Not to be outdone by their wicked step-sister, UCLA, who all too tastefully/boringly galloped about in their panties on the streets of LA, UC Berkeley also had its traditional end-of-semester streak last week. But they did it in the raw. Hee. The Daily Clog's Christine Borden captured the free-spirited perversity on film. And then had it taken down by the mustache-twirling puritans over at by YouTube. (!) It seems that last week's footage was......

We would like to take a moment to thank this week's advertisers on SFist. Zipcar, for renting cars by the hour or by the day. SF Dish, where AMEX cardmembers can dish about restaurants. Stylized Sculpture, at the Asian Art Museum. Busted Tees, where they're selling three colors of the LED scrolling belt buckle.

We came back from taking down the recycling yesterday evening to find we had locked ourselves out of our apartment. "Noooo!!" [Insert Emo Darth Vader ballad here. Warning -- audio.] We dialed the apartment manager on the call-box but got his voice mail. Lucky for us, the manager, who wouldn't be back until 10:00, called our s.o., who wouldn't be back until 8:00, and our s.o. called our friend who lives a few blocks away.......

Hey, remember yesterday, when everyone at SFist chimed in on the "what to do when a homeless kid's dog bites your friend on the leg" question? We got quite a few interesting answers, and one suggestion that we get in touch with the good folks at San Francisco Animal Control to see what they suggest doing in those circumstances. Deb Campbell was kind enough to answer a few of our questions: What would Animal......

Have some of you tried commenting on one of our many fine posts today? Only to find yourselves unable to do so? With a cold, sterile error message being your only solace? Well, you're not alone. Please excuse the inconvenience. It's a Gothamist-wide problem, and will be fixed shortly. And please, gentle readers, forgive us. We know this is annoying, and we're simply sick about it. But we are working on fixing the problem......

Jesus Christ, this has sent us into a tailspin. While we can safely say that our biggest accomplishments in life thus far have been finding synonyms for the word "poop" and being able to thoroughly enjoy steak tartare, it seems that a few other driven, Type-A individuals have done more at our age. Much, much more. Behold what we should have done at this point on Earth: Amelia Earhart became the first woman to......

If you've noticed a gazillion error messages in SFist comments over the last few days, you're not alone -- our technology team way over in the far off of New York City is working to fix the problem as we speak, as it's affecting the entire -ist Network. We appreciate your patience while they implement a solution as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please don't repost your comments. Even if you do get......

Speaking of Joan Van Ark, what on earth? Oh honestly. What happened to her visage? The former "Knots Landing" thespian and awkwardly spinning "Night of a 100 Stars" model has unveiled a new, um, model of her face. Well then. Whatever. Her body, her choice, right? People should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want to their bodies, even if it's done in the name of vanity. But still -- yikes. Sent......

We picked up on this over at All Shook Down today. It seems that a San Francisco convenience store cashier (or practical-knee slapper actor) received neither credit nor pay for his appearance in Will Smith's Oscar-baiting tear jerker The Pursuit of Happyness (2006). In this Daily Show segment ripoff, he goes into detail about being chewed up by the big, bad Hollywood machine. Also, anyone forced to appear in a scene with Mr. Smith's......

We saw this last night. As far as we can tell, that monster branch just cracked right off from the tree above. What knocked it off? Unlike some places, we're not suffering from high winds right now. Whatever the cause, we're just glad we weren't in that crosswalk when it came down. Bonus question: where was this? SFist readers, this context-less nighttime photo might be the hardest "locate it" in SFist history...take a guess......

On October 23, 1958 (!), The Smurfs (AKA Les Schtroumpfs) were thrust upon an unsuspecting world. Here's to you, Peyo. Your creation proved annoying on Saturday mornings, delightful in cereal form, and judging by the tasteful image above, mildly erotic.......

Perhaps in the traumatic stage of denial, we forgot to bring you some old obit news. Vincent M. DeDomenico, who co-created Rice-A-Roni along with his brothers, died last Thursday at 92. We tasted the savory food product, but the pasta dish's jingle -- "...the San Francisco treat!" -- will live on as one of the most memorable San Francisco earworms of all time. And, of course, in all our hearts. RIP, dude.......

Hmm. Oakland resident John Barsamian, a chief warrant officer way back during the Second World War, is putting up for auction a globe he found at the Führer's bombed out home. "The globe [is] to expected to attract bids from $15,000 to $20,000 when it is auctioned Nov. 13 in San Francisco," so start saving your pennies, folks. What would one even do with such an item? Anyway, other Nazi forget-me-nots going up for......

Got a second? Good! Because we want to thank the advertisers on SFist this week: CNN.com, who has a surprising amount of video on their site (including one of a couple with sextuplets).

Servers aren't cheap, so we'd like to take a moment to thank the advertisers on SFist this week: Zipcar for letting those of us who don't have cars where we can rent them from without going to an airport. Cazadores for educating us about tequila - now we know more than just 'Sure, we'll take some tequila in a drink.'

By the time you read this, all the good booze will probably be gone, but it's still worth noting that the Cala Bell at the west end of Haight is having a ka-raaaaaaazy sale! All liquor 20% off! Miscellaneous grocery 10% off! Spices, for the love of God, 50% off! Lucky thing we're in a supermarket, because we're going to faint unless we can buy some paper bags to hyperventilate into! So we asked......
