Mission Mission

Our buddy Cranky Old M.G. has amassed an impressive collection:

I know that if I were a petty criminal, I’d be anxious to get the stink of jail off me too, but perhaps leaving your ID bracelet on the street isn’t wise. You could become a victim of identity theft!

Read on to hear the whole story and view the photo in its entirety.

Clearly, the only conclusion that one can come to when finding strange objects on the street is that they came from a “hipster party”. Has anyone seen a “lamenting hipster” walking around? Or perhaps one of our hipster readers knows what happened here.

If so, let Mission Loc@l know.

Aw, hell naw:

The highlight of the night was pouring out beers for drinking in public, but that’s OK because these bad guys respected us for doing it, they knew this was breaking the law.

The question is, what kind of beers? Hopefully no local microbrews.

All this comes from their latest patrol report. The report also indicates that they accosted and handcuffed a kid for MUNI fare evasion. Apparently, it’s ok to slap handcuffs on a total stranger. If I wasn’t such a pussy, I might be inclined to say something slightly unflattering about these guys.

Update: Our pal Joshua comments:

actually it looks like they handcuffed one of their own incognito. Then again, their writing is so god-awful I can’t really tell what they’re trying to say.

Reader Andy P. wants to know:

I was riding north on S Van Ness back to work and saw all kinds of commotion on 22nd street, anyone know what happened?

Luckily, tipster Eugene C. has the answer!

Nothing terribly exciting and you can’t see much in the pic, but two pickups got into an accident on 22nd at Capp in front of the El Trebol.

So there you go.  Nice work team!

UPDATE: More pics!! And word of an injury. Also, SFist has more story.

Tipster Kathy tells us: “My 5 year old and I went to Mission Chinese Food/Lung Shan yesterday for takeout and my daughter noticed this critter in the gutter, alive and scooting along.”

Alive and Scooting.

Making a run for Mission Creek?

It may be Caturday, but it’s been a dog of a week around the Mission Mission offices. Someone wanted a giant dog and we found one. Dogs played soccer with humans in Dolores Park while others were stuck inside.

The pup seen above is peering out of the mailbox hole in his fence on Capp Street. I dunno what he’s waiting for (the November issue of Dog Fancy?) but he was pretty focused on something coming from the North.

PUPDATE: According to “tony perrie” on Flickr: “Little Marriner looks innocent enough, but when he was allowed to run free, he once bit a defenseless kitty for casting a threatening gaze his way. Don’t be fooled by his act.”

Weather:  Hawtt, 5 days and counting
Accoutrements:  Ganja treats and tamales
Refreshments:  Cold beer, cold water; walnut popsicles

Advice:  make like Scorpion and “Get over here!”

UPDATE:

Mission stalwart/artist/yoyo-ist/game designer Doctor Popular celebrates the birthday of his girlfriend’s 30th birthday with an EPIC ANIMATED GIF of her playing at the BART entrance. (16th or 24th?)

(Do check out Unwoman’s brand new album The City, released just last week.)

p.s.  Also take a look at Doc Pop’s epic Pac-Man watercolor series, Ghosts in the Machines:

“I could have sworn she said the corner of Guerrero and Dorland . . . ”

Is there something about a couch on the sidewalk that somehow easily becomes anthropomorphized and pitiful? Is it because they’re a place of comfort, but also a place that we sink into when we’re sad?

In case you somehow missed it, SFist did a cool piece a couple weeks ago with a Sofa Free master, Erik Wilson: The Abandoned Couches of San Francisco.
