Cal Strong!
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Family Strong now out of Egypt. Cal Strong, Wife Strong, and Baby Strong visiting family in Southern California for 10 days until we move to Western Massachusetts, with a strong pit-stop in Michigan along the way to visit strong former colleagues.

Cal Strong want to know a few STRONG things:

- Whatever happened with that sexual harassment accusation against Cal football players and staff members? That story made Cal Strong very sad, right around same time as stress was picking up in Egypt. So Cal Strong took strong hiatus from BI to focus on family. Spent 5 strong weeks in Australia lifting weights and meditating. Cal Strong took Wife Strong to Sydney Opera House for her birthday. Saw "Thrones" (the Game of Thrones musical). Cal Strong assumed it would be weak D+ show. But Strong family was pleasantly surprised. It turned out to be a solid A- (B+ according to Berkeley rubric). Anyway, now that Cal Strong back in the mix and back in the USA he want to know whatever happened with all that.

- Any STRONG posters have any taco/Mexican recommendations in Pasadena?

- Why Wilcox no tell us what the happened to Bowers? Hard to be Cal fan when we don't have any information on things like that.

- Strong family's furniture delayed by 7 weeks. So we basically live on air mattress and eat off folding table for first bit in Massachusetts. Need to order many things. Any Strong posters have any experience with Ninja tabletop blender for making smoothies?

Glad to hear Strong family out of Egypt. Welcome back to US and good luck to Cal Strong, Mrs. Strong, Youngster Strong.

Disappointed in statement "Hard to be Cal fan when . . ." Weak statement, but will let it go for now.

It's called Apache as spoken by an Italian in a wig in a John Ford 1950's Western.

Cal Strong too strong at grammar to play games. Everyone know that. Cal Strong always format his ellipses correctly . . . like this. Even his terminal ellipses. . . .

Thanks to strong posters for well wishes. Cal Strong split SoCal time between Pasadena and Laguna Beach. Then he take strong family to set up new (1-year) home in Massachusetts.

Cal Strong do strong research into Mijares. Cal Strong conclude that $6.50 for a taco WEAK!!!

Cal Strong excited to check out La Estrella.

More strong taco advice strongly appreciated. Cal Strong no have good tacos in Egypt or Australia. Now a strong time to make up for lost time.

I was hoping that, with this passage of time, the juvenile affectation of speech might be over. Sadly, the blatant insult to Native Americans continues. Bye.

I really like the nutribullet for quick blending and you can use the container as a travel cup with lid and all. For bigger jobs, the vitamix is the standard

Ah, tacos. Paradise was for this Bear to get stranded for almost 3 hours in Tijuana Taco (three tacos and a large coke for one dollar) on Telegraph Ave, with the doors locked and towels shoved into the open cracks to keep out the tear gas from the People's Park Riots. Got back to work at the UC lab in Richmond at 3:30 PM, and got chewed out by the boss for going to all the way to Telegraph Avenue for lunch. We missed out on the girl-watching, but all the extra tacos and cokes made up for it.

Pasadena native here. Sadly living on the east coast now but I make it back to Pasadena 3-4 times a year. That said. I take my Mexican food very seriously. The best in Pasadena for me is a hole in the wall called Tacos Poncitlan on Allen Ave. i salivate just from from thinking about it.

With regards to your Cal sports-related questions:

- No news on that sexual harassment case, probably because the understaffed dept. at Cal that handles these things takes their own sweet time and probably doesn't prioritize specific cases just because they might be ones we're interested in. Also possible that the person making the charges was found to lack credibility and all parties have agreed to just let the whole thing wither and die, maybe with some settlement agreement (Athletics might agree to that solution if there were some grains of truth in her allegations, even if vastly overstated.).

- I doubt Wilcox will ever comment on Ross Bowers again, especially now that it is water under the bridge. If you didn't hear, he grad-transferred to NIU. I agree that JW could have been a little more proactive with the public info on this last fall, but that was not in his comfort level. Did you feel like, as the months progressed, you were able to put the puzzle pieces together, based on bits of info that were leaked here? I did, but I thought it would've been better to have been able to get the info in a somewhat more direct, honest manner. Sure, it was a "personnel matter" and we didn't have the right to know every single detail, but I believe it would have been okay to have given us the basics, tactfully.

The food truck on Fair oaks is good,
La estrella also has a store front and another taco stand in Highland Park, where the stand is better than the store front. I believe they are the same people as Fairoaks.

I personally don't like Mijares.

The best Taco imho is Guisado's. The original one is in Boyle Heights, with 3-4 opening in echo park and DTLA.

Finally I like Seor Fish for Fish Tacos

enjoy and Go Bears

Tend to agree with you on Mijares. Not bad but not special. CalStrong deserves strong Mexican and Mijares doesn't quite do it.

How can the picture of Sal Mineo offend unless the truth hurts? Native Americans back me 100% on that call. Italians? Well, their kids needed shoes too so I don't fault them for not turning down the roles.

I thought it was intended as "caveman" or an homage to the Incredible Hulk (movie version set in Berkeley with Bruce Banner a Cal professor?).

Cal Strong not Native American. Cal Strong no imitate any Native Americans. Cal Strong just being his own strong self without any reference to voices inside Rushinbear or anyone else's head. That Rushinbear and others apperceive Native American mockery voice big testament to their own weak racist assumptions that have nothing to do with Cal Strong.

Apperceiving racism when no racism persists WEAK! Time to take hard look in the mirror. Stop being weak. Be more like Cal, less like you.

Cal Strong looking for bigger blender than bullet. But since Strong family may only be in USA for 1 year, he no so sure he want to invest in Vitamix just yet.

Big C posting STRONG today. Both incidents make Cal Strong uncomfortable.

Cal Strong choose not to judge accusers nor alleged perpetrators until report and more evidence come in.

Cal Strong think Wilcox's approach to injuries/discipline issues WEAK. Definitely not strong for Cal football. Last year we all watch QB carousel of incompetence while we have a guy who does front-flip for TD over ranked team's starting defense sit on bench with no explanation. Not professional. Not strong.
