Texarkana bound

Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin',
we're gonna do what they say can't be done.

Falling, dead pigeons mar city festival
AP, 9/13/06

TEXARKANA, Texas --Poisoned pigeons began nose-diving into pavement and dying on downtown sidewalks, marring the city's annual festival.

CapitalOne Bank President Lacy McMillen said in Tuesday's online edition of Texarkana Gazette. "It was not the intention of the bank to harm any of these birds."

Oh no? Isn't harm implied by the title exterminator?

McMillen said the bank hired an exterminator to handle its pigeon problem after a bird entered the bank and defecated on a customer.

I'm terribly sorry Mam. Would you like to apply for a no hassel credit card?

Fire Chief Robert Farstad had described the scene as birds "coming down like dive bombers."
