PrintYes, I have yet another locker room story. Yesterday I was in the shower when I saw It. I didn't mean to see It, but I did. Frankly, It was so damn big...I thought it was perhaps the first zebra --> human transplant. The It I'm refering to is the L-shaped penis of a man in this late 40's. I know. He might never need a cane or a walker when he gets older.

2. California: The only real question with the Bears -- other than whether they can keep running back Jahvid Best healthy -- is quarterback. Lots of observers believe incumbent starter Kevin Riley did enough during the spring to take a decisive lead. But the question remains whether one of those observers is coach Jeff Tedford.

Golden Bears 10th after Round 1 at NCAA Southwest Regional
AUSTIN, Texas – First-day action at The University of Texas Golf Club left the Golden Bears in 10th place and 10 shots off the pace with 36 holes to play for a top-five finish at the NCAA Southwest Regional. Eric Mina sank three birdies Thursday to help offset a double bogey and four bogeys, making him California’s top golfer in a tie for 18th place at 3-over.
At the completion of three rounds, with 18 holes per day, the top-five teams and best individual from each of this year’s six regions advance to the championships May 27-30 in Toledo.
Third-seeded Texas Tech is the only team under par at minus-2 and holds a nine-stroke lead over host Texas. Florida sits third, one stroke in front of top-seeded Stanford.
UNLV and Lamar University are both at 12-over to mark the current cutoff for 5th place, above which the Bears need to climb by the end of Saturday.

Cal Recruit Tom Shields Breaks High School Record in 200 Free
WALNUT, CALIF. – California incoming freshman, Tom Shields, broke the national high school record in the men’s 200-yard freestyle yesterday (May 13) at the CIF Division I prelims in Walnut, Calif. Shields, a 6-3, 190-pounder from Huntington Beach (Edison High School) clocked a time of 1:33.83, smashing the public school record of 1:35.55 set by Eric Diehl in 1991. Shields’ swim also topped the overall record of 1:34.96 set by Joe Hudepohl of St. Xavier High School in Ohio in 1991.
Shields also swims for the Mission Viejo Nadadores and competed in the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, posting a time of 55.77 in the 100-meter butterfly. Swimming for the U.S. Junior National Team at the 2008 Victorian Championships in Australia, he held off the now retired Grant Hackett in the anchor leg of the 800-meter freestyle relay to give the United States the victory (7:30.86-7:31.29). Shields was the California Sectional Meet champion in the 200 fly and 200 free in 2008. He was the men’s overall top scorer at last year’s California Sectional Meet as well.
“I chose Cal because coach David Durden and assistant coach Greg Meehan are assembling a team of very strong young men…a team I want to be a part of,” Shields said. “Strength and conditioning coach Nick Folker is awesome and I believe in the immense power dryland training gives swimmers. I just knew between the school, the coaches, and most of all the team, that Cal was the place for me.”

Tedfordian wristbands making their way to baseball
I got your indicator sign right here
Cal is among a growing number of college teams that have switched to a different system that uses numbers rather than hand gestures. If you go to a baseball game in Berkeley, a bingo game might break out.
Head coach David Esquer, in the first-base box, is giving the signs with his fingers after looking at his master chart. Three-one-fist (for zero) before one pitch. Three-two-one on the next. The batter and runner each check the numbers on a chart wedged in their plastic wrist band.
Don’t bother trying to decipher the code. All the numbers come out of a computer program, and there may be 25 three-digit combinations (out of 200) that mean steal. Unless you have a telephoto lens like a newspaper photographer to give you a close-up look at a wristband, the system is pick-proof.
“You see quarterbacks in the NFL having to go to their wrist bands, and they’re running multimillion-dollar offenses,” Esquer said. “I figure we can run some baseball plays on the wrist as well.”
Is there any downside to the numbers system? “The cards slide in and out a little, so you have to adjust them now and then,” said first baseman Mark Canha, Cal’s leading hitter at .356. “That’s about as bad as it gets. It’s a system where you can’t miss any signs really.”
“You don’t have to worry about picking up certain indicators, so it’s pretty simple,” said second baseman Jeff Kobernus, a .351 hitter. "It slows down the game a little bit because (Esquer) has to give it to both the runner and the batter. Sometimes people in the stands will (mockingly) ask, ‘What was that number again?’ "
Nearly 100 college teams are using the system, and many high school teams are jumping on board, too. Some teams use it just for conveying pitch signals to their catchers, who consult their wristbands and then use traditional finger signals to the pitchers. Pitchers are prohibited from using wristbands because they could be distracting to batters.

A tiny bit of irony
So Ohio Bear and I will be giving a speech tomorrow on “blogging legal issues.” Perhaps we should have titled it “all I really need to know I learned on CGB”. Anyway, in doing my research yesterday to seem like an expert tomorrow, I discovered that pretty much everyone on CGB will (1) get fired and (2) go to jail.
If you want to know more, you’ll have to hire me and pay me oodles of money.

The advertising on this site makes the commercial v non-commercial aspect a bit more challenging. Also, a single mistake is enough to cause liability, but routine mistakes make it more likely you’ll get caught/punished. That being said, how likely is it the person who took the photo of Anquish Ape is gonna take the time to find the “infringer” and try to get tons of cash from their deep pockets, etc?

As a result, Ape has now indeed been diagnosed with depressed, anxiety, and agorophobia….all of which can and will be demonstrated in a court of law to be a direct result of your actions here on CGB.

After the shower, I headed over to my tiny locker where I proceeded to get dressed. In front of my locker there’s a bench where I had my spectacles and what not.
Well, Mr. Tripod soon finished showering and, somehow, his locker was also near mine. He, of course, does not wrap the the towel around him which can likely be explained by a) his generation (there all fucking nudists I swear) and b) the size of his third wheel. Anyway, he walks up behind me while I’m sitting down and says, “Hey, mind if I use some bench.” He and his zebra schlong are probably a foot away.

"Stanford has no fear of losing versus Cal, as they have done so every year but one for the last 20 years. They are, however, very afraid to get injured and indeed fear for their safety." - Furd Rugby Coach on forfeiting 2001 Rugby game vs. Cal
So bizarre
and out of nowhere, I had to read that sentence twice. And after that, I wished I hadn’t read it ever.
More uncertainty for USC’s future: the state may auction off the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The case of the Los Angeles Coliseum is dogged by the question of who would be willing to buy it. The University of Southern California last year signed a 25-year lease for the property to host its football games, something that the university says it has the right to keep regardless of whether the property changes hands.
USC says it isn’t actively looking to be the owner because under its lease deal the state has agreed to pay for about $60 million in improvements including replacing the stadium’s seats and building a new scoreboard. Leasing “makes more sense” said Kristina Raspe, who manages the university’s assets and real estate.
The governor’s $400 million price tag for the coliseum has been called an exaggeration by those familiar with the property. Zev Yaroslavsky, a Los Angeles County Supervisor who serves as the president of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, said a 2001 appraisal of the property pegged its value at just $16 million. It’s lost value since, he said. “It’s a kind of fiscal fantasy,” says Mr. Yaroslavsky.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
The value of the stadium is effectively whatever someone is willing to pay for it
As I wrote last year, valuing a unique piece of property like this is very difficult, and while the Governor is almost certainly overestimating, $16 million seems really low to me. Were the stadium to burn to the ground, the land itself must be worth more than that.
Then again, the Toronto Blue Jays recently purchased the Rodgers Centre for $1, so value really is in the wallet of the purchaser.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

13. California Golden Bears
This might very well be the season in which California finally breaks through in the Pac-10. The Bears have been close before — they climbed as high as No. 2 in the national rankings before finishing 7-6 in 2007. Coach Jeff Tedford has earned the reputation of a quarterback guru, but Cal’s passers have been pretty mediocre in recent seasons. Kevin Riley will have to hold off Brock Mansion and Beau Sweeney to win the starting job this year. But the Cal offense starts with tailback Jahvid Best, who ran for 1,580 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. He missed spring practice after undergoing foot and elbow surgeries. All-American center Alex Mack will have to be replaced up front, and the receiver corps is far from a finished prospect. Three of the team’s four starting linebackers must be replaced, including star Zack Follett. The Cal secondary is one of the most underrated in the country, after finishing sixth in pass-efficiency defense and ranking third nationally with 24 interceptions last season. Cal will have to play better on the road this season, with games at Minnesota, Oregon, UCLA and Arizona State looming on the schedule.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
5 of the 16 stops on Ted Miller’s ultimate Pac-10 road trip for this season are for Cal games. Miller seems to know more about local food than a certain someone who likes I-house “because it’s closest to the stadium.”
Week 3
Sept. 19 — California at Minnesota
Minnesota has 18 starters back from a bowl team and a fancypants new stadium, so this is a big road test for the Bears. Recall the embarrassing egg the Bears laid last year at Maryland.
Dinner at: The St. Paul Grill
Week 4
Sept. 26 — California at Oregon
It’s hard to pass up Arizona State’s visit Between the Hedges — Athens, Ga., can be riotous fun (not that I’d know anything about that …). But this is a major showdown of Pac-10 contenders who both envision dethroning USC.
Dinner at: Beppe & Gianni’s Trattoria
Week 5
Oct. 3 — USC at California
If California survives its early-season gauntlet — and USC survives Ohio State — this could be a matchup of national title contenders. Or, at least, it should have major Rose Bowl implications.
Dinner at: Le Cheval
Week 11
Nov. 14 — Arizona at California
Arizona put a pretty good whipping on Cal last year, so the Bears are sure to be hungry for revenge.
Dinner at: Chez Panisse
Week 12
Nov. 21 — California at Stanford
The Big Game might actually live up to its name.
Dinner at: Original Joe’s
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
If you want to eat at Chez Panisse on November 14, better make your reservations by last weekend.

To YO’s credit, he actually did take questions from us.

True that. I almost always go to a game in Berkeley every year. My goal is to attend two games a year, so its usually a game in Berkeley, and the game in LA, whether that’s against UCLA or USC.
But this year I was thinking of taking the show on the road, and Oregon in Eugene would be fun to go in and taunt those incredibly die-hard Duck fans (they paint their boats and trucks green and yellow!), or out to ASU because I’ve never been there.

Does anyone remember the old Telephone game?
If you don’t here’s a refresher. One person thinks of a word or a phrase. He/She whispers it to the next person in line who whispers to the next and on and on until the last person who hears it says it out loud what it is. Hilarity ensues.
There is this game called Broken Picture Telephone which is sort of like Telephone except different. First person writes something. Second person draws as accurately as possible what the person before him wrote. Third person tries to write what he/she sees in the drawing (and you can only see what the person before you drew or wrote) and so on. The last person always writes.
Anyway some examples:
I started this by saying “”http://www.brokenpicturetelephone.com/view?id=40753" >The California Golden Bears Wins National Championship" and it turned into something different.

Part III of Being Hit in the Head with Pleasure Giving Devices
I was an architeture student. Following our final presentations, madness generally ensues as roughly 200 students attempt to move their projects from the Wurster lobby, back into their studios on the 5-9 floors. The elevators are always cramp with models, drawings, people, chairs, and whatever else might be around.
During my second semester at Cal, another studio presenting at the same time as mine, had the subject of the human body. From there, they were able to explore, research, b.s. and design a building based on something relating to the human body. One student studied the penis. I don’t know what their argument was, I don’t know what their building looked like, as I said, they were in a different studio. What I do know, is their final project involed a large piece of plywood with several dildos nailed to it.
Anyway, I was in the elevator escorting my model from the lobby to my desk. I look up and I see a bunch of dildos attached to this large sheet of plywood. At first I am leary because they are swaying excessively. I stare down the dildos, and decide that the nails are in fact capable of holding the weight of the dildo, and therefore did not have to worry about the dildo falling about 5 ft. on to my model made out of bass wood and glue, crushing 60 hours of my life in an instant.
As the elevator ascends, I relax into a false sense of security. At the 5th floor, all the young-ins in ED11A get out, taking their drawings with them. However, while exiting the elevator one such student tripped on the corner of a model sitting on the floor. She therefore flew forward crashing into the student with the dildo project in their hands. That project, then flies forward and crashes into the elevator wall. A medium sized flexible pink pleasure play thing detaches from the plywood, and becomes propelled towards my model.
All space and time slows, and I panic, I instantly act to defend my model. Craddling the model in a standing fetal position, my head and back become exposed. The dildo then hits me in the back my head and falls harmlessly to the floor of the elevator. I gave a serious stank eye to both the dildo project holder and the trippee, but remained calm.
This is the third time I was hit in the head…. actually, no. This is story was fabricated. I’ve only been hit in the head by a dildo twice. Sorry.

The FDA has recalled Nyaninmeum, and are now recommending consumers switch to the use of Marvinium as the top receiving boost available.

You should consider yourself lucky
It wasn’t stolen from you.
I think the farther away you get from the Yay Area the more Go Bears! You’ll get.
So Mrs. CALumbus Bear and I were taking a tour of the UN building in NYC, and I saw these student-age folks wearing Cal shirts and hats. I get real excited whenever I see people wearing Cal stuff, so I go over and say “Hey, Go Bears!”. But these folks are students who were on a weekend trip to NYC, and they see other Cal people 9,000 times a day, so they were just like “why is this old dude talking to us?”
I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and an Old Blue (around 70) was wearing a Cal hat and we struck up a conversation. He said he “never missed a game.” He then explained he watches them all on TV, and doesn’t attend any games in person. I told him he was missing every game. Then he told me to get off his lawn, etc.
Mrs. CALumbus Bear and I were driving around in my blue pimpsled, which has the plates “CAL BRZ”, and some people in a minivan next to us at a traffic light started beeping. I look over and a guy in a Cal rugby jersey is holding up the Cal logo from his jersey into the window, giving me a high five and a “Go Bears”. It made the cost of my custom plates worthwhile. Shame that a Cal alum drives a minivan, tho.

Come to think of it, your car is a pimpsled.
In case any CGBers are wondering, the dude in the minivan from this story wasn’t me. I have, to date, avoided ownership of a minivan.
