    Clue #4: Ted & Joe's Excellent Adventure
    Clue #5: Bob Seger song says it all
    Clue #6: A berth with no stork
    Clue #7: 1968 was a very good year
    Clue #8: Martin Sheen's wild ride
    Clue #9: First pitch is the best pitch
    Clue #10: A five star team
    Clue #11: Beavers help a lot
    Clue #12: Chester's Pride
    *BONUS CLUE*: Ronald's "buddy"

    Clue #14: Favorite color? Khaki of course!

    Clue #8 basically gives it away. I'll check back in the morning to see if you still haven't gotten it, and I'll give it to you then. That should give you time to figure it out yourself.

    Is #8 a reference to that Kirk Douglas movie "The Final Countdown" (which I can't think of anymore without thinking of Gob Bluth).

    I don't know **** about San Diego, but if we had something on Houston, I would nail it like Star Wars nerd at a convention that's actually at some place with hotties.

    It is definitely the Nimitz--she was launched in 1968.

    See clue #7 and google "USS Nimitz"

    discovered by the germans in 1904, they named it san diego - which, of course, in german means "whale's vagina."

    ... i'm sorry - i was trying to impress you. i don't know what it means. i'll be honest, i don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.

    Here's a new one. Looking for the same thing...something you can find on or near a San Diego beach.

    An arch points the way
    French fries
    Corner in Winslow, AZ (immediately thought of Eagles song)

    Ray Kroc (founder of McDonalds - arches?) used to own the Padres. McDonalds serves fries. Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne wrote Take it Easy.

    Could be the La Jolla caves. There are 7 (7 women on my mind) and one of them is named Arch Cave.
