Frank Sommerville

KRON would hire him, I bet. Hard on his ego but they'll take anybody.

And I just want to add, as a long-time KTVU viewer for news, I have often wondered about his slurred speech during the 10 oclock broadcast. It hasn't happened a lot, but its happened.

He's so frickin talented he can do his job drunk. Booyeah.

Per Rich Lieberman, Frank had heard from his agent that day of his arrest that the agent could not convince any newsroom in the US to hire him.

This could be the reason he went on a bender and crashed his car.

This might be the impetus he needs to check into a long term rehab facility.

We watched that May 30th broadcast live and even said "Check out Frank, he's hammered!", then they went to commercial and he disappeared from the desk.

I do still have it in the dvr, though....

When I was in college I found a CA DL in a frickin’ phone booth* belonging to a 30-year old Mexican. That covered me from age 19-21!

His address was a little tough to memorize. It was something like 672819 and 1/2 Figueroa Boulevard.

*Glass closet in random places with a hardwired phone that required coins to operate.

I just dipped north to BC from 19-21. I could even use my own Washington DL in the bars up there :laughing

We enforce it with those perceived to be under the age of 21 though. The system would enhance that by checking all ID's though...which happens at many places now.

Yeah, I mean, nearly everywhere I go the bouncer checks 100% of ID at the door.

I have seen multiple grown ass adults no where near 21 not allowed in over the years because they forgot their ID at home or at the Office or something.


The mandatory free pass rule should of course continue to apply for hot womens.
 
After the police take you license away for DUI, what do you do when you want to go to a bar? You can't show them your license to prove that you are over 21. How will Frank get a drink?
 
I already get cheezed off when I'm at the store and the person in front of me wants a pack of Marlboro Lights and the cashier has to call a manager, wait, have the manager show, then walk the distance to what looks like a vault, pull a pack of marlboros, bring it back, only to find they gotta do it again because they brought the wrong pack of cigarettes, and all I'm trying to buy is a Pepsi....

And none of that deters the smoker.

:facepalm

I love these kinds of responses, especially in light of there being approximately 34,000,000 smokers in the US with about ten percent of them in California.

Makes me miss Kev714's versions where he'd act like a typical human response was totally off kilter and be like "Yeah humans are weird when they keep animals inside as pets" or some shit like that. :laughing :thumbup

I can totally relate to this. One time I asked my Mom for a Pepsi, just ONE Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.

I don't live in the U.S., I live in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Californistan.

LOL, the smell of cigarettes is one of this first things I notice when I go to visit America, the "oh yeah, I remember this!" Moment.

The 3.5 million CA is only about 10% of the state population, and if I have to wager, I would guess the majority of them do not live within civilization, i.e within the City Limits of San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Jose, or San Diego.

In San Francisco, smoking in public is limited almost exclusively to the homeless community. When I quit like 15 years ago, there was still handfuls of people smoking outside the bar on a Saturday night, but those days are just gone, man. Like, every once in a while you will see one guy, doing a sad solo puff outside the bar, but it is rare enough to be a weird event now.

Did you go to her schools? Her churches? Her institutional learning facilities?

Isn't it sad that our racist society disapproves and shuns time-honored native American traditions? There probably should be a ceremonial safe-space in every public building for people to peacefully honor our forefathers...

Let’s resurrect how native American women gave birth - stand up, hug a tree and push.
