It’s 9/11, A Somber Time For Reflection and …
…It was an Inside Job! INSIDE JOB DAMNIT! Welcome to the Bay Area, where the crazy never ends. 9/11 Truth March and Power to the Peaceful Festival [Zombie Time]
The War Has Already Begun. And Ended.
The site of battle: The Oaks outside Memorial stadium. The soldiers at arms, seen here wearing traditional Haradin gear (either that or we’ve found our local terrorist cell) are already beginning their steadfast defense of their majesties of nature. Unfortunately for the bloodthirsty (seriously, I think their diet doesn’t contain enough iron, they desperately need [...]
Reaching Critical Mass in San Francisco
Remember when bikes were used as tools of peace and love? In case you forgot, we’ll treat you to smoking hot, pre-Full House Lori Loughlin above spreading the love. Look at those two glide. It makes you wonder why they haven’t been sent to the Middle East as peacekeepers yet. The terrorists would be overawed [...]
Ever Found A Nudist You Would Date? (Warning: Not Safe For Life)
Some people think Berkeley is just a swell place to live. These people conjure these ideas because they see residents like our friends above inhabit it, not allowing themselves to be constricted by trifles like clothing and decency. And we agree. Never can imagine a more pleasant feeling watching physically sagging human beings walk around [...]
Irony Can Be Sweet
You know, sometimes protecting the things that you love requires some distance to ensure you don’t impair your relationship any further. Otherwise who knows what could happen? Things could get thrown, names could be shown, another guy’s…face could be blown. Well, our favorite Oaks certainly got the raw end of this relationship. Protesters living in [...]
Gandhi Was Tougher Than This
Some people, like our friend at the right, certainly need a little bit of dieting to shed those extra pounds. Plenty of decent fads exist out there that merit some consideration or experimentation for those of us who have some weight problems. Then there is Berkeley, where its residents decide to find new ways to [...]
Yoga Brought Them Together: Berkeley Public TV
If there’s anything good we have to say about Berkeley citizens and their relative uselessness to society, it’s that they make Public Access TV worth ‘exploring’. That’s an accomplishment definitely worth lauding. Nice job by them. We think. (To be honest though, we don’t have the slightest clue what’s going on here.) Stretch the Body, [...]
Wonder What Bulldozed Hippie Smells Like (This Weekend in Sports)
As widely reported and speculated in the happy, friendly, bored Cal sporting blogosphere, it seems we’re moving closer to getting retrofitting going in our beloved stadium. The Hayward Fault cuts through Memorial Stadium, which means that a large-magnitude earthquake could severely damage the structure and endanger lives. Each day, nearly 500 students and staff members [...]
Vegans Can’t Procreate? Victory.
Enlightenment comes at a price, we guess. Vegans can believe all they want about the sanctity of plant growing and keeping animals out of your system, but here’s a news flash for them: Their babies will be stupider than them. Nina Planck explains their foolishness. I was once a vegan. But well before I became [...]
We Hate Hippies Because They Make Us Feel Sorry For Old People
We love riding bikes. Our town away from Berkeley, Davis, is the bike capital of the world; it’s always a great deal of fun to navigate the lanes there on a boring summer day. But we dare not ride our bike out here in Berkeley, no matter how time efficient it might be at getting [...]
