Jeff Pope Bio

GREETINGS!!  An IE native (Upland HS -'87; Cal State San Bernardino -'92), I've been on the MORNING SHOW since May, 2000.  How's that for consistency?  Some stations can't last a year with changing their suck-ass DJs, and I've been paired with Evelyn Erives for more than 6 years!

BTW, John in Colton, you owe me $10 for putting EVELYN and PAIR in the same sentence.

Growing up, I also listened to 99.1 KGGI, and I remember Deaner and Daniels, "The Breakfast Club" on the Mornings...so doing the show is a dream come true.

Actually, marrying my wife - ANOTHER Upland Highlander - was a dream come true. 

Doing the show is just HELLA cool!

I've also done traffic and news at X 103.9, and a handful of stations in LA and the HD.

Want to more about me?  First, here's my precious pooch, Blanca.  Check out her webpage - click here!


And here's me with our newest family member, Jax - a black lab mix who we adopted from the San Bernardino Humane Society.  His webpage!


And now he's 7 months old and 57 pounds!  A far cry from the 16-pounds when we first brought him home (above)



Also, here's my new niece, Kayla Pope, who was born on September 16th.  She's being held by my brother Jarrett, who's not so new...



And here's me and my wife with Kayla.



Here's an updated photo taken from May 2008






And here's the BOTH of us screaming for her mama!

The best thing about being an uncle?  Someone else changes the diapers!


Ready my Q&A

OLD SCHOOL PHOTO!

 1989 -
my BFF Eric and I honor our then-favorite beverage, JOLT COLA, which would get us through college - me at Cal State San Bernardino, and he at UC San Diego.

Some of you may be asking, "Where's Evelyn in that photo?"  I'm thinking the then 7-year-old was hanging with her parents.

Suspect shot at Dennys near UCR
CHP serves "Lead Lover's Skillet" 
An early morning shooting near University and Iowa has sent a man to the hospital and kept part of the University Village closed throughout most of the morning.  According to the CHP, officers had pulled over another driver on University when they heard shots coming from the restaurant.  They say they shot the suspect after he fired at them.  He was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

What are the odds?
STAB VICTIM SPOTS ASSAILANT AT BUS STOP - ONE MONTH LATER!
A month after getting stabbed at a Fontana apartment complex, a victim going to the hospital for treatment spotted the bad guy nearby . . .  waiting for a bus! 

So before seeing his doctor, the victim called police, and they arrested a 20-year-old man for attempted murder.  The victim, who’s a maintenance worker at the apartments, said some dude just rolled up on him and stabbed him a couple of times.  He told police then that he’s be able to point out the bad guy if he ever saw him again – well, he got that chance when he went to the SB Community Medical Center and saw the bad guy at a bus stop.  The Press Enterprise reports dude confessed to the crime. 


Claim filed in Soboba shootout.  No, the LAST one.

A lawyer for the family of a Soboba tribal member killed during a shootout with Riverside County sheriff’s deputies has filed a legal claim against the county.  In that May shootout - which lasted an hour -  deputies shot and killed two tribal members, a 29-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man.  A lawyer for the woman claims she was unarmed – deputies say she and the man were armed with semi-automatic weapons.  The lawyer also claims she died because of poor training by deputies. 

 
I’m thinking, if the deputies had poor training, wouldn’t they have MISSED with those shots??  And if she wasn’t armed, who the hell was returning fire?  The other dead guy?  The shootout lasted AN HOUR!  


BTW, in an unrelated case, two Soboba members are on trial for attempted murder - yesterday bounty hunters testified they were shot at 21 times trying to arrest the two at a mobile home on the reservation back in 2004.

 Again, that case is completely unrelated to the other shooting in May…or the one a week before that led to a Soboba member being killed . . . or the one last December . . .


Swimmer rescued from Riverside sewer
And yes, it IS possible to injure yourself while swimming in a sewer. 
 
Here's a view of someone removing feces from the Santa Ana River in Norco. 
Yes, it's a full-time job.

Let’s go to
Riverside, where emergency personnel had to be called out to the Santa Ana River under the Van Buren bridge – that’s where a 34-year-old Santa Ana man had to be pulled out of the water.  He was swimming in the sewage runoff – uh – I mean IN THE RIVER when friends found him face down.  The Press Enterprise reports he suffered some kind of neck injury…

Considering the NO SWIMMING signs, I'm assuming dude's also dealing with a HEAD injury...


OLYMPIC HIGHLIGHTS!

I’m still physically drained from watching the Women’s beach volleyball semi-final last night, as Americans Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh took it to Brazil for their 107th consecutive victory.  God was overheard saying, “That match was EXACTLY the reason I invented the bikini.” 

 

WOW.  And in High Definition, no less. 

My wife was, like, YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT BEACH VOLLEYBALL BEFORE!  I responded, ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY PATRIOTISM? 

 

And Rodney from Rialto – former writer with the Craig Kilborn Show – is still miffed that a Chinese FETUS won the gold medal in the uneven parallel bars, beating out an American gymnast on a tie-breaker.  Hell, just 9 months ago, Chinese’s main news agency - which is run by the government - kept referring to her as a 13 year old. 

Did I mention she weighs 73 pounds? 

Anyway, Rodney is STILL miffed over the apparent cheating going on .

 

Top 10 Ways to tell that the Chinese gymnasts are under age  
10) instead of Gatorade, they're sipping from juice boxes

9) Their babysitters are all in the front row

8) During the opening ceremonies/ parade of nations, they were pushed in baby carriages

7) Their Olympic dorm rooms are decorated in Dora the Explorer


6) In between events, they stay loose by riding their exercise tricycles.

 

5) After the Olympics, it's back to their jobs at the sweat shops making clothes for their American rivals

4) They are sponsored by Gerber

3) Their equipment bags are filled with toys

2) For each gold medal they are rewarded with tickets to see the Wiggles

and the #1 way you can tell they are under age

1) During the last Olympics in Athens, they watched comfortably from their mother’s wombs.

Friday night violence in Fontana
Two shot, one stabbed
Police haven't made any arrests following two incidents where one man was stabbed to death and two people were shot - all within 45 minutes of one another.

Officers tell the Sun they got the first call about a "man down" shortly before 9pm Friday night.  They found a man behind a Foothill Boulevard liquor store who had been stabbed numerous times.  The victim, a 29-year-old who had been drinking behind the store with about a dozen others, apparently got into an argument with someone, who pulled out a knife and attacked him.  He died a short time later.

Around 9:40pm, two teenage brothers and a friend were walking near the Cottonwood Apartments when someone rode his bike to within 100 feet of the trio, and started shooting.  A 19-year-old was killed, and his 18-year-old friend was wounded in the back.

Again, no arrests have been made in either case.


Riverside car theives leave dog to die

A Hemet couple is grieving for their dog after the pooch died after being left inside their hot SUV – by the couple who stole the vehicle from a cemetery.


A man and his wife and their 16-year-old dog Rebel had gone to Riverside National Cemetery Saturday…they left the dog in the SUV with the engine running and the air conditioning on.  Well, not everybody at the cemetery was there to pay their respects – a car drove up, a woman was dropped off, and she jumped in the SUV and drove off, with the dog inside.  Authorities later found the SUV abandoned – with the dog still inside, but he passed away from the heat as the thieves left the windows up.  Authorities tell the Press Enterprise they’ve recovered a lot of fingerprints from inside the vehicle, and the suspects could be hit with several felonies.



Did TEXTING on freeway kill Highland teenager?
A San Bernardino County coroner says there's evidence a 16-year-old girl who was killed when she lost control of her car on the 10 freeway in Redlands had been texting right up to the time of the crash.  According to the Sun, the teenager suffered massive head injuries when her car slammed into the guardrail around 2:30 am. 

While it appears she was texting, the coroner ALSO confirms she was drunk, as she had a BAC level of .15, and was reportedly speeding at the time.

According to various sources, the girl's mom hopes the accident will make other people think before texting and driving . . . while Darwin hopes the accident will make teenagers think before drinking, speeding, texting and driving. 


Michael Phelps DOES IT!!

Finishing the greatest Olympics for any single athlete, Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal Sunday, setting his 7th world record in the process.  And the most amazing of those 8 gold medals was the victory in the 100-meter breaststroke, in which he was trailing with ONE METER LEFT WHEN HE WON BY 1/100 OF A SECOND!!

Phelps (left) uses his long fingernails to beat the other guy (right)

Following that amazing victory, he was able to swim the 3rd leg of a final medly to win his record-breaking 8th gold medal, an event so special the Chinese women gymnasts were allowed out of their cribs to watch it live! 

 

Of course the bad news with winning 8 gold medals is, he’s got to pay the extra onboard baggage fee to bring them home.

OLYMPIC EDITION
Michael Phelps is STILL the man!!

Michael Phelps goes for a record tying 7th gold medal today, with a shot a record-breaking 8th this weekend, giving him the most for ANY single Olympiad.  He’s already won the most gold medals of all-time for ANY athlete.

What is his secret?? Forget those long arms and an upper torso that can double as a runway at LAX . . . perhaps it’s his DIET.  While most men need about 2,500 calories a day to get by, Phelps needs 12,000 thousand calories!!  

Have you heard his commercial? Click Here

Speaking of Olympics,

HAPPY 30th Birthday to beach vollyball babe Kerri Walsh!


She and her partner Misty May-Traynor (below) haven't lost a match in more than a year and are expected to take the GOLD!


Counting left to right, there are SEVEN boobs in the above photo



WOW!  Look at those ASSES!!

Have you heard the Olympic parody song? Click Here

Friday has turned out to be a GOOD day for the American gymnastics team.  Days after our women lost the gold medal to the Chinese 12-year-olds – er – WOMEN, Americans took gold and silver in the all-around individual performances. 

 
Nastia Luikin (above) and Shawn Johnson (below left) finishing first and second… 



Meanwhile, there are critics who think more than half the Chinese gymnasts are younger than 16 – THAT would be illegal, and one of ‘em – the one’s who’s missing teeth – may be as young as 12. And because of that, they should forfeit the team gold medal to the Americans, who came in second.

 

Did you know the average size of these “16-year-old” gymnasts is 4’ 9”, and 77 POUNDS?? 

 

77 pounds!!!

 

And the Chinese government want us to think those girls are 16??  

Perhaps this commercial is the secret!  Click Here

August 13 - 14
Michael Phelps is the MAN!

Michael Phelps is now the greatest American Olympian of all time – TWO MORE gold medals yesterday in the pool gives him 5 for these games, and 11 all-time, which gives him two more than Carl Lewis and Mark Spitz. 

Phelps can still win three more gold medals in Beijing, which would give him 8 for these games, beating the 7 that Spitz had in the 1972 games.  Medal Count as of this morning:  USA 29 China 26


TOUGH BREAK AWARD - I gotta give it to our American women gymnasts, who won the Silver Medal in the team competition, losing to China.

This is WOMEN'S gymnastics, right?  So why the hell are HALF the Chinese gymnasts under the age of 16?? (allegedly)  Compare the above pixies with OUR women


The controversy is, all Olympic gymnasts must be at least 16, and there are numerous reports that half the Chinese team is 14 and under.  Of course, they deny their gymnasts are under age, even though some of them are missing:

1. Boobs
2. Menstrual flows
3. TEETH! 

One of the gymnasts smiled, and she was missing TEETH! HOW YOUNG ARE THESE GYMNASTS?!  Do their coaches also play the role of the Tooth Fairy??

You know those girls are young when R. Kelly turned OFF his TV when they performed.

And the gold medal in synchronized ASS KICKING goes to the Angels, who have the best record in baseball, and have a 15-game lead in their division!



Riverside County woman charged with . . . WHAT?!

Imagine - a man marries a woman, only to find out another man's name is still on the deed to her naynay!

A 44-year-old woman has pled NOT GUILTY to charges she married a man in Palm Springs . . . while STILL married to a guy in Phoenix.  The woman says she THOUGHT she had divorced husband #1.  The Press Enterprise reports this could be the first case of bigamy ever tried by Riverside County prosecutors.  The woman faces three years in prison - which still isn't as bad as having two husbands.

Ex-boyfriend runs into KARMA

Quick memo – if you’re gonna burglarize your ex-GF’s house, make sure her CURRENT boyfriend isn't there.  And if he is, make sure he can’t kick your ass. 

That oversight has sent a Chino man to the hospital in critical condition after he got pummeled AND stabbed while burglarizing his ex’s house in San Bernardino.  The Press Enterprise reports he and the current BF got into a fight – the ex-BF dropped a vase on the head of the current bpyfriend, who stabbed the ex-BF in the neck.  Both went to the hospital, but only the EX was charged with anything: burglary and assault with a deadly weapon.


In other news, a house in San Bernardino had a vase.

Comedian Andy Dick arraigned.
Or not.

Todays scheduled arraignment of comedian Andy Dick - which qualifies as BOTH an oxymoron AND a redundancy -  has been postponed. 

You’ll recall dude was arrested outside a Murrieta bar and grill for being drunk, fondling a 17-year-old girl and having drugs on him, allegedly. 

Anyway, there HAS to be a good reason why his arraignment has been postponed, right?  According to the Press Enterprise, it turns out charges haven’t been filed. 

Huh?  Apparently, prosecutors are "still reviewing the case."



Is that a gun in your pants, or are . . . oh, it IS?

Two High Desert teenagers have been busted for burglarizing a house after ONE of ‘em got caught with a stolen shotgun on a bus. 

Let’s go to Victorville, where a home had been burglarized three times previously – the FOURTH time it was hit, a shotgun was stolen.  Deputies got enough leads to arrest a 16-year-old boy, who it just so happens was doing – er – DATING the homeowner’s daughter.  That’s known as an inside jobTHEN he burglarized the place. 

Deputies got word that the OTHER burglar, a 19-year-old, was on his way to
Sacramento…but apparently he wasn’t sure how to get there, because he was arrested after getting off a bus in Claremont…and yes, he had the stolen shotgun with him. 

Yeah, leave it to a 19-year-old dumbass to think the road from Victorville to
Sacramento goes through Claremont.  Regarding the arrested teenager, Claremont officials were heard GET THAT CRAP OUT OF OUR CITY



Look who's in the news!

Remember that former San Bernardino County sherrif’s deputy who, following a high speed chase, was caught on tape shooting the passenger – even though he told him to get up?  


You'll recall he was aquitted on attempted murder charges . . .

 . . .uh, he’s filed for bankruptcy. 

Hey, that’ll happen when you need to hire a bunch of lawyers because it’s hard to spin something caught on tape – and you’re not working


Uh oh.  It's time for
WHITE TRASH POKER!
Story #1 -

Would you like a new definition of hell?  Let’s go to St Louis, where a 61-year-old woman’s been busted for allowing six kids, ages 11 to 1, to live in filth amongst 360 animals. 

Those animals being dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, pigeons, peafowl, mice, and hamsters…oh yeah, and FISH.


You're probably asking, "Peafowl?"

Story #2-
Wait hold on – that definition of hell has been RAISED!  Let’s go to rural Vermontwhich is a redundancy…police have arrested a 70-year-old woman and her 41-year-old son, not so much that THEY were living in filth with a carpet made up of feces, urine, and dead things.  They were busted for animal cruelty after investigators found dozens of living and dead animals in a home infested with fleas, maggots and rotting carcasses. 

Among the LIVING animals were five cats, two ferrets, a lizard, a gecko, a rabbit, a python, a gerbil, a tarantula, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, a tortoise, a mouse and a malnourished dog.  Found dead were an iguana, a white rat, a hedgehog and at least 15 cats and kittens in various stages of decomposition.  Hell, authorities could even figure out what was decomposing on the stove!

Story #3-

THAT story has been trumped!  A husband has been arrested for keeping his wife and four kids prisoners inside their single-wide for three years!  Let’s go to Lavonia, Georgia – that’s where a 36-year-old man has been busted for rape, child endangerment and other charges.  Police say they were called by the wife who finally escaped the mobile home – they arrested the husband when he showed up for work.  She decided to make a break for it after she found out he was having an affair.

Neighbors were shocked to hear that, not only did someone live in what they thought was an abandoned trailer, but that it was a family of six.  This is at a trailer park where the mobile homes are only 20 feet apart!! 

Of the four kids, the oldest – a 14-year-old – is believed to have spent time in the first grade…and that’s all the schooling they’ve received!
Meaning, they’re MORE than prepared for Southern living.

Riverside mom convicted in son's death

A Riverside woman has been convicted of murdering her three-year-old son after bashing his head with a door.  A jury needed three days to decide the woman’s guilt.  Her medically challenged son, who was born 10 weeks premature, was killed when she slammed a door into his head 5 years ago.  She testified that YEAH, she was frustrated by his crying, but the door thing was an accident.  The most damning evidence in the case was when she discovered the boy had died, she waited hours to call anyone. 

She’s looking at 40 years to life.



Man pleads guilty to raping Corona teen -
then she STILL got in the car with him

In a case full of bad decisions, a Lake Elsinore man has admitted to raping a deaf girl who had snuck out of her home and accepted his ride to San Diego to visit friends.  This went down in April, when the deaf 16-year-old met the guy at a Corona gas station, and he agreed to give her a ride down to Valley Center so she could hang out with her friends.  They got down to Wildomar when he got off the 15, and drove to a dark location, where he raped her.  But he was a man of his word, and after the assault, drove her down to Valley Centerand no, I don’t know why she got back in the car with him - espcially AFTER the attack.  Dude’s gonna get six years for the plea.



Highland car thieves = MORONS
Quick memo to car thieves – if you don’t want to get caught, you probably don’t want to drive that stolen car past the owner while officers are taking his report. 

Let's go to Highland, where a
23-year-old man went to a party over the weekend, got drunk and passed out.  When he woke up Sunday morning, he asked himself, "Self, where's my car?" 


According to the Sun, dude called police, and while officers were interviewing him Sunday morning – four dumbasses  passed by in his car. 

Officer Friendly: Can you describe your vehicle?
Stolen car victim: Yeah, there it goes right behind you


Officers chased them down into someone’s driveway – 18-year-old Raymond Jessee of
Highland was busted, as were two teens, ages 16 and 15.  Police say 23-year-old Sean White got away….


WTF?!
Can you get thrown out of a mall for what you wear?

If you’re shopping in Kentucky, HELL to the YES! 

Let’s go to
Richmond, Kentucky . . .where the toilet paper has page numbers on it.  20-year-old Kymberly Clem (above) had gone to the local mall wearing a nice, tight outfit befitting a 20-year-old hottie . . . she had only been there for 10 minutes when she tells 99.1 news what happened.  Click Here

"people's husbands was looking at me"  ???

No honey, those weren't horny men checking you out because of your dress . . . those were officers with the grammar police ready to bust your ass.

SWIMMING is the BOMB!

Who knew watching SWIMMERS could be so exciting?  Michael Phelps (above, left) continues his quest for 8 gold medals, thanks to the fingertip of fellow American Jason Lezak.  In dramatic fashion, Lezak - the last swimmer for the American 400-meter-relay team - made up a full body length and caught the French swimmer in the last 100 meters, nipping him in the end by a fingertip!


In fact, NBC commentators had already given the United States the silver medal when they realized a comeback was being made.

Hey, let's not forget LeBron James' slam against China!!  101-70!!


Opening ceremonies?  The BOMB!

WOW!  How about the visual display of the Opening Ceremonies??  What was most electrifying?  Those 2,008 synchronized drummers??


Or how about those cheerleaders who were dancing for more than two hours straight, while 11,000 athletes from more than 200 countries entered the stadium?

BIGGEST LOSER of the OPENING CEREMONIES - it wasn't London, which is hosting the 2012 games and CAN'T hope to match what happened in Beijing. 

No, the biggest loser was Raider Fan, who missed the ceremonies so he could watch a meaningless pre-season game against the San Francisco 49ers.



Were drugs/alcohol involved in fatal Corona crash?

Investigators are still waiting for toxicology reports following a crash on the 91 freeway Friday morning that killed four people.  All were riding in a car going east around 2:30 in the morning when the CHP says the car, doing about 100, left the freeway, struck and tree, and was pretty much vaporized.  The men were between 23 and 18, and were returning from an Anaheim club when they crashed.



Lesbains get a quicky . . . DIVORCE?!

Here’s a sign the end is near:  A lesbian couple who was one of the first same-sex couples to get married is definitely the first to get divorced.  Whuh? 

Theresa Ramirez and Adelita Guarjado of Fresno were married on June 27 . . . and three days later, they were filing for divorce…”irreconciliable differences. “  Are you kidding me? 

A three day marriage is short, even by heterosexual standards.  Using Lesbian terms, this marriage was over, LICKEDY SPLIT! 

The only question now is, if 2 women get divorced how will the lawyers make it so they both get everything?  Who gets the Melissa Etheridge CDs??  The Lilith Fair souvenirs??

Olympics start TONIGHT

The Opening Ceremonies in Los Angeles, as the Soviets watched from their couches.
Was that REALLY 24 years ago?!

The 2008 Summer Olympics have begun!  The opening ceremonies started at 5:08 am our time, which works to 8:08pm Beijing time to coincide with 8-8-08 at 8:08pm.  (The number 8 is VERY lucky in Chinese culture)

 

From what I’ve been told, the ceremony featured thousands of fireworks, releasing smoke that's amazingly cleaner than the regular air. 

You can catch the ceremony tonight on NBC, and Raider fan is torn!  Do I watch Oakland’s third stringers play San Francisco’s bench warmers, or do I watch the Olympians from 200+ countries march into Olympic stadium?   Do I watch an event that happens only every four years, or do I blow three hours watching two suck teams play a game that doesn't event count?

 

Popester’s call: Watch the Olympic ceremonies.  It would have to be a cold day in hell before someone should watch the Oakland Raiders play the San Francisco 49ers . . . and that’s during the REGULAR season.  Why waste a Friday night watching a bunch of guys who, one month from now, will be driving trucks for a living?



MoVal man threatens bank - cellmate makes deposit

Quick memo – if you’re going to threaten to shoot up a bank, you’ll probably be arrested if you show up. 

A
Moreno Valley man called his bank to argue an overdraft fee, meaning he still writes checks.  According to the Press Enterprise, the conversation got heated, and he allegedly told the phone operator he was going to shoot up the bank.  Uh oh. 

Mo Val police rolled to all four of the bank’s branches in the city – and they found the guy standing outside his car at one of the banks on Frederick and Centerpoint.  He was arrested, and was charged a $3 handcuff convenience fee.


His new cellmate has threatened substantial penalties for early withdrawl. 


WTF?!

How odd does THAT look?  After 16 years of wearing a Green Bay Packer jersey, he's now going to wear a New York Jet jersey?

Obviously, NFL Films is not impressed.Click Here

Pre-dawn Riverside raid leads to arrests, oxymorons

How many bit oxymorons can you find in THIS story?? 

Raids in
Riverside and Orange County resulted in the arrests of the leader and half a dozen members of a Christian motorcycle gang after they apparently brawled with the Hell’s Angels.  The raids went down as early as 5am yesterday, and by the afternoon 10 members of the Set Free Soldiersthat’s the Christian bike gang – and Hell’s Angels were behind bars.  Arrests were made following a massive brawl at a biker bar that resulted in two of the Christian bikers stabbing two of the Hell’s Angels. 

And when you’re a member of a Christian biker gang, knives are OBVIOUSLY the weapons of choice, since a NAIL GUN would be totally inappropriate. 


Riverside County man busted for having WHAT in his pants?!

Is that a chicken in your pants, or are you . . . oh, it IS a chicken?

A Riverside County man has been arrested after he tried to shoplift some chicken from the store by jamming it down his pants.  Let’s to go Palm Springs, where a security guard noticed an unusual bulge emanating from the front of dude’s trousers.  The suspect admitted that, yes, he was choking the chicken, and was arrested for shoplifting.  He was then taken to jail where his cellmate force-fed him a drumstick.

 

It’s a good thing he gave up without a struggle.  Otherwise , he could have been charged with cockfighting.



Dept of Corrections to Soboba parolees: GET OUT!

If you’re a parolee living on the Soboba Indian Reservation, you need to GET OUT! 

 

OR, you can choose to stay and be arrested. 

 

According to the LA Times, the California Department of Corrections has ordered all parolees to leave the reservation, saying the area wasn’t safe for parole officers to enter.  This comes after several high profile shootouts between tribal members and sheriff’s deputies, with the deputies going undefeated... also, the tribal chairman has ordered security guards at the entrance to the reservation to stop and question everybody entering the reservation – the Riverside County sheriff threatened to arrest ANYONE who interferes with his deputies.  He’s also asked the feds to shut down the casino.  



"Tell me you love me, or else!!"

You KNOW you're in love when you're willing to drive off a cliff to hear I LOVE YOU

A Lake Arrowhead romantic has been arrested for being a little too much in love.  The 24-year-old man, who’s clearly a lover and not a fighter, was in a car with his 22-year-old GF along Highway 18 up in the mountains…apparently, he was a little bothered that she still had not said I LOVE YOU.

But that’s why he’s a lover!

He desperately wanted to hear those special words - the Sun reports he forced her into the backseat of her car, and threatened to drive off one of the nearby cliffs unless she said.

The GF broke down and said I LOVE YOU before escaping the vehicle and calling police.  I'm thinking she really didn't mean it.

Besides, lovers who travel along Highway 18 often have their ups and downs.




DARWIN DENIED . . .  AGAIN!
For the second time this week, Darwin has been punked in Orange County. 

And when we say
DARWIN, we of course refer to Charles Darwin – his main theory on Evolution is varoous species get stronger when the SLOWEST, WEAKEST and MOST STUPID MEMBERS die

For example, that kid who was skateboarding on the ROOF of a high school when he FELL through it?  He PUNKED Darwin because he survived the fall. 

Well, someone else has survived a bout with Natural Selection – an
Orange County man was hiking in the foothills yesterday when he came upon three mountain lion cubs.  He stopped to pet them becaue they looked "cute and cuddly."

Wanna take a guess as to WHAT normally hangs out near mountain lion cubs?  How about a mountain lion MOM?  How about a protective mountain lion mom? 

The hiker was lucky as hell that the mom simply swiped at him with a paw before leaving with her cubs…that swipe still caused a gash on the hiker’s arm that needed 27 stitches to close.


I guess Darwin isn't the only one to lose when betting on the Lions.

Riverside woman killed when drunk's SUV lands on her
An 18-year-old woman out for a late-night walk with her husband and daughter has been killed when an SUV driven by an alleged drunk struck a telephone pole before landing on her.  The crash occured Monday night on Magnolia Avenue.  The husband and 2-year-old girl were not hurt.  The driver ran away, but was arrested 90 minutes later.  He's been identified as 23-year-old Javier Hernandez of Riverside - he was scheduled to be arraigned this morning on a variety of charges.


Adelanto girl struck and killed on 15 freeway
A 14-year-old girl has died after apparently running onto a freeway.  The LA Times reports the girl, identified as Crystal Pasalis of Adelanto climbed over a fence, ran onto the 15 freeway in Victorville and stood still before she was struck by a big rig.  The crash occured in the northbound lanes just past Mojave Drive early Tuesday morning.  The truck driver is not expected to face charges.



Guy who brought gun to wedding reception arraigned
A Fontana man has pled . . . NOT GUILTY to charges he shot and killed a man during a drunken brawl at a wedding reception this weekend in Fontana.  Police say 22-year-old Gonzalo Rodriguez got involved in a fight when two separate groups started fighting over a girl.

Do I need to mention alcohol was involved?

During the fight, police say Rodriguez pulled out a gun and fired a round which killed a 35-year-old man and wounded a 22-year-old.  His bail was set at $2.5 million, and charges include gang enhancements.

Remind me again . . . why do folks bring guns to wedding receptions?  Or did the invitations not specifically ban handguns? 


HEALTH WARNING!
AVOID SWIMMING IN LAKE ELSINORE
We've often joked about the foul water quality of Lake Elsinore - but there's nothing funny when a 9-year-old has died from possibly swimming in the lake.

County health officials claim the boy, who died Saturday, was the victim of a rare water-borne illness that he could have picked up from swimming in the lake.  He succumbed to a brain infection caused by a rare amoebic parasite that lives in warm water.  The parasite enters the body through the nose.  There have been similar cases with swimmers dying after visiting Lake Havasu, but this is the first case involving a swimmer at Lake Elsinore. 


Oh no.  Not THIS crime again.
BOYFRIEND ACCUSED OF KILLING GF's BABY

ANOTHER boyfriend has gone to jail for fatally beating his girlfriend’s toddler.  San Bernardino Police arrested a 34-year-old man a short time after they were called out to an apartment complex on Argyle Street, where the 22-month old baby had stopped breathing.  The boyfriend was babysitting his GF’s daughter when officers say he fatally pummeled her because she wouldn't stop crying. 


Quick memo to guys: if you can't handle crying kids, don't date women who have them.  Duh!

Quick memo to moms: if you've got a young kid, be VERY careful who you date.


NO!
DARWIN suffers an EPIC FAILURE in ORANGE COUNTY

I SUCK!

Darwin’s most recent attempt to THIN THE HERD . . . failed miserably in Orange County.  That’s because the 14-year-old boy who was skateboarding on the roof of a high school is expected to survive after he fell THROUGH the roof.  The DIM BULB fell 40 feet through a skylight, and fractured his right wrist, cracked several ribs, broke his pelvis and bruised his right lung.  When he gets out of the hospital, he'll be cited for trespassing.

And since this happened at Trabuco Hills High School, which is in 
Orange County, I fully expect his parents to sue the school district for not putting up warning signs on the roof.

SIGN THE END IS NEAR!

Now that there’s an apparent cure for cancer and AIDS, scientists have moved on to more important questions facing humanity: 

Is yawning contagious to dogs? 

Researchers studied the effects of yawning on 29 dogs, and 72% of them yawned right back. 

Amaingly, one of the test subjects even sent a text message to her boyfriend Benji Madden.



As long as we're on the topic of dogs...
MY DOGS HAVE BLOGGED!!

REDNECK PHOTO OF THE DAY!

This picture was taken from the front of a Wal Mart in Gardendale, Alabama.  Gender unknown 

Once you've looked at the "label" on the bottom of the "shirt", answer me this question: Who looks at a pair of men's underwear and thinks, "Hmmm.  I can make that into a tank top!"

Shooting leaves man dead at Fontana wedding reception




Of all the places in the IE to expect a shooting, I would think WEDDING RECEPTION would be pretty low on that list. 

Not so at a wedding reception in
FONTANA! 

One man was shot to death late Saturday night after a fight broke out.  The backyard reception was being held at a house along the 15000 block of
Hawthorne Avenue…it was about 1am when a couple of dudes had a difference of opinion over a female.  Their respective relatives got involved, and one dude pulled out a gun and fired once, hitting two people.   A Riverside man was killed, another was wounded in the leg.  A 22-year-old Riverside man was arrested.  Police tell the Daily Bulletin alcohol was involved.  Ya think??


Quick memo to those of you getting married – you may want to go over the guest list one more time and cross off the names of anybody you think is capable of bringing a gun to a reception.


MELEE #2 - Dozens BRAWL at Corona apartment

This next melee isn’t as embarrassing as brawling at a wedding reception – and it even was less deadly.  But it’s still embarrassing what went down Sunday night in Corona.   

This was NOT the brawl in Corona.  This involved the Garden Grove City Council.  Maybe.

Apparently, there was an argument at an apartment complex between folks in the upstairs and downstairs apartments.  The brouhaha went down at the complex on 1790 Via Pacifica Sunday night, and at the point of most hate, 30 people were brawling!  Two men were stabbed, two others were taken to the hospital.  It took 21
Corona police officers to break up the fight.


YOUTH GONE WHACK!
Young teen arrested for rape in Montclair

Montclair police have arrested a man they say raped a 14-year-old girl. 

Actually, it’s more like they arrested a BOY suspected of grabbing the girl while she was walking down a sidewalk before dragging her into an alley and raping her a week ago.  Officers arrested a 13-year-old with the help of the victim’s family…the girl’s older brother thought he recognized the dude from the above sketch drawing.  Family members fanned the streets knocking on doors until the older brother found the house where the suspect lives. 



SIGN #718 YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT
When you’re shot and killed by a BEAR HUNTER. 


Let’s go to
Washington, where it is BEAR SEASON…the above 54-year-old woman was out hiking when she stopped to put something in her backpack.  That would be the LAST thing she did, as she was then shot and killed by a juvenile hunter who thought she was a brown bear.  The boy was not arrested, and the woman's family has said, "He's a young boy, and young boys make mistakes."

HUH?  Let's compare!



Nope.  Not even close.


Would you like FRIES with that SHIRT?

Who knew Happy Meals came with knuckle sandwiches? 

A fast food employee has been canned, and a customer has been arrested after a dispute over a food order led to a brouhaha in the drive thru.  Let’s go to
Florida, where dude placed his order, the fast food employee repeated the order . . . then argument broke out over the price of the order.  As dude got to the pull up window, the argument escalated, with the employee reaching out and punching the customer in the face.  The customer grabbed the employee and - using a stellar hockey move - pulled the employee’s workshirt over his head, eventually removing it and driving away. 

Police found the employee’s shirt at the customers house.  


WTF?!

Meanwhile, a Minnesota man has been arrested for committing the QUINELLA of driving enfractions. 

Because simply doing 80 in a 25 zone is worth an arrest. 

Driving the wrong way while doing 80 in a 25, that’s an EXACTA. 

TEXTING while driving the wrong way while doing 80 in a 25, that’s a TRIFECTA!

But doing all of the above while DRUNK?  QUINELLA!!!



GO DEEP . . . but not THAT deep!

There are plenty of places to throw the football.  At a park.  On the beach.  In the backyard. 

While overlooking the ocean in
Big Sur?  

 A German tourist is lucky to be alive after he and his friends decided to toss a football while enjoying the views of
Big Sur from a turnout…however, one pass went a little too far, and this German couldn’t keep both feet inbounds as he fell 250 feet over the side.  The local sheriff’s department had to rapell down the cliff to retrieve the guy, who suffered lacerations to the face. 

Experts say the two worst places to play football are near a 250-feet cliff; the other is Dolphin Stadium



YOU CALL THAT A VACATION?!
Props go to the European couple who, while flying from Israel to Paris, remembered their 18 suitcases…but left their 3-year-old at the airport. 

I’m sorry…this is a supposed to be a vacation??  18 suitcases??  Bringing a three-year-old?? 

Luckily, the child was not harmed…and was quickly adopted by Angelina Jolie

Rialto officer frisks teen - accidentally shot

A Rialto police officer remains hospitalized after he was accidentally shot while searching a 17-year-old boy last night.  The officer was one of two who approached a group of teens in front of the Renaissance Village apartments.  While they began searching the teens, a gun fell out of one of the boy's shorts, hit the ground and fired.  The rookie officer was struck in the leg and taken to the hospital in good condition.  The teen was arrested and charged with possessing a loaded firearm.

FOLLOW UP: A woman claiming to be the aunt of the 17-year-old called to say the police roughed up her nephew by handcuffing him, them dragging him on the ground.  When I responded that I have heard NO reports regarding any police brutality, I asked, "Shouldn't MORE 17-year-olds with guns get their asses kicked?"  She took umbrage - OH NO YOU DIN'T!!

Maybe she'll call tomorrow and agree to go on the air.


Rialto man killed at house party in . . . northside UPLAND?!

The type of home you'll find in San Antonio Heights.  This type of home is called a POOL HOUSE

Let’s go to … SAN ANTONIO HEIGHTS?  That’s where a 30th birthday party was being thrown along the 2500 block of Mountain Avenue.  Police tell the Daily Bulletin<
