Mission Mission

It all began earlier this year with one reader’s impassioned plea for some decent pierogi in San Francisco. There was lots of interest, lots of talk. There was an email thread called “Pierogi Party” for a while, but I don’t recall whether it ever came together or not.

This weekend, finally, there’s a pierogi pary in SF. PierogiSF tells us all about it:

The Pierogi Plea Is Being Answered on Saturday, Dec 18th – Twice!

PierogiSF (http://www.twitter.com/pierogisf) and Oakland’s Natural Cookery (https://www.facebook.com/1219cookery?v=wall) have each heard the pleas for delicious pierogi in the Bay Area, and we’re answering the call at this Saturday’s (12/18) New Taste Marketplace! (http://www.newtastemarketplace.org) 4-9pm at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in Potrero Hill, 500 De Haro at Mariposa.

For a very special Christmas episode of Necessary Conversation, the gals go inside the City Hall Holiday Open House. They get a sound-byte from Frank Chu, they meet the Supervisors, and they exchange some dirty innuendos with Gavin Newsom. See for yourself. Merry Christmas!

Wow. Reader Eric E. spotted this gem over at Engrish. There are no words.

Thanks, Eric!

The best part was when I commended him on his outfit and he responded with “Mario who?”  For a second I thought he was messing with me, but then his girlfriend was all, “No, seriously, the only video game he’s ever played is Pong.  He grew up in the 70s.”

First Leonard Cohen, now this?? The ’80s are BACK, people!

I mean, did you guys see this picture? It’s awesome!

When you spend as much time on Tumblr as I do, you see a lot of pictures of people on BART.

This is not your average picture of people on BART. This is gold, Jerry. Gold.

This may be a photo by Everyday Photos, but, no sir, this is no everyday photo.

Everything about this picture is great but I can’t really explain why. I think it might be better than BART boner, BART buttcrack, and BART bummer combined. Best BART pic of the decade?

Check it out! Thanks, Dude and all your other favorite Tika Hall comics are now available on Etsy. Ideal for those of you that are freaked out by human interaction.

Happy holidays!
