B.B. King vs BB Guns
Wow...a previous trip to anger management. What a dope. The women with these guys are just as stupid.— March 9, 2009 1:17 a.m.
Die Doing What You Love -- And Criminals that Die Trying
THANK YOU, for donating your time for a good cause. One of the few things I enjoyed about Gran Torino, was when a character in the film dies, and leaves a house to his church. The character didn't care for the church or religion, but the spouse did. A wonderful gesture that was. I like to think of people doing that before they die, but giving stuff to charities they feel strongly about. Sure, leave the kids a little something...but help out a charity, too. (i just realized one of my lines in here sounded a lot like Yoda)— March 9, 2009 1:16 a.m.
Too Cool for the Room
Chrissy used to hang out at the SEX shop in London, that Malcolm McLaren owned. She got to watch all the other blokes become famous (bow wow wow, adam ant, sex pistols), and she was the last to break big. And probably the most talented. Did anyone go to the show? I'd love to hear how it was.— March 9, 2009 1:13 a.m.

You gals are insane. Listen...they just did this survey about a year ago. They showed women photos of men, and the men that were disabled, were all less diserable. And they speculated the same thing. That women look for guys that will breed with good genes. This isn't rocket science here. I'll be the first to say, old guys...wait, scratch that. ANY GUYS that sit there staring at hot women, no matter what age, look like perves. And they are lame, for not even being able to do it without being noticed. Or for even doing it at all. I play racquetball with guys, and if women are working out near us (it's an all glass back wall), I see them staring at them before they serve, or in between games. And these girls are sometimes 16!!! But, you can Google and find out more on these topics. Because, I'm not even talking about a woman that is an Anna Nicole Smith type of golddigger. I think there are women that don't even consciously know they are doing that. They just gravitate towards some guy with a high paying job. I've been to some events, that are filled with doctors. And, you see some attractive 40 year old woman, with a 68-year-old doctor. It doesn't mean she's a gold digger. It doesn't mean she doesn't love him. Or that he doesn't also have an "amazing sense of humor." But, if that same guy was a...oh, plumber. Or any profession that isn't as exciting or makes as much money, do you think that 68-year-old guy, with thick glasses and a bald head, would still pull in that woman? Seriously?— March 9, 2009 1:12 a.m.

I think it all goes back, thousands of years, to biology. People are attracted to who they're attracted to. And, young women, are ones that guys can "breed" with. Women dig that "alpha male"...who in some warped young ladies minds, is the guy that's doing all the crazy s***. I just don't know why guys don't realize how insane they look, when they're staring at a woman or girl in the mall, that looks young enough to be their daughter or granddaughter. And ESPECIALLY in the work place.— March 8, 2009 9:33 a.m.
Die Doing What You Love -- And Criminals that Die Trying
Maybe like Thelma & Louise, but first go to one of those classic car places. Ask to take that '57 Chevy out for a test drive, and..... ..........woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... [crash sfx here]— March 7, 2009 6:56 p.m.

Well...there was that report a few months ago, that stated the obvious. The number one thing that attracted women WAS NOT a sense of humor. It was money. I always said...girls are lined up at George Clooneys house, not George Carlin. Yet they say that want a man with a "sense of humor" first and foremost. Of course, Clooney has the looks and the money, so probably a bad analogy. And now Carlin is dead, so I'll have to pick two different guys when I use that. But...to me, what's just as lame as a rich guy trying to take that into meeting women, are those guys that call radio stations. And they lament that they can never find a "nice girl" and the women they like always go after the "bad boys" and blah blah blah. A woman STILL has the right to like a guy that can afford to buy her a nice meal, without asking to split the check. A woman still wants to have a guy that has some balls. Not necessarily a "bad boy," but not one of these guys that calls Jeff & Jerr, and then stands on a street corner holding a sign, and saying how nice of a guy he is, but women "don't want a nice guy." That's a bunch of BS.— March 7, 2009 11:36 a.m.
B.B. King vs BB Guns
I love how the dad in the story is saying his son embellished the story, or implies that he had "help" writing it. Classic denial. Next, Chris Brown is going to say that ....oh, don't get me started on her. She got what she deserved (I can say that...I mean, she's staying with the guy, so what else can you say on the matter?) Anyway, the dad also went to "anger management." Well, if it was just horseplay, as he says, why did he agree to go to anger management?— March 7, 2009 12:54 a.m.

Well...I talked to the PB Millionaire. Wait, scratch that. I talked to his "people" about possible parties, a few months back. They said something about lining one up in a few months. As of now, nothing. I don't remember the guy in the 80s...but I remember the guy that the TV reality show did, where it was "marry a millionaire" or some such thing, and when they went to look at his house in Encinitas, it didn't look so great. And, it had an old toilet in his yard.— March 6, 2009 5:27 p.m.
A sampling of San Diego's vanity license plates
Thanks, Nacho. I just got a call from a guy with the last name Ford. It reminded me of the movie The Wrestler, and Rourkes character named Randy The Ram Robinson, and he's driving a Ram van. And, the girl he likes drives a Ram truck. This dude should be driving a Ford. Anyway, he brought up a few interesting things. He collects license plates...mentioned Hodad's, and their wall of plates. Also, that the vehicle used to drive on the moon, had a special license plate (who knew?) He also said that in the 40s, in some state in the mid-west, they made the plates out of soy, but the problem was goats eating them.— March 6, 2009 11:46 a.m.
