Revenge is best served...like hot pizza
Columnists that suck, and getting revenge on people.
Sometimes it's painful reading other columnists in other cities newspapers. You wonder how they got the gig. My current favorite guy to hate, is this Gene Washington who took over for Dave Barry (who was great). He is funny about …
Vegas Without a Sting Operation
Curious about gambling problems
So, I'm heading to Vegas for the weekend. There's supposed to be a storm. That'll make traffic fun. A guy I play racquetball with, told me his ex-wife had a gambling problem. The woman he's dating now, started going to …
Controversial Carl's Commercial
Why some commercials get banned.
So, Carls Jr. pulled their commercial, where the kids in class do a rap about "flat buns" as an attractive teacher talks about the world being flat. A lot of teachers were upset. I'm not sure why. There are worse …
Writing about writing
Everyone complains about their job. I'm complaining about my music stories that have gotten turned down.
I always get cool jobs. When I was in radio for 5 years, it was free concerts, CDs, and...talking on the radio and being paid. When I was between jobs, and freelance writing, my friend was doing music for Playstation …
OJ Simpson, what else?
OJ Simpson's current plight, and other legal things that pop into my mind.
Okay, so...everyone is sick of talking about the OJ case. Not me. Hell, I was still talking about the last OJ case when this recent scenario hit the airwaves. I think the Palace Station Casino should sell shirts that say …
A Basketball Jones No Longer Jonesing
Competitiveness in sports
Why do adults act like children, when it comes to competing in sports events? And, I won't even get started on when they watch their 8-year-olds play little league. I stopped playing basketball, because of the amount of idiots I'd …
Parking Lot Problems
Grocery Store Parking Lot Problems
So, moving out of the grocery store, and into the parking lot, is a whole other mess. First, let me quickly say...Horton Plaza has spaces for pregnant women. How insane is this? If a woman is in good enough condition …
12 Items or Less, Grocery Store Etiquette Part II
Grocery store problems with customers
I won't even get into the 12 items or less lines. I think that is more the fault of the store employee for not calling the jerk on it, or other people in line. But, I will say, if you …
Shopping Etiquette, volume 1
Commenting on other peoples groceries
I recently grew a beard. I wanted to see how many strands of white hairs I'd have in it. But, when I was shaving recently, I would pick up any kind of disposable razors I saw. I wasn't picky. When …
Old People Suck
Old people being scammed
I was leaving the house today, and heard the newscaster say there was a story coming up on an old person that recently got scammed out of money. Now, am I jerk, since I have no sympathy when this happens? …
Beauty Pagaent Brains
People performing badly in competitions (beauty pagaents), and getting famous from it.
Why does everyone try to justify others stupidity? When that 18 year old Miss Teen was trying to answer that question about a stat that said 1 in 5 Americans can't find the United States on a map, and she …
Van's the Man
My opinion of Van Morrison.
Is there anything greater than hearing Van Morrison on the radio? Oh damn. I started that like one of those lame columns Larry King does, where he has non-sequitars about the stupidest stuff. He'll have a sentence that reads: Is …
Fantasy Football
Documentary and fantasy football ideas.
For the 20th straight year, we had our fantasy football draft. This is the most addictive thing around for football fans. Aside from just having your team (the Chargers) to root for, you now have a bunch of other players …
Bad Drivers
Tossing out cigarettes and traffic.
The amount of things I see on the freeways that bothers me is staggering. And, I'm not even talking about the traffic in San Diego, which is getting to be as bad as L.A. I see people with cigarettes, tossing …
Blogs on Dogs
Neighbors with loud dogs
Aside from all the news on Michael Vick and his dog fighting charges, I read a story in the paper about someone shooting a dog in a backyard at 4:45 a.m. The guy that owned the dog worked for a …
New Movies
Remakes, TV shows, and unoriginal films.
I've seen thousands of movies over the years. And, I probably average two movies a week. The thing I can't figure out is why they make so many bad movies. For example, Hairspray. It's okay. But, was making it even …
DJs on the Radio
A DJ talking about wedding invitations
On the days I wake up early enough to hear a morning show, I tune to 101.5 KGB FM. I think they're usually ranked #2 behind Jeff & Jerr in ratings. J&J can be funny, but they aren't that original, …
Court cases
My arguments with my homies, regarding Michael Vick.
Every time a celebrity is in court, it creates huge arguments among my friends. Surprisingly, not from the few friends I have that are lawyers. The latest two are Phil Spector and Michael Vick. I have friends that want to …
