Rambling Rumblings

Higher Learning? Can’t be that much higher!

Frustration reigned supreme as yours truly did a little pregame research to go see #22 UCLA play #24 University of Arizona in baseball on Friday. During my research for game tickets, parking, etc… I was stumped when I could not find the address to the “beautifully renovated Jackie Robinson Stadium” anywhere on the website. NOWHERE on the website was the address to be found. They bore you with countless pieces of useless information and leave out a truly important piece of information, the stadium address.

Granted they did have a map and directions coming from two different locations around Los Angeles which is great, if you’re coming from one of those two directions. Here’s hoping that UCLA’s medical program is a little bit better than their IT program.

You can add another thing to the list of potential things to catch at the Playboy mansion.

In February the Playboy Mansion hosted a party for 439 unsuspecting people. Shortly after the party, 123 people became ill with a fever and other symptoms. The diagnosis for their illness was Legionnaire’s disease which also leads to Pontiac fever. This is old news. The new news released this week is they traced the virus back to the hot tub.

I know what you’re thinking, of all the things to “catch” at the Playboy mansion Legionnaire’s disease would not be on your top 20. Not to pass up on Pontiac fever, again, of all the fevers to “catch” at the Playboy mansion Pontiac fever would not be on your list either; isn’t Pontiac fever a STD that originated from Studio 54 during the ‘70’s?

Just to clarify, I hope I did not ruin a childhood dream for any of my readers with this story. The Playmate dream with caviar wishes in the infamous hot tub are now gone forever, and for that I am sorry. One would think that Hef and company would clean the hot tub out every now and again; dare I ask when they cleaned it last… and who was the last one in there? Furthermore, my understanding of Legionnaire’s disease is it is a viral disease, meaning one did not have to enter the hot tub to contract this disease. That’s some nasty…

For those of you on the short list to the next Playboy mansion party, be ready to tell your honey waiting at home for you why you got Pinto fever and Sailor’s sorrow at the Playboy mansion when you get home.
