Missing cocktail

Have you visited Downtown’s Golden Gate recently? Renovations to the valet, casino and lobby turned out pretty spiffy. But if they don’t find a home for the iconic shrimp cocktail bar, I’ll have to boycott. —Brock Radke, web & food editor
Gold tune

Bieber Fever’s back after two weeks of Olympics Fever, but one record endures: American Idol winner Phillip Phillips’ “Home,” the tune of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. It’s the best Idol coronation song in years. —Don Chareunsy, contributing editor
Time is money

I’m driving west on Sunset and I see a car with a sign that reads, “CASH FOR TIME.” Question: Do they mean “work”? —Rick Lax, staff writer
Reality bites

Bad choice by the promoters of Twilight: Breaking Dawn—Part 2 in putting the word “Forever” on the posters. I’ll be amazed if the film’s co-stars are even in the same room together during the promotional tour. —Ken Miller, associate editor
Miller mayhem

Former UFC fighter Jason “Mayhem” Miller was arrested Monday for allegedly vandalizing a church. Police found him naked, chilling on a couch. I, for one, would really like to know what he said when they woke him up. —Erin Ryan, staff writer
