Mission Mission

Not only was La Lengua the subject of a newspaper article yesterday, it also made its debut on the local news. CBS 5 talks to Burrito Justice and a few other La Lenguans, and gets a lengua taco at some place called “Taqueria Can-Can.”

Watch it here.

In the comments section of our post about last night’s big fire, a couple of neighbors that live nearby have noted that the water in their pipes is coming out brown.

So if you also live nearby, maybe test it out real quick this morning before blindly jumping in the shower, or downing your morning big glass of water.

Hampshire House just published a fond farewell:

Dear Doug, remember when we used to wash our clothes together while basking in the smell of citrus breeze and the hum of Latina hookers yelling “pinche puta” at their lovers wives on the tv. Those were the days…

Sounds nice! And see here for Doug’s own farewell notice, posted on the wall inside.

This week’s edition of Necessary Conversation opens with a fun gag about Twitter’s hot new tax break:

We mentioned last week that the San Francisco Chronicle’s Phil Bronstein was seen hanging out with some Guardian Angels in the Mission. Today, the results of that hang were published in video form:

Bronstein has more to say here.

(Thanks, Katie!)

TK has a series of tips for before, during and after. Here’s some of the after:

- The first thing you should do is try and figure out who your Leader will be in the Post-Apocalyptic Nightmare that you now inhabit. Try to gravitate towards people wearing animal skins and carrying guns. The Leader should be charismatic but also quietly assured and have a spiritual side that he doesn’t reveal, except maybe in one scene with Mila Kunis.

- You will need to rebuild the shattered world, so be the first to loot a nearby hardware store.

- Try to stay out of the Rivers of Blood. God knows what weird diseases those people had.

Solid advice, TK! Read on.

Obviously you’ve heard about the horrible news coming in from Japan by now, and may have even gone out to Ocean Beach to check out the 4 foot waves that are rolling in as we speak (how do you determine which waves are tsunami waves versus normal ones when they’re average height, anyone know?)  If you want to donate to help the people affected by this tragedy, please do yourself a favor and go through a reputable charity and not a random URL you found on Facebook or Twitter.

Here is a link (and another one here) you can check out if you need to get your Good Samaritan vibes flowing. (And be sure to slap this post all over Facebook and Twitter, for people to find randomly.) Remember kids, stay away from the water’s edge, keep an emergency safety kit handy just in case, and stop texting me “ARE YOU OK, TSUNAMI IN SF??”  if you’re on the East Coast – I’m fine, thanks.
