Mission Mission

From the desk of photographer Cranky Old Mission Guy:

Always keep a puke-bucket handy when you’re on a bender.

More.

I wonder if it worked. I bet they’re a cute couple.

Well, I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.  Slo-mo is back!

Thanks Nico!

If you don’t, a good Samaritan like reader Margo might write you a friendly note and leave it in your bottle cage.

When she left Casanova a while after, Margo noticed the bike was gone. She hopes, as do we, that it left with its rightful owner.

We’ve been hipped to a new blog making the rounds featuring an exhaustive collection of burritos from around Mission (and elsewhere), each standing vertically with the firm posture befitting its pedigree as a MISSION BURRITO.

From the looks of it, this guy has eaten a lot of burritos.  Now, I’m no slouch myself (as Vic can attest having witnessed me eating three super burritos in a single day), but the thought of taking this dude on in a burritopacolypse death match makes me just a little queasy.

All hail the Burrito Whisperer (although he didn’t seem to get the memo about how the dudes at Jarritos are a bunch of jerks).

These Blu people (not from the James Cameron magical cats movie) made this crazy video that explains where we came from and where we’re headed. I guess. Anyway, it’s really long, and maddeningly thorough. If you don’t have 10 minutes to watch it I recommend letting it load and jumping to about 8:10 where it shows us humans and our issues. Not just because it’s about us, but because it’s really neat.

Shitty economy or not, the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive. Take these bright Mission youngsters, for example. Gaucho Dave snapped this shot of them and explains:

I remember when I was a kid, trying to make a buck in the summer I’d sometimes mow lawns. SF is different, these boys tried to charge me $1 to take a picture of them with a condom they blew up. I told them I had lots of friends and would do free advertising for them in exchange for a picture.

Done and done. They might still be around at 19th and Florida if you want to take them up on their offer. New decks and bearings are expensive.

SFist just published a barn-burner of a post about an effort to slap a stop sign on the above intersection so as to curb drivers tearing ass down the hill. Read up.

Eye on Blogs explains:

Bay to Breakers spokesman Sam Singer moments ago fired off a sobering press release: Next year’s race, the 100th, will take place on May 15th — and no alcohol of any kind will be tolerated.

Is this even possible? Enforceable? Won’t the people revolt? Look what fun they’re having!
