The Price to Throw a Party
When I turned 30 years back, I had a 60s theme party. Since I was born in 1969, I thought that would be cool (I'm writing about a 60s party in a few weeks for the Crasher column...I wore the …
Two Baby Stories -- Which is weirder
Gwen Stefani, of No Doubt fame, named her kid. No doubt, it was a crappy name. It's what celebrities do. Her first child with Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale, was named Kingston. Not sure if they were fans of the …
Michael Phelps Falls
I heard a sports show talking about all this backlash on Michael Phelps. It's really insane. The dude just won 8 gold medals in the Olympics, and people are talking all this smack. First, there's that Amanda Beard. Rumors are …
Caylee Case...and Roman Polanski in Paris
I really tried to avoid the Caylee case. I usually get into these things. But I've found that the legal system is so messed up, it frustrating me. For example, a boy disappeared in Balboa Park. The stepfather or boyfriend …
Bumper Stickers
As a kid, I remember plastering my bedroom door with stickers. I think all kids love stickers. But it was when my stepdad took me to the mechanic with him at around age 11, and the guy at the shop …
Tropic Thunder Controversies
The Reader had a movie screening for Tropic Thunder, which I snuck into. I was glad I did, too. It was good, but not great. And those are the movies you don't want to drop $22 to see. When I …
The Olympics
I don't really follow the Olympics closely. I love sports, just not big into the Olympics. I always hear things that I find interesting or odd. That they were getting rid of baseball, and womens softball. Yet...I see they still …
Get a Life -- An Autograph Blog
I write a column for Autograph Magazine, which is available monthly at your local newsstand. And, if it's not, demand they get it! My friends often ask me questions about which celebrities are nice, which are mean. When I do …
Used Cars
A friend of mine owns a used car lot in Escondido called "Dig's Wheels". The first time I was there talking to him, I was amazed at how he didn't push customers when they came onto his lot. A guy …
Movie Critics
I really can't figure movie critics out. They baffle me. The movie Step Brothers is getting bad reviews. Now, I hate Will Ferrell more than anyone. I'm just tired of his same old routine, movie after movie. But, I couldn't …
Dear Ardith
Okay...I hate to blog again about a Dear Abby. But this just got me thinking on so many different subjects. Somene sent Abby a letter about her husband and her expecting their first child. The names they picked are: Ethan …
Dear Abby
It's weird how people that are intelligent and can give good advice, can often be idiots. Listen to Dr. Laura for any length of time and see what I mean. She'll get mad at callers for the weirdest things. It …
Car Repairs for a PT Cruiser
Well, I really played it bad with my car. I bought my 2001 PT Cruiser when it was a year old. I loved those things. And, the guy I bought it from did all this fancy stuff to it. He …
Do Religious Folks Get the SHAFT?
I wasn't sure what I'd blog about today. There was the fascinating story about Mathew McConaughey naming his son Levi. But, it always angers a few people when I make fun of babies. Even though, I'm actually helping the babies …
Picking a Movie to See
My girlfriend and I have already seen Batman. Twice. She's into comic book films, so we had to see it in Imax (which, for either of us, we couldn't tell the difference). I won't get into what I thought of …
Worst Songs of All Time
On KGBs morning show, they did a list of the Top 10 worst songs. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the list. Here it is, with my comments after each song: Who Let The Dogs Out …
Subway Sandwich Shenanigans
A few weeks ago, there was a story about a guy that got his Subway sandwich home and there was a knife in it. This was all over the news and the thing I kept thinking is "The guy is …
Would You Clone a Booger?
Just typing that title, made me think of a great episode of WKRP in Cinncinati. Dr. Johnny Fever was angry at a previous station firing him from saying the word "booger" on the air. Oh, how times have changed with …
Jake and the Fat Man's Execution
I always thought it was funny to have a show called "Jake and the Fat Man." Imagine the actor getting the script sent to him. He likes it. He calls the studio up and says "This is a well-written show. …
Lawn Mower Man
Sometimes I'll read a weird story in the paper, and I'll try to remember it for a future blog. I end up forgetting about 'em, and they sometimes end up in the News of the Weird. A few weeks back, …
