Salad a Casualty
This sucks! I'm glad we got to experience the 'original' Caesar at least once, as well as the tableside guac.— September 16, 2009 2:03 p.m.
Insidious Infections
PS: Roy Porter is the best author on the history of medicine, and microbes in particular.— September 16, 2009 1:46 p.m.
Insidious Infections
True, bardo, within reason. You don't want to go around lapping the linoleum. And if you have an overtaxed or weakened immune system, you know you shouldn't offer your table-neighbor that sip of wine, no matter how table-neighborly you feel :(— September 16, 2009 1:45 p.m.
Hurricane El
Yeah, he is a very cool dude. Last year he took my cousin up in a Cessna, and 'buzzed' a friend's house, also dropping unopened cans of Bud into their swimming pool. Hoot was on that show "Are you as smart as a 5th grader?" and got all the way to the million dollar question--to flub it. I'm not much good at math, but was sitting at home screaming factors of 28 and 42, or the like. The mill would have gone toward a training center for astronaut hopefuls; he was able to give them 25k--not bad for an evening of being embarrassed by a 5h grader. Anna's on the right track at least with research and asking good questions, but I hope she graduates to cuter conspiracy theories :)— September 16, 2009 4:06 a.m.
Hurricane El
Anna confessed, via her pater: "...she informed me the other day that, under no circumstances, does she believe that man actually landed on the moon." I know two astronauts who can verify not only that we landed on the moon, but that a husband and wife team can land a mission together! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Gibson I was a naive twenty year-old when I first met Hoot and Rae, his MD astronaut wife at a family dinner. I had the complete audacity to bring up Carl Sagan, to their great amusement, and my cousins' chagrin ;) Btw, refried, it is his brother I'm consulting about the position I mentioned. Will get back to you on that soon as he--Gibby--writes back.— September 16, 2009 12:46 a.m.
Oxygenated Septuagenarian Robber
Ma...gramps got out of his room again! The first septuagenarian with oxygen tank just THIS YEAR? What's going on over at Casa Manana?— September 15, 2009 10:35 p.m.
Board-domme
Ah, but the kind of trouble I start is delicious! (Especially with lime :)— September 15, 2009 4:59 p.m.
San Diego local pedicab drivers vs. foreign students
Fixed: are a little off mark :)— September 15, 2009 3:02 p.m.
San Diego local pedicab drivers vs. foreign students
whyigota, you make some valid points, but they a little off mark for this situation, and it is best-- as always-- to look ahead at what we can do to fix it. Ponzi's got this issue sewn. Thanks!— September 15, 2009 2:53 p.m.
Chocolate cars in Tijuana
Wow, I came to comment, and found a comment for me. Thanks for the compliment and the support :) Another fun piece. "I'm now talking about the world. Not just Tijuana. I feel an outrageously libelous, left-wing, militant rant about to spew forth from my BiC -" C'mon, let loose, Rangel! :)— September 15, 2009 3:25 a.m.
