An Answer To The Crushed Tomatoes Question
Out of a twinge of sympathy from our withered-up blogger heart, we've been trying to leave poor planning dept. chief John Rahaim's bed-burning boyfriend Lance Farber (mugshot) alone (we had a YouTube clip of a Midnight Oil song all cued up and ready to go for our post, and then we felt too bad to do it) -- but we will pass along the tidbit from yesterday's Matier and Ross column, which explains:
As for the mystery of why Farber also allegedly tossed crushed tomatoes on the [historic ceremonial fire] house's floors and walls?We're told he was drunk at the time and trying to make soup. He couldn't open the can of crushed tomatoes, so he punched a bunch of holes in it.
Then he got mad and tossed the can through the house, spraying crushed tomatoes all over the place.


What's the big deal? I have the same problem when I try to open a bag of potato chips.
I figured he was just looking for some of those lucrative 'cash tomatoes' that didn't make it to Dolores Park.
I think the Midnight Oil joke totally works, rita. I'd even go so far as to use a Farah Fawcett picture.
You left off the best part! Supposedly the can was a pull top!
