Via the editor's inbox, we received the following setup: How hot is it? Wakka wakka. Shoot.......

First, it's gorgeous outside today. If you're stuck at work today, then, well, we feel your pain. Second, we just received this pressing question in our inbox: Help! How do i call in sick even though i'm not? i'm bad at lying. Well, we cannot condone readers leaving work for reason of frivolity since that might mean a dip in traffic. But can you, dear readers, help this person out? Do you flatout lie?......

Gosh, trivia nights are swell. From Edinburgh Castle's critically-lauded Tuesday "Castle Quiz" night to Mad Dog in the Fog's lower Haight trivia night, we love 'em all. But a concerned trivia buff writes to SFist to ask:...

We received a curt Oscar-related message this morning: Um, how the did No Country for Old Men win best picture? Not sure. But if we had to pick our favorite lots-of-dust-and-blood film of the year, it would go to There Will Be Blood. But we (sort of) enjoyed the -- how do we say this delicately? -- East Coast-friendly Coen Brothers film. Are we missing something? Did it not deserve its crowning of best......

Sigh. A reader writes in to ask? What's the deal with the Guardian going up against the SF Weekly in court? For a multitude of reason, we're not personally touching this lawsuit. (The main reasons being it's confusing, plodding, doesn't involve Barron Hilton.) But seriously, readers, why are mommy and daddy fighting?......

Let's get right to the question for it is most pressing, shall we? An SFist reader asks: When should you give up your college email address? I see this from friends who graduated years ago, and it's annoying. Agreed. While not on par with the war in Iraq or the under-salting of dishes, people who insist on keeping their alma mater's email address, ones usually containing a prestigious suffix, should give them up, say,......

(Ew. Not like that.) OK, guys. We're at the end of yet another stereotypically zany year in the Bay Area. A surprisingly boring election, some guy named Ed Jew, bickering weeklies, horny blasphemers, big-cat attacks, and one bizarre Halloween cancellation have proved 2007 to be, well, yet another year in Baghdad By the Bay. And we loved it. Tell us, just who in the Bay Area needed their screw tightened the most? We only......

Last night at a downtown bar, we eavesdropped on a heated debate about the Bonds' indictment. The all-male group of self-proclaimed Bonds-haters argued loudly about whether or not sports should simply start allowing athletes to get as chemically enhanced as they wanna be, health risks be damned. The main pro-roids (pro-drug?) point was this: seeing as how athletes already push themselves to physical extremes, shouldn't synthetic enhancers also count? Since it also deals with......

Cover your eyes fellow progressives. We're about to get even faggier. A reader would like your help: Can you recommend any popular blogs in San Francisco with a queer voice? thanks, [presumed homosexual's name withheld] Well, we can't recommend any "popular" Bay Area blogs laced with shrieking voices. And all gay writers think that they're popular. (Alleged popularity is the life-blood of homosexuals and local politics.) We love Gayface, but he never updates these......

A reader asked: "Hey guys I was wondering what is the best gym to go workout at in San Francisco? Which offers the best amenities and a friendly staff? What gym should I avoid at all cost?" We think he may have left off a word, but that's okay, we get the idea. Much as with our search for a good Italian joint for a reader the other day, we'll offer one quick opinion then open it up to the brain trust of our readership, who probably a hell of a lot more about this than we do....

Since we barely digest our own food, much less eat in public for fear people might find us shoveling heaps of it into our mouths, maybe you, dear readers, can help this rookie San Franciscan find a place to take the parents out? He or she is looking for a tasty, semi-semi-formal, non-Stinking Rose-y, yet inexpensive Italian place, and we can't seem to be of any help. What about you? -----Original Message----- On 8/10/07,......
