No Habla English
If I ever have a son, I will seriously consider naming him William, so that he'll be Bill Board. Hey, he'll develope a sense of humor. It will be like A Boy Named Sue.— November 3, 2007 11:20 a.m.
The Ink is Black. The Page is White. A'ight?
Well, I don't agree with that. Here's the thing. I have no problem with people showing their pride on their car. I have no problem with Christians and their fish. Or people with the Darwin fish. I would like to think, that someone wouldn't have a Confederate flag, because of the negative that's sometimes implied with it. And, I always think you should respect how things will look to others. Not that you should have to cater and be politically correct all the time. But you should at least wonder how things will look and sound to others. I have no problem with February being "black history month". I think that's great, and lots can be learned. If someone wants "pride", well, what would "white" mean? Are you proud of Ireland? Are you Irish? Are you having "European" pride? And, "white pride" and phrases like that, just sound so "skin head/kkk". I have NO PROBLEM with people showing pride in their ancestory. The ONLY THING I have a problem with, is making fun of some races, and not others. Either it's all open to discuss, or none of it is.— November 3, 2007 11:18 a.m.
The Ink is Black. The Page is White. A'ight?
Sorry about all this Tina. I did not, in any way, want to imply that you were "racist". In fact, I'd be willing to bet most people (of any race), feel that same way. I just used it as a springboard into the topic. That a comedian like Chris Rock can get up and say that. They did a Seinfeld on that subject, with Elaine being a horrible dancer. But, if anyone said somebody that was black couldn't do something, like, "Have you ever heard black people speak? They misprounce a lot of words," you'd probably be fired. And, I'm not talking about idiots like Rush Limbaugh or Don Imus. I'm talking more about the sports casters that sometimes get fired, for making observations about differences in race (ie Jimmy the Greek, going back 20 or so years). Now, someones argument to THAT statement would be, "Not all black people talk that way. Listen to Oprah, Denzel, or Condeleeza." At which point, I would wonder, why nobody brings up good white dancers (why is Fred Astaire the only name popping into my head?) Or, I might wonder, why black people have names lke Oprah, Denzel, Condeleeze, Shaquille, Shaniqua, etc. But, making an observation like that, would probably get one fired. Even though, in the recent best seller "Freakanomics", they say having a name like that, makes it harder to get a job, or be accepted into society. And, it's a topic worthy of discussion. But everyone has to walk on egg shells when discussing race. Except, as I pointed out, when it comes to making fun of whites.— November 2, 2007 10 a.m.
Trick or Treat -- For Real This Time.
I remember as a kid...my stepdad, taking us on his delivery route in Mira Mesa, said that some people back at the post office, told stories of kids going into the richer neighborhoods for the candy. But, I don't think that's the norm. I mean, it's really an awful lot of trouble, gas, and everything else. Especially when, the kids are going to hit a lot of houses with nobody home (or nobody answering). They'll have hills, if they're in La Jolla, they're brutal. And, when you can buy candy 1/2 off the day after Halloween at all the stores, and for a quarter a few weeks after Halloween, there's no point in putting that much "work" into getting free candy.— October 31, 2007 1:15 a.m.
The Razors Edge
I never laughed so hard in my life. Awesome list. E=MCmoustache. That should be a rapper with a mustache: MC Mustache. Yeah, Freddie Mercury needed a separate casket just for his 'stache.— October 31, 2007 1:12 a.m.
The Razors Edge
Well, with the mention of Yosemite Sam, I thought about cartoon mustaches. The villian from Rocky & Bullwinkle, Wimpy from Popeye, the Mario Bros, and of course, the thickest of all cartoon characters, Mr. Ned Flanders from the Simpsons. Ya know, the Beatles all grew crappy mustaches. Although, John never had one without his beard, so who knows.— October 30, 2007 11:26 p.m.
The Razors Edge
Legendary mustaches: Best local one: Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers. That handlebar thingy is nuts. It looks great on him. He should've worn a straw hat on the mound, instead of a baseball cap. Actors that look better with them: Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot. Director with thinnest: John Waters (he'd be ugly with or without it). Actor that looked good w/ same mustache: Clark Gable.— October 29, 2007 10:21 p.m.
Not Trick or Treat -- But Trick Plays.
He did it again! This weekend, against Washington. Tom Brady got 5 TDs, his team was killing the 'skins, yet he had to resort to a "trick play" for a TD. This guy is scum.— October 29, 2007 10:19 p.m.
Play With Fire
I was leaving Sea World and stuck at a light, right before getting onto I-5 North. I saw a guy toss his cigarette. I was just about to open my car door and do that, while tossing it back into their car...when I saw a cop a few cars back. I figured he'd give me some kind of ticket, instead of this idiot, so I did nothing. I don't know why cops aren't more hardcore about ticketing these idiots. Or, those trucks that have trash fly out of the back.— October 24, 2007 3:11 p.m.
Idiot Driver (yes, you)
Oh, come on "sdblogger". You're one of those bad drivers, aren't you? If you people would learn how to drive, it would create less road rage, less traffic accidents, less traffic even. Take some classes, or...just pull your head out of you know where.— October 22, 2007 12:45 a.m.
