Brock invented irony (though none was displayed in the above post) and as for cynicism, would he really have declared his anti-allegiance to white machines? He's a believer in something besides making it grow and making it release it would appear. Since I don't actually care about the content on the post, I've chosen instead to comment on the sycophants in the comments. Apparently Team Brock rules, Team Brock Sucks drools.

only crafty teenagers and guests on dr. phil get away with shoplifting. i would get caught if i ever tried it. i ditched school ONCE in high school and got caught. also, kay, i'm glad you're still reading and writing comments here at sfist. look at you making me get all emotional!

Since moving out of Potrero Hill, I've been missing out on shoplifting lessons I used to learn from folks riding in the back of the #15 bus. Thanks for kindling that warm feeling with these tips.

Brock, I stopped my anti-Brockness when I realized you do not mean to be serious in most things you say. It made you more enjoyable.

As I was reading this post, I was thinking man Brock's kinda ironic and cynical -- almost, dare I say it, New York -- will people get it? And the answer of course is, "no." Good on you Kay and Notorious for keeping up California's reputation as the Land without Irony. And (bonus!) someone mentioned karma! And here I was missing California...

Not at all. I like Feist. But did you hear her on SNL the other night? I couldn't understand a word coming out of her mouth. (Also, I still watch SNL, so I'm clearly the old one.)

Worked in many apple stores. No need to worry about opening day if you want to steal from them. They have no alarms the security can't ask for your receipt or check your bags. Many high ends stores operate like that these days, but I've never stolen from one because I couldn't live with the karma of knowing the employees who work too hard, get paid too little, and treated like shit by crappy managment will be blamed for it. Just so 'ya know...

Providing tips on shoplifting and examples of successful executions of such tips is hardly a joke. It's advocating theft. Let's not call oranges apples. Not that anyone really pays attention to our esteemed editor when he says such things, but that's a whole other matter.

word was this store was due to open a while ago but some issues with the building delayed the final opening to now. Apple is remodeling all the stores and has finished most of them in the Bay Area to make them better for customers.

Yes, because a joke about shoplifting is proof of douchbaggery in a way that expressing a desire that someone experience vehicular injury could never, ever be.

Notorious, I printed out your comment and tacked it to put wall. I heart you! Thanks.

Are you seriously advocating people steal from the Apple store? Are you fucking insane? I knew you were an asshole, Brock, but this proves you are truly a douchebag. I hope someone runs you down with their car.

Gorgeous dreamy genius gay icon Rufus Wainwright performed for the opening (sort of) of the flagship store on Stockton. It was fabulous!

It's not gonna happen, but if they actually had a live band, it could actually be cool. At least one of the iPod commercials features a local band, Honeycut, playing "Exodus Honey". That's not even their best song by far, but Bart Davenport and Company are pretty good as a live act (I saw them open for Von Iva at 12 Galaxies a couple of months ago at the latter's CD release party).
