The Cross Controversy
I've been asked my opinion on the cross atop Mount Soledad. Okay, well, that's kind of an exaggeration. I have been asked. But only a few times over the last year. Among my friends, nobody cares all that much about …
Comic Con III -- The Final Episode
I had it in my mind that I would do 3 different blogs on Comic-Con. Since I went on 3 different days, and enough interesting stuff happened on those days. Well, okay, maybe not all that interesting. But enough to …
Comic Con II - The Wrath of Tori Amos' People
So I return to this geek fest the following day. I wanted to meet Tori Amos, a singer/pianist that I love. I couldn't believe people were paying $175 for her leather bound book called "Comic Book Tattoo." I bought the …
A Gathering of Geeks at Comic Con
Comic-Con is such a weird event. And yeah, I can make fun of the geeks that go there, even though I went. My excuse is...I get a press pass for free. And, I usually have friends that are there I …
Cop Shooting at Gay Pride
When police officers do stupid stuff, I'll be the first one to reem them. Although I had no problem with that Charger being shot, I thought that Coronado police officer did about five things wrong, and shouldn't be allowed to …
Bale out on Bail, and a Former Bad Boy is Bad Again
The WNBA is actually pretty pathetic. It's a level of basketball that is unenjoyable to watch. Women often miss lay-ups and easy shots. A woman might dunk the ball every five years. I played a game against some WNBA players …
And in this corner....Check Mate!
It's not hard coming up with a topic for a blog each day. Usually it's something I want to complain about. But sometimes life surprises me. I went to see the new Batman movie and in a packed theatre, not …
Drumming is my Madness
Again, the title has little to do with this blog. It was the name of a crappy Ringo Starr album I had as a kid. At Black's Beach in La Jolla last Friday night, it was a full-moon. You know …
Thanksgiving in July & Free Throw Records Lie
I went to a Thanksgiving in July party over the weekend. I'll be writing about it in a future Crasher. There was a woman named Sandy that was smoking a guy at a game of Horse. It was funny, because …
The N Word
Can someone explain to me why Jesse Jackson is allowed to talk? First, the guy can't speak proper English. He'll say things like "Barrack be talking down to...." and I want to say "Really? Maybe it's the fact that Obama …
Stupid Skydivers
What's the phrase for that? Oxymoron? It's almost 3:00 a.m. and I just got home from the Grand Old Party show at the Casbah. I'm not thinking straight. Really, anyone that skydives is stupid. I'm not talking about a person …
Commercials, Logos, and who Tony Gwynn Counts on.
Advertising is such a weird thing. I heard a commercial today, and Tony Gwynn was saying he always counts on El Cajon Ford. The funny thing is, I once saw him on the I-5 in a black Mercedes. And, a …
100 Best Movie Villians
On KGBs morning show they talked about the 10 best villians. I forgot who initially put out the list, but it was horribly done. The number one villian (drum roll)...well, I can't even spell it. Some character from Harry Potter. …
C is for Cookie (and cocaine)
I was doing the Off the Cuff question today for a future Reader. And this woman told a funny story about leaving cookies on doorsteps and running away. It got me thinking about when I worked in radio, and listeners …
Miss Universe
I didn't watch the Miss Universe. But, I saw the highlights on Sportscenter or one of those channels. The woman from USA slipped and fell. This is now the second year in a row that the USA woman has fallen. …
The Name Game: Angelina Jolie's Latest Kid
I knew something wasn't right in Jolie's head when she hooked up with Billy Bob. Then she got his name inked everywhere, kept his blood around her neck, made out with her brother at an awards show, and she adopted …
It's Not Unusual To File False Rape Charges
I was up in L.A. partying with Tom Jones for a few days, so I missed a blog. If you think I'm lying, ask my mom. There was a point around 11:00 p.m. yesterday I handed my cell phone to …
The Ramsey Case
I haven't read the paper this morning, so I don't know much about the new DNA evidence. I just heard on CNN, that it points to an unknown person. I also heard Ramsey talking about how he wishes his wife …
Jessie's Girl Song Parody
I was gone all day. The few times I turned on the a.m. stations in my car, I heard a lot of controversy about Jesse Jackson and some things he said about Obama. The first idiotic thing about this is...if …
King of Documentaries
I went and saw the Hunter S. Thompson documentary last night. It was a bit disappointing. I always thought Thompson was a bit overrated as a "gonzo" journalist. But when I saw commercials for the movie, it looked great. It …
Bring The Noize
I don't mind noise the way some people do. My stepbrother hates it so much, that he can't stand being in his house when a neighbor is mowing the yard. Unless a neighbor is mowing their yard at 7:00 a.m. …
WARNING: This blog contains gripes about -- The Sprinter, Gas Prices, and Warning Labels
A few things popped into my mind as I sat down to write this blog. First, I keep seeing stories about mass transit and how more people will be using it with gas prices going up. I've lived in San …
Athletes and Actors in the News
I'm always mad at myself for being fascinated by the stories I am regarding athletes. For example, I was giddy with excitement, that a loser like Terrence Kiel, that former Charger, died in a car crash. That might sound harsh. …
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
I was at a small 4th of July party. The big screen TV was on and someone glanced over and yelled "Oh gross!" Which means, even though we were all stuffing burgers and steaks in our faces, we had to …
Two Idiots -- Rush Limbaugh & Brett Favre
Rush Limbaugh and Brett Favre are both idiots. But there are a lot of differences between the two of them. Limbaugh is out of shape. And, has no talent. I'm not saying that because I don't agree with his views …
Coffee & Cops
Someone sent me a photo that showed former Charger Steve Foley being held back by his mother in the court room, as the cop that shot him walked in. How funny would it have been if the bailiff then drew …
More Craziness in the News
It's funny, because when I sit down to blog something, a lot of topics jump to mind. My friend emailed me something that showed video of the best swimsuit photos of all-time. I clicked the first one, that showed Halle …
Don't Mess With Texas
I was getting ready for bed last night and turned on CNN just in time to see that the idiot that shot those two burglars is not going to be charged. Wait...maybe I got that wrong. Maybe he was charged, …
