Nuda Vista?
Ya gotta love those mud flap Barbie silhouettes. Beautifying CV, one truck at a time.— October 27, 2012 8:54 p.m.
Bug mutilates whale
Almost news update: Orca whales have been found to be quite vain, a recent study found. This explains why Nakai is currently recovering from a failed liposuction operation to remove a double chin. The surgery was a rough one, a spokesman explained, because Nakai sought the assistance of other whales, not humans, and they took skin as well as blubber.— October 27, 2012 8:47 p.m.
Jung-Ho Pak announces formation of Orchestra Robotica
Almost news just in: Orchestra Nova has, in the interest of fairness, decided to substitute tickets to "Hits of the '80s" for its disappointed fans who can no longer watch Jung-Ho Pak play on the emotions of the human musicians of Orchestra Nova. CEO Beverly Lambast stated "We know our fans want music, or they wouldn't have turned over their hard-earned cash to us, so it's only fair that we give them the highest quality music available. Everybody knows that the Bee Gees and the Beach Boys are the hottest musicians ever."— October 27, 2012 8:35 p.m.
FLUXX nightclub brings back "meathook chic" for Halloween season
What's this world coming to when a working girl can't hang upside down in the fetish nightclub of her choice without catty comments being made? Is it art or is it porn? Only a Supreme Court Justice knows for sure!— October 27, 2012 8:21 p.m.
ESPN.com investigation links San Diego Charger "chill pills" with blackouts, loss of enthusiasm
It's kinda too late for chill pills once you've covered the back of your car with a big blue and yellow bolt, or had a huge SD tattooed on your own back. The fans would like to see some commitment on the field once every three games, at least. That and maybe a bit less complaining from the management about the state of the stadium.— October 27, 2012 8:11 p.m.
Chula Vista's Tourism Marketing District Director responds
This is so true I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or even what to laugh or cry about. So far as I can tell by the license plates, Chula Vista is getting most of its visitors from south of the border. Its tourists may be day travelers simply shopping for food and trinkets at Food for Less and Walmart, but they're here to spend money nevertheless. Promote tourism in Baja, CV. Meanwhile, adding a little culture to draw tourists in wouldn't be a bad thing, now would it? We don't have to turn the place into another New Orleans or Venice like the picture above, but how about making Chula Vista a bit more chula? For starters, hire local kids to paint murals on blank walls so they don't tag everything in sight. Add in a couple of special events each year, and a theme park or other attraction like Sea World or Legoland.— October 27, 2012 7:51 p.m.
Local Troop Leader for Catholic Boy Scouts Seeks to Start Youth Football Program
This article is utterly bogus, so far as I can tell. Certainly my search engine has never heard of any of the names you mention except for San Diego's Catholic Committee on Scouting, on who's website I found this gem: DAY AT THE SEMINARY Prince of Peace Abbey Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts are invited to tour Prince of Peace Abbey to learn about vocations. The day consist of Mass, a tour of the Abbey, and lunch. It will probably be held in March. For the uninitiated, "learn about vocations" means the seminary gets a chance to pitch the priesthood as a profession to a captive audience of impressionable teenage males. Make up your own joke.— October 27, 2012 7:36 p.m.
More Than the Dish or the Deal
You're right that Cafe Di Roma is a little off the beaten track and you might miss it. I'll have to try it out. It's a bit lacking in atmosphere but maybe the food makes up for it. I have tried Marco's around the corner and down a few blocks on Palm Ave when I was hungry for Italian. I think I saw a sign saying it was founded in the 1960s. This is quite believable since, apart from the carpet, it looks like the same exact dark sleazy bar decor they opened with, and the same Sinatra and Martin music. The food there is good, but the 1960s was not the best era in Italian-American restaurants. Other noteworthy IB establishments are the French guy's pretzel place next to the pier called Pretzels and Much More, the Tin Fish on the pier, Meijo's Japanese restaurant, the West Coast Cafe, and the Beach Club Grille.— October 27, 2012 5:02 p.m.
Imperial Beach Murder Suspect’s Facebook Page Can’t Help
I keep hoping that the news media (the SD Reader in particular) will decide Imperial Beach is worth covering once in a while. But let's not kill each other to get their attention folks, it just isn't worth it.— October 27, 2012 4:44 p.m.
A Man, His Service Dog, and a Parks and Rec Officer
The longer I live the more I am dismayed at the stupid scurrilous scumbags we hire to "enforce" our laws. Since when is a leash required to keep a dog in control? As a matter of fact I have seen more than one unruly dog strong enough to overwhelm the person holding the leash, and leashes and collars too insecure to be trusted. People need to learn how to get their animals to respect them as pack leaders. And pack leaders don't need leashes.— October 27, 2012 4:23 p.m.
