Mission Mission

everyday photos spotted it, and has an explanation here.

Makes sense. SFist has the scoop here.

SF Appeal is having its first big event: Some kind of really nerdy flashmob to celebrate the Culture Bus’ final excursion. Saturday afternoon! Link.

We’ve been seeing this thing around and didn’t know what to make of it. We like Oopsie Daisy much better.

Nevertheless, Flickr photographer hereandthereblog sent this in, and we like his shot, so here it is.

Like black-and-white cookies and marble rye, the chocolate babka was something that to me only existed in Seinfeld reruns. But now it is real.

I know, I know, this photo is terrible, but it couldn’t wait. Pal’s Take Away is now, on occasion I’m guessing, offering what they’re billing as “Straight Outta Brooklyn Green’s Chocolate Babka.” It is the new best thing in the world, cakey and fluffy, and crispy where it counts, and full of ribbons of chocolatey richness.

I was too busy stuffing it into my face to bother to ask whether they make it themselves or they’re shipping them in from Brooklyn or what, not that it makes a difference. I had one on Saturday and went back on Tuesday for four more.

Right? I dunno. It looks like somebody though. Blow it up for full effect.

Photo by potential past.

New in the running for Comment of the Year is this gem by one William Applebaum, on a post about Potrero del Sol Park:

you should keep the mission hipsters in dolores park. it would suck for them to ruin our skate park. they litter alot and play shitty music and the hipster girlfolk are nothing to look at really.

if we will stay out of your hipster heaven and then will you please stay the fuck out of our skate park?

otherwise i feel i might need to start hurting hipsters in many different physical ways and finish letting the air out of their tires on their bikes and selling them for cheap to the homeless that live under the 101 highway.

thank you.

No, thank you, William.
