Run DMC on Reading Rainbow

MrEricSir

May 18, 2010

While we’re on the subject of hip hop and filling our blog with embedded YouTube videos, did you know Run DMC was once on Reading Rainbow?

But you don’t have to take my word for it.

My only complaint is that Jordi LeVar Burton didn’t rap along with them. It could have been something like this:

DMC:
Yo I like books
I like to read

Run:
Read a lot
If you want to succeed

LeVar:
Reading is smart
It makes you wiser
It’s hard to see
Without my VISOR

(Clearly I should quit my day job and become a rap lyricist.)

Broke in this Trendy City

I’m a huge ytcracker fan. For those not into the nerdcore scene, he’s easily the best nerdy rapper out there.

This particular track is something many of us can relate to.

Watch and see.

Yellow limes

MrEricSir

May 18, 2010

I was just at Bi-Rite where they have what appears to be lemons for tasting. I asked the cashier why you’d want to taste a lemon.

Turns out they aren’t lemons, they’re “SWEET LIMES.” Yes that’s right, a yellow lime.

Mind = BLOWN.

Ion Cars

When did this happen? And does this mean the plan to build a megaplex of generic, overpriced condos and a generic, overpriced Whole Foods fell through? (Fingers crossed!)

(The finger at the top is artistic, in case you were wondering. Definitely NOT a “mistake.”)

If you guessed this was a stamp collector’s meeting, you’re right!

Damn I love this city.

Insane Clown Posse parody on SNL

MrEricSir

April 29, 2010

SNL really nailed a parody of Insane Clown Posse’s latest video, “Miracles.”

But first, in the unlikely event you haven’t seen the Miracles video, here it is for reference.

Fuckin’ magnets… how do they work?

Okay, here’s SNL’s version.

Slimer paid a visit to a string of parking meters along Valencia today. It seems ghosts don’t like paying for parking.

Muni Diaries Live: Breaking it Down

MrEricSir

April 25, 2010
Last night Muni Diaries hosted their third live event, Breaking it Down. It was just as entertaining than last time, although the Make Out Room over capacity this time around. Next time they may need a larger venue.

If you didn’t go, here’s a quick list of what you missed:
- Cock-Ts performance
- Poet (and genius!) Silvi’s pleasant run in with a fare inspector
- Vero Majano’s Muni karma
- Bart operator Kelly Beardsley’s tales of oddness on Bart
- McPuzo and Trotsky performing Muni-related songs
- Bart romance with Muni Diaries’ Suzanne
- Several short stories from members of the audience
- Comedian Will Franken’s encounters on Muni
- Final performance with the Cock-Ts

Oh dear, the Anonymous meme junkies at 4chan seem to have infiltrated San Francisco’s hacker-den, Noisebridge, with a variety of meme-stencils.

Something is afoot in the old Mecca space at 2029 Market…

And what nice handwriting they have!
