San-O Beach Tip No. 90: Sand Castles

Making good sand castles at San Onofre can be a problem. The sand is rather coarse. Because of that, it doesn't stick together well. We've solved that problem with an additive. It’s natural, biodegradable, and widely available on the beach at San Onofre.

Sometimes I have difficulty understanding women. She asked if I wanted to leave the bar now. I thought she was asking me if, well, I wanted to leave the bar at that particular moment. I said no.

Shortly afterwards she indicated, without saying a word, that she wanted to leave at that time and further, that she had a particular reason for wanting us to be somewhere else. Subtlety, thy name is woman.

My Dog, Peepers

One of the nice things about San Onofre is that you can take your dog for a walk over by the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) and your dog can play in the warm water for as long as he wants. Your dog will love it. I have been personally assured by SONGS employees that the warm water that discharges into the ocean from the nuclear generators is completely safe.

SanO Rat Population Getting Big Boost

SAN ONOFRE, Calif. (AP) It all started four years ago, when he caught a baby rat at San Onofre to feed his pet Sri Lankan python. But when he saw the furry little critter squeaking for its life, the lifelong animal lover said he didn't have the heart to let it become just another snake snack.

"I couldn't stand it," he told the San Clemente Dispatch. "I took the rat out of the cage and got to know it." After that, "Big T," as he is known to the locals, was hooked on the rodents, which he described as gentle, lovable and an endless source of entertainment. He caught four more at the beach the next week.

Last week, animal control officers discovered more than 2,500 rats in Big T's small, one-bedroom home after a neighbor complained about the foul smell. He was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty.

Big T said a recent bout of flu and bronchitis kept him from maintaining control of the fast-breeding population. "I did not set out to do this," he told the paper. "It was not all my fault," he added. "It was this force of nature that overwhelmed me."

His house, in a quiet middle-class neighborhood, reeks of urine, the San Clemente Dispatch said. The floor is covered with the chaff of feed mixed with rat droppings, and everything is gnawed on, including the sheetrock walls.

When animal control officers arrived, they found rat cages stacked ten deep. The rats appeared well fed and cared for, and very active.

Big T admitted that he felt some relief when the rodents were confiscated, noting the "crushing burden" of caring for them. He said he was buying up to 5000 pounds of rat food a week.

Most of the rats are doing very well said Nancee Tavares, manager of San Clemente Animal Services. Tavares said that the rats would be released at San Onofre Beach on Friday because the original parents came from an area known as "Old Mans" at that beach, and returning them to their original environment would be the ecologically sound thing to do.

























While there are some upset that there will be thousand of rats released upon the beach Friday, others are planning a barbecue for Friday evening. "We barbecue every Friday," said Jack Daniels, pictured here, "and it's about time someone else restocked the area."

500 years of peace

"In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had 500 years of democracy and peace -- and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
~ Orson Wells as Harry Lime in The Third man (1949).

A Thought On The Changes At San Onofre

First they came for the drinkers,
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a drinker;





And then they came for the nudists,
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a nudist;








And then they came for the dog owners,
And I didn't speak up because I didn't own a dog;












And then they came for me,
And by that time there was no one left to speak up.

Surfing Calendar 2008

I ordered this calendar without seeing it. The description said that it was a "Surf's Up Boardriding Calendar." I suppose that is true, as far as it goes, but every month turned out to be a nude guy, or sometimes 2 or 3. Here's the mildest pose.

Did I miss some obvious "code words" in the description of the calendar or something? I ask because I am not the market to which this calendar is so clearly targeted. I mean, I remember when "gay" meant carefree, really happy, or joyful; and now it is a synonym for homosexuality. Did the meaning of "Surf's Up" or "Boardriding" change when I wasn't paying attention?

My Least Favorite Surf Shop

They used to sell surfboards, old LPs, and books. New management took over and they switched almost exclusively to books. It never had the same comfortable feel after the change. But maybe it was me . . . I didn't want to have a comfortable feel.

The Shit Hits The Microwave

San Clemente. CA (API) -- Police in San Clemente are looking for three men who were involved in cooking human feces in a convenience store microwave oven.

Police say one of the men placed a one gallon plastic baggie with human feces inside of it inside the oven and set the timer for ten minutes.

They say it happened on August 21th at approximately 10:45 p.m. at the 7-11 in San Clemente.

The men left the area, and after the bag exploded, it ruined the microwave costing approximately $3,500.00 in damage. The store had to be aired out for a long period of time, causing lost profits.

The only drawback is that they have a very limited selection of surfboards. In fact, now that I think about it, in the hundreds of times I've been there, I don't think I've ever seen a surfboard or a wetsuit. But it's still my favorite surf shop.

You Can Learn So Much About A Person When They Open Their Mouth

Take this woman for instance. She is not unattractive. She looks normal. Somehow she chose to sunbathe right in the middle of the volleyball courts.

I was there when a couple of guys asked her politely if she could move because she was sitting in the middle of the courts and they wanted to play volleyball. She started fulminating about how she was there first and it's a public beach and she was using the volleyball court in her "own way" and that she has the same rights as everybody else. Before anyone could respond, her tirade became so vulgar that it would make a French Legionnaire blush. People were literally hurrying away from the scene. Mothers covered their children's ears as they carried them away. Someone called 911 and reported that there was a mentally deranged woman yelling at children, though I did not see her direct any of her attacks at children.

Forty-five minutes later she was still there, lying on her towel in the middle of the volleyball courts.

Two Topless Strippers

Washing Mrs. Slocombe's Pussy

In the long running sitcom Are You Being Served?, Mrs. Slocombe is often heard to be concerned with the welfare of her pussy. This double entendre was also used with some other cast members of the show, showing their unawareness, with lines such as "I hope this meeting won't take very long, it's very unfair on Mrs. Slocombe's pussy". In the episode "Calling All Customers", Mrs. Slocombe calls a lonely trucker on Mr. Humphries’ CB radio. The trucker tells her he’s hauling dynamite, and proceeds to ask her about her interests. She notes gardening, but that her pussy is her favorite hobby. She exclaims that she has a mantle full of trophies and that it wins a medal every time she shows it. Then follows the sound of screeching tires and an explosion. Mr. Humphries laments that the trucker has "pulled off for a coffee".
