Bumper Stickers
By Josh Board - August 20, 2008, 12:14 a.m.
As a kid, I remember plastering my bedroom door with stickers. I think all kids love stickers. But it was when my stepdad took me to the mechanic with him at around age 11, and the guy at the shop offered me a bunch of car type stickers. The red ...

Tropic Thunder Controversies
By Josh Board - August 19, 2008, 12:26 a.m.
The Reader had a movie screening for Tropic Thunder, which I snuck into. I was glad I did, too. It was good, but not great. And those are the movies you don't want to drop $22 to see. When I left the theatre a young reporter, I believe from 93.3 ...

The Olympics
By Josh Board - August 18, 2008, 11:41 a.m.
I don't really follow the Olympics closely. I love sports, just not big into the Olympics. I always hear things that I find interesting or odd. That they were getting rid of baseball, and womens softball. Yet...I see they still have handball, which is such a bizarre sport. If you ...

Get a Life -- An Autograph Blog
By Josh Board - August 17, 2008, 11:57 a.m.
I write a column for Autograph Magazine, which is available monthly at your local newsstand. And, if it's not, demand they get it! My friends often ask me questions about which celebrities are nice, which are mean. When I do their cover story on the 10 best/worst celebrities, it usually ...

Used Cars
By Josh Board - August 16, 2008, 1:15 a.m.
A friend of mine owns a used car lot in Escondido called "Dig's Wheels". The first time I was there talking to him, I was amazed at how he didn't push customers when they came onto his lot. A guy was looking at a Camry he had. The guy didn't ...

Movie Critics
By Josh Board - August 15, 2008, 1:35 a.m.
I really can't figure movie critics out. They baffle me. The movie Step Brothers is getting bad reviews. Now, I hate Will Ferrell more than anyone. I'm just tired of his same old routine, movie after movie. But, I couldn't stop laughing during this movie. Yet, if you read reviews, ...

Dear Ardith
By Josh Board - August 14, 2008, 11:16 a.m.
Okay...I hate to blog again about a Dear Abby. But this just got me thinking on so many different subjects. Somene sent Abby a letter about her husband and her expecting their first child. The names they picked are: Ethan for a boy, Ardith for a girl. Her father is ...

Dear Abby
By Josh Board - August 13, 2008, 1:26 a.m.
It's weird how people that are intelligent and can give good advice, can often be idiots. Listen to Dr. Laura for any length of time and see what I mean. She'll get mad at callers for the weirdest things. It reminds me of what Judge Wapner used to do. Someone ...

Car Repairs for a PT Cruiser
By Josh Board - August 12, 2008, 12:09 a.m.
Well, I really played it bad with my car. I bought my 2001 PT Cruiser when it was a year old. I loved those things. And, the guy I bought it from did all this fancy stuff to it. He painted flames on the side. But, they're called "ghost flames"...so, ...

Do Religious Folks Get the SHAFT?
By Josh Board - August 11, 2008, 6:36 p.m.
I wasn't sure what I'd blog about today. There was the fascinating story about Mathew McConaughey naming his son Levi. But, it always angers a few people when I make fun of babies. Even though, I'm actually helping the babies out. If enough people make fun of such stupid names, ...

Picking a Movie to See
By Josh Board - August 10, 2008, 3:09 p.m.
My girlfriend and I have already seen Batman. Twice. She's into comic book films, so we had to see it in Imax (which, for either of us, we couldn't tell the difference). I won't get into what I thought of that movie. We did enough of that over in the ...

Worst Songs of All Time
By Josh Board - August 9, 2008, 1:58 a.m.
On KGBs morning show, they did a list of the Top 10 worst songs. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the list. Here it is, with my comments after each song: 1. Who Let The Dogs Out - Baha Men. No problem with this being on ...

Subway Sandwich Shenanigans
By Josh Board - August 8, 2008, 1:40 a.m.
A few weeks ago, there was a story about a guy that got his Subway sandwich home and there was a knife in it. This was all over the news and the thing I kept thinking is "The guy is lucky. He could've woken up from a surgery and had ...

Would You Clone a Booger?
By Josh Board - August 7, 2008, 2:01 a.m.
Just typing that title, made me think of a great episode of WKRP in Cinncinati. Dr. Johnny Fever was angry at a previous station firing him from saying the word "booger" on the air. Oh, how times have changed with the FCC. So many of those words you couldn't say, ...

Jake and the Fat Man's Execution
By Josh Board - August 6, 2008, 1:02 a.m.
I always thought it was funny to have a show called "Jake and the Fat Man." Imagine the actor getting the script sent to him. He likes it. He calls the studio up and says "This is a well-written show. I'm just not sure which character I'd be playing." After ...

Lawn Mower Man
By Josh Board - August 5, 2008, 12:48 a.m.
Sometimes I'll read a weird story in the paper, and I'll try to remember it for a future blog. I end up forgetting about 'em, and they sometimes end up in the News of the Weird. A few weeks back, in some part of the U.S., a man was arrested ...

Blogs in the Key of...
By Josh Board - August 4, 2008, 1:13 p.m.
Okay, I'm going to cheat here. I realized I didn't have a blog for today. I had posted a story on someones blog about Mira Mesa on this website. Something about them having their senior pictures taken. I just thought I would cut and paste that story here. I did ...

Friends Don't Let Friends....Do Stupid Things
By Josh Board - August 3, 2008, 8:49 p.m.
I know, with a title like that, this can go in any direction. But, a few things recently have gotten me thinking about my friends and some dumb things they do. I have a friend name Bob that's a horrible driver. Luckily, I'm hardly ever in the car with him. ...

That Jokes Old
By Josh Board - August 2, 2008, 2:05 a.m.
Why do so many people not get humor? And, I don't want to hear "It's subjective." It really isn't. I mean, okay, sometimes it is. I know people that love Monty Python movies. For me, they're hit and miss. Some people think the cheerleader sketches on Saturday Night Live with ...

Equal Rights For Women? Thumbs Down!
By Josh Board - August 1, 2008, 2:24 a.m.
I'm really disappointed. I ripped an article out of the L.A. Times the other day. I wanted to blog about it. Now, I can't find it anywhere. I remember the basics behind it. But one stat I wanted to quote accurately. I'll be off by a few hundred, but oh ...
