Hug your laptops close

A little vignette courtesy of a Tumblrer named Lissy:

[A cafe in the Mission district. Someone steals an iPad out of a fellow cafe-goer's messenger bag and runs.]

  • Mark: Wow. What just happened?
  • me: Oh my God… I should have stopped him.

(hugging our laptops closer. a gray-haired grandpa walks past us. we eye him suspiciously)

  • me: (glancing back) I’m so paranoid now.
  • Mark: Maybe we should switch cafes….

See the little punchline here. And for goodness’ sake keep an eye on your gear.

Pyromaniac hoodlums start fire outside the Make-Out Room

It was small, but right up against a wall, could’ve gotten bigger. The gang stumbled away laughing:

Luckily, a good samaritan loped across 22nd Street in no time and stamped it out:

Hot new salsas coming soon at Papalote

The Feast has the scoop:

They go on sale the first week of November. Available at your friendly neighborhood Papalote or at the Papalote Salsa website.
