2Krill drops some knowledge on the “cool kid” vs. “hipster” debate Allan started way back in the prehistoric days of February:

I call them faggots because that’s what they are. Back in the days we would have called them faggots too or wannabes, fakes, flakes, etc… They try too hard, so we could just call them fail too. There’s nothing cool about being a trendy faggot. Be yourselves, pussies.

We will be welcoming a special guest at Mission Pie that day, too.

Remember how a stoplight got mowed down the other night?  Well, according to friend of the blog, Kati Jackson, the city got a new one up in less than 24-hours.  We can only hope the old one is now resting in peace at some art space.

(Thanks Kati!)

See the results.

audrey awwwdamn snapped this cool shot of the crazy vine house on 17th at Church.

For some reason, the view of the house on Street View reminds me off all the octopus sticker art I see around the hood

From Mission Mistaken:

On my way home today, I swear to god I saw our skater boys from the ‘SFPD arrest of skater punks’ video from a few days back.

North of the Market St. Safeway, a few blocks off of Duboce Park.

If I’m not mistaken, they were about to be photographed by what appeared to be a REAL photographer.

If anyone has the inside scoop, I’m sure my fellow (long suffering) MM readers would love to get the skinny.

I’m too lazy to do any real research on this*, but I’d put my bets on the Chronicle doing a followup story in which they don’t credit us with breaking the story.  Either that or TLC was shooting the promotional photos for the upcoming reality show, A Day In The Life of Some Skaters Kinda Made Famous By a Minor Local News Controversy.

* Commenters and tipsters, do your thing

This and other comment-gold over at SFist.

I’m pretty upset that they will not deliver to my yacht parked in the middle of the Bay, but this is still pretty sweet:

Regarding the map (warning: PDF):

we will deliver to you if you’re even remotely close to the zone..  this is just to discourage 3am deliveries to the zoo

but we will do it . if someone wants to pay

Who wants to go halfsies on an order of Zante’s delivered to the grizzly bear enclosure?
