Amy Wallen Will Give You Crickets
Joycelyn, The Buick story was great. I did feel bad I didn't stay to the very end, because I understand Amy read her story near the end. I would've liked to have heard it. I once heard her read a short story about a child that found a finger and brought it to a science fair. It was outstanding. Although, one thing I did find odd about it all. Sometimes she would try to "one up" the people that did their stories. Maybe when you're hosting an event, you feel that you have to give the crowd "something" every time you go to the mic.— December 5, 2009 11:06 a.m.
Work Outs, Gumballs, and Game Nazis
Jewcy. That's funny. And Redsox, I understand that doing that stuff in the gym is a lot more motivating, too. Anyone can go out and jog. For free. But doing it in a gym (with the TVs), and other people watching and doing it, inspires you to probably go all out. Or at least put more effort than if you ran in your own neighborhood. Obviously, weather in SD is not a problem. I guess I only object to the stair machines. They look brutal.— December 4, 2009 1:05 a.m.
Anyone famous go to your high school?
There was a second guy I had talked to, who went to school with Ted Williams. Monte: I didn't think Crowe transfered to Clairemont. I had always thought he just registered, a few years after his high school days, to get material (for what became Fast Times at Ridgemont High)— December 3, 2009 6:01 p.m.

Well Z, my mom didn't care for that word. And neither do I. I think it's gross, and it's rarely funny. What I'd tell your mom is...where Beavis & Butthead would giggle and say those words, you are just cleverly telling a story, that is probably exaggerated for humorous punch (much the way David Sedaris makes up half of what he writes -- but we love it anyway).— December 3, 2009 2:57 p.m.
Party Crashing with the President, Car Crashing with Tiger
I heard with more women coming out of the "woods"...Tigers wife is really getting "tee'd" off!— December 3, 2009 2:53 p.m.
Committing Crimes with Kids in Tow
You know what's funny, Pike? When I posted the Jonas Brothers line, I was about to type "New Kids on the Block". Then it occured to me, that that's not a contemporary "boy band". But, I can see Hannah Montana driving around her drunk, one-hit wonder cowboy dad around in a car.— December 2, 2009 8:48 p.m.
Amy Wallen Will Give You Crickets
As great as Beths story was to read, imagine how funny it was hearing her read it, emphasizing just the right parts; the facial expressions...it was an awesome experience.— December 2, 2009 8:43 p.m.
Blessings Few
You nailed it with the Cage movie. You're entertained, but it's really just a mess. Loved the line in Precious review, where you mention the title and "push comes to shove." But please, someone explain critics to me. Why in the world did it need to be mentioned in your review, that she gets HIV from her dad? This comes as a shocker in the movie, when her life finally seems to be going in a more positive direction. And including it in your write-up, adds nothing. It could've easily been left out.— December 2, 2009 4:08 p.m.
Party Crashing with the President, Car Crashing with Tiger
Yeah. And I could just as easily say "Rob". My bad. Well, if you're gonna go Tiger jokes, how about this: The police finally found out why they were out at 2:30 a.m. They were going CLUBBING. or He hit a fire hydrant and a tree. I guess he couldn't decide between a wood and an iron. (I'm here all week, folks)— December 2, 2009 3:59 p.m.
Committing Crimes with Kids in Tow
Yeah, it seems every few years there's a story like that. It's never like in The Champ, were Ricky Schroader just drags his dad out of a bar, let's him put his arms around him, as he helps him stagger home. I wonder, though...if the kid drives, does he get to choose the music? Instead of dads Lynyrd Skynyrd tape, he's got the Jonas Brothers going.— December 2, 2009 3:25 p.m.
