One of these things is not like the others

At first I was confused — what does it mean?! And why kankles? But thankfully, Google saved the day, yet again. Remember that dude we saw wearing chicken feet and mud on his head at the Noise Pop festival in February? His name’s Jason Jaworski, and it turns out Sprinkles Sparkles and Kankles is his website.

Given the complicated and sometimes messy nature of his previous work, I am surprised the sticker is so simple, but hey, it got the job done. Now we’re all looking at the website.

When can you trust a woman?

Ribity comes out!

From our buddy Brock:

Breaking: Ribity spotted across from Castro Theater atop blue Victorian. Camera won’t take clear pic. Anyway, Ribity is out of the closet, clearly.

The pic looks fine to me, baby. Congrats, Ribity!

So many Michiganders in the Mission

I think I met like seven or eight new ones this week, and then I saw this Flint pride in a bathroom.

All whites are sick?

I can’t tell which kind of racism this is. Is it like, “All white are siiick, bro!” Or is it that all white people are sick in the head?

Or is it just a comment on how white people all have allergies and stuff all the time and black people somehow don’t?

Rad Mummy

That’s right, it’s Mummy Week on Mission Mission. But seriously, this mummy is rad.

Beloved 14th and Valencia tiger mural eradicated

Here it is in its former glory:

And, today:

So that just happened.

On a positive note, the laser-eyes kitties mural has just come back from the dead, so maybe the Tiger might do the same someday.

Local news

This week on Necessary Conversation, my favorite local newscast, Beth and Melissa open with a bit about Girafa and San Jose!

They also give us a rundown of all the SF mayoral hopefuls, and Beth tells us about being stereotyped on her recent trip to New York. Watch now:

Commie Oddfellow

Right? All of a sudden he’s got a Fidel Castro thing going on. I like this new look for spring.

Rad dog is a ‘Friday’ fan

When I saw an email in my box titled “Rad dog quotes ‘Friday’ on Friday,” I was like, “Finally! Some Rebecca Black love in the MIssion!” But, alas, we’re talking about a different Friday. We all love this one too though, so it’s all good.

Reader Pete M., who snapped the pic, writes:

Saw this at 15th / Valencia this morning on one of those green utility boxes on the sidewalk.  One of the best monologues from one of the best movies…ever.

Thanks, Pete!
