• And the Ducks Winner Is...

  Gracias to the many people who submitted entries to our "Win Gustavo's Anaheim Ducks Season Tickets" contest. All of them were great 25-words-or-less arguments on why a hockey team should be named after ducks; some examples included bawdy limericks, testaments to a duck's loyalty, even a case where a duck was apparently kept in a refrigerator for two days and lived. The winner, however, didn't even talk about Ducks at all. Thomas Dickan's response is beautiful in its simplicity and...eh, read i

• Thursday's Headlines

  Sweet feat: The Ducks won their first Stanley Cup, beating the Ottawa Senators 6-2 Wednesday night in Anaheim. A sacrificial supremacist pal? Billy Joe Johnson - a guy already serving a life term in prison - stood at a packed courtroom Wednesday and claimed he'd killed the guy his friends, white supremacist gang members Michael Allen Lamb and Jacob Anthony Rump, were charged with shooting. Mauled in Tustin: Two pit bulls attacked a 75-year-old Tustin woman and killed her pet poodle early Wedne

• Quack! Quack! Quack!

  With the game clock standing at two minutes left in Game 5, the huge crowd jammed into in JT Schmid's across the street from the Honda Center could hardly wait for the Ducks' Stanley Cup win to become official. The din of the Ducked-up revelers swelled and swelled as the clock reached 10 seconds, when everyone, in unison, began the countdown to the very first California Stanley Cup victory, one that, I'm sure, has many a Canadian grinding his teeth. Palm trees and hockey, after all, do not mi

• Snap Judgment: The Cup

  Yesterday, the much masturbated-about Stanley Cup sat at Anaheim City Hall for a good three hours. OC resident and photographer Christopher Victorio stopped by for a snapshot, but says security was pretty anal: "After countless millions of dollars given by local professional sports teams, the City of Anaheim gives Ducks fans 10 seconds with the Stanley Cup before asked to move aside. Seriously, that's how I felt. It was a turnstile. I didn't even have time to get my flash out," he writes. Vict

  The Gothla Festival hit Fullerton from Friday to Sunday, and we were there in full force. Christopher Victorio took some beautiful pictures of the ladies gyrating in all sorts of intricate outfits at Saturday night's Gothic Gala. (Check those out here.)

• What's The Deal With OC Billionaires?

  We've got the George Argyros-owned apartment empire "systematically ripping off" its largely poor or lower middle class tenants by fabricating excuses for not refunding deposits to literally thousands of people. We've got Donald L. Bren--owner of the Irvine Co. using strong arm tactics on small local businesses and, in a messy child support case in Los Angeles, declaring himself exempt from law because he's so rich. And, perhaps most colorful of all, we've got Henry T. Nicholas III--a founde

• Collateral Damage of the Samueli Plea Deal

  As soon as news of Henry Samueli's guilty plea in his stock-option manipulation case broke yesterday, you might have noticed a brief, faint clickety-clacking sound rising over Orange County. The more engineers you work with, the more intense the flurry was. It was the sound of two words being deleted from the line that read "The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, University of California, Irvine" on math-whiz resumes countywide. Weekly food critic Edwin Goei has been getting easy laughs wi

  The Anaheim Ducks need Power Players. No, not skaters, passers and kitchen-appliance-sized goons to ensure success on power plays. (Actually, come to think of it, they could use more of those, too.) The Power Players in this instance are the cheerleaders who make every home game loud and exciting as much as the millionaires on the ice do.Details from the NHL franchise are on the next page . . .
