Mission Mission

In homage to the internet’s most popular bunny rabbit, Pickles the cat demonstrates his hidden talent.

Mission Local spent some time with the anti-choice geezers forever posted up outside Planned Parenthood:

On a recent Friday afternoon, Ron Konopaski, 71, sets up a folding chair outside the clinic. It’s closed today, but that doesn’t matter. The retired dentist has been here every day since March 9. His duty is to ensure that at least two people are in front of the clinic at all times.

Konopaski and his fellow activists believe that abortion, even when due to rape, is an abomination to God’s plan. To them, the elements of a person begin at fertilization — a new life that no one other than God has the right to take.

“We’re trying to just give them the truth,” says Konopaski.

So, Scoutmob seems supercool. They are kind of akin to all these new group-buying sites like Groupon, but all their deals are free. FREE, dude! Futhermore, they seem to focus on stuff like tacos and books and cool restaurants (rather than spa treatments and cologne and jewelry), so it’s more our speed.

Today, Scoutmob is offering 50% off at Pancho Villa ($10 max discount) TOTALLY FREE. (Plus, Mission Mission gets some cash for helping promote this wicked discount, so by taking advantage of it, you’d be helping us pay the rent, which would be awesome.)

And to make things even more interesting, Scoutmob also wants to send two lucky readers (and their entourages) on a very special trip to Pancho Villa, in which you get to dine with the entire Mission Mission staff! And Scoutmob picks up our bill! We’re pretty cool to hang out with I think, so, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, am I right?

To enter (and get your 50% off thingy) just follow this link. (And if you’re already a Scoutmob member, just re-enter your email address for a chance to win.)

Clearly that is why the Obama administration is not totally killing it.

Have at it, somebody:

Relevant details can be found here, so you can credit whomever you need to credit. NOTE: Making a t-shirt out of this WILL put an end to the Republican Party once and for all, clearly.

In related news, Obama appeared in SF last night.

If, that is, you want access to behind-the-scenes gems like this:

It’s not epic poetry or anything, but it can be fun: Mission Mission on Tumblr

You haven’t been to Oddball Films yet? It’s this weird film archive in a warehouse space above Capp Street that hosts curated film screenings on a regular basis.

This Thursday evening, they’re showing a bunch of films about beer. Some are old, some are new. Some will be of interest to beer aficionados, some will be of interest to people who want to see a cat drink beer and use drugs.

A cat drink beer and use drugs. A cat drink beer and use drugs.

Plus, there will be a selection of microbrews on the scene, for drinking.

(For 2cute2puke, yesterday was the day.)

Yesterday, we heard about what we thought was the worst bus behavior we’d heard about in a while. And then, our old pal Heather trounced it in the comments section:

Yesterday on the 3 a lady was methodically picking out lice from her daughter’s hair with her fingernails and throwing them on the floor! I have seen a lot of horrible things on MUNI in the past ten years, but that was probably the most unsettling.

Next-level unsettling, for sure. Read more.
