former record holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane who passed away from cancer last August.

Now George's owners, David and Christine Nasser, are awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records to see if he has achieved the lofty heights. "He's 42.625 inches at the shoulder," said David. "He's very very unique." According to David, George consumes 110 lbs. of food every month and sleeps alone in his own Queen Size Bed. Dave and Christine raised George from when he was 7 weeks old, but never expected him to grow so big.



With size comes problems: The giant great dane barely fits in the back of his owner's SUV! The couple eventually had to move their aptly named dog out of their king sized bed, when he grew too large for the three of them to share. Dr. William Wallace of the Buena Pet Clinic in Tucson, who witnessed the documentation necessary for the Guinness record, said: "In my 45 years of experience working with giant breed dogs, without question, George is the tallest dog I have ever seen." David is currently rushing to get that necessary documentation into Guinness as other dog owners are already coming forth claiming the record.

As they wait for the results to come through, George is busy occupying himself with his new found stardom and even has his own Facebook fan page and Twitter account for his adorning fans. It appears as though the sky's the limit for this mammoth hound.

Paws for thought: George's giant feet dwarf his owner Dave Nassar's hand.

(Snopes confirmation here - I had to check...)

Thanks Dad!
