Splat: Pie Fight Tonight
Screw the cardboard tube battle, this sounds like something that needs to happen every night.
This evening at 5 p.m. sharp, head on down to the tourist epicenter of San Francisco, the Powell Cable Car turnaround, for what will be a massive pie fight. According to Mr. Scott Beale over at Laughing Squid, SF0 player Herbie Hatman is organizing a formal-attire pie fight (think Mabel Normand, Keystone Cops) which will get all up in your face (and maybe an unsuspecting tourist or two.) And if we weren't such a bitch about getting out clothes dirty -- although, yes, we have two different kinds of cheese stains on our pants today -- we would go. But you should go. All of you.
Also, formal wear is encouraged and "shaving cream is much more pleasant than whipped cream," according to Hatman. Who knew?
To find out more, go here. And again, that's:

"yes, we have two different kinds of cheese stains on our pants today"
There is definitely a too-easy joke to be made there....
From the mass pillow fight to the cardboard tube free-for-all to this...awesome. I'm lovin' it.
Maybe SF needs to start some derivative of Fight Club ("Wacky Fight Club?")
At the Cable Car turnaround? Tourist epicenter? This can not end well.
I'm thinking something post-post-ironic - like dressing up as tourists and giving the zombies/pillow fighters/pie throwers a beating.
And then running them over with a hummer.
Shaving cream is much better than whipped cream? Umm, considering that some of that cream is going to end up in your mouth, I can't see how shaving cream would be more pleasant.
... probably because shaving cream will wash out from clothes easier (and be less sticky / disgusting). If the Keystone (err, San Francisco) cops haven't been notified ahead of time, I predict at least a few arrests.
Well that explains the scene I happened upon tonight.

GODDAMNIT. Shame on me for not checking SFist multiple times a day.
