Beer - Making People Do Stupid Things since 1878!
Oh, alcoholic lite. The "functioning" kind. You did not say that. You firmly stood by "alcoholic". "Is it harsh that I said "alcoholics"? Well, I stand by that. Because, if you need to order some service to keep you from doing something stupid on your computer because you're drunk, maybe you should try putting down the bottle first." "Idiot..." Now that's harsh.— October 15, 2008 1:19 p.m.
Beer - Making People Do Stupid Things since 1878!
"from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., which I'm guessing, is the time most alcoholics consume." Aren't you the Party Crasher?!? The time most alcoholics consume is between the presence of alcohol and consciousness! Question: How old are your editors? Eighty-eleven?— October 15, 2008 10:41 a.m.
No Soup For You, Donovan McNabb. Some for LaDainian Tomlinson, though.
The Geico guys are back! I just saw a new ad last night. After their TV show flopped, they got back in the insurance game! I hate when they (whoever "they" are) fix things that aren't broken. It's like when you get new software at work every six months and the learning curve throws everyone into a panic. WHY?!?!— October 11, 2008 1:59 p.m.
Bauder recommends to go short in San Diego real estate
That was the law for years, #31. Debt relief was indeed a taxable incident. Because lenders wrote off the loss as a credit to them, there needed to be a corresponding debit on the homeowner's part to offset it. IRS rules. Who knows what applies now. It seems to change daily. Bottom line though is that if you are not making your mortgage payments, chances are you will not pay your taxes either. I've also heard that some lenders are not 1099 homeowners for fear of bad faith claims.— October 11, 2008 1:36 p.m.
Native Tongue
I'm not sure why, but this column reminded me of when I was 12 or 13 and we used to stage-wreck our bikes. My friend Colleen and I would turn our bikes over and lay on the ground next to them, right down to spinning the wheel so it looked like it just happened. When a horrified motorist would come to a screeching stop, we would grab our bikes and take off. They would stand there, shocked, and then realize we had pulled a fast one on them. Just enough time to get away. The looks on their faces was priceless.— October 11, 2008 1:14 p.m.

I did not have relations with that man. "Barf analogies?" I am teared up. It was f***in' beautiful, man.— October 9, 2008 10:46 p.m.

I have read that story twice, and just now a third time. One of the best Reader contributions EVER. Enjoy Spain!— October 6, 2008 12:20 p.m.
Reaching Nirvana at the Wonderland Coin Laundry
Great story! Goaltender, the peninsula is for all of us to share and we are lucky to live here. People such as yourself want to keep OB crappy so you can live in paradise cheaply.— October 5, 2008 12:08 p.m.
Love in the War Zone
we boycott and say, "Somebody break their windows! My rent just went up!" "I wanted to bring something good and solid and stable to this chaotic corner," You contradict yourself. I live in Point Loma and love OB. Don't be so quick to voice your "disdain" for your neighbors. And if you want to bring something "good" how about not encouraging your deadbeat friends to break the windows of someone actually DOING good.— October 5, 2008 11:41 a.m.
