Man, watching these guys play beer pong sure was weird. Felt a lot like spotting wildlife in the middle of a mall parking lot: on one hand, I enjoy a nice deer sighting; on the other, why the fuck is the deer eating cigarette butts marinated in gasoline?
It wasn't the beer pong in the park that was troubling, nor was it the improper use of a straw hat or the guy wearing his shirt as a turban. Like my concern for the deer trying to make a new life for itself in field of concrete, I'm worried about the cause of these unexpected migratory patterns. Did someone clear cut UCSB? Are developers bulldozing 'the forest' at Union and Buchanan to build a new Panera Bread? Is there anything we can do to stop this wanton habitat destruction before it's too late?
For the sake of these displaced creatures, I hope they can evolve to digest burritos and marijuana.

huh?
Sounds pretty NIMBY to me. Kind of hypocritical for someone who isn’t from here.
I know, right! I was all “omg bros, go back where you came from!” And “motherfuckers, I was here first, GO HOME” There wasn’t even an ounce of comedy or sarcasm in the whole rant!
self-awareness forgives all sins, am I right?
I’ll have to re-read the bible, because I don’t remember the part where not being from SF is a sin.
Oh, it’s in there. Go the fuck home KOOK!
I thought the purpose of razing TransBay Terminal was to discourage Jethros from coming here?
now you know how the heroin dealers felt when y’all came through.
The woman in the background sums up this article best: look of judgment and disgust. Last I checked, it was a decently sized park. Just keep moving and go about your day.
Translation of this pissy little rant: “This is a hipster park. Take your Bud Light to GGP. Dolores is for unemployed hipster dbags”.
What a NIMBY outlook. This is the kind of attitude that sucks about SF, all the self-righteous phonies who think that their brand of different is the most honorable. What a joke, being a transplant hipster is unique now? I just saw maybe 5 fixie-riding, skinny jean wearing types pass by my window and do I fret? Who cares if some bros go the park? And who are you to determine the cred of anyone, anyway?
¡Mamota! ¡Suave! ··············· you’ll wind up writhing on the floor, foaming at the mouth and speaking in tongues!
I am proud to call myself a NIMBY when the N that I want none of in my BY is marina douchebags.
Wait! I double-negatived! Curse my own drunkenness!
and how is this park your back yard?
Yeah, that’s also true. But generally NIMBY isn’t taken all that literally to be the actual, physical back yard of your home, so much as general area/neighborhood, I guess?
amen brother. this land is your land, this land is my land.
His right pant leg is rolled up a sign of a bike rider or commuter. Def not from the Marina bro!
Naw bro, rolling up the leg is a ‘thing’ now: http://www.hatertuesday.com/?p=1196
