E's Surf Report

french toast

go e!

that is a great way to get over a divorce.
i know.

Anyone having any luck with the contest stream?

meanwhile, scores of guys who read that will have huge knots in their stomach having experienced similar walk-ins that stomped their soul into the dirt. especially since very few of them ever experienced the subsequent silver lining described above. In fact I was working on my own silver lining in the story above.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7346966394232063929&pl=true

what is with all the "giggling"? sounds kinda feminine. if a guy giggles, a chick will know he is semi-gay and bail.

Believe me, I know, my chick called me out on it, then she went camping in Baja and got double-teamed in a tent by two married guys. says she still loves me though.

you're right giggler. I wrote the above in about 30 seconds before a meeting. I took out the giggle stuff.

That kinda reminded me of the video scene in the movie Jarhead.

If I found out my chick was cheating on me, i'd tell her I just found out i'm HIV+, and that we should break up. That would be a nervous as hell 6 months for her. Karma's a bitch.

Bottom

Hell yeah!

E, how was that meeting? Loving it?

good observations giggler, very funny. are you also the Wise Lip Smacking Guy? that one had me rolling

Contrary to popular belief in the West, Karma does not follow a linear timeline.

So, the 'Karmic reward' of the anonymous poster above for telling that heinous lie to his partner would be his cuckoldry.

Sometimes when a person is vex with you or think you've done some wrong to them, they'll say "Karma's gonna get you." But what if you messing with them is *their* karma coming back to get them, through you?

That, perhaps, is why some drop-ins never get repaid. Deeeeeeeeep thoughts.....

Karma is only between the people it's connected to. One cannot be a "karma messenger" per se as it would create a karmic fate between you and the victim of your alleged karmic payback. This is understood as the circle of naan.

Mmmm....naan.

Mmmmm....payback.

one of the girls licked his face? his *face*?? that lick could have been put to better use IMO...

cheaters never win...

Rama KarmaBot, I see, but in some instances, why can't a person be the vessel for karma discharging into another person? Why do you think we even get to choose whether it does or doesn't happen that way?

Some people who say "karma's gonna get you" are really saying "I wish *I* could get you but I don't have the resources, so I'm going to make up something spooky and nebulous about 'what comes around goes around' so that I can attack you on some divine level and feel better and less weak about this situation."

Nope, I am not 'Wise Lip Smacker Guy'. That was a good one though!

I must say that the Wise reports have gotten more accurate over the past year. I used to call that number when I had just surfed really good OB to see what lip-smacker would say, and it was usually "uhhh, its OK out here, not all that great... but we are having a sale on funshapes and other gear". classic.

I think they have started to learn that when you dont lie, you get more business, which means more money. Duh. cool guy old-school OB attitude is waning at Wise. vague isnt vogue for the 'hardcore' locals anymore.

A sort-of personal sense of accountability must be established. Cannot use karma to serve as the means to a personal end.

e, in the story, regarding the chicks that doubled up on that guy in the tent, did they have tramp stamps by chance?

they must have been from SoCal too, those chicks are so damn EASY down there... YAHOO!!

I just got the "lip-smacker" Wise reference. I like his reports, he sounds like one of the younger guys there.

BTW Wise rarely, if ever, lies about the surf. They usually call it under actual size, if anything, and they always seem to fess up to any slop or mediocrity in the wave quality. I'm not trying to plug Wise, I don't know them or work there, but I think they do a good job.

nice story e, esp for a rushed one before a meeting.

I also used to phone wise after an epic session to hear him say something like 'totally unsurfable at the beach today' or 'completely blown out'.

I used to wonder if I was calling another wise shop on another beach. Used to crack me up.

In all fairness I supposed it's hard to keep your spirits up having to drone on the answer phone every few hours. he probably just glances at horizon and then makes something up.
although I found his weather reports to be strangly accurate tho...

holy shit that is some tramp stamp!!

Goes nicely with the stretch marks...

I am most honored to recieve your reply KDV. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you. I cannot devote the time neccssary to answer your very fine questions regarding the karmic fate of individuals today. I hope that at another juncture we are allowed the opportunity to contunue this most fascinating discussion of exploring the boundries of karma in western culture and surfing blogs. Perhaps over chai and my aunites fine pickled limes and sweets.

I'd hit it, but I might not eat it like I normally do.

Any takers on the surf this am? looks big and dirty...well foggy now.

i believe tramp stamps are technically on the other side. Above would be a stomach stamp or something?

stomache stamp for some, a target for others

I'm considering a large WalMart logo for either my chest or face. or both.

Technically, the tramp stamp is a coin size tattoo on the front, inside or near the bikiki line. On the other side you'll find an ass rack or an ass hat. I hope that clears things up.

"Spring Thomas"
Holy Cow!
google her. very impressive.

another term for the lower back tattoo - the santa cruz license plate

that is according to Playboy

watch out for those worn and dented license plates that look like they been bumped a few too many times.

Great story e.
I keep hoping for that surfari with the SUV filled with 5 super hot surfer chicks, but it just doesn't seem to ever happen.
What am I doing wrong?

is it me or did AI grow his hair long and peroxide the tips?

or were those pictures of the ROXY tour?

its you fanboy

Cosmo - I'm afraid I'm going to have to take issue with your assertion on the size and location of tramp stamp.

Quoting wikipedia:

Tattoos can have additional negative associations for women; "tramp stamp" and other similarly derogatory slang phrases are sometimes used to describe a tattoo on a woman's lower back.

Quoting the urban dictionary:

(tramp stamp, n) - a tattoo on the boundary between the lower back and butt of a female.

I think the fundamental difference could probably be explained by the fact that the 'tramp stamp' is meant to be visible with certain everyday attire, whilst a small tattoo on the inside or front of the bikini line is less likely to be viewed.

Therefore the visible tattoo in that provocative area is a clear sign / mark of TRAMP!

am i the only one who can't see the contest?

Oh My God, I'm so wet!!!

Uh, maybe it's because it's only 7:15 at Bell's and the contest doesn't start till 7:30?

Ha stoopid seppos.

When I lived in SC, I had this sweet night with two chicks. One of them is now my wife, but back then it was the only about a week or three into our relationship. The other girl was a relationship that was just sort of ending. Anyway, I came home, and they were both over, sitting on the couch, talking with one of my roommates. After a while they asked if I wanted to go out for a drink, but I said no, cause' I had some physics homework to do. So they go out together, have a few drinks, and come back after an hour or so. They come into my room, "giggling", seriously e, you nailed it, that's exactly what they do.

The giggles quickly turned into making out with each other. I wasted no time, I put down Griffiths and my mechanical pencil, stood up, and got involved with a three way kiss. Next thing you know, it was full-on threeway - best night of my life. Hittin' it from behind, while the one I'm in is eating the other out, bent over her back, kissing the one getting eaten. Oh my gawd! It was fucking awesome!!

pretty standard stuff

oh, ya. I totally knew that. I was just testing you guys.

i was just thinking how much cuter AI looks with his long, bleached out hair. more like a chill surfer and less like an aggro jock/frat boy. i guess that's why i'll never be that into baseball? but am a pro-ho through and through, i guess.

no shame in knowing who/what you are. scorn, but no shame.

bump and run...you cracked me up! very funny

jizzy, does that chick come over and visit you and your wife much these days? if so, you are STOKED!!!

story is only valid if neither chick is fat and both are hot.

4:20 mountain time

shoutout to niceness. the rain is beat (surf = sinus infections for me the last two months) but the hills are green and the redwoods happy. on an amateur meteorological note, the NWS is calling for high pressure to build on Monday into Tuesday. at the least, serious SUN, and possibly good winds? no promises.

since today's theme seems to be more sexual than surftastic, here's a question: ever notice girls can tell when you need it, so they don't give it to you? i must be giving off the i need it vibes cause i sure can't get any. woe is me!

but it's Wednesday and The Golden Road is on KZSC, best radio ever (besides saturday morning latin reggae, tres mundos). love to all the lovers!

Good news on the anti-malarial front for the 500 million afflicted each year in this world: major breakthrough was just annouced at Berkeley for producing the best antimalarial drug available today through synthetic microbial production, which will one day lead to substantially reduced treatment costs for developing countries. this is good news

and now, a bio buddhist poem:
be
C
G
A

your life
expressed in 3 billion bases
the entire humming blueprint in each of your 20 trillion cells
breathe this moment
as the double helixes unwind and translate into your life
how many molecules move when you blink
or think
or have a threesome
surf or sink.
the universe is large, inside you and out,
Respect its ancient evolution and existence
in this moment that you
Are.
All.

Don't waste your time Being Bullshit.

are you calling me out? what waste? I've been busy.

lots of base-pairs in shit too, no?

shit is food for many living things.

food for thought

good point. shit is cool. it just smells bad. be whatever you want to be. then there are the questions of free will, does shit get to decide to be shit? i just dropped off a good one.

Yup thats OB, just not today.

why do all my hot thong pics get censored nowadays?
Is this no longer a forum where onions are appreciated?

no, we can all find our own b-grade porn thank you very much

Hey am I the only one that hates our tax systems? the working barley middle class get so fucked....ARGH!!!

In other news...did you catch Bruceys barrell at bells?

i meant "barely"

i'm going to get my barley working at the anderson valley fest next month.

niceness will never censor onions. Many servers are set up NOT to allow hotlinking, which basically sucks bandwith.

Is that natural born cocksuckers some kind of homage to tit job scars? Those first two have terrible scaring...

Sad to see two beautiful girls with dirty great red welts under their breasts...

"More good vibes" -- you are talking my language! Great, great, great post/poem

You can now email me at: onyeka_alex1@yahoo.co.in

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the first Son of His Royal Majesty Highness S.R.P Onyeka,the traditional ruler of Eleme province in the Oil rich area of Rivers state in Nigeria. I am making this contact to you in respect of the large sum of money, which I inherited from my late father.This money was accumulated from royalties paid to my father as compensation by the Oil firms located in our area as a result of oil presence in our land, which hampers Agriculture which is our main source of livelihood.

Unfortunately my father died from protracted diabetes.But before my father's death he called my attention and informed me

that he lodged some funds with a security firm abroad with an open beneficiary.The lodgment security code number was also revealed to me.And after his death I thought it wise to contact a reliable business partner abroad that will assist me in investing the money in a lucrative business as a result of Economic instability in Nigeria. So this is the major reason why I am contacting you to claim this money from the security

firm to your country for investment purpose.

Another vital factor is that, due to my Political involvement and activities, and in order not to break the Political Code of Conduct Bureau,I do not want anybody here to know that I inherited such a huge amount of money to avoid being probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission.(ICPC) So I will like you to be the ultimate beneficiary,so that the funds can be released to you from the Security Company. I had intimated the security firm personnel that the beneficiary of the fund is my late Father's Foreign Partner whose particulars will be forwarded to the firm when due. But I will guide you accordingly.

And as soon as the funds reach you, I will come over to meet you in person,so that we can discuss physically on investment potentials.And based on this assistance I have decided to give you 20% of the total amount, 10% will be for charity homes abroad and for expenses which may arise during the transaction, and the remaining 70% you will assist me in investing it in your country on any lucrative business.I wish to let you know that this money is not Government money nor is it drug money and it is not money from arms deals.Please kindly maintain a

high degree of confidentiality on this matter.And I hope this will be the beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.I look forward to a wonderful, healthy business relationship with you.please contact me via this email address:onyeka_alex1@latinmail.com

Yours Faithfulness

Sactomex, keep posting man, we love those onions.

Viva Sactomex, Viva Las Cebollas!!

Hey, where does the name "Sactomex" come from? Are you from Excremento or something?

your secret's safe with me

born there...total val

val!

Yeah, some of the n.b.c.s. chicks have nasty scarring, you gotta dig deep for the unblemished nuggets. Trust though, theres some talent in some of the middle-page profiles.

that pic above is super gross. what is she, twelve? big thumbs down also to the term onion-degrading, even in the context of this website, which i recognize is not about ending the objectification and subjugation of women. once again, simply MHO. out.

agreed that pic was not Sacto's best, but how is "onion" degrading to girls that are flaunting their asses on the internet?

sactomex, it depends on where you source your pics from.

whatev. Me and jizzy are hitting the clubs tonight.

Hey steamwand, I found your camera

psyche!

Sactomex and jizzy together on the hunt... I've got this mental picture...it's so wrong.

Sunset and a few waves at Pacifica. Take what I can get right? Nothing big just fun for shit and giggles.

3to5, our tax system sucks more if you make less. It is not really the middle class getting hit.

As you make more and more, you get taxed less and less, It is the American way.

Citizens for Tax Justice has a lot on it. They add up sales, property, and income tax, and show that, as a fraction of income, the poor pay twice as much as the rich.

If you're just getting on about income taxes (probable given today is the 13th), you need to buy a house and get a nice write-off.

for people who don't understand.....

Sales taxes are regressive, because people who make less spend more, as a fraction of their income, on almost everything. They need to go.

Property taxes are ALSO regressive. You may think, well, poor people don't own houses. Not in SF, but in many parts of California they do. And, just like sales taxes, home values are larger, as a fraction of income, for poorer people. Property taxes are hugely regressive, they have to go.

Poor people are taxed for social security, and also for income. Rich people make a lot of earnings from stock appreciation. It is not taxed for social security, so they pay half as much tax on it. Then, the deduction system hits the poor guy too...people who write off business losses, and mortgage interest, and other stuff, all richer folks, and it reduces their tax load substantially. Poor guy takes standard deduction.

The whole system is focked. Should totally scrap it, and tax everyone on income, with all income considered equally. Scrap property and sales taxes, and do it all based on income.

That will never happen though, because poor people would pay 30-40% less taxes, and rich people would pay twice as much...and rich people give money to politicians to rig the system to benefit them....the Republican party motto is "the cure for all fiscal troubles is a tax cut for the rich".

Surplus? Tax cut for the rich.

Deficit? Tax cut for the rich.

Inflationary threat? Tax cut for the rich.

Recession threat? Tax cut for the rich.

Over time, these all add up, and the rich are not nearly paying their fair share, and most of them know it and are willing to pay....

The bush corporation global hostile takeover plan is ALL ABOUT RICH PEOPLE. What happened in Louisiana is a clear example. Low life high profile thieves like Tom DeLay, the Enron criminals, etc will always be just fine. The only difference between the corrupt slimebags lining their pockets who run this country and the crook despots who work small African or Latin countries is the sizes of the takes.

Anon, thanks. I'm quite aware of the situation. Just pissed about it.
I'm in complete support a flat tax system. Sadly only uber conservative Steve Forbes is in favor of it.

OMG! tax discussions are so interesting.

BULLSHIT on the "make more/get taxed less" propaganda.
I made more this year, and hit a HIGHER tax bracket and had to pay MUCH more. so, your anti-bush propaganda/theory is not really a fact.

I'm all for a FLAT TAX system, btw. our system sucks, but to say that you pay less if you make more is utter bullshiester.
if i made less than $40k, i'd pay nothing in taxes. if i was an illegal alien, i'd pay no taxes either (but still get free education, health care, and a driver's license)

3x5, try living in any other country and let me know how you dislike US tax policy after a couple years. you might get "free health care" in some other countries, but you'll be paying 60% taxes. and NO write off for interest on a mortgage in other countries.

We have it SO GOOD here. good luck!

hey bob, you have to hook me up with that free health care the illegals are getting. i am paying through the nose for crappy health care now i had no idea there was a free alternative. oh, and also free education. how could i have missed that, cause i'm still paying off loans from that high priced education that qualifies me for the all the best mediocore jobs.

just claiming it's better than somewhere else don't mean it's good.

I paid about the same in taxes in the UK / USA (from the UK live in the USA) - and you get free health care, decent public transport etc... in the uk for your money.

A huge amount of US tax payers cash is pissed up the wall here (but you already knew that). Can anyone say half a trillion dollars for an illegal war?!

Mind you gas is upto 8 bucks a gallon in the UK so you can always complain about that.

Swings and roundabouts..

My stubblies are itchin

I now realize how so many people are so misinformed. Personal anecdotal evidence taken and extrapolated to the other 250 million people in the US. "I made more money than last year and I paid more taxes. Simple, right?. Dumbdy, dubdy, dumbdy dum."

I've hired illegal aliens and you know what? They get fake SS numbers and when they work - income tax, social security, etc. is deducted from their paychecks! And then we pay payroll tax on them as well. And they never collect from SS so we get more SS benefits! And you think illegals don'y buy cars, cans of coke, gasoline? Ever hear of sales tax? And then they pay rent on some slum, so some slumlord can finance his mortgage and property tax!

Says she's born to be wild
All she wants in life
Is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving
Even though she knows
Something is wrong

On a different note, FishFry #5 is happening in San Diego this May. Anyone going? I got myself a 6' quad fishy thing from Haut and I'm lovin it every time I surf. Good or bad waves the board makes them better. I'm so into it I'd like to see this gathering of boards and maybe learn what my next board will look like.

exactly obro.

That's one reason why if you deported the 11M or so illegals in this country the entire US economy would come crashing down like a house of cards. They are a MASSIVE engine of the economy.

Not to mention the fact that the hospitality, farming, fruit, construction etc... industries would be destroyed.

That's why it's such a tough issue...

Free Health Care for Illegals 101-

1) an Illegal alien gets hurt/sick. he/she has not health insurance.
2) he/she goes to ER/Hospital.
3) he/she gets seen by doctor, xrays, MRI's, surgery, etc.
4) he/she has no insurance, he/she never pays
5) US Tax payers pay the bill -or- hospitals/health care providers raise rates to cover this x11 million people.

= FREE HEALTH CARE IN THE USA.

Massachussetts (sp?) just signed a landmark mandatory healthcare bill yesterday for just this reason.

the UK has free public transportation? not true.

Obro, talk about dumb generalizing.... calling the kettle black

Bob Kelso AKA Rush Limbaugh AKA Savage Nation AKA Fox News AKA lies lies lies

Ankors, you paid the same % in taxes in the UK that you do here?

Do you own a home in the UK? If so, how much of that mortgage interest is a write-off in the UK? something close to 0% maybe?

in the UK, if you make a low wage, are you not taxed like here in the US?

curious....

hey dr bob, everyone can walk in and do the same thing, not just illegals. in fact, citizens do, and most often ones that do not work earning a paycheck and contributing to the economy. so in effect, the illegals are paying for those peeps health care.

I said free healthcare and 'decent' Public transport, not free!!

We also have a crime rate that is far far higher than the US - but you can't have everything eh?

I concede the point of me (the pot) calling the kettle (Kelso) black. I apologize, it is hard making quick arguments on a blog that don't appear overly simplified. Everyone brings something to the table. There are no easy answers but I think a FLAT TAX and SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE would be a good start. I also think its hypocritical for anyone in the US to pick on immigrants and call for their criminalization and deportation.

dr bob has clearly never been hurt/sick and uninsured. just try and get quality/ongoing care with no insurance.

and holy shit, what kind of person complains about sick people getting medical attention!? class act there dr bob.

Dr. Bob, I like you, you talk my kind of talk.

go spend a day in the shoes of an undocumented worker and then tell me how 'illegal' they are.
what a shitty tag.

Yep, I question your statements so that makes me = Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

You probably consider yourself "Open Minded", right?
New ideas are good, facts are good, as long as they agree with your thinking. If someone disagrees with your statements then that person must be an Evil Right-Winger.
Right?

At least it always gives you and excuse to complain. good work, party on!

Bob, don't sweat these commies, we'd love to have you up to the house sometime.

keep whining about the right wingers, keep your minds "open" to ideas that are inline with your own.

that thinking sure helped the democrats in the last two elections...

wow. i never realized quite how funny looking occy was. i guess his hair used to hide it. no woman with this mug would EVER make it in pro surfing. the sponsors would run and hide when she came knocking.

Fuck, enough with the taxes, already. Who hit the surf today? There are some thumpers out there on the cams!

Bob Kelso, I don't want to live ANYWHERE else. I know we have it good. But I believe in a better way. So I vote. And in April I complain.

don't provoke me

you know E is out there at OB right now, called in "sick" to his job and is getting tubed as we blog.

he'll give you a roundhouse occback to the head.

i'm just sayin'. i know he rips like a mofo. i think he may win bells, depending on the surf, and he's almost 40. but the boy ain't a teenbeat heartthrob.

I know I'm ugly, but,,,, I am 40, I still rip, and your sister would still fuck me:

The surf looked terrible this morning.

is that how you like your boys to be, teenbeat heartthrobs?

funniest thing I've ever seen on the internet (was on this blog) was the Bjork and P.Diddy phone conversation animation.

And then I read this:

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/09/movies/09kenn.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

When Bjork was asked to describe her husband, she says "He's a bit of a submarine".

That is humor.

I'm no art critic but I think this Barney (Not SC surfer - that guy is funny as shit)guy is a bit of a sham that somehow gets amazing funding to do his "art".

Steamwand, I fully applaud you for your comments yesterday! About time, well done. Possible Ptown skate session for breakfast tomorrow?

Steamwand doesnt seem to like ugly surf pros or hot girls in thongs. What kind of a lesbian are you, anyway?

Are bonfires on OB a problem?

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) has proposed a ban on all
fires at Ocean Beach, potentially to begin May 1, 2006.

Read Dane Larson's feature article about the proposed ban at:
http://www.surfpulse.com/2006/downtheline/i_gather_round_the_fire_04111309.shtml

And let GGNRA know your opinion during the current public comment
period, which runs through this Saturday (April 15th) by going to:

Yellow, White, or Green.....

FAHK! That's a nice ass!

Damn, looks like the tide is killing it.

Dr Bob,

The comparison I am talking about didn't involve house, wife or kids or anything. I had the highest rate (for my income) in both countries. And it netted out about the same.

I was pretty surprised.

However you could make a somewhat valid statement that the UK has a much high sales tax (flat rate of 17.5%) so we pay some extra there.

I personally think that universal free healthcare is worth a few extra % tax. I will always happily pay that even if I use private healthcare (not uncommon in the UK). I guess I was brought up in a different culture but I think it is a universal responsibility of the state to look after it's people to at least that extent. (hospitals don't ask for a passport - they treat everyone the same)

If I was brought up in the USA I can see how I might have a different persective on this though.

No matter how much we debate it, if the people of the USA had wanted (or did want) free health care, a candidate would have run on that platform and it would be a done deal by now.

So it's hard to blame one party or the other - since if Clinton or Bush for that matter, tried to implement free healthcare they would be lynched from the white house flag pole quicker than you could say apple pie...

will someone do my taxes for me?

I am all for universal health care. It would be killer. but, you are correct that the majority of people DONT feel it is important enough to vote for (this can be blamed on the drug companies and "halliburtons", but if the people would vote it in, then it would be law, no excuses, no whining).

but, if one is to look at (and criticize) our tax system, then the whole tax system must be looked at, including write-offs that only exist in the USA. without these write-offs, (mortgage interest, child tax credits, etc.) our economy would crumble- a lot faster than it already is crumbling due to this fucked up bush administration.

Yep, that's right anon bill o'reilly and karl rove poster phag, I detest the bush administration and the right wingers and what they are doing to this country and our economy. just because i have a different view than the typical psuedo-lefty-anti-foxnews crew, doesnt mean i support bush or o'reilly. open your "open" minds.

now, how about some ONIONS please? meat flaps also accepted.

speaking of free health care,...can I get a curbside dr. bob?

Why is that woman carrying a gyoza in her thong?

Re: Matthew Barney
I saw the Cremaster exhibit at the Guggenheim and it was the most memorable art exhibit I've ever seen. Not the best but definitely the most memorable. Vaseline dripping everywhere. Agnostic Front playing to a bunch of kilted skinheads. Crazy shit My wife was physically ill after.

Dutch surf Cam;

That's a nice one Kaiser

ankors is a tranny!!!! tranny!!!!

we got smacked down

Has anyone played with a surf mat? they look fun.

why isn't it raining?

Read This!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a friend named Dustin (from America) who owns a scuba dive shop
in Cabo San Lucas. Dustin has been in Mexico for many years. I wonder
what he would say if I sent this to him?

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family and
I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the
border from the U.S. into Mexico and I need you make a few
arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration
quotas and laws. I'm sure Mexico will handle these things the same way
we do here. Would you please tell President Vicente Fox, that I'm on
my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might
need whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the
flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy
access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance and won't make any effort
to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo
from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police
officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on
my car and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any
complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a job without paying any taxes, and
don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and
never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place
on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already
expect all these things for the people who come to the U.S. from
Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you
ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

A U. S. Citizen

Occy surfed Fort about 10 years ago..or whatever.It was after a Contest in Santa Cruz and killing time before his flight left for Hawaii.Seeing his snaps at fort was great.He hid his wetsuit in the rocks after his surf because he did not want to pack a wet wetsuit.He said it was a fun wave but only wanted to get to Hawaii...

that last shot is awesome sacto

US Citizen, that was RAD!!

KIX will still argue that if you come here illegally that you are just 'undocumented'. crock of shite.

getting hornier

newly single - shoulda hung with sacto and I last night! It was off the hook.

are they really criminals? looking for work to sustain their existence? criminals? many of them have far superior ethics than most citizens, supporting families back home, humbly working the fringe. I would argue that the majority of people making the demands and seekeng the preferential treatment alleged above by US Citizens post are in fact mostly second and third generation descndents of immigrants, now US citizens. Very unlikely that the illigal immigrants are out there making noise and protesting. My ancestors came off a boat. were they documented? dunno. yours? if people with similar desires as your relatives were coming here seeking a better life, would you not rally for them?

Occy is probably the reason the Fort sucks so bad today. His gouges were so powerful they rearranged the rocks and took a left that once broke like Raglan and turned it into a fat mess. Thanks a lot Occy.

I can't link so here:

KIX, should we bust down the borders, close our immigration department and just let everyone in? let them send our entire GDP back to people that dont work in Mexico? take jobs from truck drivers and welders and machinists and send most of that money to Cuernavaca and Michoacan?

your argument is very passionate, but at the same time, without too much realistic thought.

my parents came here, legally, with visas proper visas. they do not think that we should let all these people in and provide for them with no questions asked.

talk to some legal immigrants that have come here lately, ask them if they think we should open all our borders as you suggest.

god knows i work my ass off, literally, here in the states. seen any of my movies?

I saw Occy at the Ft. too. Showed up for a session and remember driving in and seeing someone just rip up a wave. And I'm thinking that guy surfs like Occy. In the parking lot pull up "Dude Occy's out there" from some anon bro. It's always inspiring to see a top surfer rip the snot out of your local break. Espicailly if your a FAN.

Kix, well stated, I concur.

In my experience the Mexican and other immigrants work their asses off and complain little. I welcome them. Without them we'd be paying $5 for a head of lettuce. Their willingness to accept low wages subsidizes our standard of living. Whatever they suck off (dont get excited jizzy) in terms of education and welfare would be paid by us anyway in spades in the form of higher prices.

Briana I don't know about welders but right now the trucking companies are fairly desperate for more drivers. Anyone capable of driving a truck and staying off meth can get multiple job offers right now. The lack of available drivers is driving up costs which filter through to everyone. The oil rig operating companies are also desperate for workers. These Mexican cats aren't stealing anyone's job.

funny take on fort point anon.

where did I propose dismantling the border? I object to the label 'illegals' and I do not think that 'illegals' are making demands such as those suggested above by US citizen, (albeit in reverse). I do not think we should felonize the situation, which has been proposed, and I guess I would support an in-country amnesty or an expanded (and retro-active) guest worker visa program if you were to solicit my 'realistic' thoughts on the matter. as was stated previosly, we are all derived from immigrants, their fight is our fight.

LEFTISTLIBERALS4LYFE!!!!

In the last decade, there has been a huge spike in immigration from Mexico and Central America. The reason, as quoted to me by my graduate student friends (who are studying Public policy, Latin American Studies, and the like), is largely due to NAFTA. NAFTA has allowed the subsidized U.S. agricultural industry to dump it's produce into the countries to our south, which has driven so many mexican farms out of business, that the peasants they used to employ have turned Northward to look for work.

Its sort of hilarious how people get all worked up, and start fretting about how Mexicans crossing our borders are going to ruin our economy. Give me a fucking break.

I love tacos.

I love tobacco

sprinkled with hashish, that is

I LOVE ONIONS!!!!!!!

I love political talk on a surf blog

I love each and every one of you.

is it about surfing or surfers? surfers do politics too.

yawn!

BAM!

I jsut wish the cartels would start smuggling higher quality coke.

i wish we'd start getting more hot latina sluts smuggled up here. i would put them to work.

On a lighter note, who is the guy yesterday that said he nailed his wife while she was eating some other chick out?

THAT IS RAD!!!

peeling onions?

On a lighter note, who is the guy yesterday that said he nailed his wife while she was eating some other chick out?

THAT IS RAD!!!

Sorry for the double post, I am kinda stoned right now.

I use to work at construction sites for about
$30.00 an hour. Now the illigals are doing it for
around $10.00. I can only get about $20.00 an hour now. The big construction company's (the rich guys) are growing richer and I am getting poorer.
Don't let them tell you that these people are doing jobs that American don't want. They are just doing it for less money. The rich are getting richer and the poor growing poorer!!!!

My friend that was a cook at a local restaurant tells me the same thing has happened to him.

go back and get your high-school diploma then.

Why aren't the Mexican's MAD as Hell at the own government???? The Mexicans fly their country flag while they are trying to escape it at the same time!

Let me guess...It's the White Man's fault.

high school diploma??? I have one. $30.00 an hour is about $60,000 per year. Not a great living, but I could still get by and still surf. Now I can't? Funny how some American's care more about Mexicans than their own countrymen.
I guess they don't care until it effects them and their job. Hypocritical!

True. They flaunt the Mexi flag while they protest against America, in America.

Yes, it is the white man's fault.

I said it before, and I will say it again now:

WE SCIENTOLOGISTS OCCUPPIED THIS LAND 47 BILLION YEARS AGO, IT IS OUR LAND. YOU GO BACK TO EUROPE AND GIVE IT BACK TO US CLEAR THINKERS.
(if you want to stay, this can be arranged for a generous tax-deductible donation)

Great great gramps got off the boat and was immediately conscripted into the confederate army, presumably to do a job an american would not do. Dunno if he had documentation but I have to doubt it. Glad he came over though (and survived the civil war). Now I can surf and write on blogs instead of toiling in the homeland.

America has created many of the problems through welfare or government assistance.
If you dropped welfare from "able body Americans" and told them they need to work like everyone else or they don't eat then we would have more than enough people to do the jobs that Mexicans are doing right now. If you can make more money by collecting welfare than why work?

I heard a black dude interviewed last night. He was pissed. Said that the blacks had fought for the civil rights, not the browns. and they had to earn their rights. hot.

There is no pissed-off immigration point of view that makes any sense. The only one that makes sense to me is CHILL, take care of your own business. If someone is willing to work for less, than you better get creative jack-ass, cause its a free market whether you like it or not, and that is just the way shit equalizes itself. Build a wall?! I guess that worked in Berlin pretty well..and how is that panning out for Israel?

"If someone is willing to work for less, than you better get creative jack-ass, cause its a free market"

You sound like a rich guy that only cares about himself!

Yeah, I guess rich guys do talk like that. But half my family are hard working Mexicans from Sacto. My grandma used to pick tomatoes in the fields. Hard work is part of our culture, we do it, for the most part, without complaint. You work, you live..it is part of life. Quite complaining that your job is being stolen, cause if you want to work, you can work...especially in this country.

This county is becoming like other third world countries. The Rich and Poor. That is the problem Sir.
Oh and by the way...I'm Mexican too!

And it is becomming that way because of "illegal" immigration. Yeah, whatever.

Let me correct that. I am pround to be a LEGAL American first!!! My parents happen to have be born in Mexico.

Hey sac, chill out man. Cornholes is going off right now, meet me in the south lot!

what's your point?

jizz, I'm on it.

since when did this country become a third world country. Have you ever been to a third world country?

XENU is the 4th world, and you are getting damn close.

Phasors set to 'stun'.

Bells sure looks fun today.

Forget all the surf talk the posts of these young sweet things is the best thing going.

jizzy likes the smell of ass

an ave in SC was fun today

these young sweet things are great! I haven't gotten this much play since I was in college.

the ave and ave nots.

Surfseeker7, I too enjoyed "Mudd's Women,"
(or was it "I, Mudd")
back in the day Trek is good

O.B. fucking sucked in the p.m. Atleast it was sunny and warm today, though. I did talk to a young cute girl at the showers. Too bad she lives all the way in Tahoe.

Fuck it, let everyone in. All us who don't have shit can kick all the rich peoples asses and take their shit.

There are real problems with illegal immigration. It should stop.

For example, the number of cases of rare diseases is going up, the illegals do not fall into our immunization system. They are bringing disease into America, and spreading it.

For example, 25% of all federal prison slots are taken by illegal immigrants, predominantly Mexicans. They are 3-4% of all people in the US, and 25% of the federal prison slots. State pens are no different.

Surely you cannot believe that the work done by these illegals more than outweighs the threats they pose in terms of violent crimes and public health? Or, that by changing the system we can have our cake and eat it too.

On public health, countries with socialized medicine spend 8-9% of their GDP on health care. In the US we spend 15% of our GDP on health care. Guess who has the better system? Not all socialized medicine programs are the same, but they all spend 8-9% of GDP on health care, roughly 60% of what we spend as a fraction of GDP. The US health care system SUCKS!

On taxes, it is very true that TOTAL TAX LOAD goes down with increases in earnings. You have to calculate the whole equation. Property, sales, and income taxes. This is expressed fractionally, the highest tax brackets AVERAGE half as much tax, per dollar earned, as the lowest tax brackets.

This is not just your April taxes, but also your car registration fee, your 8.5% sales tax in SF, your 2-3% property tax on your home, etc, etc. Add it all up. Read about it at Citizens for Tax Justice.

yeah, all mexicans are diseased, violent criminals.

rare diseases?

What?

what are your feelings on african americans anon? they make up a disproportionate percentage of our prison population as well.

Rare diseases? You'd never want a case of the dreaded Sonoran chalupa-foot, and what about those outbreaks of enchiladacephalitis which sometimes sweep the Yucatan. A old mechanic of mine from Oaxaca once suffered from a case of cervesa.

"Free medical care for my entire family."

That's a good one. Nobody gets free medical care in this country. Nobody. Not immigrant, not citizen, not rich and not poor.

If you want free medical care go to France or Italy. OK, it's not free, meaning your taxes pay for it, and sometimes it's not perfect, but it's more free than the US every will be.

! LA verga ! "tengo hambre donde esta mi lonche"yo no soy su vieja ni mama trae tu lonche pendejo

Let's go surf!

If not, watch some Coltrane. Happy Easterrrr.

Umm, that didn't work. Go here to see Coltrane..

Read the medical literature, just a little, to see how illegal immigration brings rare and deadly disease to America.

Tuberculosis is on the rise due to illegal immigration.

Trypanosomiasis is on the rise.

Polio was extinct in the USA (Salk made the vaccine), it is back now, thanks to illegal immigration.

Leprosy was eradicated in the US in the last 30 years, it is now back.

Dengue fever has re-appeared.

These are real medical issues. And, we need to treat them as such. They are a very real cost to illegal immigration of people who come from areas with worse health care systems.

http://www.jpands.org/vol10no1/cosman.pdf

Don't get me wrong on the topic of illegal immigration. I am not suggesting a course of action for Congress. But, I am pointing out unmistakably negative impacts when you consider the higher than average crime/violent crime rates of immigrants, their incarceration, and the disease that comes to America with them. These are things we desperately want immigration to control. In fact, they are a major reason we have legal immigration in the first place.

Now, you can't throw 11 million immigrants back to Mexico. Its impossible and won't work. But we have to face the very real problem of crimes committed by illegal immigrants, and the extraordinary burden they pose to our medical system.

Honestly I think they should all be offered citizenship with caveats for passing citizenship tests, work for some minimum period of time, back-paying of tax burdens, passing medical examinations that THEY PAY FOR, and a zero tolerance policy on felony crimes committed during their guest worker period.

If you want to stop illegal immigration, there is one way that will shut it down instantly. You levy huge fines and jail time onto individuals and businesses that employ illegal aliens. Every time somebody is hired as an employee or contractor, the employer must get their SSN and verify it belongs to them. The jobs dry up, illegals quit coming. Many here already will go back. Wages will start to go back up to true market value. Less people will be exploited by big business. Finally we may see business calling for single payer healthcare for all citizens.

However the GOP, which controls all 3 branches of government, will never pass that law. Their buddies are making way to much money employing the cheap labor of exploited immigrants. Conservative and moderate Democrats are not going to ruch into that either.

I can appreciate everybody trying to make a living and have abetter life. We have lots of citizens who need work, however, and with the increasing drop out rates in school, we will have more.

unemployment is at nearly historical lows.

There is a big problem, 11 million illegal immigrants are here, and we have no way to kick them all out, and doing that may cause more problems than the immigrants cause.

Really, we need a way out of this mess that leads to those 11 million having a chance at citizenship, and a heretoforward strict policy against employing illegals. And, immigration policy needs to be altered so that the work being done by these illegals can be done by legal immigrants on some type of working visas that can lead to citizenship if they are needed long enough, work enough, and don't commit crimes.

"unemployment is at nearly historical lows."

Actually not true. They just keep changing the way they count unemployment, and so many people have quit looking that they are no longer counted. You are right, there does need to be a transition. This could not happen overnight. It needs to happen, however. Then if we start investing some of the military budget into building Mexico into an economic power, instead of making Cheney and his buddies rich, Mexicans may be able to live well in their country.
