Getting The Summer Stoke, California-style

So while Slim was taking his kids to the pig auction at the Califormia Mid-State Fair — he had to kill time before seeing his idol, Justin Bieber — the rest of us were getting The Stoke on a couple of fun days here in Morro Bay. Earlier in the week, it was pretty small [...]

Is Good Defense Enough for The Hall of Fame in Baseball?

So I’m watching the White Sox game on the tube the other day, and Sox announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson says that former Giant (not to mention former Indian, Mariner and Ranger) Omar Vizquel is not only a future Hall of Famer but a first ballot HOF’er. And that got me thinking. First of all, it got me thinking how [...]

LeBron Lied To Me

Ok, I was wrong. I admit it. I said LeBron had comitted to the Bulls, and in fact he went with Miami. That’s the last time I trust my sources. Of course, I sort of figured LJ would go to the Heat given that neither Wade nor Bosh had salary figures with Miami, suggesting their true pay [...]

Breaking News: LeBron to the Bulls! (And Dewey Defeats Truman!)

Ok, everyone I’m giong to make the announcement before anyone else: LeBron has picked Chicago! Congrats, Bulls fans. And good luck with your many future titles! Of course, we haven’t yet confirmed this. But we wanted to be the first — just like all the other journalists and faux journalists (a.k.a., “bloggers”) out there. And [...]

Get LeBron James, Become An All-Star Team

Wow. Has there ever been a free agent spectacle that has rivaled this whole LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Boozer, That’s Amar’e thing? Seriously, it’s been more interesting than the last decade of Knicks teams combined. And it’s gonna be capped off by an hour-long ESPN special on LeBron announcing his final decision tomorrow. Man, I hope [...]

Black Socks for White Sox

Have you ever wondered why the Chicago Black Sox wore white socks and the White Sox wear black socks? Okay, that’s only partly true. The disgraced Black Sox of 1919 (That’s them to the right — they’re all dead now) were actually called the White Sox. But, according to one story, the Sox owner, Charles Comiskey, [...]

Bias Founder BSlim Goes For the Stoke

Well, Slim finally got a break from is kids’ 4-H festivities (They have a heffer named Moo-Moo, who’s a sure bet to take the blue ribbon this year). So he was able to join Moke and I for a little Stoke, Morro-style. I had promised good photos and only sort of came through with that. [...]

Surfing Photos — Pismo Beach, California

While BSlim was taking his son to the Boy Scouts, I teamed up with Boss and BroJoe for a little of the stokey stoke. Even though the conditions sucked, I decided to take out the GoPro, which wound up being a good call because I got some good pics. Being the unselfish person I am, [...]

49ers to San Francisco: Nice Knowin’ Ya!

Hold on — wait a sec. Did someone say there was an election? Cause, like, it’s so windy here, I assumed it was still March. And suddenly, I start seeing people with those “I Voted” stickers on their chests. Braggers. Here in California, there were no real surprises. A couple of women with heavy pockets [...]

48-Degree Water? No Biggie Smalls. Let’s surf!

  While BSlim was taking his family to church on Sunday, those of us with the TS (True Stoke) were out catching some waves. Despite the crazy winds that have prevailed here, the TS crew managed to find some rideable liquid in Shell Beach, CA, where we glided on water like Clyde the Glide.  Of course, the [...]
