Sparky cruising the sand bar at San Onofre this morning.

Here is one that got away and still swims at San Onofre.

BREAKING NEWS!!


Here is a photo of the "dirty little secret" that the State parks don't want you to know. This undercover shot was taken at the maintenance yard on the access road. What you see are some of the thousands of man-eaters the state has been secretly fishing out of Old mans every night. They fear that if the public ever caught wind of this, all hell would break loose and revenues would drop. More to follow.....

I had my brand new disposable water proof camera to take some surf shots when this swam under my board. It was as long as my 10-6!!

Ever wonder where the Red Tide comes from?

From The Mayors Office

Its good to hear from Unt Puttzle. The surf sucked today with it being 2to3 this morning with the South wind blowing right off the bat. I was set to try my foot today but the wind bummed me out. Friday I hope I can get my foot wet, its only been 3 months since I've been wet. I wish Puttz was here to go in with me. There was a dead Sealion on the beach this morning, looks like Sparky and fluffy are back. More later--------maybe

STINGRAY INJURIES AT SAN ONOFRE



Mon Jul 4, 1:06 PM ET
Lifeguards along the North County coast are warning beachgoers Monday to be on the lookout for stingrays after 347 people got whipped by the barb-tailed creatures at San Onofre Surf beach. Ranger Hal Dairywimple said a weak swell and small waves made it easy for the rays to get into the surfline, and the number of people stung Sunday was many times the number of encounters on a normal summer day. He said the bottom was carpeted with the things. "It's almost impossible not to step on at least one"! "They love the red tide" said Dr Ralph of the Dana Point Stingray institute. Lifeguards recommend pouring cool water and urine over the wound to ease the pain and seeking medical help if the barb becomes lodged in the flesh.

TWO HEADED SNAKE FOUND AT SAN ONOFRE



Scientists say both heads are working well This two-headed snake is being studied by scientists at the San Onofre Nuclear Power plant. The biological curiosity has four eyes and two tongues. It also has two sets of fangs and is very poisonous. Zoologists from the State Parks say the rare reptile can eat using both heads at the same time. They hope to discover if it has two separate digestive tracts and whether one head is dominant over the other. The baby snake was found by a painter named Moe at the nuclear plant It is believed to be a few months old and is lucky to have survived in the wild. Eating is a slow process and the two heads have been known to fight each other for food. Other double-headed snakes have been found at Trestles, Trails, and Surf beach.

Local Surfers Accidentally Break World Record

Fiftyseven Surfers Ride 'Party Wave' At Point!

SAN ONOFRE, Calif. -- Surfers at San Onofre state Beach unofficially broke the world record for a "party wave" by riding the same wave simultaneously, according to Murphy the Mayor.. After numerous hops, 57 surfers managed to get up on a single wave for at least five seconds Wednesday, said Murphy. The record now listed by Guinness World Records was set in Australia in December 2002, with 38 surfers. "It was out of control out there, but we accidentally beat the old record by 19," Murphy said. About 500 surfers paddled out, which is about 100 more then normal for the point.. Three professional surfing judges who happen to be stuck in the middle of it will provide documentation to Guinness to validate the record, according to Murphy, who said he intends to start surfing at Dogpatch..

OWNER ATTACKED BY DOG AT SAN ONOFRE



SAN ONOFRE, Calif. - In yet another dog attack at the beach, the owner of "Cuddles" was treated Sunday for wounds on her hands and arms Sunday after she was bitten by her 8-month-old pet at Surf Beach. The unidentified 36-year-old woman told park rangers that the dog bit her repeatedly after it was allowed to run free and defficate all over the beach. "She was attacked for no apparent reason," said animal control officer Ralph. The woman's husband was also bitten when he tried to stop the dog, but his injuries were less serious, rangers said. The dog, named "Cuddles", was picked up by the state's Animal Care and Services Department, said Hal Dairywimple. The woman told rangers she no longer wanted the dog. The attack is the latest in a flurry of beach dog attacks.
Murphy has a cousin in Paris named Montague who almost got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre. After planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he was captured only two blocks away when his SUV ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:

"Monsieur, I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."

WARNING!


This shot taken from the bluff above Old Mans clearly shows a Great White shark swimming within feet of some tourists at the low tide lagoon. Beachgoers are urged to stay out of the water until October when the summer Great White breeding season is over. Scientists say that breeding sharks have a much more voracious appetite then non-breeding sharks and are likely to attack anything and everything!

From The Mayors Office

As some of you already know we lost a good friend at Old Mans on Monday morning. Ralph Mitre Died from a heart attack while surfing. There will be a paddle out for him on Wednesday 6-29-05 I'll get back to you with the time, but it will be at SanO. Dingo also will try and post the news. Ralph, you will be missed. For those not sure who he was, he came in early and drove a Jeep (I think it was a CJ5) it was off white with Reddish Brown trim. As for me, my foot is better but not quite ready to surf on. I still have to get the strength back before I try, as I do not want to jump the gun and tear the tendon again. More later------maybe

New urinals at SanO will try and keep restrooms dryer.

The cliffs at trail 6 collapsed again today leaving this one piece standing.

THE HYPNOTIST

The San Onofre Surfing Club was looking for a way to increase attendance and participation at their regular beach meetings. One member suggested bringing in a hypnotist. The board of directors agreed, a famous hypnotist was hired, publicity distributed, and everyone was pleased. A few weeks later the beach meeting was packed, and the club members sat fascinated as the hypnotist withdrew a pocket watch. The hypnotist began chanting: "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch....."The members became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, lightgleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly the hypnotist's fingers slipped andthe watch fell on a rock and broke.."SHIT," said the hypnotist.

It took three weeks to clean up the beach..

A new zero tolerance policy for any and all infractions will be strictly enforced by Team Dairywimple. Trained by the LAPD Rampart division, these no-nonsense rangers will be on bike and foot patrol from 6am to 10pm daily.

MURPHY USES NEW DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER

One day at San Onofre , Murphy says to Puttzle , "My elbow hurts terribly. I guess I better see a doctor.""Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Puttzle replies. "There's a diagnostic computer at the Talega drugstore. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars... a heck of a lot cheaper than a doctor."So Murphy collects a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to the drugstore.He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample.He pours the sample into a funnel and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:You have golfer's elbow . Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks.That evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Murphy began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, scraped some oil off the driveway and masturbated into the mixture for good measure. Murphy hurries back to the drugstore, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the following:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener.
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo.
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant...twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. Your Lexus needs rings.
6. And If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.

THIS MORNING IN BATHROOM #2

Murphy went to San Onofre toilet building #2 and was barely sitting down when he heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"Murphy's not the type to start a conversation in the men's restrooms at a the beach but, he answered, somewhat embarrassedly: "Doin Just Fine!"And the other guy says: "So what are you up too?"What kind of question is that? At that point, Murphy is thinking this is too bizarre so he says: "Uhhh I'm like you, just going surfing!"At this point he was just trying to get out as fast as he can when he hears another question. Can I come over to your place after while?Ok, this question is just wacky but he figured he could just be polite and end the conversation. Murphy tells him, "Well, I have company over so today is a bad day for me!"Then he hears the guy say nervously..."LISTEN!!! I'll have to call you back, there's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions.
