My Kinda Hummer Update: Now With Extra Adorable
So back at the end of May I posted about the tiny Anna’s hummingbird nest my sharp-eyed wife Susan found high up in the laurel tree that spreads over our front yard, and since then I’ve been keeping tabs on the momma as she patiently awaited her chicks’ arrival. Sure enough they busted out of... »
LAPD attacks cyclists in Hollywood
If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe. This information is all just starting to roll in but it seems on Friday night the LAPD swarmed and attacked a group of cyclists on Hollywood Blvd.... »
That ruth666 video -
Ruth666 again, still unable to crack this password problem – still hijacking Frazgo’s account one more time, one way or anther, to post this adorable video, and no I can’t upload it because even after compressing it’s still 11MB. Live a little – click either link – and Bring Some Damned Canned Goods To Canters... »
Its really me…and pickle pron
The Brooklyn Sandwich, with SMOKED Turkey is the bomb-diggettiest. Actually I got in trouble for taking pictures of the pickles. Well whatever. The LA Foodbank box is filling up. REALLY filling up about half way already, the cash box needs a little help. Times are tough I know, but if you got a spare dime... »
(last Ruth666) A cute Canter’s video
It’s the next-best thing to being here! (and yes I’ve already been duly scolded for my comments) ((ACK! Can’t upload the video – will have to do it when I get home and can compress the file first)) »
(still Ruth666) Hey Singing Dude – This is CANTER’s, not Micheli’s
What a scoop! We’re here blogging at Canters, where some dude has broken into song. This ain’t Micheli’s pal – »
(SHHHH!) I’m not Frazgo!
Yikes! Nothing like the Last Days of Metbogs to get all us old glue horses out of retirement to post. It’s been So Long since I posted anything here, though, that I can’t remember my danged password, and even when the system tries to give me a new one I can’t get in. So I knocked Frazgo... »
Venice Overnight Parking Dispute May be Settled — For Some
Peace may have broken out in the battle between Venice homeowners and the California Coastal Commission regarding the epidemic of overnight parking by those sleeping in their recreational vehicles and cars on Venice streets. Last we left off, the Venice Stakeholders Association had sued the California Coastal Commission after the Commission denied the request... »
Cattle truck wrecks on the 10, kills cows
At least 70 cows were killed this afternoon when a cattle truck carrying 160 of them overturned on the 10 near redlands. The wreck also closed down the freeway. Like cows to the slaughter indeed. :( Thanks Xeni. »
Judgment Day Comes For John McGraham’s Killer
Last October, a year after the horrific Mid Wilshire-area murder of John McGraham I posted that I was still awaiting justice. Today justice came. McGraham’s killer, 31-year-old Benjamin Martin, was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison with no possibility of parole. From the latimes.com article: Martin reportedly disliked homeless people lingering near the... »
Putting The Ad In Bad: Painfully Hilari… Nah, Just Painful
Is there a more leg-crossingly horrifying story out there right now than the one about the Murrieta infant who lost his testicles in an attack by two dogs? Well, thanks to some ad server’s keyword metric, this amazing juxtaposition of ad and editorial got paired when I landed on the CBS2.com page to read... »

6.9 7.2 Earthquake in Baja California
Felt it here in L.A. as a slow shaking. (I was busy playing Wii and didn’t realize there was a quake until Yoshi told me twice that the building was shaking. And it wasn’t until I stopped playing and stood up that I realized that we were STILL swaying.) You? ... »
Arcadia to run DUI Checkpoints in honor of St Patty’s
Designate your driver early no matter where you are in LA, not just in Arcadia. Let the kiss you get be on the cheeks not the one you plant on the car in front of you. Direct from the APOA website the warning for tonight: Members of the Arcadia Police Department will be conducting a... »
Who else woke up at 4:04 AM?
So, there was an earthquake this morning. It woke me up but didn’t get me out of bed. Apparently it woke a lot of other people up too; the tweetosphere was abuzz with hashmarks in front of the word “earthquake.” My favorite tweet? From @mattngyuyenn, simply: “Who farted?” The deets: 4.4, hit at 4:04 AM... »
