Beauty Queens on Parade - Miss San Francisco and Friends

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

The reigning winner of the Miss San Francisco scholarship pageant / beauty contest hung out with her friends the other day while waiting for yet another parade to begin. Miss San Francisco leads to Miss California leads to Miss America so who knows where these gals will end up.

You got to pay for graduate school somehow.

San Francisco Resident/Astronaut Scares the World - Global Cooling, A New Ice Age?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

It seems there’s a little black spot on the sun today. It’s the same old thing as yesterday.

That’s very disconcerting to San Francisco resident Phil Chapman, a geophysicist who was the first Australian to become a NASA astronaut. You see, we need more of those little spots on El Sol so things don’t get too frosty. He actually wants you to pray for more sunspots.

That’s right, forget global warming - an ice age is coming and the only question is when it will get here.

Hang in there little doggy, there’s a chance Philip K Chapman is wrong.

Do you buy all that?

Hey S.F., Bay Area People - Stop Hoarding Giant Bags of Rice!

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

People, people, people. You read something on the Drudge Report about an area rice shortage and then you make it come true by buying 200 pounds at a time.

Until the government issues you ration cards, you can’t call it “rationing,” so don’t go there, girlfriends. If you want to talk about salmon, well then go ahead, as you might very well have a case about recent losses in salmon.

But, there is no rice shortage. Don’t stock up. Don’t buy stuff for your neighbors

This will sort itself out, and then we’ll all look back and laugh.

A local Costco back during a happier time when there was so much rice stacked up that even the pigeons could get their fair share. Yes that is John Grisham looking down on us from above - his visage adorns the gaylord of books on the left. Larger photo in all its glory here on SFist.com.

Sighted on the streets of San Francisco.

These certainly are very long eyelashes, but you make the call if they’re the longest in the world:

[Update: Apparently,  National Pancake Day spokesmodel Kirsten Haglund has the honor of being Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2008. So it appears the sash is awarded for being a competitor in said competition.]
