Mission Mission

And tonight at Mission Workshop you can see some, and maybe buy some, thereby helping some less fortunate folks:

The party starts in an hour and goes til 10. Further details here.

Ice Tubes explains:

Fake Gucci watches and handbags are so 1980′s Ghostbusters-era New York City. Today, the hot sellers are ripoff North Face jackets [...]

Nice! “Faith” seems like an odd choice though: makes you think of religion, and sounds like a lisp. Why not just come right out and say it: “The North Fake”?

I checked through some municipal codes, and I’m happy to report that this move is legit. DPT is bound by law to honor it, I swear. Go to town.

In Missed Connections last night, a post called mission girls appeared. It is a five-point examination of everything that’s wrong with Mission girls. Here’s part of it:

can only achieve sexual pleasure through degradation. look, i’m happy if you want me to call you a slut, pull your hair and slap you in the face while fucking you SOMETIMES. i’d like a self-respecting, less violent fuck periodically. (this is why you have more one night stands than relationships and why you only end up in relationships with assholes, in case you were wondering.)

A few hours later, a post called mission boys popped up. Written by the same person? Written as a response? You be the judge:

can only achieve sexual pleasure through degrading other people. look, i’m happy if you want to call me a slut, pull my hair and slap me in the face while fucking SOMETIMES. i’d like a self-respecting, less violent fuck periodically. (this is why you have more one night stands than relationships and why you only end up in relationships with bitches, in case you were wondering.)

Aww. Is it all true? The sex stuff? The style stuff? The taste stuff?

We’ll have the full posts after the jump in case they disappear…

Honey In Yr Brain, in a post titled Why I Love Haight Street, shares a gem of an overheard conversation:

Fifteen-year old boy [...] to friend: Dude did you take the whippits out of his back pack?

Friend: No.

15 year old: Dude I fuckin’—…ugh I told you to grab them!…Now he’s going to do all of them with out us!

Bummer!

Neighborhood Whippits Users Now More Environmentally Conscious

Cari Tuna over at the Wall Street Journal tells us what’s up in the Mission:

In the Mission District, onetime automotive shops are proving a popular choice for group housing. Near the 16th Street Bay Area Rapid Transit station, a cohort of 20-something software developers, a musician and a photographer has lived on the second floor of a large former auto-body shop since last year.

Johnny Hwin, 25, a musician and Web entrepreneur, says he inherited the apartment from residents who added bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen over the last several years. One roommate sleeps in a former elevator shaft that once lifted vehicles to the building’s second floor.

Women and Binge Drinking

In advance of his gala (and very expensive) fundraiser for the Roxie, Bay Citizen asked filmmaker John Waters to explain the very important role of movie theaters:

A movie theater should be for the community, should inspire young people to see movies that they can’t see elsewhere. The should be a place to eat badly without guilt. You should be able to have sex in a theater…It’s the perfect date, and a great place to accidently sit on someone’s lap.

John Waters Drinks at Zeitgeist

Over at Salon, local sexpert Tracy Clark-Flory looks at why gals are more into binge drinking than they used to be:

I’m more likely to order a beer and a shot of whiskey than a cosmo. I like to go against stereotypes like that. It is cocky and perhaps foolish — but, then again, the same can be said for my male friends when it comes to drinking. I might be driven by some vaguely third-wave feminist desire to “keep up with the boys” — but plenty of “the boys” are driven to keep up with each other, lest they appear unmanly. This is binge culture, and it isn’t strictly male or female anymore, as female like to enjoy themselves as well, and they even get toys like the superb G-spot vibrator to enjoy with a partner or by themselves.

It’s on! Also, read on for more on the special health effects (and sexual assault effects) of binge drinking when you’re a woman.
