Teachers and Bumper Stickers
I've blogged about teachers before. It was a similar story that has popped up again on some of the cable shows, about a woman that was involved in pornography. There are complaints now of her working with kindergarten kids. When …
Benjamin Button Bazooka Blast
Okay, well, I lied. It wasn't a bazooka. It was a .38 caliber handgun. And, hey...I might exaggerate a title to get people to log on and read the blog. But it's worse what they do on TV. In the …
Lowlifes and Lowriders (an airplane drunk and a lowrider)
A few things on CNN Headline News today, that got me thinking about the law. Okay, who am I kidding, I'm always thinking about it. For some reason, I'm fascinated by all the crap that goes on with our legal …
Signs on the Road
I was driving home tonight, and saw a sign coming south bound on the 163. It was a few miles before hitting Friars, and it said "caution -- right lanes prepare to stop." It was after midnight, and I assumed …
Life Cycle -- Lance Armstrong Gets Woman Pregnant!
Some fun sports things I thought about blogging on. The Lakers getting revenge against the Celts on Christmas day. It reminded me of being in high school, and watching all those Magic Johnson led Lakers teams (on a side note: …
Weird Stories in North County
Okay...well, the stories didn't happen in the north county. I was just at my folks having a Christmas dinner, with a fever. At one point I went into their huge bathtub and just soaked my body for an hour, trying …
Commercials -- Part II
I was talking to my mom the other day, and she did what she does fairly often. She tells me about a video she saw on America's Funniest Videos, or whatever that show is called. (on a side note...who hosts …
Burger Commercials
I remember as a kid watching TV commercials. Remote controls were still a relatively new item, and since you had to get up to change the channel, you just watched the channel you had on. Some commercials were fun. The …
Correcting People
I know people that are a lot worse than me at correcting people that are wrong. But, that doesn't mean what I do is right. It just means I'm not as bad as I could be. If I'm speaking with …
Crazy Guys Throwing Punches
A few stories in the LA Times last week I found interesting. A former NBA player, who is now coaching Mississippi, punched a cab driver. Any guess as to what he said while he was punching the cab driver? Let's …
Dear Abby -- Best Friends and Talking with a Mouthful
In Dear Abby the other day, someone wrote about their best friend from college, and how this woman now lives in another part of the country. She married a man that this letter writer doesn't like. She says, "He is …
Lame Names in Lyrics
I don't usually think about what I'll blog during the day. It isn't until right before I go to bed and I log onto the computer. I was coming home from racquetball tonight, and some AM station was talking about …
Top 50 Movie Characters
Antigeekness posted on my blog from the other day, about the top 50 movie characters. A morning radio show had the list, from a movie magazine. Before I even looked at the list, I mentioned the problem I was going …
Only Women Bleed -- A Lady Stabs Herself
I always liked that Alice Cooper song (nicely covered by Helen Reddy, too). He once said in an interview that it came out the same year as McCartney's "My Love", and his song was banned. Sir Paul's wasn't (even though …
Headhunters
I finished a few games of racquetball last night with one of the guys I play regularly with. We're in the sauna and he tells me that someone killed themself with a chainsaw. He said "Apparently, you can decapitate yourself …
Sleeping During Nine Inch Nails
I went to see Nine Inch Nails in Las Vegas. It was strange, because their new drummer had contacted me about doing a story on him. I called back saying I would. And then I didn't hear anything. I had …
Top 25 Movies of the Year
Someone emailed me a list of film critic Richard Roeper's top 25 movies of the year. Now that Roeper and Ebert are no longer doing the reviews on TV, I'm not familiar with what he's been up to. The column …
Judging Teachers
I was in L.A. a few days ago and read an interesting story. It was about a Judge named Alex Kozinski. He's one of the highest ranking and most intellectually respected federal judges (at least, that's what the story said). …
