So tell me, have any of you been to Skipper Stand Up ? No? What is Skipper Stand Up you ask? Apparently, every other month, skippers get together for for Skipper Stand Up: a night of standup comedy from current and former Skippers from Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise attraction. Lord help us. The OC Register article I linked to above, goes out of it’s way to remind us that this event is not simply a rehash of Jungle Cruise jokes. What is it then? Is it an R rated foray into the darkest corners of the skippers’ minds? Probably not - but how would I know? I’ve never attended.
I was thinking recently, after another dismal Jungle Cruise voyage, that maybe some of these Skippers need to quit focusing on their standup skills and start focusing on their spiel skills. Lately, every time I set sail on a jungle expedition I witness skippers maim, misuse and mangle the spiel from beginning to end. How hard is it? These are standard rimshot and sad trombone jokes that are sc...

Driving In the Dotted LinesFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

When I heard that they were going to convert the carpool lanes on the 22 to “open” lanes that would enable cars to manuever in and out without waiting for a break in the double yellows, I was skeptical.
I had visions of drivers who didn’t qualify for the carpool lanes going into them anyway, just to avoid traffic. And of people constantly going in and out around other drivers.
Well, I got the second one right, but it is kind of nice to be able to go around someone who is ...

This is a follow up to Maria’s review in July My wife and I had breakfast at the Original Pancake House in Aliso Viejo. Amazing.

Jason Lezak Made it PossibleFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

That’s right, in case you haven’t been paying attention for the last month, Michael Phelps won like a bazillion medals and he would not have been able to set that record if not for the hard work of Orange County’s own Jason Lezak.
Wait. Who? Well I guess that’s the point really. Michael Phelps ended up on a cereal box and Jason flew back from the Olympics in coach. For fuck’s sake I don’t even fly coach and I’m a nobody. Come one people, he’s a champion, the least you co...

Los Al Chooses the Killer RouteFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

It totally slipped under my radar that Los Al began a coyote eradication program on Sept. 2 . And by eradication, it means exactly that. The coyotes are trapped and then lethally injected.
There are factions that say coyotes have as much of a right to live as a household pet.
Others say that they are “pests” similar to rats, and we don’t have a problem getting rid of rats.
I can see both sides, but do they really have to be killed? Can’t they just be relocated?...
