Porn producers eager to flee LA after passage of Measure B
Look out, San Diego County--Vivid Studios (et al) my be coming at us LIVE AND SLEAZY! (The final three words are the title of a Village People album, by the way.) Or perhaps, since the folks in LA County like hedonism...it's up the old 101 to San Francisco to set up shop (let the folks in Sausalito and Tiberoun get all the migraines dealing with "Shaw Brothers Part Two"). Oh, well--So Be It! --RKJ— November 8, 2012 4:16 p.m.
Robbiebear's In Love!
http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/aug/2… This my ladylove Pam, In who I am well pleased! --LPR— August 22, 2012 11:49 a.m.
My new ladylove and I--we take a great picture, no?
In case you are wondering... The lady's name is Pam B. She and I have been friends since 1993. We both live here at Mike and Suzanne's (she lives in the North House, I still live in the South House). She's a retired RN--and gives GREAT back rubs (one way to my heart)! And, yes, looks like Cupid's Arrow finally tracked me down! --LPR— August 14, 2012 12:42 p.m.
Signs of the Times
It's easier for folks to show hate than it is for them to be civil towards each other. For they are devotees of the fruit that grows from The Weed Of Mean...never realizing that as they take another mouthful, that fruit is not nourishing them, but slowly killing them as the vitriol eats away at their souls and hearts. Yet, they still partake of it--it does taste sweet when, as with revenge, it's taken chilled. Yet the sweetness is like the sweetness of antifreeze--a warning that your demise is on the horizon. --LPR— May 30, 2012 3:31 p.m.
What is the Constitutional Oversight Posse?
The COP, eh? Just finished reading your entry--I hope you are prepared to see your movement go up in smoke. Your "organization" sounds like yet another anti-Obama Tea Party clone that may have it's day, but in the end, will go the way of all such groups...overtaken by events. For if Obama loses to Romney, will you be going after Mitt and whomever he appoints as Attorney General with the same vigor? You might also remember that even if Obama wins, he'll just be a one-term president--if somebody doesn't cap him first. And who's to say that Holder may be AG if Obama wins in November? Besides, putting House Speaker Boehner "on notice" (and the President Pro Tem of the Senate, who is in charge of the Senate when Vice President Biden is not) regarding anything isn't that smart to begin with. Frankly, Boehner is part of YOUR wing of the GOP, am I correct (plus he's up for re-election this year)? Frankly, sir, your "patriotism" is nothing short of what Oscar Wilde called "A virtue of the vicious"--a trait shared by your fellow "true believers" in the Tea Party and other like-minded groups. Your entry merely proved Wilde's point entirely. From where I sit, your vitriol towards Barack Obama and his Administration has little to do with patriotism--and entirely with a personal vendetta about the "wrong man" being elected President. The fact that many share your viewpoint shows how far this issue has divided the nation. You and your kind no more represent We The People than the ACLU represents all American liberals (for the record, I do not belong to the ACLU, and to neither political party as well. I am an Independent, if you must know). In the end, you only represent yourself and your beliefs. You may have others in your life who believe as you do--which is good. However, do not try to insinuate that you and your kind represent The American People as a whole. For you most certainly do not. Having said my say, I bid you Good Day! --RKJ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/3…— May 30, 2012 3:22 p.m.
Seattle Moviegoer Charged with Knocking Out Noisy Ten-Year-Old's Tooth
No need to take the law into your hands here. Just call in the usher, who will call in the manager to deal with this ill-mannered cretin. While the man does county time (as he must for striking a minor), the minor needs to learn a lesson as well--as in a year's banishment from the theater at the least. --LPR— May 23, 2012 4:14 p.m.
An Unwanted Break--But Now I'm Home!
They let YOU back on this website? Now I know that the world's a frigging Motor City Madhouse! Good to see ya back, buddy! --LPR— May 8, 2012 5:17 p.m.
For Easter: Chicks?
The same is true with any potential pet you have your eyes on. They may look cute now--but be prepared to spend up to decades caring for the newest family member. Pets are like kids--if you cannot make the committment, do not adopt! Otherwise, it's Heartbreak City for all hands! --RKJ— April 1, 2012 7:38 a.m.
Judas Priest, Black Label Society, and Thin Lizzy -- 10/19/11 at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre
So long, lads...gonna miss the Priest Beast as it struts into the sunset. But, with over forty years in studio and road-time? All good things do come to an end. --RKJ— October 12, 2011 12:32 p.m.
Back for the umpteenth time
My prayers are with you, Beverly--at least you are in St. Vinne's! --LPR— August 30, 2011 7:19 p.m.
