Shotski!
A friend of mine gave Marlee Matlin a ride on his motorcycle once. We've heard about women on motorcycles "enjoying" the vibrations of the engine being transmitted up through the seat. So you pointing out how the deaf are sensitive to the bass made me wonder, just how much did Marlee enjoy that ride? Did he have to treat the leather after she "got off"?— September 23, 2009 4:14 p.m.
My husband is slowly falling in love with San Diego
It seems to me Ms. Braun wants to blame SD for not living up to her expectations, when she should be blaming herself for her life. You're the one who chose to move away from your family. You're the one who chose to live in a neighborhood you didn't enjoy. San Diego has many neighborhoods, all with their own flavor. Look around. It seems you blame the weather for the boredom in your own life. If you need the weather to entertain you, you truly do live in the wrong place. You're also the one who decided to have three kids on one income, Ms. Braun. Lack of money leads to living arrangements sucking. As you said " I try to come up with an inventory of my skills. I have none." If you have no money you live with the losers. Finish school and get a decent job. You will find life more enjoyable. People like you and PistolPete truly annoy me. Pete gets annoyed by Charger fans in SD supporting their team. What do you expect them to do Pete? YOU'RE IN SD! People here love THEIR city and support THEIR teams. The only difference between them and you is they are HOME. As I've said before, if where you came from is so much better, and all you can do is bit&% about SD, GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM! Seriously. Nobody is twisting your arm trying to get you to stay. GET THE F*#& OUT!— September 23, 2009 4:04 p.m.

Single, here's a bit of irony for you. I've thought before after reading your blogs that I'd like to meet you, but chances are YOU wouldn't be interested in ME, because I'm "just not your thing". People are visual. Physical attraction is important, and that all comes down to taste. Don't take it personally. Refried once again your comments are the best part of a thread: " A man, surely, can whisper into your ear a scandalous confession of his feelings for you, a longing to hold you that makes your hair seem to rise, the shivers in the spine are uncontrollable. No man can do that to me, but the right one can do that to you."Or....... You sit, sipping a fruity rum drink when he comes over, barely able to stand, and falls incidentally into the seat across from you. He gazes into your eyes, his are bloodshot and unable to focus. Suddenly, he vomits uncontrollably to one side, coughs, and washes his mouth out with vodka and swallows. Then he leans into your space, smelling like nothing you ever thought you would have to endure, grabs your hair and shouts into your ear above the music which is not nearly as loud as he thinks it is. "Baby, you are so effing hot. Wanna come with me? We'll go back to my trailer and get naked! Yeeah, baby!" Awesome.— September 23, 2009 2:50 a.m.

If Elsabio falls in the forest, does he make a sound?— September 23, 2009 12:42 a.m.
¡Viva Mexico!
I researched this once out of curiosity, and people came up with different answers. It depends on many factors: the angle the bullet is fired from, the muzzle velocity of the bullet, air resistance, etc, but the consensus was that although a falling bullet could theoretically kill you, it's much more likely to just leave a bruise.— September 22, 2009 5:01 p.m.

I'm looking for an affordable place to live. I think you just gave me an idea.— September 22, 2009 4:54 p.m.
Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is
Elsabio: "When Americans come to Mexico to live, they for the most part live separate from the people in cloistered communities, paying high prices just because they can, driving up property values as has been the case in the US. This makes it difficult for Mexicans to buy or rent properties in their own land. This tendency is mostly in other parts of Baja and mainland Mexico. But it is rude to move to a country and to not be willing to live among the common people as they live. But the term of endearment, "the ugly American" is not without precedent..." It's ironic, because as you refer to the "ugly American" I'm struck with the thought that you sound like the the American who complains about Mexicans coming to America, taking jobs and driving down wages, not learning to speak english, staying within the culture they're familiar with, not, as you say "living among the common people as they live". But that can't be right since we're all racists and "ugly Americans" right? You wouldn't be doing the same thing would you?— September 22, 2009 4:51 p.m.
Put Me in Coach, I'm Ready to Play...
I remember after the conclusion of passing league one year we had a party at the offensive coordinators house, beer provided. At the time I thought it was cool. Now not so much.— September 18, 2009 3:03 a.m.
Walking and Chewing Gum at the Same Time
So if the coach was telling the truth about the gum, what else were the old folks telling the truth about? Will we really get our arms chopped off if we hang them out the window? Will I really go blind if I......never mind.— September 18, 2009 3 a.m.
