As for waiting until Thursday morning to bail, it wasn’t totally clear how bad things were going given the fact that the po-po and the news crews were keeping a safe distance. It was when the University sent word that they weren’t going to vouch for the safety of anyone not in the Student Athletic Center under armed guard, that it became clear it was time to seek pastures new.

Were you in the honors housing in the Pacific building? That’s were I was my junior and senoir years, that was a good time.

And to bring the discussion thread thread full-circle: It’s the bioweapons division of the company that wants Rey for urban pacification.

Welcome back SLKM, I’d wondered what happened to you.

Wow! I give the keyboard a rest for the summer and a whole lot of new stuff goes down. Some of the biggest surprises:

a) Holly taking the top spot as the babe of EDSBS (sorry TCOAN);

b) No more Bunda Fridays?!;

c) # 53 – > Riots in LA? No, No, No, No, No! They were “Civil Disturbances”. The perpetrators were not looters, thugs, OG’s or New G’s, but visionary-city-planners-with-an-entrepreneurial-bent types intent on getting rid of liquor stores in the most expedient manner possible.

Other long-time owned family businesses in “South” (not South-Central) Los Angeles that were also burned down were casualties.

The cops were not cowards that fled faster than Frenchmen at the time of need, but patriots that wanted acts of Civil disobedience go on unperturbed. The US Armed forces (no joke here) came in to help restore order.

And, in all of this rioting, I mean civil rights protesting; the USC campus was left alone, unscathed by the ravages and savages (I mean civil disturbers), why?, why?, why? Some mysteries, like why would anyone go to the can right after Weis, Mangino or Beano Cook dumps a load, are beyond me.

You’re not lying about College Football Live.

I’ve tried twice now and it’s unwatchable. I’m just uncomfortable rough the whole thing, and have had to fast forward during “Rapid Fire” both times too.

in the next few years.

Certain so-called friends still claim that I lit up the strip mall at Hoover and Adams pour encourager les autres, but those are scurrilous accusations and you can’t prove anything. Besides, I drove a diesel and do you have any idea how hard it is to make a molotov cocktail with… I’ve said too much.

I was, however, entertained by The Humanitarian’s performance in *gryk* “Rapid Fire.” My admiration for him grew as he reacted to it about how most sane people do. One interesting bit: an archaelogist? Awesome.

And all the restrooms in her castle are marked “Ladies”

but then I am from the South, and we see all ladies upon a pedastal until we get to know them… and notice the leash the devil keeps them on hehe

Skid Row is amazing. It’s what society would turn into if there were no laws and nobody had any ambition. The wild thing is driving through there at night; I used to see dead bodies all the time; the coroner works some busy nights in LA.

I used to toy with the idea of moving downtown, just for a change. Don’t know whatever happened to that.

I’m not asking for a system as great as say London’s, but we could damn well do better than what we have got.
