Although the T-Mobile store on Third and Market streets failed to make the list -- they're (allegedly) rampant fibbers over there, people! -- be sure to read Gridskipper's spot-on and delightful San Francisco Bad Service Board Game. They map out the top six as follows: 6. 24th Street Cheese Company ("woman behind the counter is the fucking cheese nazi") 5. Radio Shack on 16th and Potrero (In a city full of tech geeks, we......

One of the last times we went to the Bubble Lounge, we saw two hot women sitting on a certain former mayor's lap. Maybe it was the va-va-voom sexy red cushy sofas and seats, combined with the brick interiors, dim lighting and pulsing DJ beats?

Gavin "he's got game" Newsom, the original party co-chair, is now all like, "uhhh.... err.... I didn't know he'd voted yes on the bill when I agreed to host."

At the SFIFF’s super-special ritzy glamorous hoi-palloi Brad-Bird-Meet-And-Greet last week, Brad was surrounded by such a large gaggle of pleased society-types, you could’ve been forgiven for not realizing he was there at all. In fact, only a small number of the attendees seemed aware of him at all as they sipped wines, nibbled appetizers (the shrimp, it seemed, were popular), and enjoyed the dimly lit, and therefore swank, atmosphere of North Beach’s Bubble Lounge.......
