MISCELLANEOUS PICS FROM CALIFORNIA PART 2

IMG_0463 Shaun Mexican place 675
This is a shot of Shaun… Shaun is a flipper of birds. This is at a little hole in the wall Mexican joint that was absolutely fantastic.

The images below are from the Goat Hill Tavern in Costa Mesa. I have been gong there for years and always make a trip or three there when in town. It’s the most fantastic beer bar in the world as far as I am concerned because it has atmosphere in addition to the beer. There is a place across the street that has a lot of beer too but it’s boring and sterile. This time my camera peaked the interest of the bartender and he took me into the keg room. The pictures that follow are all different directions and not duplicate kegs with the exception of the one with the bartender. This is “Chilly Heaven”…

Week in Review

File under Week 10 of 2009.

Welcome to March. Spring is near!!! However, there was a wicked Southern and East Coast snow storm this week. Here is a pic of WeirdSin’s backyard on Shades Mountain in Birmingham:

Looks a little like my front yeard from a couple of years ago…

My son got his driver’s license on Wednesday this week. Here is what he looked like just a short time ago:

alex-dad-1995
And now he is driving…
…and it should be noted that Yarbz took this photograph…

AIG is No longer with us. Ring the bells and lower the casket. No one deserves it more.

Homemade cat bong maker Acea Schomaker starts off our list of fucktards this week. Here are others:
Richard C. Wiley from Wilmette, IL who shot his wife and teenage son. Note that he had killed another wife years earlier. Can you say Peterson?
Local asshat, Bryan E. Kerber, who apparently had an inapproriate relationship with a minor.
Speaking of which, Chester Arthur Stiles makes a return apperance on the Fucktard list this week. May he fry. Slowly.
David Paradiso is a fucktard for attacking the judge during his trial. He was sent to paradiso by one of the bailiffs.
Tracy Davies is a fucktard and partial cannibal for biting off her boyfriend’s tongue. Eww.
She is no match for Latreasa Goodman, who called 911 after not getting McNuggets at McDonalds where she went McNuts. Chicken nuggets are NOT an emergency. If you listen to the three calls, you can get her phone number: 882-0488. She should call this unnamed woman who calls the cops on the gay disco every night, at least once.
Cleveland fucktard Davon Crawford apparently offed most of his entire family and then didn’t have the balls to kill himself.
This cheeky bastard who apparently broke into a bar and drank $4k worth of top shelf liquor and then got naked. Four grand?

Stocks had another tough week with the DJIA going under 7,000 for the first time in more than a decade.

I truly enjoyed this thread on FARK about the upcoming Rod Blogyoyovich book. Here is a link to the original Chicago Trib contest to name the book.

Trouble in Tampa Bay was manifest for four boaters out of Clearwater, FL, three of whom are still missing. Two were NFL players. One made it. Does anyone else find this story is somehow missing something? It just doesn’t compute for me.

These were among the headlines that were must click for me this week:
Scientists sovle mystery of Belly Button Lint (Thanks Spazticus)
Drivers find roads slippery after snow. No shit? Beware the sheen! Ice can be slippery!
Gas problem reported at local Taco Bell. If only they could find a way to bottle that stuff.

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.

IMAGE FROM THE YARBZ NEGATIVE ARCHIVE: KIDS, BOMBS, PICKAXES AND IMAGINARY CAMERAS:

paul-cris-lincoln-1972-golden-co-900px
This is 1971… This image was taken on our front lawn at 1946 Foothills Road, Golden Colorado. The house was just about one or two miles from the Coors brewery. We lived in a new development which was literally right as the base of the Rocky Mountains. I used to go hike into the mountains with friends, it was a great couple years. We lived there from 1970 to 1972 after which my dad was transferred to another office and we moved to Huntington Beach, CA. This image contains my brother Paul (left), Yarbz (center) and my buddy who flew out to visit from San Clemente, CA, Lincoln (Link) Bolton (right). Paul and I are holding my 40mm anti-aircraft shells and Link is holding an anti-tank or personnel rocket that that I bought at some surplus store. I don’t know why we’re holding them or what we were doing at the time the photo was taken. I have completely lost touch with Link and can’t even locate him via Facebook or other sites… We were a little troublesome when we were together. A couple years earlier, I signed up with some company to sell flower seeds door to door while we lived in San Clemente, CA. Depending on how much you sold, you got to pick out gifts from a catalog the company gave you. I selected a pickaxe and when it arrived I brought it over to Links house. He got his pickaxe and we proceeded to chop down his neighbors’ fence. I lost my pickaxe privileges for a while after that. Also, during Link’s visit pictured above, we bothered, significantly, our pretty neighbor girl, Allison Cox, who was our age. We pretended to have cameras and ran around her in circles repeating over and over, “Penthouse Photographer, Penthouse Photographer” until she ran inside crying. Kids… (Scanned from the original 126 negative on February 10, 2009)

YARBZ NEGATIVE ARCHIVE: VIEW FROM OLD AETNA CONNECTICUT CLAIM SERVICE CENTER 1994:

img01441994-civic-center-view
This is the view from the third floor of the Hartford civic Center which was, at the time, the Aetna Connecticut Claim Service Center. Aetna, in the form of a P&C insurer, no longer exists… Many of the people I work with now at SCIC worked there. Today, at 1600 hours, there is a reunion of Aetna (Bunch-O-Desks Insurance Company) at Margarita’s in East Hartford. It will be fun to see some of them again! I remember this storm. Many of us went downstairs to the old Margarita’s that was in the Civic Center and imbibed until the traffic died down. After that I went home to my Middletown apartment where Spouse 1.0 gave me a lot of grief that was unnecessary and undeserved… It wasn’t long before she bolted and my life became much better.
