Snippets, Part 367

Myrtle likes herself some fancy root beer.
I usually get the Dog’s N’ Suds (my favorite), but I thought I’d try out a different one to see if it could kick The Pup’s ass.
So in this fight we have the returning champion, Dog’s N’ Suds, versus Berghoff.

Las Vegas Tuesdays

I like this clip because you’re experiencing the sight and sound of Las Vegas in 1978.

Pan Pacific Auditorium

I’m sick of everyone (a.k.a. Steve) shitting on L.A. all of the time.
So I thought I’d pick a historical site and go with it.

The Pan-Pacific Auditorium was a landmark structure in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. It opened in 1935 and closed in 1972 – the new Convention Center in Downtown LA killed it. [...]

Fucking Sambos…..

……why did you have to go away?
Myrtle loves Sambos.
Unfortunately, Myrtle is too young to actually remember going to a Sambos, although my mother insisted that we would go when I was a baby.

Myrtle tries to reflect on something from her past

The first and last thing I saw when I came and went from my apartment was “909″ on the door in those cheap shitty brass letters.
I thought I had finally gotten away from that number.

Pass the Stella – I’m hip now!

I think I’m getting sick, but I hope it’s just allergies from the dust of moving shit at work.
So guess what? Myrtle is a SNOB now! Actually, I’ve always had a cultured intellectual side that I’ve always been embarrassed to show, but now it will be shown against my will. If you’re a loyal reader [...]

The two best words ever – “Open Bar”

I need to get married ASAP.
Well, not ASAP. By 2010.
Hopefully on 09/09/09. Yes, I’m a 16 year old boy at heart.

Show some love to the IE!

A wonderful gal named Tanya has started the Modern Riverside web page and blog, and she’s doing what Myrtle’s been too lazy to do – draw attention to the wonderful modern architecture that lives here in the IE. I’ve contributed some pictures from my collection and I plan on taking some more pics for the [...]

Myrtle fights City Hall

While being up for 4 days straight due to insomnia, I was busy writing. A lot. I kind of went off on this one, but that’s what happens when you’re an insomniatic architecture snob.

     Are you ready to talk about some shitty architecture?
I am.
There was an article in the Press Enterprise the other day about [...]

Let’s go to The Big No

On January 18th, I will once again be making a weekend trip to The Big No, to visit a good friend of mine. And to go record shopping. I’m on the hunt for a specific album, and you know how us Music Snobs will travel to the ends of the earth for a certain record.
