Dolores Park Love Seat

Sexpigeon encountered this curiosity yesterday, and rightly questions how comfortable it actually is. Anyone know for sure?

Fat San Franciscans Feel No Shame

Rear Adm. Monteiro, on the weather:

Hot days like this make me wish I lived somewhere like NYC where fat people feel shame.

Might the Admiral have been in Dolores yesterday? Link.

Tangled Up In Bubblegum Sproings

Sexpigeon yesterday published my new favorite sentence:

She speaks Tagalish and every third word is “ponk” and every fifth word is “modderfacker” and it’s all tangled up in bubblegum sproings.

See her here.

Box of Crayons

Reader Steven W. sent this in the other day:

Just saw this today on a stroll to Flax with Casey (other half of Telephone and Soup) It was right by 15th and Valencia, the same side of the street of Jack Hanley gallery, but on the block nearer to 16th. Love the crayons, but not sure what’s up with the arrows?

What’s up with the arrows?

(Thanks, Steven!)

Weird Fish/The Corner Guy 'Done With Yelp'

From The Corner’s website, restaurant runner Timothy Holt:

This morning everything seemed cool- gorgeous weather, great plans, awesome Four Barrel Coffee and then suddenly I’ve noticed an email from Yelp telling me that the reviews I’ve posted on my own business, thanking the Yelp community and my friends for their support, had been removed from the system because the community had flagged my reviews. As I’m writing this email, the Yelp Community put The Corner on the Hot in Yelp section (what a irony).

I’m done with Yelp

(Thanks, Hector!)

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."
