Mission Mission

Do people still even name their dogs that anymore? 

Regardless, S. Pigeon has the scoop.

Seriously.  Some mega-douche made off with Mr. Daniel Harlan’s pug-nosed Himalayan cat, Samantha, from his makeshift encampment under a freeway off-ramp near 8th and Harrison.  Then, when he went off to look for her, his tent got stolen as well.

Seeing as how Samantha is the only thing he really cares about anymore, if you have any information concerning her whereabouts, please don’t hesitate to give Daniel a call on his cell at (415) 742-0095.  Yes, homeless people have cellphones too.  Pretty much everyone has one now.  In fact, I was woken up just last night by a recycling scavenger having an argument with someone he was talking to on his Nokia.  Multitasking!

Update!  The cat has been located and returned to Mr. Harlan. Well-meaning (an apparent non mega-douche) Tom Neville came upon Samantha just as Daniel had left her (leashed to the camp, in the rain) and assumed he was rescuing her from a terrible situation.  Which begs the question, is it a form of animal cruelty for homeless people to have pets?  What’s more important:  the pet’s well-being or the person’s emotional support?

Om nom nom, free tropical fish!!!  Posted on Craigslist this morning!

GET YOURSELF AN MFING PLECOSTOMUS!!!  IT’S FUN TO WATCH THEM EAT A FROZEN BROCCOLI FLOWER, PER WIKIPEDIA!!!!

Available in the Mission, today.

This amazing chalk rendition of Quetzalcoatl (any relation to Missionlocatl?) just popped up on 21st and Valencia. More pictures and details are up on the artist’s blog.

It’s $2.99 for a live frog vs. $1.00 Chinese food.  I’d likely go with the Chinese food; not only is it cheaper, it’s ready for consumption.   Guess you could say I’m not only eager to save some GREEN, I’m also too hungry to wait for some frog to CROAK to eat it.  RIBBETING, right?

Sorry ’bout that.  That was on Mission at Geneva.  From Don’t ask me, I just work here.

First day of the year is always tough.

Available now, at Bi-Rite.  ‘Tis the season!

Okay, no pressure or anything, but the New York Times says there’s a Chihuahua surplus in the Bay Area, so we should probably all go out and get one, because we all live in a traditionally MEXICAN neighborhood and these dogs are from MEXICO.

So anyway, my theory is that everyone in the Bay Area saw the trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua and was like AW FUCK NO re: these little shits and returned their pups to the pup store.  Another classic Norcal vs. Socal debate.

Go ahead and share this one in your Google Reader with the note “Bitch is crazy. I miss Allan.”

Found in Berkeley but too awesome to ignore.
