Dishman, I don't need to, but you might want to: http://mw1.m-w.com/dictionary/fabled It's not a common usage of the word in daily life, but you'll see it in a lot in good baseball stories. If you ...

Mackdiesel -- UCLA has a couple different costumes. Sadly, we didn't take any pictures of the knee sock outfit because we were concerned drool might have damaged the camera. But trust us, they wear th...

Cephyn ... Orlando, Miami ... Shaq's played in both, right? That's what I get for writing this at 4am! ;-)...

This is definitely an awesome workout! It's also a pretty fun date -- not too expensive if you just hire a belayer for an hour, and totally out of the ordinary but not weird....

Andy - I don't believe that was Kupcake's move for a second. Jerry West is still tied to both teams, still has a lot of influence, and I've got a pretty strong hunch he masterminded the deal. That's t...

I used to live a few blocks down the street -- amazing what can be going on in your neighbor's apartment....

No surprise here, and I would bet it's real. In the Hollywood singles scene, "producer" is code for "I haven't done anything with my life, but I want to sleep with you." Plain and simple. "Producer" ...

Good point! There was the NZ (and Australia) tour about three months ago, and I think one of those games may have set the all-time soccer attendance record for the Kiwis. Since then, Beckham has been...

You were handed an incorrect ballot. That happened to a lot of people. Since your ballot already said Democrat on it, there's not reason why it wouldn't be counted correctly. However, that may throw ...

Now that the Sharks have Jody Shelley they're probably more bruising than ever! Joe Louis is one I've always wanted to visit. The Shark Tank is fun, definitely a rowdy crowd. It's one of the loudest ...

Perhaps one of the finest traditions in all of sports! I grew up in the Bay Area when the Red Wings and Sharks had a mini-rivalry going, and always thought that was really cool!...

I park in USC structures like this two or three times a week, and this is not an unusual sight. It's a tough situation, because parking is often impacted and space is limited. I've also seen regular s...

Wakeywakeyman -- Assuming you were in LA County, the poll worker made a mistake. It's even spelled out on the roll sheet that you signed. At this point there's no way your vote would be disqualified, ...

All nonpartisan voters use the same nonpartisan ballot. If you chose not to vote for any party-specific candidates, it's all gravy. If you chose Dem or AI, you go to one of their machines and insert...

Actually, it's 100% accurate. Nonpartisans MUST use nonpartisan ballots. It says so VERY clearly in all the instructions that have been given to poll workers. This sample ballot quote doesn't refute t...

Ah ... you were quoting from the commercial. Don't I feel like a dunce....

I see zero downside to this trade. The Lakers come away with incredible depth assuming everybody's healthy during the home stretch. For the first time in a couple years I feel really good about this t...

How's that? If you mean calling it a short film, there's actually a series of shorts ... the first one was made long before the Super Bowl when it ran as a commercial....

And yes, I realize the irony in saying that most of SaMo is asleep when there are so many late-night spots. The problem is that they're all really similar and, as I found out last night, most of them ...

Off the top of my head: Fromin's, Coogie's, Broadway Deli, IHOP, and Carrows. Not all of those are 24 hours, but I'm pretty sure they're open late. There may be even more south of the 10 that I'm just...
