PORT HUENEME, Calif. — Authorities sealed off a Southern California port Monday afternoon after a possible terrorist threat was found scrawled in a cargo ship's hold, a port official said.

Authorities closed off the Port Of Hueneme in Ventura County after a dockworker discovered the message scrawled in marker on a metal pillar in the hold of a ship carrying bananas from Guatemala, said Will Berg, the port's marketing director.

Berg said message read: "This nitro is for you Mr. George W. Bush and your Jewish cronies."

The funny thing about it is that if you don't look at the word you can pronounce. If you look at the spelling it is all over. The correct way to pronounce Port Hueneme is Port Why-NEE'-me.

Now look at the word and tell me that is how it sounds! LOL

Port Youneme.

It's pronounced "Y-nee-mee". :)

Don't hold me to it but I think Harry's on his way with the banana, although you cheated a little. Now, get together with norton and find out what a hueneme is ;0).

Actually I just Googled it and:

"Hueneme (wene'mu) is a Chumash word meaning "half-way" or "resting place." Chumash nation Canalinos Indians likely stopped at Point Hueneme as they passed between today's Point Mugu and the mouth of the Santa Clara River. The 'Point' is the closest spot (11 miles) from which to cross the Santa Barbara channel transiting between the mainland and Anacapa Island."

Perhaps it's one of those words my brain refused to process because it can't be pronounced the way it is spelled.

I dunno. But somehow I never registered its existence and I know a lot of obscure stuff.

I would if I had a potfull of those big beauties steaming on the stove! But while they're known as Pismo clams, that's not what a pismo is. Hint: pismos are found on beaches for a great distance along the entire Santa Barbara channel and points north and south for quite a distance.

Oh this so bums me out.

On Feb 7th 2004 I was in Germany on business and had a nightmare of a N explosion going off in the direction of Thousand Oaks, I didn't realize this port was there.

Freakin' Islamonazis are going to cause a lot of destruction before we wipe them off the face of the earth.

"Ventura County has been a big well-kept secret until lately. Now the developers are going full-bore and I think the plan is to turn us into Orange County West (yes, O.C. is mainly east of V.C.)"
"well-kept secret"!!! I visited my brother-in-law that lives in the area (Mandalay Bay development), nothing is less than a $mil each :(

Last night, heard extremely loud thunder in the Culver City/West L.A. area. I mean, I have never heard thunder that LOUD. Thunder and lightning, but no rain.

I could even hear thunderclaps echoing their way down towards Orange County.

Woke me up out of a sound sleep, sent the cat racing for the closet.

A million bucks isn't a huge amount for houses near the beach in CA. They're getting that much for a new development near me that looks like row houses, and you nearly have to get up on the roofs to see the ocean about 12 miles distant. Mandalay Bay is a very nice area and those prices don't surprise me.

What I had in mind is pressure for large-scale development through the whole county. We have a new 4-year college, Cal State Channel Islands, that will bring lots of new people to the area. Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station is being eyed by development interests as a new commercial airport to take pressure off LAX. There's talk of all kinds of developments, from amusement parks to a Hollywood Bowl-sized stadium/entertainment center.

It won't be long until Thousand Oaks, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo and Moorpark merge into a single mass of streets and buildings. The semi-rural aspect of the area has begun to disappear more rapidly each passing year. I guess that kind of progress is considered good but I've enjoyed the peace, quiet and very low crime rate too. That's all changing.

There are too many of those but no, that's not it. Dog Gone would probably recognize them but not by that name.
