And in this corner....Check Mate!
By Josh Board - July 23, 2008, 12:30 a.m.
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 a single person talked. Not a single cell phone went ...

Drumming is my Madness
By Josh Board - July 22, 2008, 1:59 a.m.
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 what that means...the crazies were out. The crazy drummers, that ...

Thanksgiving in July & Free Throw Records Lie
By Josh Board - July 21, 2008, 12:57 a.m.
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 after ever few shots, she would take a drink, too. ...

The N Word
By Josh Board - July 20, 2008, 1:52 a.m.
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 actually can speak proper English, that has you so rattled. ...

Stupid Skydivers
By Josh Board - July 19, 2008, 2:44 a.m.
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 that does it once because they want to experience the ...

Commercials, Logos, and who Tony Gwynn Counts on.
By Josh Board - July 18, 2008, 2:02 a.m.
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 friend of mine that's a cop saw him at a ...

100 Best Movie Villians
By Josh Board - July 17, 2008, 1:27 a.m.
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. Lame. Also on the list was Goldfinger. Again, lame pick. ...

C is for Cookie (and cocaine)
By Josh Board - July 16, 2008, 12:53 a.m.
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 would bring us cookies or donuts in the morning. There ...

Miss Universe
By Josh Board - July 15, 2008, 1:18 a.m.
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. Are these women taking dives? If this were an Olympic ...

The Name Game: Angelina Jolie's Latest Kid
By Josh Board - July 14, 2008, 1:17 a.m.
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 like, 10 kids. I think she was trying to set ...

It's Not Unusual To File False Rape Charges
By Josh Board - July 13, 2008, 11:15 a.m.
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 him and asked if he'd call her. She had seen ...

The Ramsey Case
By Josh Board - July 11, 2008, 7:57 a.m.
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 were alive to hear these results. A few of my ...

Jessie's Girl Song Parody
By Josh Board - July 10, 2008, 2:51 a.m.
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 you are waiting to be interviewed, and you have a ...

King of Documentaries
By Josh Board - July 9, 2008, 10:29 a.m.
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 was one of those movies where the commercial looks a ...

Bring The Noize
By Josh Board - July 8, 2008, 10:16 a.m.
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. on a Saturday morning, I don't mind. We both agree, ...

WARNING: This blog contains gripes about -- The Sprinter, Gas Prices, and Warning Labels
By Josh Board - July 7, 2008, 1:01 a.m.
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 Marcos for a year now. And, the Sprinter is finally ...

Athletes and Actors in the News
By Josh Board - July 6, 2008, 11:49 a.m.
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. But ya know what? I think people that do the ...

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
By Josh Board - July 5, 2008, 12:57 a.m.
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 look. It was highlights from the hot dog eating contest. ...

Two Idiots -- Rush Limbaugh & Brett Favre
By Josh Board - July 4, 2008, 1:46 a.m.
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 on anything. Even if you're a Republican, you really have ...

Coffee & Cops
By Josh Board - July 3, 2008, 1:43 a.m.
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 his gun and shot the guy? In my eyes, it ...
