Happy Birfday, Gavin!
That was one important vagina 40 years ago today. Who knew back then that it would poop out San Francisco's fearless leader, Gavin Newsom, who just turned a still-sexy 40? Ta-da! (The presumably wax-sealed, engraved invitation to his soirée must have gotten lost in our mailbox somewhere between the Bed, Bath & Beyond 20%-off flyers and retirement home advertisements. We're sure. Alas.)
Anyway, Beth Spotswood asked a few important, local notables (and SFist) to share their birthday wishes for le Gav.
If we may steal from Spots -- and just who wouldn't? -- what's your wish for Gavin? Go on; don't be afraid to tell him what you really want for him. Best of luck? A smooth ride on the road of sobriety? La Prairie's 's cellular line?

Silly gay... every vagina is important!
Brock, while I like a lot of what you've done with SFist, just a tip if you want to keep the straight lady readers: fewer references to vaginas "pooping" things out.
Thanks in advance.
Happy birthday Gavin, happy birthday Gavin, happy birthday Gavin... SFist caught you doing a BJ on a KTVU microphone!
Hear, hear, agirlsgirl.
Brock, get thee to an anatomy class. Unless you meant "popping" instead of "pooping," in which case hie thee to a typing class.
Yep, I too was figuring one would "pop" out when being born. pls fix thx.
Honestly? Anyone who's given birth knows it's far more like "pooping" than "popping."
But since it's Gavin we're talking about, isn't pooping really the best-suited term anyway?
And yep, bluecanary, as someone who has given birth, I second your comment. Labor? I thought it was the four orders of onion rings I ate that day!
How about you write your own article, and stop giving Spots undue publicity? She's an untalented hag who gets by solely on her sad obsession :) You are enabling her.
1) zits pop, babies poop.
2) Kay, your spots jealousies amuse and tell us all we need to know about you. she'll be thrilled to read your backhanded insult.
Maybe if by some unfortunate circumstance I aspired to be a talentless, obsessed and unlucky journalist wannabe, you'd be correct. But I am just annoyed at the brown-nosing and what you're turning this place into. I come here for content, but I find... this. Please remember, as a good editor, that this is SFist. Not Brockist. Bring More Rita please.
kay, it sure as heck won't turn into district 5 progressive dem-ist anytime soon, dear navel gazer. love your earrings, btw. for reals.
and, yes, love us some rita too. we can agree on that.
A lot of things you say suggest that you just really want to be a woman. This is nothing personal even if I make it sound personal. I just want the SFist that I knew and used to love back. I think a lot of people will agree.
Hey, Kay, thanks for all the tips on what SFist should be about. Hard to believe my co-founders and I managed to run the site for so long without your advice! Brock is so lucky to have you.
If only we'd known what an untalented hag Beth was, when we began cross-linking with her personal blog back when we started the site in 2004! I certainly would have discouraged her from being an active commenter on the site for the 2 years I ran the joint. And I never, ever would have been so impressed with her work that I would have hired her to write for us at the Chronicle.
At the risk of implying that Brock hasn't brought anything new to SFist, I'd suggest that your fears that Brock is following some horrible new direction might be alleviated by actually familiarizing yourself with the site. Because the SFist you claim you used to know and love, the one where there were no links to Beth or drug jokes? That site never existed, except in your imagination.
Point taken, Even. I guess I did a better job of ignoring it before and now I just see it more, and more, and more. I'm glad you are happy and impressed with this writer, but I wouldn't be. Oh well, difference of opinion.
Fabulous. Pure fabulous.
Spots is fantastic. I stand firm on the pooping point, however.
