Typical San Francisco joke
After a long night of making love, he notices a photo of another
man on her nightstand by the bed. He begins to worry.
"Is this your husband?" he nervously asks.
"No, silly," she replies, snuggling up to him.
"Your boyfriend, then?" he continues.
"No, not at all," she says, nibbling away at his ear.
"Is it your dad or your brother?" he inquires, hoping to be
reassured.
"No, no, no!!!" she answers. Don't be silly.
"Well, who is he, then?" he demands .
"That's me before my surgery."

Cool Wierd stuff happens there. It's very surreal at times. God I miss it.
Smoking cigarettes is illegal. Marijuana is legal. You can still walk up and down the Haight and hear dreadlocked tie-die frocked Deadheads trying to pander their wares mumbling "Doses" to you in hopes you need to buy some different reality. go figure

For honor and for riches,
But on my corns too long you've tread,
You fair-haired sons of bitches."

"Where elso but in San Francisco would characters such as Sister Boom-Boom, a transvestite who dresses in a miniskirted nun's habit, and a punk rocker names Jello Biafra run for seats on the Board of Supervisors? And where else would 75,000 runners dress like centipedes, gorilla, and six packs of beer to participate in the "moving masquerade ball" otherwise known as the Bay to Breakers Race?" ....JoAnne Davidson, journalist
See, I worked in an auto parts store that shared the same alley as the sex club. I'd be in the back of the store sorting brake cores or starters etc and the girls would walk along the alley and see me there working and offer free passes into the show. I'd go on record and state that none were gender benders. Crazy days for sure.
The key question is do you remember the conversation that we had regarding the large sum of money you were going to give me no strings attached?
turn on your ichat!

Bernie - the main shop is building a model of the VEV as well - I just gave a tour to a buch of 6th graders and they were all over the CEv parts.
It is pretty cool but harkens back to Apollo.
Ya that VEV looks pretty cool, a lot of people liked the Apollo days and a lot of stuff nowadays looks retro so no suprise that this looks back to Apollo. Has Northrop/Boeing shown any sketches of their idea?
Anyone see that Richard Branson is having a space port built in New Mexico for his Virgin Galactic venture? Has had 38,000 people pay a deposit to go up so far. Costs $200,000 for a trip. If they do start flying in '08 or '09 it might be a good time for me to look into the space architecture program at my school.
Unfortunetely I can't get on to the programs website at the moment or I'd be able to tell some more about it or show some images. I see this program as becoming very important once we get back to the moon an mars, and in the case of Virgin Galactic, possibly an orbiting hotel or something along those lines once commercial space travel becomes mainstream. Maybe someday a working Millenium Falcon.
