Thumbs Down on the $5 Deli Trio Pannido from Jack in the Box

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I’m still wired from the caffeine from the thirsty-two ouncer of diet soda I got in order to earn my free Deli Trio Pannido today. Now maybe Jack’s New Grilled Sandwiches go for $3.99 in your neck of the woods, but they’re $4.99 in my part of the 415 and they’re just not worth it, IMO.

That’s something to keep in mind when they’re not just giving them away.

You might enjoy their ever so slightly racy commercial better than the samwich tho. (It prompted one punter to lament, “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Oh well.)

Anyway, J in the B is trying to produce something besides the same old fast food, so let’s give them credit for that.

The Bicycle Thieves of San Francisco Will Take Everything You Don’t U-Lock

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Here’s the thing about bicycle U-locks in San Francisco – bicycle thieves don’t want to deal with them. Now, back in the day, back in the 1990’s, bike stealers would first break into a Volvo to get a car jack to use to crack open your U-lock. It s0unds like a lot of trouble and it was.

These days, this is what you’ll see on the streets of San Francisco (and Daly City, at the BART station).

Stolen wheel or the sign of a cautious owner – you make the call:

Of course, people can break your heavy U-lock as well, but that doesn’t happen too often nowadays. The vast majority of thieves will just move on to an easier target of opportunity when they see a U-lock.

But things not U-locked are fair game.

Oh well.

See The Offspring for Free at the Warfield on July 31 – Free Free Free!

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Here’s your chance to experience The Offspring on Friday, July 31 at the Warfield right before they jet off to Europe.

Here’s the deal: Our corporate overlords at AT&T and Samsung want a chance to promote the new Samsung Jack cellie. Fair enough.

I’ve looked for the catch to this deal but, assuming you’re into The Offspring, there is no catch. Lots of Euros will soon be paying lots of Euros to witness what you’ll see for no charge.

Señoras y caballeros, El Descendiente:

The only way to mess this up is to wait too long. Go here now. Your goal is to get a Priority Ticket for two with your first and last name on it. Print that out, bring your ID on July 31, and you are golden.

If you become a registered guest and end up with a regular access ticket because you dilly-dallied, well, good luck to you. You’ll end up in a longer line and have no guarantee of seeing the these fly white guys.

Carpe diem.

Mayor Willie Brown Predicts the Plot of This Season’s 24 – A Deathbed Cliffhanger

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Fox TV 24-obsessed former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown recently expressed his thoughts after being queried about the ending of the current Season 7. Willie says hero Jack Bauer will be on his deathbed as the season closes, so fans will need to bide their time to see if Jacko makes it through.

It sort of sounds like ridonkulous 24 will become something of a giant commercial extolling the benefits of stem cells.
