Live, from California, the state of infinite possibility - It's time for another round of LAVoice Open Questions!
(Limerick contest below
Today we're wondering:
Hush, now, or everybody'll want one!
- Now that the severed- finger- in- my- Wendy's- chili plaintiff has become the chili- finger- hoax suspect, can Wendy's make it all better with free shakes? Why not chicken fingers? And since no one has found a living 9-fingered amputation victim, is a culpable San Jose corpse-maimer still at large?
And what's the penalty for paper airplanes and spitballs?
- If yawning audibly in L.A. Superior Court carries a 2-hour detention sentence and a $1,000 contempt-of-court fine (knocked down to $100) then what do they do if you actually pass out and snore? ...
Candidates Tumble into Giant Footprints While Wrestling
- If the shadow of LAUSD-hatin' Bobzilla still looms over the mayor's race so mightily that it's driving one-upmanship in the Hahn v. Villaraigosa fight, why again was it that he lost?
Can't Laura Chick's Salary Be Covered by the Villaraigosa Campaign?
- Do we really want to support a $5.95-billion city budget that's 10% bigger than last year's proposed by an administration that's been unable to keep track of, oh, say, a stray $3 million overbilled here or there by an overzealous PR firm? Can't we charge the construction overtime to the Hahn campaign fund?
Memo to self: Write in Exene, Phil Hendrie, or Mr. Winkle
- If Villaraigosa's just as hated as Jim Hahn is reviled, can we all agree on a sensible, better-qualified write-in candidate? Richard Alarcon? Bob Hertzberg? The corpse of Tom Bradley?
What is the Sound of One Nerd Waiting?
- Now that Jessica has opened our minds to the beauty of Star Wars nerd haiku can anyone out there work up a good sonnet? Wouldn't their travails be better told in iambic pentameter? What about clerihews or just a good ol'-fashioned filthy limerick?
(Limerick Contest: Post your the best Star Wars nerd limerick in COMMENTS below. The winner (to be chosen some time at the end of next week) gets a wicked-looking die-cast metal model of a TIE fighter about 2 inches high. The cockpit opens up. It's kinda nifty.)
But at Least the Beer's Cheap
-Anyone care to bet how long it takes season tix for the horrible baseline seats at Dodger Stadium to start showing up on eBay at fire-sale prices?
