The Anti-Sonic Burger
Well, you waited almost 4 months, Visduh, and I guess you 'could' have kept waiting, but I'll take that #100 snarf, assuming somebody doesn't beat me to it. Sonic is so popular because it ROCKS! At least, in other states it does. However, I have noted repeatedly that even chains that are good in other states SUCK out here. Haven't tried a California Sonic yet. Perhaps I'll have to make a pilgrimage to one. http://www.sonicdrivein.com/home.jsp#/menu— March 30, 2010 8:22 p.m.

This list of the world's 100 largest yachts has the "Ocean Victory" at #56, SP. http://www.liveyachting.com/the-top-100-superyach… (Here's the clip, if you don't wanna scroll.) "YACHT NUMBER (56) OCEAN VICTORY: 248’6” (75.75M) Boat Builder:- Feadship (De Vries), Holland, 2008 Information on the superyacht owner, country, price, designer etc:- The Makkum yard built this classic Feadship, now one of the largest yachts to be launched by the Dutch builder. Among the onboard amenities are a heated contra-flow swimming pool, a 12-seat cinema, a beach platform and an LED system that bathes the decks in the colors of the rainbow. Alberto Pinto and Laura Sessa designed the interior for a Russian owner." (I did see info that indicated the Russian owner sold it to another undisclosed party last year.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE4CdB2bQWc&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnuYpN8I3n4 As far as I can tell, it's not available, SP. Bummer. And almost as sad, Number 89 on the list went on the auction block in Grand Cayman today. http://www.rbauction.com/theapoise/auction-detail… Ya just missed it. So close...— March 30, 2010 8 p.m.
Bicyclists’ Demise
"My rule of thumb is this- stay on the sidewalk..." I absolutely do this as well. Unlike many cyclists (who seem to think they're invincible with their little helmets that apparently aren't protecting much on the inside), I'm aware that I'm just a squishy little thing that it doesn't take much to kill. Bicycles are not cars. They don't accelerate like cars, they slow down auto traffic, and they don't offer their riders protection as a car does. A little common sense recognition of simple facts like this would go a long way in California. Sidewalk cycling certainly doesn't work in areas of high density pedestrian traffic, but in most cases, it's perfectly possible to simply move all the way to one side to pass the occasional pedestrian. As for even rarer blind spots, I slow to a crawl and hug the inside. Agree completely with #3. Bike lanes are great and should be a priority. But where there's not one, cyclists should stay out of the street and stop creating a hazard to themselves and others by trying to mingle with cars.— March 30, 2010 7:21 p.m.

I'm pretty sure at least one of us knows this chick: http://www.switchedonmag.com/images/cellzom.gif "Sure I'm all dead, AND my mouth's sewed shut. But I can still TEXT and TWEET! BOO-YAH!! ROTFLMAO." (I don't believe her about the ROTFLMAO, for a couple of reasons: a.)she just doesn't look like a happy person, b.)as noted, her mouth's sewn shut.) Other captions? Anyone? Anyone?— March 30, 2010 6:53 p.m.
White Girl
Well 'I' don't have any problem with this piece at all, KariAnn. Sounds like an honest report of your experiences and a genuine intention to do some good. No idea why other commentors are all up in your jock. (Well, yeah, I do have some idea, but I won't bother with a trip down that dead-end street.) Careful on that bus. San Diego's not Oakland or Richmond, but things can get hinky anywhere there are humans wandering about at will. A li'l pepper spray never hurt nobody. :)— March 30, 2010 2 p.m.

Re #25: It's Le Kitteh pictured in my avatar, nanners. That would be Miss Olivia, who is nestled comfortably on my lap as I type this with hands that 'should' be petting her, as far as she's concerned. :)— March 29, 2010 5:47 p.m.
