Imagine our surprise when we finally stopped partying woke up this morning to find ourselves quoted by the legendary Matier & Ross in The Chronicle! And – surprise! – we were made to sound completely irresponsible. ...

It's not like we're short (ha! You'll see why that's funny in a minute) on Bay to Breakers coverage -- in fact, we've spent most of the last few days hunched over our laptops comparing various runners' physiques to our own. Shut up. it is SO a competition. Anyway, as we were looking over one of our favorite photosets at SF Mike's, it struck us: where are all the uncut guys?...

Here they are: images fro this past weekend's Bay To Breakers--the race the SFPD doesn't want you to know about! Also, there are a few NSFW images in here, so... you've been warned. Steve Rhodes......

SFist intercepted this email sent out today by SFPD Park Station Captain Teri Barrett. Teri, it seems, has an estranged relationship with the merriment for which San Francisco is/used to be famous. Leisure World we are not. Check it: Teresa Barrett/SFPD/SFGO To: Park Station SFPD/SFPD/SFGOV@SFGOV [Date:] 05/20/08 [Time:] 11:21 Subject: Bay to Breakers 2008 I am trying to document how out of control the Bay to Breakers was this year. Drunks everywhere, people urinating......

There sure were a lot of passengers along the 21 route yesterday -- right next to the race, boy, it sure was busy. Think of how many fares they must've collected! Or would have, if they weren't sending out broken fare boxes along one of the busiest routes of the day. Whoops. Bus 5528 was a free ride for anyone lucky enough to catch it; and out guess is that lots of folks got lucky......

Photo by Jiim Herd While so much is said about the zaniness that is the Bay To Breakers race, so little gets mentioned of the winners of the race famous for its nude runners. John Kipsang Korir, a 32-year-old Kenyan runner, won the in Men's Elite category, Lineth Chepkurui, a 20-year-old Kenyan runner NOT pictured above, won in the Women's Elite category. Both of the winners were born in Bomet. So... there you have......

It's going to be a busy, warm, and wily weekend. First, the Asian Heritage Street Festival, which takes place on Saturday, May 17 from 11:00AM to 6:00AM, around Japantown will result in the following closures from 3:00AM. to 10:00PM: * Post Street from Fillmore Street to Laguna Street * Webster Street from Sutter Street to d."Geary Boulevard * Intersection of Webster and Post What's more, the 2-Clement, 3-Jackson, and 22-Fillmore lines "may be affected."......

By Joe Kukura Our Bay to Breakers coverage – which kicked off this morning in a post so drunk and confused it had to be deleted – continues without shame as we direct you to this handy Bay to Breakers Liquor Store Locator. Many of you know how long sections of this race course are painfully lacking in places to buy additional smokes and booze for your continued "running." But with knowledge of a......

There's never a good time to visit the emergency room, but being forced to do so on the same day as Bay to Breakers would definitely be an even bigger bummer. We thought our fianceé Daniel Phifer would be avoiding the whole mess altogether when he ventured over to Berkeley on Sunday morning to engage in some very adult activities. Unfortunately, he returned to San Francisco a few hours later with a shattered wrist (he should've attended the Safety Day in March!) and a visit to the Kaiser emergency room that inconveniently coincided with the winding down of SF's annual drunken marathon—well, one of them, at least. Here's the account told last night through Daniel's itchy, Percocet-induced haze, as he awaits surgery in the morning (they're putting a high-tech plate in his wrist that will get him well on the road to recovery in a couple of weeks):...

LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA......

In all honesty, we can't call ourselves the biggest soccer-phile out there. We don't really follow the sport when it's not the World Cup, although we do occasionally pay somewhat attention to what's going on in the World of Futbol. Still, we’ve always rooted for soccer to become big here in the States. We played it as children, played it again as adults, and love the sport and the passion that it brings. Yesterday, we couldn't have been happier about how into the game everyone was. The day had a Big Event feel to it, like a Bay To Breakers or Superbowl Sunday vibe. It felt like half the city was either on their way to Dolores Park or to North Beach. So naturally, we went to Belden Place. Why not? We were rooting for les Bleus and the idea of being surrounded by people screaming "Sacre Bleu" or "Zizou!" with non-ironic French accents warmed the cockles of our heart. And we got what we wanted, other than a French victory, of course. The alley way was jam packed with people, we heard smattering of French and Italian everywhere, and we even got to hear people sing "La Marseillaise." If only it were WWII and in black & white, it would have been just like Casablanca. ...

Bummer! The organizers for this weekend's Bay To Breakers race have announced that it's banning "large quantities" of alcohol. Organizers assured participants that "It's OK if people want to bring a personal supply,” but kegs, big collections of bottles at checkpoints, and the running tiki bar are out. Organizers claim it has nothing to do with policing your life, it's just that the cops say that the drinking slows down the race and by gum,......

Remember when we told you guys about the Design The Bay To Breakers T-Shirt contest, and SFist Eve suggested a cartoon of Chris Daly throttling a naked runner? Well, we're all disappointed she didn't win -- BUT you can see the five finalists here and vote for your favorite! We picked the design at the left totally randomly -- the other four in contention are just as good! If you love the shirts so much you've just gotta run the race now, registration information is here. The race will be held on May 21. ...

While we've never run Bay to Breakers, we've run our share of road races and have the drawer of dorky, lame t-shirts to prove it. That's one of the reasons that though we're not even sure where our running shoes are, we're tempted to enter the Bay To Breakers t-shirt contest. All details are here, so take a look at them if you're interested. Then a "panel of judges will select five finalists, and past......
