Celebration of the Lizard
Hey Corinna...nice to hear from ya! Didn't I trade that with you, for another Doors shirt I didn't care for? I thought the LA Woman tee would be best to wear. I don't care for shirts that just have Jimbos face plastered on it. bb...my bad on that. I guess it's just that Jim looks so good for his age. It's like he doesn't look a day over 25 in all the photos I see of him!— February 9, 2009 2:14 p.m.
What's Your Sign?
hahahaha...the easiest class I had was a basketball course that was taught by the womans basketball coach. It was an easy A.— February 9, 2009 8:12 a.m.
Michael Phelps -- 8 Gold Medals, 2 Drug Busts
I like how that guys favorite food is "anything that used to live".— February 7, 2009 9:55 a.m.
Crazy Celebs -- The Christian Bale/Etta James edition
Well blue...my girlfriend actually gives me crap about that, because usually I get that wrong, too. For example, I used to say "tru dat", and I once said "like the kids would say." She then said, "uh...I think it's only old white guys that THINK the kids say that. 'tru dat' went out a long time ago." But, maybe that's something that website "things white people like" should have on it. Phrases that older white dudes THINK are hip (like saying "get jiggy with it"...8 years after the song first came out).— February 7, 2009 9:51 a.m.
Michael Phelps Revisited -- And a Poker Game Bust
UPDATE: Kellog's has dropped Phelps. Which, I find ironic, since it's that cereal that gives kids a sugar high each morning. Not to mention...when people get stoned and get the munchies, it's probably Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops that they're grabbing out of the cabinet to mack on.— February 6, 2009 8:46 a.m.
Autoette in the News
Was the DUI comment a ref. to Bill Murray driving that golf carter while drunk, in whatever country that was? Funny stuff.— February 6, 2009 1:29 a.m.
What's Your Sign?
Yes, I've seen the fish with legs, and the TRUTH fish as well. When I was in radio, I had an interview with Harry Shearer. He was promoting the latest Spinal Tap album. And, he had a devil tattooed on his arm. It had this weird white, forked tongue. I asked him about that. He said it was when he was in a Christian metal band. and it wasn't the tongue that I was seeing. It was the tail of one of those Christian fish, that the devil was eating. I thought that was clever.— February 6, 2009 1:18 a.m.
Michael Phelps -- 8 Gold Medals, 2 Drug Busts
That's funny you say that, Fred. My mom leaves that message on my machine once a month. I'm a sloppy writer. And I type fast...those two don't mix.— February 5, 2009 4:14 p.m.
Michael Phelps Revisited -- And a Poker Game Bust
Well Fred, of all that stuff I just read...I feel bad for the dog getting shot. But, less so regarding THOSE poker players. Because, once you start having people "buy in" for a few hundred dollars, you're now engaged in illegal activity. And, whether or not it should be legal is a different argument. Because, you can argue about which laws you don't think make sense until you're blue in the face. I still don't know why you can't talk on a cell phone while you drive, but you CAN SMOKE, and put your ashes outside the car window (which could start a fire), and throw your cigarette out (which is littering). Smoking while driving is surely a distraction, no? But, the reason the cops might be busting this games is that it's gone from the friendly neighborhood game with a few friends (where you played for change...or a $5 buy in for chips), into these Texas Hold 'Em tournaments with serious money on the line.— February 5, 2009 10:56 a.m.
Honking at the Homeless
Wow...at Pat & Oscar's in Mission Valley last night, the best homeless guy of all-time. I was sitting outside, and returning to my table. He asked the people next to us (that always seem to go there and play board games), if he could have the bread sticks that they weren't going to finish. They said yes, he took them, and immediately left. He didn't bother anyone at any of the other tables. My girlfriend and I had a lot of left over food we were then going to give him, but he quickly walked away before we could. We drove around a bit looking for him, to offer him a few bucks.— February 5, 2009 4:15 a.m.
