Mission Mission

(Thanks, Dex!)

The original note appears to be the work of the same woman and organization that posted that “unfriendly chemicals” plea a couple weeks back. Looks like friendly tactics just aren’t working.

(Thanks, Mark!)

This makes me want to bust out the iron and make Perler Bead dinosaurs for everyone.

I spotted this handsome cat at Jack’s Club last night.

I imagine if I ever ended up in a parallel dimension and had to find my way home, this dapper critter would be my host. He would offer advice in a posh English accent like, “Dear me! It would be unwise to disturb those pterodactyl eggs, boy. Their mum is probably not far away.”

Thank goodness.

[Thanks, Cole!]

If you think Mission Mission is too liberal with its celebration of graffiti, you’re going to fucking hate Poison Darts ✞ Broken Hearts. Over the weekend, they posted this picture and explained its lasting importance:

SAN FRANCISCO
#1 – clean trains don’t get painted here, ever.

#2 – if a train did get painted, it would never run – they pull it immediately and send to the buff.

#3 – Not only is this train painted AND running with passengers, but it also happens to be during the World Series of 2002.

#4 – The baseball park downtown opened in 2001, so it was a pretty big deal to have the Giants in the series the following year.  The swell of home-town pride was so over the top.

#5 – Vic20 painted this N train, which runs above ground through downtown, passed the ballpark where millions of fans were partying outside, and then through the entire subway system and out the tunnel toward the beach (above ground yet again.)  It must have made this trip a total of 50 times back and forth before finally being taken out of commission to be cleaned.

Read on for a bit more commentary.

The big question is, sure we burned mattresses and hijacked buses and fire engines and attacked taxis and ran down pedestrians, but how come nobody managed anything this constructive and epic during the Giants’ SUCCESSFUL trip to the World Series last year?

If ’98 what?

Because I prefer multiple.
