No Habla English
I agree with sdblogger. Uh, not that sdblogger, the other one. I think, in this country, I shouldn't have to listen to a DMV message in Spanish telling me if I want Espanol, to press 3. I have no problem if the DMV hires bilingual people, so it's easier when people that aren't comfortable with English come in. Fine. But don't make my phone call longer, because you need to do something for DRIVERS of automobiles, in THIS COUNTRY, that do not know English. You know, you aren't allowed to wear headphones while you drive, because you won't hear sirens or other things. Well, if you can't speak ENGLISH, or don't know how to read it, you won't be able to read a sign that tells you "road construction ahead -- detour". So, why should you be given this courtesy in a voting booth? Or, should we just make DETOUR signs in 8 different languages?— February 7, 2008 10:24 p.m.

Gumball Rally II
It can. When I was around eight...I used a slug in a gumball machine at Fedmart (before they all became Target stores). As the gumball slid down, and my excitement at beating the system...I saw a sticker that talked about how much jail time you could do if you are caught. I told my older brother, and he scared me into thinking that in the next few weeks, the cops could show up at my house. I got away with it, though.— February 5, 2008 1:18 a.m.
Accidents Happen
That's why I don't mind getting tickets, because if I did something wrong, and the city can benefit by some cash of mine, I have no problem coughing it up. It's the fact that I almost turn into those idiots I hate, that say "Go find the real criminals." And, having this idiot jump up and down while lecturing me, like he just used spike strips to stop me from doing 150...— February 3, 2008 12:52 a.m.
Gumball Rally
You is a slow reader then. I just realized, too, when I was telling my mom this story, it was actually a bunch of dimes, not quarters. I think that was just my "wishful thinking memory" at work.— February 3, 2008 12:50 a.m.
Urban Pulses
Yeah, I have. I was going to write about it a few years back. I had 3 parties that night. It was around Christmas. And, I got a flat tire, and was on the side of the road fixing it. I didn't have the right jack, and it was taking a long time. So, I skipped the swingers party, and went directly to the second party, which was a woman that was a friend of a friend. I think, generally, swingers don't want to be known.— February 3, 2008 12:48 a.m.
San Diego soccer moms are the absolute worst
Well, someone sent a letter to the Reader about how there were more "soccer dads" than "soccer moms" that did crazy stuff. Well, just this morning in the Union-Tribune, is a story along those lines. At an Otay Ranch High School soccer field Friday, a coach allegedly choked and punched two 17-year-old players from the opposing team. The 39-year-old men's varsity coach is being charged with three counts of felony battery. And, more than a dozen officers rushed to the fields, when a San Ysidro High School player fouled an Otay Ranch player and was flagged for a penalty. The scene ended up escalating into spectators fighting on the field.— February 2, 2008 1:47 p.m.
Rappers Delight Police
The difference, though, towelhead...is those artists don't go killing each other, and committing crimes. Okay, well, Macy Gray did committ a "hair crime," and the late Syd Barrett did illegal drugs....— January 30, 2008 3:13 p.m.
A Weird Circumstance about Circumcision
So...H8MYWIFE...are you saying you would not circumsize a baby? You know there are many benefits to doing that, don't you?— January 30, 2008 3:11 p.m.

I worked with Todd Kelly. A very professional DJ, and a class guy. The interesting thing about Play Misty For Me is....Clint Eastwood's character isn't this way. He would go out and seduce listeners of his show. So, it is interesting the way that all develops in that film (also, interesting, that Fatal Attraction stole a bunch of things from that movie, including the suicide attempt, ref. to Madame Butterfly....and there was no lawsuit. Especially when there are lawsuits over things like My Sweet Lord, and those sound like completely different songs to me!)— January 27, 2008 11:44 a.m.
