Bear Fair
Spent my first hockey free Sunday of the season furniture shopping with my aunt. We hit up the stores in SOMA in the early afternoon. A few blocks in, I saw flyers for various things Bear, followed shortly by very loud dance music and something that resembled a very large block party.
My aunt was confused. I told her it didn't have anything to do with animals. She asked if it had to do with Republicans. No, I said, that would be elephants. She wondered if it had to do with the stock market. A slighly better guess, but no, different kind of bear.
Finally, I explained to her what a bear was, stopping partway through my explanation to laugh at a license plate that read "BEAR ESQ". I finished explaining as we reached Hairrison (ha!), and I told her to look left and right for real, live examples.
She looked left, and saw 3 big fuzzy men approach. One of them had nothing but loose jeans and suspenders on, and as he walked away he treated us with a view of his hairy beary ass crack.
Auntie was unfazed. I'm totally impressed.

Hahaha, click on the link! Speaking of the Cal Bears, I saw a great billboard in the city yesterday. It read, "Cal introduces the 1,500 pound pocket protector," with a picture of 5 offensive linemen.

Yeah, the Folsom Street Fair. That was a memorable experience, not repeated by moi. Esp. the couple where the guy in front had a leash... attached to the two nipple rings of the guy in front. I couldn't stop thinking, "Damn, what if he TRIPS?!?!?"
Very cool Cal ad. I like that!!
