And if you like this, you’ll probably also like Joan’s shirts. And her pixel homage to SF transit. Also, can anybody identify which burrito this is exactly?

Reader Ben K. reports:

Sunday in Clarion Alley. Nearly a dozen bags full of raw chicken going to rot in the April sun. The smell was…memorable.

Sorry I missed it!

American Tripps breaks it down:

We at American Tripps are thrilled to be throwing our first full-blown Berlin-style ping pong party at a full-blown San Francisco rock ‘n’ roll club. Rickshaw Stop rules!

There’s a full bar and tons of space. We’ll have two ping pong tables, as well as foosball and skeeball, and epic views of all the action from the mezzanine level — and Rickshaw Stop’s rickshaws.

DJ PJ will provide the music.

Can’t wait! RSVP and invite your friends!

Oh and here’s an animated GIF illustrating exactly how awesome it will be, courtesy of our pal Jess:

Good news and bad news: the good news is that I’d heard Cuco’s was set to close forever at the end of February, yet it’s still open for business (and still churning out the best burrito in the city) — the bad news is that they’re still under threat. Our pal Lizzy reports:

The Cuco’s people have been there for +/- 20 years; as such they’ve been on a month to month arrangement rather than a lease for quite a while. Recently the landlord said that in order to negotiate a new lease and stay there, they would need to make a ton of remodels to the storefront, including turning it into two floors. They’re meeting with the landlord and city reps to figure out whether the landlords requests are legal and if they will have to fulfill them in order to stay in the space.

So they’re collecting signatures. Get over there and eat a super plantain burrito and sign the petition!

On one hand, this easily is the raddest helmet ever, constantly demonstrating how fabulous you are as you zip through intersections bedazzling  pedestrians and motorists alike while belting out ABBA tunes, leaving freshly seared retinas in your wake.  On the other hand, actually getting into an accident while wearing this thing might turn a normally harmless collision into a horrifyingly disfiguring one  for your face:

No haphazardly glued plastic mirror pieces here, this is the real deal (this disco ball helmet uses real glass).

Legitimate concern aside,  I say GIMME GIMME GIMME!  Should you happen to agree, you can find step-by-step DIY instructions for how to make your own here!

Say what you will about how tough it is to let go of your favorite memories from childhood. This guy will just laugh as his sweet off-road powerwheel SUV or jeep kicks sand (or gutter piss) in your face while he rides by.

And then you can laugh when the battery conks out a block or two down the road. Unless of course the driver is a miniature albino with dreadlocks.

The latest from Cool Try, our favorite local t-shirt producer, is a doozy. (The thing is, it’s labeled “HAMBURGER,” but it’s actually a picture of a pizza.)

Get yours here.
