Doo Duh Would Be More Appropriate for Overpriced Photo

Among the works of art listed on the Sothebys.com Web site is a 1982 photograph of the Briefcase Drill Team marching in the Doo Dah Parade. Price: $350 to $450. Anyone who has the nerve to ask that much money for such a snapshot deserves to be crowned King or Queen of the next Doo Dah Parade. . . . In case you’re unaware of the ballet-like grace of the Briefcase Drill Team, I’ve included a photo from the 1981 Doo Dah (see accompanying). Go ahead and clip it. It’s free.

ORANGE COUNTY INSULT OF THE DAY: Noting the lack of rivalry between the Oakland A’s and the Anaheim Angels, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Glenn Dickey wrote that “the inbred animosity Bay Area residents have for Los Angeles” doesn’t pertain to the Angels because they “play in Anaheim, far removed from L.A., and from the rest of the world, for that matter.”

Orange County in its own world? Oh, come on.

THEN AGAIN . . . : A colleague who flew into John Wayne Airport from San Francisco late Sunday night noticed that a 50ish male passenger had a one-woman welcoming committee in the deserted terminal.

She was leaning against the arrival/departure times kiosk, decked out in a red miniskirt, a tight blouse, silk stockings and high heel spikes. And she was holding a sign that said, “Desperately Seeking Horny Dentist,” complete with an illustration of a little devil.

The arriving passenger, shocked but enthusiastic, gave her a big hug and a long kiss as other passengers hooted, whistled and clapped.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Sheila Tomlin of Irvine came upon a flier for a fruit that must taste spicy considering the conditions under which it is grown (see accompanying).
