Mission Mission

Todd Lappin came upon this gruesome scene out back of the U.S. Bank Building. Says he:

[F]ear not… this zombie won’t be terrorizing the Mission anymore. No sir.  I think he came from Texas.

The program will allow registered members to unlock bikes electronically with a “smart card” or credit card for a set amount of time, with fees determined by how long the bikes are taken out (much like Zipcar). Trips for half an hour or less would be free. And in order to deter would-be thieves, each bike will be outfitted with GPS units and RFID identification tags.

This oddly menacing guy is scrawled on the trash bin in the men’s room at Beretta. Why would someone vandalize Beretta? Perhaps the vandal, like me, was upset to find the Improved Whiskey Cocktail no longer officially on the menu. Sure you can still order it, but how will future generations even know it exists?

All of Them Witches has a contest on right now:

Please provide a rational explanation of this shirt I bought from one of those bulk vendors on Mission St.

Your prize will be determined by the amount of ration you provide.

Good luck! The associations seem to be completely arbitrary, so you’ll need it.

Also, no Mission? Well, what kind of cartoon breasts should represent the Mission?

In case you didn’t know, there’s this:

Reader Michael P. didn’t know, until yesterday’s paper:

Did you know about this? I only found it because it was a clue in Tuesday’s NYTimes crossword (the answer to which I only got because of the crosses): “1918 song girl whose name was sung with a stutter”.

Wow. I get winded from excitement just looking at this crummy picture of it. Look at the placement of the cars! What? What a completely perfect thing!
