It has been  a few weeks now since the SF Eagle closed its doors. No bikes out front, no men inside, chained shut, it sits empty. But not silent. Its walls speak. In several languages, actually. Graffiti farewells and protests decorate the outside of the once vibrant gathering place. What comes next, no one knows. For more on the demise of the beloved San Francisco Leather bar, click here, here, here, and here.

Broken Giant. Get Well, Buster!

It was a painful moment when Marlin Scott Cousins sealed Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants by crashing into catcher Buster Posey at home plate. Buster’s fibula snapped and he’s out for the season. According to first baseman Aubrey Huff, the atmosphere around ATT park yesterday was grim. He told Sports Illustrated: “It felt like a morgue when you walked in here today.” The baby-faced catcher is a popular Giant, both on the team and with his fans. His wholesome looks contrast with some of his edgier team mates’ styles. More on that here and here. SI‘s Anne Killion writes: “He’s their square-jawed Captain America on a goofy cartoon-strip team.” That’s one way to put it! For the rest of that article, click here.

Ball Check! Brit Rugby Team plays Doctor.

Posted on May 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s all fun and games til somebody discovers a lump. Full frontal nudity PSA. These British lads weather the laughter of their team mates and come out smiling with clean bills of health. Point of it all? Other than pure entertainment of course…it’s quick and easy to check your nuts and always more fun with a mate – or a dozen!

Catalan Nativity Little Shitter ‘El Caganer’ as Mascot for May 21 Rapture Movement?

Posted on May 19, 2011 by | 2 comments

Coincidence?

The squatting man in the May 21st Rapture posters looks suspiciously like el caganer, the little squatting shitting paisano, which is Catalan’s famous nativity figure. Connection? Coincidence? This billboard is in San Francisco, hanging on the side of the building that also houses The Lone Star…
