Flight to San Diego faster than Muni ride from Lower Haight to Downtown

SFist‘s Comment of the Day today is a peach:

The other week my husband left on a flight to San Diego at the same time I boarded Muni at Duboce Park to go downtown to work. He arrived in San Diego before I arrived at Montgomery Station.

Read on for further Muni woes.

The squid one was perplexing enough, BART. What are you trying to tell us now?

‘For rent’ sign down, paper up at Discolandia

Reader Rob T. noticed the change this morning (and took this picture and wrote the above headline).

Does this mean something’s up? Grand plans in the works? An exciting new era about to dawn?

Space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station just passed directly over the Mission

See ‘em? I hope you saw ‘em, because, as you probably know, that was your last chance to see an American space shuttle do anything :(

Beads, boas and beer RIGHT NOW!

If you want to celebrate the boozy holiday known as Fat Tuesday, and still don’t know where you can go to get your fill of revelry tonight, here are some options for you to possibly check out:

  • The Front Porch – Doing a straight up Louisiana style shrimp boil, Abita Beer on tap, live jazz for everyone.
  • Andalu – Fat Taco Tuesday.  $1 tacos, masks and beads.
  • Elbo Room – Fat Tuesday Carnival party with some killer beats and dancing
  • 3300 Club – They’ll be serving Mission-style Hurricanes.  Yum.

If you’re just looking for some beads and a cold one, I’m sure you can walk into any bar and find at least one person down to share the bon temps with you. Enjoy your hangover tomorrow!

[Thanks Corntard and Internet!]

Arizona Senator John McCain totally nosed by notable Oakland deadbeat Ryan Christopher Parks

Ryan is a barrel of laughs. Poignant laughs!

You might want to check out his band too, and his awesome Kickstarter pitch.

(Thanks, Pen Pop!)

Bike ambulance

Perhaps you’ve seen them in action on one of San Francisco’s many group rides.  The ultimate in bike safety.  On the downside, he said it takes 5 minutes to turn them all on.

Naked girls skating at the skate park (NSFW)

It’s a pretty simple concept, yet for some reason this remains one of the most bizarre promotional videos I’ve ever seen. I think our Tumblr buddy More Than Most says it best:

What the fuck?

Exactamundo. Watch it if you dare:

UPDATE: Apparently the video no longer exists. It was a promo for some kind of new Playboy show. I’m not going to try to find it.

Reader Marco suggests this alternative, and our Tumblr offers another great screenshot.

UPDATE: Jacobe found the real thing! Here it is.

Dearest Becca…

I came across this love note at 19th and Valencia earlier this week, and thought to myself, “Concise, gets the message out there — could do better.” Is this really the way gentlemen are courting ladies these days?

I have some advice for our graffiti Cyrano de Bergerac: chicks love the sonnets. Here — I even started one for you to help you in your quest for Becca’s love… and other things:

My dearest Becca, without whom this wall would be blank and nothingness.  My love is as deep and permanent as this sharpie pen in which I use to shout to all, “I love thee my darling, and I’m really good at sex, so, you know, call me”

Your move, Romeo (unless anyone else can do better).

12-pack dilemma

I’ve got a 12-pack of Pabst and no bag and no rack. What do I do?
