Longtime Long Beach PT columnist uses column to troll for chicks?

It's kind of creepy when he's 35 years older than these girls. I've seen him in action at a couple of local establishments.

 

this is a joke, right?

 

He looks like a guy who would drive an Alfa-Romeo with a scarf around his neck.

Okay, I can't believe I did this but I googled the chick's name and her myspace account came up:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=4641715

Her greeting is:
"Hi, I'm here for the gang bang?"

WTG, Doug!!

 

You're right, Ash, I think this guy probably has running tabs at a Soi Cowboy bar or two.

 

He also says other things - I guess that's a way of keeping the column local and unique. The one time I met him, Doug K seemed like a decent enough guy. Not my favorite way of doing things, and if you mention people you meet there should be a point to it. Don't like it when Krikorian does it and I don't like when Simers salivates over Salma Hayek in print.

 

yeah....he looks pretty suspect in that pic.


Ok...I clicked on that myspace page....I've been to maybe 15 different peoples pages, just randomly......and everyone of those has "Tom" (top left pic) listed as a friend. Dougie should hook up with Tom to meet chicks.........or young Thai children, whatever he's into.

 

Is that Spike from "Gremlins?"

 

It is wrong that I couldn't get past the lede?

 

edit -- i just read the whole piece. good lord.

pet peeve of mine is this sort of stuff:

"But who in tarnation is Andre Ethier? Now I know who Andre 3000, aka Andre Benjamin, is - the charismatic front man of Outkast.

But I wasn't aware who this Dodger Andre was before Colletti plucked him away from the Oakland A's and before he became a serious Rookie of the Year candidate with his .338, 11 HR, 48-RBI numbers."

nothing comes across worse than a journalist bragging about how he has no idea who somebody is

i guess it's a device to show that you're writing about somebody who's supposedly obscure, but all it does is make the writer look ignorant.

this is one of the worst things I've ever read in my life. and the asides about the girls are so inappropriate and creepy. really, this clown shouldn't be in print

she is pretty hot

but why does every girl on MySpace listen to Jason Mraz? that dude SUCKS

 

"Tom" is the moderator, the guy who puts out notices about tech issues. Everyone who joins gets him as a default friend.
