Stop and Smell the Roses (And Leave a Tip for Joshua Bell)
I got one of these chain letter emails. But this one I found rather interesting. I did a bit of research, something I hate I do. I had to, though. I wanted to make sure the story was legit. And …
Vision Restored for the Blind
I remember hearing an old person years ago asking why it was called a Blue Tooth, when it goes in your ear. I wonder what he’d think of the eyetooth story I heard about a few weeks ago. A 60-year-old …
Polanski Children Center -- Celebrity Idiots in the News
I was all set to write about the two idiot celebrities in the news, and then former El Cajon resident Tawny Kitaen throws me off by getting popped for a DUI. I have to mention her, because she was recently …
Diving (not driving) with Golf Balls
I’ve been on the crusade to have people over the age of 70 having their drivers licenses taken away from them. Even more so after yesterday. I was at a party, and this adorable woman that was probably in her …
Take Me to the Pilot -- Stalker Stories
Stalkers are really hard to figure out. I remember a few girlfriends in high school that cheated on me. I ended the relationship and moved on. Some of them wanted me back and I told them to get lost. I …
One Dad at a Time -- Celebrity Sex Scandals
I heard a few things about Anna Nicole Smith the other day. I can hardly remember what they were. It seems every few months a new story pops up about her. And she's been dead for almost three years now. …
C is for Cookie
I was craving some milk and cookies before bed. But I don't keep cookies in the house anymore. I just don't have the will power. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago. I slowly gained a bit …
Fun Football Stories
With the Chargers losing their second game of the season (even though they're 1-1), I thought the football fans might like a few stories that don't involve the Chargers getting injured (or getting DUIs). Surprisingly, when Chad Ochocinco (the dork …
Going to the Chapel
My girlfriend just got back from Maryland, where she was taking care of a sick relative. And this made me think of something that happened in that area earlier this month. Now, you hear about wedding proposals with airplanes that …
County Health Meet County Fair
A man killed an old lady and soaked the womans body in gasoline to throw off search dogs, as he buried the remains in her flower garden. So how does this guy pay for his crimes? He gets to soak …
Neighbor Nightmares of the Rich and Famous
There have been a few stories locally about the houses that banks have taken over. Some have started to look bad, with weeds growing everywhere and other things that have gotten the neighbors angry (phone books and newspapers piling up). …
Driving Pet Peeves
I've touched on some of these things before, but thought it was about time to make one ultimate list of the things that bother me most on the roads. Anything you want to add, I'm always looking to expand my …
Daisy's Pushing Daisies
Jessica Simpson is famous to different people for different reasons. To music fans, for her crappy pop songs. To football fans, for dating Tony Romo and ruining his mojo. To fans of bad reality TV, she had that show with …
Walking and Chewing Gum at the Same Time
I was with my dog at the park and he was playing with one of his favorite friends, Opie, who is a Beagle mix. Aside from wrestling, they run around after each other. It's so odd to watch, because they'll …
I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues -- Elton John and Jimmy Carter Stuff
As I sat down to type this blog, all prepared with a topic at hand, I hear that idiot Keith Olbermann talking about Jimmy Carter. The man that was one of the worst Presidents in history, has officially become one …
Idiotic Athletes -- The Michael Jordan and Serena Williams Editions
A lot of times when a celebrity does something crazy, another celebrity will do something that takes away some of the bad press they would've gotten. Or a celebrity will die, which gets people talking about that, instead of the …
Put Me in Coach, I'm Ready to Play...
In Kentucky, a high school football coach is being tried for reckless homicide for the death of a player. The kid collapsed during a practice and died last year in August, when temperatures were in the mid-90s. This is the …
Old Guys Rule (or Colonel Mustard w/ a Revolver in the Conservatory)
I remember being about 11 when the movie "Going in Style" came on HBO. It was about three old guys (George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg), who decide to rob a bank. I only saw it once, but if …
From 11-Months to 115 Years Old
In New York, a couple is facing charges after they photographed their 11-month-old and 5-year-old sons posing with guns. The 24-year-old mom thought the photos would be funny. Well, apparently not all the people she emailed them did. One called …
I Know That Dude
My stepdad and girlfriend have this unique power. Okay, well...power might not be the right word. It's not like a power that super heroes have. They can recognize people very well. It sometimes saves me, because my girlfriend will say …
Fat People Flying
I hadn't played racquetball with Thomas in months. He was no longer working for the company in Sorrento Valley, so hitting the LA Fitness there wasn't happenin'. He flew out of the country on vacation, and we recently got together …
McDonald's -- Over 50 Billion Sued
What a shame. That poor guy in the movie "Coming to America" had to change the name of his restaurant because it resembled McDonald's. Yet in real life, for some reason, restaurants can get away with it. In Malaysia, a …
Police Officer and Rapper -- One Kills a Man. One Gives Away Cars.
Chris Rock once said how bizarre the world had become when Eminem had a #1 record, saying "The top rapper is white, and the best golfer is black." Along that same logic, I wonder what the world is coming to …
San Diego Stupid Chargers -- The Tila Tequilla Edition
There were a few crazy parties last night, as well as my fantasy football draft. Always weird to go from a three hour period spent with geeks that have 34 different color-coded sheets with various football player stats....to a crazy …
Oldies (but goodies?)
I had a day of running all over town, topped off by some racquetball games against Gavin. This guy makes me run so much, my legs feel like they're going to fall off. Luckily, neither of us got injured when …
Car Crash That's a Nail Biter
This story happened in Salt Lake City, home for all your salt needs (and all your multipe wives). Lee Redmond is a 68-year-old lady who was in a car crash. Now, it would be fun to speculate as to how …
Football Hero and Football Zero
I was watching the Tonight Show last night. Conan is so funny, and it was great seeing him talk to the Chula Vista all-star baseball team. One 13-year-old pitcher is 6'2" and almost as tall as O'Brien. The accomplishment of …
Roller Coaster of Love
I heard a few weeks ago that someone died while rehearsing for an Indiana Jones event at Disneyworld. The stuntman fell onto a stage. And I believe Disneyworld has had a few other deaths recently, but I can't recall what …
Two Idiots Suing -- The Miss California Edition
Back in 2007, a robbery occured in a Michigan store. The guy got 8 to 22 years (huh?). Now he's suing the store, because when he robbed the place, an employee shot him as he was fleeing. Now, that's a …
The Basterds at Corvette Diner
I couldn't believe how long it took me to hit Corvette Diner since it moved from Hillcrest to Liberty Station in Point Loma. I always see it there when I go to Wine Steals across the street (our new favorite …
