And Now There's a "Shit San Franciscans Say" Video...

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of shit in there I've never heard anyone, you know, actually say.  And they probably could have added some stuff like “don't forget your hoodie!” and “sorry be there in 20” and “shit, is BART still running?” and “cold beer, cold water” and “when are local blogs going to stop posting these dumb videos?”  But yeah, this isn't that bad.

Wanted: Doughnut Shop in the Lower Haight

Hater Tuesday brings word of 911wasaninsidejob.org's campaign to bring a doughnut shop to the Lower Haight.  And what a worthwhile campaign it is: the 'hood has most of the major food groups people care about covered (pizza, ice cream, sausage, sandos, beer), but when it comes to fried pastries that you can dunk in your Irish coffee, you're shit outta luck.

9/11 Was An Inside Job's Google Map of area doughnut spots really nails the point home.

Of course, if this campaign will ultimately be successfully is anyone's guess, but I think we can all agree that it's refreshing to see our city's Ron Paul fanboys moving onto more important issues.

Wintertime in Dolores Park (In Slow Motion)

The video calls these people hipsters, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

Regardless, it's got slow-motion PBR drinking, slow-motion truffle selling, slow-motion dog hugging, and that bird that's been making the rounds.  What fun!

The Mission Holds it Down for the Niners

In case you slept through yesterday, the Niners beat the Saints in a 'nail biter' to squeak out their first playoff win in practically forever.  And, of course, the Mission lost its collective shit and it ruled:

This was the scene at Clooney's as soon as the Niner's scored their game winning touchdown. As you can see, the barflies (many of whom were kicked out for being too wasted/too awesome by this point) were more relieved than anything else.

Drumming on giant Tecate cans proved to be quite the crowd-pleaser.

While Mission Street descended into a car-honking, flag-flying, holding-babies-out-of-car-windows parade, some people took advantage of the empty stores and extended their T-Mobile contract.

And finally, before the game kicked off, this Niners fan (sporting a Love Shack cannabis club t-shirt, might I add) fed a dog in a duffle bag some McDonalds.

A Neighborhood Mourns

I haven't checked out the scene myself (as this photo was sent in), but it seems a small memorial is popping up at the site of the tree swing that was cut down in the prime of its life.

And for those of you who prefer to do their grieving on the internet, Doc Pop has some words and choice pics of the swing in better days.

(Thanks Steph!)

Guest Commentary: WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH JACK'S KARAOKE CHARGING A COVER CHARGE?

Guys and gals of The Mission, WHAT the FUCK is going on with karaoke in the hood?

It seems like it was just last year that you could be chilling with some lady you found on Craigslist, pop into Jack's for a few personal pitchers of brew and screech out some 80s love duet when the mood struck. It was fucking MAGICAL.

But now… now!… it seems that every Thursday night when I want to howl at Jack's grimy ceiling, they are CONVENIENTLY hosting some “fundraiser” to cure cancer or whatever. And there are people there too! Who are these people? Are they 94110 thru-and-thru, or are they scumbag yuppies who read bandwagon blogs and can afford to just GIVEAWAY four bucks to battered women?

It's borderline entrapment, I tell ya.

I don't buy this whole “donation” thing either. I've seen that Mission Mission asshole (who's NOT from SAN FRANCISCO) walk in all slow-motion like, giving the bouncer an assertive “I know you” slap while gliding past for free. Suspect!

Last night I had that uncontrollable urge to belt out some Talking Heads. So, yeah, I rolled the dice. But when the bouncer told me it was a four dollar donation to the homeless to get in, I spat in his face, threw an uneaten sandwich in the trash, and went to POPS and peed all over the floor.

I was NOT born in a city like San Francisco to pay a cover to drink Busch across the street from a place where frumpy old people go to die. There has GOT to be another way.

Police Sketch Artists Release Graphic Mug Shot of Muni's Most Wanted

In light of the continued controversy surrounding the egregious crimes that occurred on Muni this past New Year's Eve, SFPD has released this sketch of the suspect's bottom region.  Authorities state that she is believed to be intoxicated and dangerous, and should be threatened with rape and murder should you encounter her.

Police ask that if you recognize this urine stream, please call SFPD immediately.

How to Pee on Muni

It's easy, really.  For girls, just hang your ass out the window and dribble down the side of a “We Bought a Zoo” banner.  For guys, whip out your syphilitic dick as you are already accustomed to doing on the bus, somehow manage to seek out the corner that will maximize the quantity of people that have to smell it, and just pee there.

Paxton Gate's Curiosities for Kids' Bathroom is Bizarre Laboratory of Bowel Inquisition

While on the topic of booty, I found myself having to 'occupy a toilet seat' while strolling down Valencia earlier today, so I ducked into Paxton Gate's Curiosities for Kids', figuring they might have some dead lizards or something to look at while I regretted eating a burrito for breakfast.  Anyway, if you're still reading this, I took a look at their janitorial checklist before I sat down because children are gross and horrible and I wanted to make sure someone hosed down the seat with an ocean of bleach recently, only to discover their toilet can is for scientific research only.  Oh Paxton Gate, you're so goofy.

Anyway, if my stool cures cancer you're welcome.
