The Caption Thread - Part II

Born in Gardena but we lived in Torrance. My dad was a construction worker and we wound up in San Diego County for about 5 years (La Mesa, Kearney Mesa, then Escondido.) When I was 9, my dad switched careers and started selling cars. We moved up to Encino for a year before settling in Orange County (first Fountain Valley for a year, then Huntington Beach.) We stayed there until I graduated from high school in 1974. We wound up in Escondido again, then after I got married the 1st time, made it back to OC until I moved (minus 1st wife and daughter, who both wound up in North Carolina) to Pennsylvania in 1993. I met toes on the internet in 1996. I moved to South Jersey a year later, when we married.

All goes well (and, of course, no reason to expect it would start now) and we'll sell this spring and move back to SoCal in 2008.

We have a Chipotle here. Tried it once, but came away a bit unimpressed. Not enough heat for my bean, cheese and jalapeno burrito. They are much better than Del Taco, though. Talk about awful. The one thing I like about Chipotle is that it is next door to Wingstop and Wetzel Pretzels. I can park in front of there and go where I really want to be - let's just say they are not as busy as the other two places.[/quote]

What you all need is a Taco Truck, with Asada, Pastor, Carnitas, limes, radishes, and hot @$$ salsa.[/quote]

What EVERYONE needs is an In-N-Out Burger![/quote]

I think that's the place Oscar took me and my brother to when we visited LA. Is that the place where they make everything from scratch and it's all fresh?

If it's the same place, it's mmmmmmm good! Should have known Oscar would know where to eat. You could cut mine and his head off and switch bodies and nobody would ever know the difference, except he's got a little better tan.[/quote]

Jay, may I ask where you live? I assumed since being a Dodger thread that everyone lived in the L.A area.

haha. But obviuosly not.[/quote]

Ripley, Tenn. Last spring was the first time I ever made it to LA. It was a dream come true.

I'm without a doubt the biggest Dodger fan to have lived east of the Mississippi my entire life and in truth, I'm about as big a Dodger fan as you'll ever find.[/quote]

I'm actually trying to get my car painted Dodger Blue with the license plates of the Dodgers. My friend put a flagpole and attached a huge blue Dodger flag in the back of his car that he and i swing back and forth whenever we go to Chavez Ravine.[/quote]

I have a Dodger Blue Dodge Dakota. Folks round here no where I stand. But, it'd be nice if we came out on top one year, cause there are a lot of Cardinals fans round here that I really need to put in their collective places.

Been stuck on the Grapevine more than once. Thank you, no. I will stick to the scenic route, either 101 through Santa Barbara or 33 through Taft. It may take longer, but I don't get to park behind a semi carrying hogs or sheep.

Yeah, 101 sometimes is a good route into LA. Sometimes...

I lived in LA until 1990, when we moved up to SLO county. I still cannot believe the traffic down there everytime my travels take me into the City of Angels.

I still have to get down to Torrance once in awhile, and I really have to psyche myself up for the trips.

I used to take Amtrak down there. But, with the 6 hour trip it takes to get to Union Station and the even longer trip it takes to get back, I'd rather brave the idjuts on the road and shave off close to half of that time driving. The train ride is scenic for the most part. But cheese whiz, it takes FOREVER!

Jae- funny you should mention Dodger Blue vehicles. I am trying to decide on whether my next one should be a Dodger Blue Toyota Tacoma, Camry, or Matrix.

Don't let Torgy fool you. He enjoys the 5 purely as an opportunity to drum up business. He can often be spotted pulling off to the shoulder behind car accidents passing out business cards.

It is either that or he enjoys the aroma of cow manure!

Born in Peoria, Illinois
Grew up in Downey, California
When I got married moved to an apartment in Lakewood, CA
Now I live in South Gate, California (Right on the Downey border).

My townhouse is across the street from Rancho Los Amigos Hospital if anyone has ever heard of it.

And a K-mart

How do you think I'd look with one of those toopays?

Colletti: Why do I smell lasagna?

Lasorda: Did someone say lasagna?

"And then I says: "Sure you can have Pedro, but only if you'll give me Delino!", and you can't imagine how shocked they were ..... completely flumoxed them !!"

Babe Herman:

Ned, I think I crapped my pants.

Tommy: I have got an eye for talent, I knew that Paul Koknuckle er Kerbunkle whatever his name is was never going to amount to anything. Speaking of him is he still in the league?
