Sidewalk trademark violation
Look, I know you love the 49ers. You’re a rabid fan; painting yourself in the team colors, going to every game, drinking until you pass out. But you can’t show your appreciation for a team by scraping their logo into the cement. No, not because you’re defacing public property, but because you’re violating precious NFL…

Trader Joe’s Muni Metro line
The express checkout at the Stonestown Trader Joe’s features a painting of a Muni Metro train. After noticing the painting, it immediately raised two questions in my mind: While I won’t attempt to answer the first question, I’d like to speculate on the second. The TJ Metro line has to connect all five Trader Joe’s…

Raised by cats
It’s got to be tough being raised by wolves. But cats? You’ll spend the rest of your life acting like sort of a selfish jerk who’s obsessed with birds and laser pointers. (Spotted in Clarion Alley.)

Copenhagen
Recently I had some time to explore the streets of Copenhagen. It’s the capital of Denmark, an old seaside city with a distinctly fairy tale look. Every Dane is blond, blue eyed, in great shape, and is born with a bicycle in their hands. If you forget someone’s name, you can just call them “Christian…

It’s a trap! Why American bathrooms don’t smell awful
Do you ever get up in the morning, head to the bathroom, take a nice deep breath and proclaim, “Gee, I’m sure glad my bathroom doesn’t smell like shit!” Of course not. Because as an American, you live in a country where bathrooms only smell terrible after someone has recently defecated. What you may not…

12.5 ounce Coke
Ever had a 12 oz can of Coca-Cola and thought, “Gee, that was refreshing, but I could have used an extra 1/2 oz”? If you said yes, they’ve got the product for you: a 12.5 oz bottle of Coke. The same gas station with this sign also advertised a 16 oz bottle of Pepsi. Presumably…

I am a Cybear now…
The above teddy bear recently appeared on Clarion Alley. Red and blue like a 3D comic, his speech bubble reads “I am a cybear now…” The poor teddy bear. Someone needs to sew his little button eye back on. Across the way on the pavement there’s a simplified version of the full painting:

New iPhone 5 “Lightning” connector predicted in 1999
If you follow tech news at all, you know that Apple is replacing their large iPod connector with a new smaller connector for the iPhone 5 called “Lightning.” Most folks who follow Apple would assume that the name Lightning is a reference to Apple’s new Mac connector port called “Thunderbolt.” But is it? The above…

Truck nuts
To me, truck nuts always seemed both unnecessarily vulgar and not vulgar enough — it’s a vile gesture to give your vehicle balls, and yet testicles without a penis is clearly an anatomical abnormality. So I was delighted to see a local’s take on the “truck nuts” fad that dispenses with the vulgar aspect altogether,…

Fruit of an ATX tree
Oh these heavenly late-summer days, when the ATX tree’s tender blossoms mature into beautiful power fruit. Children climb the branches, looking for the ripest one they can find for their gaming PCs. On a lucky day in early September, a lucky child could even find a 750 watt ATX power supply. But alas, many fruits,…
