Celeb Sighting: Actor Gary Busey lunching at Barnacles Bar & Grill, Hermosa Ave, HB. FIRE: Paisano's was burning this week, but fear not, it wasn't the pizza ovens. It was a hot neon light.

NFL: MNF Options: Mama's Pizza on PCH, HB, an unusual venue I agree, but the deal is, 10 bucks, all the pizza you can eat and all the draught beer you can drink. There is just one TV but if you are on a budget, it's a good choice. Another unusual venue, but practical when you think about it, is the bar at Spectrum Club Manhattan Beach. Do the workout thing and then park it at the bar for $2 pints of Miller Lite and a $5 buffet dinner. If they start renting out rooms, you'd never have to leave! Barnacles, Hermosa Ave, HB, is also now open for MNF to help catch the run-off from Cal Beach Sushi. Flashlight vs. The Star: Keyshawn must have been seeing flashlights in his sleep after Crebet scored the winning TD on Sunday - imagine that, an undrafted free agent from Hofstra University, Long Island, NY showing up a first round draft pick from USC.
