				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week <a href="http://www.missionmission.org/2014/06/13/mystery-gunk/" target="_blank">Allan asked me to interpret some gross crap on a bathroom wall</a>. Inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jaffee" target="_blank">Al Jaffee</a>&#8216;s Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions, I gave it a crack.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_58902.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54155" title="IMG_5890" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/IMG_58902-560x447.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="447" /></a></p>
<p>When I was a kid I got the little paper back collections from MAD Magazine, and one of my favorites was Jaffee&#8217;s, both because they were hilarious, and also because they offered the opportunity for me to put my own punchlines in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-51-52-PM.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54145" title="Photo Jun 23, 10 51 52 PM" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-51-52-PM-e1403589849873-560x749.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="749" /></a></p>
<p>Insert your own here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-55-16-PM.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54149" title="Photo Jun 23, 10 55 16 PM" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-55-16-PM-560x430.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="430" /></a></p>

<p>Some originals from Jaffee&#8217;s book, with my adolescent-mind additions, after the jump.</p>
<p><span id="more-54143"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-52-38-PM1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54146" title="Photo Jun 23, 10 52 38 PM" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-52-38-PM1-560x442.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="442" /></a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;No, triplets.&#8221;</em> Doesn&#8217;t really make sense, but I thought it was hilarious. Where is the third kid? Any guess is funny. I guess.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-53-06-PM.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54147" title="Photo Jun 23, 10 53 06 PM" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-53-06-PM-560x415.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="415" /></a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Who are you?&#8221;</em> It&#8217;s basically the same joke as the question.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-54-09-PM.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54148" title="Photo Jun 23, 10 54 09 PM" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Photo-Jun-23-10-54-09-PM-560x409.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="409" /></a></p>
<p><em>&#8220;No, yours. Please sign these papers.&#8221;</em> Not so much a joke, kind of a twist ending that you could have seen coming.</p>
<p>Also, tip of the hat to <a href="http://www.thebolditalic.com/articles/4251-the-shit-that-happens-when-you-gentrify-valencia" target="_blank">Jon Adams and Champ City over at The Bold Italic</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I&#8217;m prepared for the idea that it might just be me. It usually is just me. Maybe I have an acute sensitivity towards <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia" target="_blank">pareidolia</a>. But when I saw the picture of the Bay Area that the astronaut took from space today I immediately recognized what was actually happening: The East Bay, San Francisco and Marin are engaged in an eternal battle for the Golden Gate!</p>
<p>Three great beasts. Here&#8217;s the proof:</p>
<p><a title="Bay Area Battle by eviloars, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eviloars/6965720622/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8168/6965720622_b7135d8729.jpg" alt="Bay Area Battle" width="560" height="372" /></a><br />
(<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eviloars/6965720622/in/photostream/lightbox/" target="_blank">Bigger version</a>)</p>
<p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/astro_andre/status/193761687902486528" target="_blank">original photo</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6953418906_8104879e9c_b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-38428" title="Bay Area From Space" src="http://www.missionmission.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/6953418906_8104879e9c_b-560x372.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="372" /></a></p>
<p>Or maybe they&#8217;re all just reaching out to gobble up the doggie biscuits that are Islands Yerba Buena, Treasure, Angel and Alcatraz.</p>
<p>Of course, this is not without precedent, in that I had previously revealed the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eviloars/4379160317/" target="_blank">East Bay Beast</a>.</p>
