Cute Pink Cat

This pink cat (photographed by Andy Brooks) is pretty cute, but not as cute as Apple Fritter.

Halloween Missed Connection Madlibs!

MISS______ is getting a lot of attention over at Missed Connections right now, and all in madlib form. Do let us know if you solve any of these complicated equations. (I’m assuming it’s not MISSION HIPSTER.)

See here, here, here and here, or (in case they get flagged for being too much fun or something) view them all in screenshot form after the jump:

Kitty/Puppy

Yeah. Painfully cute, right? And they’re up for grabs, down at the SF SPCA.

Oh, what? Your place doesn’t allow pets? As we learned earlier this year, rules like that can often be circumvented. Circumvent!

The kitty’s name is Apple Fritter by the way. Just sayin’.

 

Trick or Loko

Kind of funny, Troy. But not entirely funny…

If you guys missed Ariel’s sad Four Loko story last week, now’s your chance.

 

A Very Bananas Halloween

This is a video of some Bananas fans doing a choral cover of the Bananas’ greatest hit, a sweet and tender nautically themed love song. People all over the world love the shit out of this band, and you can find out why tonight at the Secret Alley’s epic Saturday Night Halloween party. More on that here. Don’t miss it!

In case this doesn’t immediately crack you up, Ice Tubes has an explanation.

Environmental Protection Agency Shuts Down Ghost-Busting Operation

The skies over San Francisco were spooky and epic earlier this evening.

Nature always has the best special effects.

Running the sink while they pee or poop

Sharp-Dressed Man

I rode Muni today for the first time in ages, and had fun. Way slower than biking, but I got to see this fine ensemble. I love the way the bag sort of matches the pants, and the way they contrast with the flashy-sneakers-and-dressy-socks combo. Those are the best Pumas I’ve seen in a long time!

Don't Say Shit Else

I was riding the F up Market today, and there was was a loud drunk sitting in the back occasionally harassing other passengers. People dealt with him in various ways, but my favorite was the following. A guy boards the vehicle, presumably a guy that the loud drunk kind of knows. The loud drunk beckons his acquaintance:

HEY, COME SIT BACK HERE. COME SIT BACK HERE!

The acquaintance regards the loud drunk for a second and then shouts back:

I told you, I DON’T SELL CIGARETTES on THE BUS.

Loud drunk:

JUST COME BACK HERE.

Other guy, fed up already:

KILL this CONVERSATION. Don’t. Say. SHIT ELSE.

Nobody said shit else (until several stops later when the loud drunk started calling the driver a bitch because she wouldn’t run a red light or something).

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
