Jack in the Box Head On Top of La Jolla High’s Flagpole

August 30, 2010 by Albert 8 Comments

Senior pranks tend to be an unofficial tradition at most high schools, similar to the unofficial senior skip day. It is crucial to find the perfect prank; one must realized the fine line between harmless and mischievous and vandalism or criminal. Some of the typical ones are TPing the school grounds or passing a beach ball (no not Steve Roel) during graduation ceremonies. Or … [Read more...] about Jack in the Box Head On Top of La Jolla High’s Flagpole

Cop Rolls Car Busting La Jolla, WindanSea Convention

March 22, 2010 by Albert 5 Comments

Here is how the story goes. Huge Mac Meda Convention at WindanSea. Cops like always were waiting out of sight, usually lined up like a fright train somewhere in Bird Rock or at the top of Nautilus St; glued to their radios, tapping fingers on the dashboard, just waiting to  bust underage drinkers. And the wishful wish of finally put the end to the La Jolla outlaw drinking … [Read more...] about Cop Rolls Car Busting La Jolla, WindanSea Convention

Drinking, Destruction, Sex – Police – La Jolla Mac Meda

February 28, 2010 by Albert 11 Comments

The Mac Meda Destruction Co. sounds like a joke, started as a joke, thrived as a joke and ended up like a joke. Or is it? Some of the teen-age, members of this loosely organized group boast the motto, "Drinking Destruction and Sex" Here's the joke punch line, written Jan 10 (1965): On that day, beer flowed freely among the young Mac Meda crowd - nearly 200 of them … [Read more...] about Drinking, Destruction, Sex – Police – La Jolla Mac Meda

Plane Crashes at WindanSea, La Jolla Killing Actor Phillip G. Bent and Folksinger Peter Sachse

November 20, 2009 by Albert 23 Comments

I never will forget it, it was one of those cloudless, perfect La Jolla  July summer days and all I could think about was doing a little bit of body whomping at WindanSea with a friend of mind. As we were walking to the pumphouse from Big Rock,  a plane flew by a bit low, not uncommon for those days. Then it banked, rounded again and did some stunts, catching the attention of … [Read more...] about Plane Crashes at WindanSea, La Jolla Killing Actor Phillip G. Bent and Folksinger Peter Sachse

Body Whomping – WindanSea, Sea Lane, Marine St

October 14, 2009 by Albert 39 Comments

WindanSea’s claim to fame was its surf.  Sea Lane and Marine Street's claim to fame is its wicked shore break otherwise known as 'whomp,' or what locals dubbed when you body surfed it, Bodywhomping. The term originated in the early 1960s at the three beaches due to the sound heard when the wave closed out over you like cupping your hands and a single loud “ whomp” of  air … [Read more...] about Body Whomping – WindanSea, Sea Lane, Marine St

La Jolla – Car Goes Over Torrey Pines Cliff – Blacks Beach

October 9, 2009 by Albert 15 Comments

Blacks Beach's for surfing and nakedness, and 3) for pushing cars off. Okay, the first two are still what the cliffs are known for, however the third, it is been outlawed for obviously reasons. Back in the late  1930s Torrey Pines was a quick way to get rid of that junker, you know those white elephant Model Ts (now worth their weight in gold)  that  were a dime a dozen … [Read more...] about La Jolla – Car Goes Over Torrey Pines Cliff – Blacks Beach

Mac Meda Goes to Mars The Second Time

October 6, 2009 by Albert Leave a Comment

Back in 2000 Jack thought it was be pretty cool to let Mars know of Mac Meda. So, not knowing all the details of how he or others did it, Mac Meda joined the mission of exploration and discovery. A compact disc bearing Mac Meda Destruction Co was included on the next Mars Exploration Rover-2003 that would search for geologic evidence for water.  Because once you find water ... … [Read more...] about Mac Meda Goes to Mars The Second Time

La Jolla Police Catch Skeleton Thief and Eber Loses Drinking Buddy

September 29, 2009 by Albert 4 Comments

They say drinking alone is a sign of alcoholism, so if you are a Meda drinker, what do you do when you want to go on a roll and no one is around? Interesting predicament, for someone who can not find anyone to drink with. It's not like he can pick up a cell or text someone. Remember we are talking late 1960s. Hummm ... what to do? Bingo! Eber had a good thought, why not … [Read more...] about La Jolla Police Catch Skeleton Thief and Eber Loses Drinking Buddy

LA JOLLA BEACHES BEING ABUSED BY COMMERCIAL VENDORS
Some bad things are happening to our La Jolla beaches and that is, vendors are blocking off areas for private parties and making large profits off public beaches. Now as the law reads, these vendors can get a permit to have a private party and that permit is ONLY for 50 people, BUT, they CAN NOT ASK or MAKE you leave (even if they show you your permit)  if you are sitting in a spot they want to have their party at ...
