Street Smart
PP spasmed: "I always thought off ramps led to the highway and on ramps led to surface streets." Off means on, and on means off. Same with yes and no: "No mister, we don't have access to more cash," says the terrified Hardees register operator. "Yes, you do," snarls PP, brandishing the knife. Cops enter and draw guns. "Freeze, idiot!" "No, leave me alone!" yells the kidnapped woman, struggling to get out of PP's car. "Ah, ya know ya want it," smirks PP, pulling back a ham hock to slap her silly. Cops enter and draw guns. "Freeze, idiot!" Later in prison: "I thought the buzzer meant to leave my cell," snivels PP. "Never mind, you big hunk of pork. Let's just have a talk, man-to-man, right here in the showers."— August 29, 2009 1:07 p.m.

El Cajon no-smoking law flouted
re:#7: kstwk, I do not agree that we smokers should be impolite--if all parties are polite and accommodating, the issue gets resolved and we live in peace. I have found that non-smokers are surprised and very appreciative when they see that I do not litter cigarette butts, and if smoking near them, I ask if my smoke bothers them, so I can put it out or move away. You'd be amazed at how many people wave me away, thanking me for my consideration. The "cough," the glare, and the rude comments melt away, and I generally enjoy a big smile from such nonsmokers. re: #9: tokapanative, let's stick to the facts we can substantiate. As our environment erodes, there are more children than ever with asthmatic conditions from birth. If we were smoking indoors with these children, or right next to them, yes, that would be a problem. We are not discussing this kind of situation; even the few irate smokers writing in here, such as the "free hugs" guy, are admitting that they will certainly move away from children outdoors. Thank you for your concern over our health issues, too, but you have no right to regulate them at this time.— August 28, 2009 1:36 p.m.

"It's been fifteen years but I can still remember her singing Doris Day and Vicente Fernandez songs while patting the meat and rice balls together." Hey, write it down, John. You've got a great eye for detail, and could rock out an excellent food story. I think a piece on food and how we relate through food is where I need to go next, too.— August 27, 2009 11:27 p.m.
