A letter from my buddy re: Bay to Breakers
To Whom it May Concern:
I find it appalling that after so many years of self-governance and jollity that ING and its partners would decide to deflate a great San Francisco event and institution. A zero tolerance policy? No wheeled vehicles of any type? Do you have any idea why people love B2B? Or why ESPN dubbed this one of the “101 things all sports fans must experience before they die?” It’s not because of the fierce competition, emphasis on fitness or wonderful scenery. It’s because of the fact that the entire city lets her collective hair down and engages in an event that amounts to an annual parade celebrating the joy of being a San Franciscan. While I would expect such draconian nonsense in a place like Orange County, I find it strangely out of place in my beloved city. After eight straight years of attendance, I plan to stay away this year. I hope you are happy to alienate a good portion of the population that loved and honored this event.
Sincerely,
Another Disgruntled SF Resident
Picking Sides
I was always on John Kruk’s side vs. Randy Johnson. Now that The Big Unit (seriously, that’s his actual nickname?) is a Giant, I guess I have to back RJ. Farewell, Krukky.

But its gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
Its gonne take plenty of money
To do it right child
Its gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
Its gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child
Not to go all BonerParty or anything, but M.I.A. is just all like, “I don’t give a fuck, this baby is going to be rad.” And who puts her on this worst-dressed list? Hello, she’s like the best-dressed due date mom in world history. Can’t wait till she has that baby and gets back to making awesome music. She wuz robbed last night.
