When Stan and Kyle are leaving the Foley family’s house, Mr. Foley tells them to marry an Asian woman to avoid having ginger children, saying “I know a guy who’s marrying a Japanese woman very soon for just that reason.”

So, how much does it cost to manufacture an official SFGov 2012 GIANTS street sign these days?
Can I buy one? What’s the price?
Or better yet, can I get some for free to hand out to my good friend / benefactor Con Ronway?
Next stop, Willie L. Brown Jr. Boulevard!
Thank you, drive through.

Not exactly sure that the Shermam Firefly tank displayed below saw any action on D-Day (and, anyway, lots of these D-Day tanks ended up at the bottom of the Bay of the Seine), but it’s fun to pretend:
Spotted at the “Lifestyle format,” Starbucks-free Inner Richmond Safeway on Cabrillo.
