Dubious Pun-Named Chinese Joint Moving In

I don’t think I like this: the space previously occupied by Papa Potrero’s Pizza on 24th and Potrero will soon be “Wok and Go”.

It’s not that I have a problem with Chinese food or puns. In fact, if I ever open a Vietnamese restaurant I plan on calling it “Phở- geddabout it!” or “Banh Mi? Banh YOU!” (Just to be clear, it will also have a mob theme. Servers will wear track suits and slicked-back hair.)

It’s just that most puns are based on an existing phrase or premise. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “Walk and Go”. A simple Google search confirms this. May I suggest, “Go for a Wok”? “All Wok and No Play”? Can’t go “Wong” with those.

Woah. So that’s what it sounds like when an entire neighborhood groans simultaneously.

Mission Pizza Parlor Actually Closes

Live Frogs & Chinese Food

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.
