Essie May predicts . . .

It looks like Six Flags Over Texas has won its petition to sell alcoholic beverages at the Arlington park. A Six Flags spokesman says they hope to be selling beer when they open the 2009 season February 28.

Essie May predicts that before 2009 is over, the park will be sued by some idiot who drank too much and then got hurt by doing something stupid on one of the rides -- or by an innocent patron who was hurt by the drunken idiot.

Remember, you heard it here first!

Paris News funny for the day: Poor Krista Goerte doesn't know whether the word she wants is spelled "premiere" or "premier," so she uses both versions in her January 15 story about a 1959 Impala headed for the auction block. Judging from the context, the word she wants is "premier" meaning first in importance. But then she messes it up -- " . . .on the auction block at one of the world's most premier auction houses." It can't be "most premier." Either it's premier or it's not -- kind of like most unique. On the other hand, I have to say that Krista's writing style is most unique!
