Voltron

Hackey-Lacky, Tangy-Taffy and Cocky-Lockey were shooting the half pipe one day. While doing a cool upside down trick, a chunk of hash fell out of Cocky-Lockey's Burton board pants and hit him on the helmet. "Bros, the sky is, like, falling." And there ensued much mayhem because Cocky-Locky was such a dumbass. The end.

Oh brother. Last year.

Hey Matt, welcome to Head-Case. And it's never too late to tell Tyll he's full of shit!

This crew of pro and bro a-holes is NOT going to get away with soiling the name of Voltron like that!

Holiday booze exchange, you say? IN!

I saw this and jumped in chat one second too late. I am going to be there. Of course I am going to be there.

DOM!

Yeah, who needs a so-called "genius" when you have a perfectly good foot.

Giants victory parade day, and I have trial. Timing really sucks. When I left the hotel at 7:30, there were already many people lining Montgomery Street where the parade was starting, and when we drove to court at 8:45 down the main drag of the parade route on Market St it was like we were already in the parade so many people were jamming the sidewalks. At court, which is across the street from City Hall where the parade ended and the rally happened, there were cyclone fences with green material on the court side of street, which meant that nobody could see from that side could see into the square. But when we tried to leave court at noon, the front doors of court were literally blocked by crowds of people because the green material was on the ground and the entire sidewalk in both directions was jammed. While standing there, one woman convinced the sherrifs to let her in because she was being crushed against the doors and looked like she was going to pass out. We could not get out except through the back door and the court staff would not guarantee that we could get back in. We ended up back upstairs in the courtroom talking to the judge (after he spent some time in the hall looking down on the parade as it came in). The witness who had been on the stand claimed he didn’t want to continue in the pandamonium and the judge wasn’t sure what was going to happen with the crowds, so trial was canceled for the afternoon. While we were waiting on the 3rd floor I had had a good view out onto the square. We were right above where the cars and fake cable cars came in with players on them, and then unloaded the so they could go into City Hall through a side entrance. I saw Cody Ross, Aaron Rowand, Freddie Sanchez, Panda Sandoval, Madison Bumgarner, Brian Wilson, Buster Posey and others. Manager Bruce Bochy with the WS trophy was in the lead convertible. Getting out of there was hell, but it was fun to be in the thick of the event even if I couldn't participate the way I would have if trial hadn't been happening. Here is the view from the courthouse window:

Never mind

The Big 3-0, no less. This month is a major HC birthday month too.

It's awesome that the superhero has glasses on under his mask.

Yup. It's like multi-Djangos with high recording quality.

Worked all day and will be working some more and staying at a hotel to avoid round trips home and back during trial. Anyway, I went to vote at City Hall at 7pm instead of driving all the way to my hood and back, but the line of people was so long that I easily could have gone home said hi the family, voted at my polling place at the PURE SHAO LIN KUNG FU school (I kid you not), and returned to the office in the same amount of time. Oh well, the people watching was worth it, plus they were setting up the grandstands and such for the Giants parade and rally. People were actually camping out overnight to be in the front row across the street. Here is what City Hall looks like in Orange November:

The High Dials -- Anthems for Doomed Youth

Roy Haynes -- My Shining Hour

Roy Haynes Trio

Elvis Costello -- National Ransom

Yay!

He got hit so hard, we went back in time to before he joined.

Ding Ding Ding!

Ooh, ^that will be next! Seeing Roy Haynes next weekend and cannot wait!
