It would have been, if your name would have showed up...

Woooosh - 2-5-2010 at 01:16 PM

Just a local gay-bashing. What else is new. They encourage gay-friendly businesses in Rosarito (Plan B), and then beat the crap out of them. Completely speculating here though...

I had no idea.

I wonder what 'B' stands for? :rolleyes:

Woooosh - 2-5-2010 at 01:43 PM

Are you sure that video isn't the current one being run by the anti-gay marriage people? It was too funny. Bu that type "sicko" incident in the YouTube happened in Rosarito Wednesday:

My nephew was walking from our house to the Boulevard and was followed for more than a mile by a red jeep with four males inside. He thought he was a target for abduction and he was scared. He got to a safe spot (the lavamatica) and then turned and asked if they had a problem with him. They said "no" and named a few neighbors of ours (that my nephew knows) they were looking for. Then they whistled at him, called him "papacito" and offered him money to go with them. He flipped them off and went on his way. The young man driving the Jeep was none other that Torre's son! Geesh. What a perv!

Bajahowodd - 2-5-2010 at 01:55 PM

That sort of stuff is not usually a team sport. Perhaps it was their foolish way of just trying to scare him.

wessongroup - 2-5-2010 at 02:19 PM

Woooosh... might be, but I think they know where you live.. big time.. stay safe

me either. You learn a lot through family when you live here- especially college aged ones. Once he found a spot to turn around and confront his followers- he wasn't afraid of them. After they named the neighbors they were looking for, my nephew figured out what was going on.

Maybe Plan "A" is straight in "Plan B" is "none of the above" ???

The past few years in TJ he had to literally fight his way home every day after school. His neighborhood (east TJ near Otay) is much safer now- no problems lately. The bad guys all got taken out one by one. Just one tweeker still gives him problems but I'm sure my nephew will take him out. He's tough. I'm sure glad I wasn't raised in his time or environment. Worst I ever had to deal with as a kid was a fistfight after school.

He can take care of himself on-on- one or even two-on-one. Any more than that and he's fast enough to join the Mexican national track team.

Wait....

You're telling us "Plan B" is a gay bar?

I know several locals who frequent the place.

They must either be clueless... or suffering from complete denial. :rolleyes:

Or gay? lol Plan B is just gay-friendly our friends who live across the street in SADM have told us. Have also heard the old "Lobster Shack" on the main drag called "Metropolis" is the same way. Torres is actively courting the gay dollar but I don't think being exclusively gay or straight is good business- every customer is important.

Gay friendly

Dave - 2-5-2010 at 03:15 PM

Because business sucks (no pun intended), everyone here is gay friendly.

Whether they like it, or not.

as it should be. A customer is a customer.

If you have a big Mexican family everyone has a few. There are a lot worse things to have in your family than someone gay, bi or whatever. We have a transsexual cousin who is genetically pre-disposed to baldness. Nothing like a balding man with huge chi-chi's (although my nephews who eat the hormone-injected chicken down here are getting almost as large chested). Funny how getting older makes us more tolerant.

"Funny how getting older makes us more tolerant."

Diminishing testosterone levels isn't always a bad thing. :biggrin:

It is a bummer , but I have not been to baja malibu because of the vibe from that area for a couple of years. I have to say no when my son wants to stop and surf there. what a bummer for both of us and the local economy.

nah- just a bar fight. Don''t give what a few drunks do in a bar too much weight- no matter what or where it is. Now the recent carjackings are a different story...

I've surfed Baja Malibu, some of the best surf I got in Baja Norte. I lived in OB between '72 and '84. I had a rico San Diego friend with parents that owned an oceanfront house there. What a blast, one day we pulled up and it was about 20 mph offshore. It would almost blow your doors off when you opened them. One guy out, he couldn't catch a wave. I said he's a kook. I suited up and went out . 5-7' perfect tubes either way, take off in the middle of the peak look right or left and go, get tubed either way awesome. Back then 1 guard at the gate, change isn't always good.

Mexicorn - 2-6-2010 at 08:50 AM

I honestly dont give a damm about a bar fight they are a natural thing whenever you mix A-Heads with alcohol.
Furthermore, I dont give a hoot about a gay bar- not my flavor but if it's yours more power to ya!

I've got better things to do with my time like watching the superbowl at Sharkey's which I dont thing is a gay bar but I never heard anyone ask about anyones sexual preference once they walked in the door.

Now lets talk about more important things I heard an american had been kidnapped in Rosarito beach this week. Does anyone have any information that confirm or dispell this rumor?
And whats this I read in the Reader this wek about some mysterious Danish people building an exotic copound on the Baja coast?
Should we ready ourselves for the the return of the hale bop comet?
Or should we ready ourselves for the second comming and take heed to Nancys direction and all drink the kool aid from the big galvanized wash tub in the center of SADM?
And why does Margie try to pass herself off as Jim Jones with those creepy wrap around sunglasses?
Oh the humanity!!!!!!
Nancy.....

Anyone......

yea I agree but I've heard alot of sketchy stuff going on in that area for the last couple of years.

'Plan B' is an odd name for a Gay bar, since it is the name of the "Morning After" pill. You would think it is the one place where it would not be needed!!

I've been told...

The reason they named it 'Plan B' is that the first bar didn't do well and had to close. Gotta love it. :lol:

Well...of course you are. Don't ever allow a lack of conviction to warp your self-assesment, Wiley. Wear your twisted diagnosis as a medal of honor and every opportunity you get to show 'em your nuts, well, show them. Just make sure there are no kids around. :lol:

Is the real reason that so many folks find themselves South of the border merely cheap meds? :?:

Is everyone taking their meds today? Seems very amiable for a change.

Hey Wesson- thanks for the shout-out... I think.

I'm just a Connecticut Yankee raised in a "Leave it to Beaver" family. I was taught to love and respect others, but to fight for your freedoms and defend your values. Once you make compromises with what you believe, it's gamer-over. These qualities served me well in business- making sure the other party gets something important to them in negotiations- it's never winner-take-all for me. Life shouldn't be fought every day, it should be finessed. I found that people will give their best deals to people they trust and respect and they will be happy to do business with you again. Every successful business knows the value of long-time repeat customers.

Mexico is culturally passive-aggressive, I'm certainly not. You can be firm to your convictions and dealings with un-like minded people without being a total dick about it. I can disagree with people and still wish them a good afternoon at the end and mean it. Sometimes I screw up (like the time I flipped off a TJ cop) but I apologize when I am wrong and my Mexican family finds that trait unusual and interesting.

That's why I enjoy the contrast in my Mexican family and they enjoy me (I think). Both families adore each other and visit each other. Food and smiles are the common language and it works for us. I must amuse them- they roll their eyes and pat me on the back at the same time. I take on fights on their behalf (like the land concession to preserve the beach) that they simply wouldn't have done. My Mexican family tends to live for the day and I tend to always be in the future. I think they are learning what real Americans are all about through me.

We think we know Mexicans because of the ones we deal with in Baja and they think they know Gringos because of the tourists they deal with. The cultural impressions of people we get in any border region are twisted.

... and that's another half hour of my billy-goat life gone that I can't get back. :lol:

Thanks amigo.

Tecate is a LOT cheaper than Molson Canadian or Budweiser

wessongroup - 2-6-2010 at 09:13 PM

What's a 12 pack of cans go for right now? Tecate and regular Budwiser? near that liquor store by the Plan B

I don't know about that store, but the best and most consistant prices are at the large super markets. Yesterday, a 12 PAK of Tecate at Calimax was 109 Pesos, tax included. An 18 PAK was 145.

Pass me a Schiltz.

Nostalgia?

Wasn't sure if you were just waxing nostalgic. However, Schlitz was the first beer to be put in brown bottles to protect against the harmful effects of light. That said, Schlitz tanked and Stroh bought the brand. Stroh tanked and Pabst ended up buying the rights to the brand. Just a few years ago, they started brewing Schlitz again, using the original recipe. It is not widely available at this time, but i do know you can get it in Florida, as well as several midwest states surrounding their Illinois brewery.
