Mission Mission

Ever been to Hayes Valley? Then maybe you know these characters, described here by local urban anthropologist (and illustrator) David Enos:

[T]he one in the poncho “fishes” for change using a cup attached to a stick.  When he’s away from the office, (presumably not gone fishing) he weaves the stick and cup through the criss-crosses of the cyclone fencing for safe keeping.  They are horndogs.  I heard them once talking about how hot Red Sonja, Brigitte Neilsen, was.  “Red Sonja…man oh man…MAMA!  Red Sonja…hot as fuck…” Somehow, they have attracted a woman who hangs out with them.

Read on for talk of asses and corncobs.

Local photographer Nick Fisher recently sat at the bar at Dr. Teeth and ate chicken wings covered in a sauce made with bhut jolokia, the ghost pepper.

Viral locksmith marketing hits the streets! Although this one’s location has slipped my mind, there’s another at 19th and Guerrero.

I wonder how one might actually embed something like this into the asphalt?

Seriously, I’m asking. I saw the sign after it was already too late to attend:

If you haven’t jumped on the cell phone bandwagon, now’s the time.

The pay phone at 22nd near Mission is finally dead.

That’s the vibe bartender Rob will be going for this Sunday at Thieves Tavern. Here’s the plan:

Yo, so I don’t know what the food will be, but I’ll definitely have food. I’ll be open at 10am. $5 for a PBR and shot of either Jameson or Bulleit. $6 for a Manmosa: a pint of champagne with a shot of citron vodka and OJ. $6 spiciest bloodies this side of the Mississippi.

Say what!? All that plus football and a fridge full of Old Style and a tad bit of sunlight peeking through the front windows! เว็บแทงบอลโลก betting made easier.

Vandals? Drunkards? A jealous ex?

Found on the bathroom wall of a secret pupuseria. So simple yet so shiny.
