Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Isn't "nerd style" an oxymoron, though?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thinks back to High School...

I'm going to go with "yes".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

CNN is saying massive underground explosion in San Francisco, smoke pouring out of manholes. I trust all our SFistas are staying above ground today?

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

It's not too far from where juliana and I live, but I don't think she was planning any spelunking today.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Scary!!

Probably another infrastructure problem, like the steam that came from the NYC pipe a year or so ago.

I wanna go home now! I hate Friday afternoons at work, especially in the summer.

This comment on sfist gives you an idea of the likelihood we would be in that area:

According to Alert SF, "Avoid the area of Polk / O'Farrell for next hour due to fire in underground vault. Heavy smoke. Traffic in area is impacted." Also, as always, you could very well get shot and killed at Polk and O'Farrell, or groped by bachelor party revelers from the nearby O'Farrell Theater, so do be careful.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Harrrrrrr. So true. It is very noisy around us right now, though, what with the news copters and the traffic diversions.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

heh ... we went through several summers when we had manhole covers being exploded out of place. It got very exciting.

I keep wondering why Al Quaida doesn't take credit for these explosions. Instill a little terror, boys! Spread a rumor! The loonly right will fly right off the handle for you and the conspiracy theorists will believe you for years.

It makes a gal think they just aren't that organized.
