Damn I sure love it when city streets are closed to automobile traffic.

Last week, somebody came across this orderly pile of (hopefully?) unused razors on BART. Was it an art project? Was it a public health concern? Was it some kind of terrorist plot?

Our buddy David G. wrote in over the weekend with some news:

Umm I may have an explanation

I’m not sure it’s an “explanation” exactly, but it’s pretty good. Here it is:

You should totally go to this and support laughs: Uptown Almanac is throwing a comedy bash featuring some of our favorite local stand-up comedians, including Sean Keane and Chris Garcia, at the Roxie tomorrow, Tuesday May 10th.

It’s only $6.50 and there will be lots of complimentary PBR to go around! So if you drink six, that’s like a $3 value. Starts at 7:30pm. We’ll be there, so if you want to take out the entire Mission blogging community all at once, that’s your chance to strike.

Presale tix are available here.

Margaret sent this in and said it was found at the 24th street BART.

At first this was puzzling to me. Then I realized that if you’re waiting for the T at 24th and Mission, then you’d have enough time to have a plaque made about it, ’cause it aint showing up anytime soon.

Please, if you have small children, distract them with some Handi Snacks while viewing this photo:

This is a disturbing image of discarded cheese after last year’s book release party for “Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge” at Amnesia. We debated on whether or not to release this photo for months, but decided that the public deserves to know.

The book was written by Gordon “Zola” Edgar, a cheesemonger at Rainbow Grocery. It’s all about how cheese is made and sold. I hear it’s damn funny to boot. You should check it out if you like cheese (and I think you do).

Before you can enter, you must answer the following riddle:

Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?
