  • Vanishing priest mystery solved, sadly: Last month, we noted that an OC priest and his companion disappeared in Portland. Today, the Times reports that their bodies were found.
  • Simpsons movie mania: Is this over-the-top, or insanely cool? 7-Eleven's turned 11 stores into Kwik-E-Marts (the fictional Simpsons convenience store), going so far as to rename their Slurpees "Squishees." There's supposedly one in Los Angeles, but that's as close to home as it gets.
  • Milking it for all it's worth: The Register has been parading its iPhone-crazy reporter since Thursday. As of this morning, they're still at it.
  • Ouch: A 35-year-old biker from Garden Grove allegedly going faster than 80 mph on Fairview Road managed to launch himself through one window of a van and out another. He survived but is in critical condition, according to the Costa Mesa cops.

    Do you ever do your own work, or just comment on what appears in other publications?

    Been there, was stolen from many times.

    On the other hand, your new restaurant writer is almost as good as Jonathon Gold, and that is as good as it gets in that end of the business.

    Gustavo continues to be the gold standard.

    Overall, the paper is well down since most of the stars packed their bags and left for romantic Long Beach. Maybe they have a dorm at the Queen Mary.

    Dick Miller (16 years in the daily newspaper business plus another 15 in corporate p.r.) And almost comatose in Hemet, where seniors from Laguna Woods go to visit their grand parents.

    "Stolen from," he says! Oh dear. How the Internet must perplex you, sir.
