Gothamist learned about the craziest urban nightmare come true: A huge python found in the bathroom pipes. It was also a nightmare for some Yankees fans, as manger Joe Torre declined to come back and manage the Bronx Bombers. At least the city's attempt to give some direction to subway riders was interesting, pranksters went shirtless at the Fifth Avenue Abercrombie & Fitch and the I Heart Brooklyn Girls calendars came out. And just......

After getting heat from the Catholic Church and death-by-fiery-car-crash-worthy Bill O'Reilly, Archbishop George Niederauer officially apologized for giving communion to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. This is insane. Gay bars have been serving daiquiris to and sparing flaky bumps to closeted priests and assorted Catholics for years. And yet, a few gays can't come to their house of worship for a little body of Christ and some merlot? Such hypocrisy we'll never understand.......

Looks like we're in a heapin' load of trouble as those who like to get outraged at us are outraged again. Or, at least something the Archbishop of San Francisco did. Last weekend, while conducting mass, the Archbishop was giving communion when up came two people "wearing bizarre makeup and costumes, including one dressed in a parody of a nun's habit." Hmm…couldn’t that also describe the Pope? Anyways, the "offenders" in question, of course, were members of the Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. So Archbishop George Niederauer gave them communion. ...

Remember that couple we told you about that was stealing stuff from open houses? They got busted by the OnStar in their rental Hummer. Police won't reveal where they were, except to say they were "out of state." DA Kamala Harris went to the Board of Supes to ask for more money to fight misdemeanor crimes (usually your smaller quality-of-life ones). The SF DA's office only has nine attorneys handling misdemeanors, and they've got an......

One of San Francisco's great traditions is the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Easter Party in Dolores Park. The highlight of the event is a Hunky Jesus contest and thanks to SFist reader Joe, we have some pictures of the winners and other contestants. The picture above is the winner of the contest, Hunky Jesus. If you want to see more photos of the event, you can check out Joe's photos here.......

We get a lot of e-mails about various events for good causes and most of them we'll list in our events posts but some of them, the one's that look really fun, we'll do a big post on. This one is definately deserving of a big post-- Dine Around. The basic gist of which is that if you eat at a selected restaurants in the Castro, Noe Valley, Mission, Potrero Hill, and Soma-- in other words, prime eating areas-- Wednesday night, money will be raised for the Aids Emergency Fund (AEF) and the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund (BCEF). And there's some great restaurants listed too like Foreign Cinema and la Mediterranee and Firefly and, well, just check out the list yourself. A raffle will also be held to help raise money. How could this not be a great thing as for the most part, all you need to do to support something is eat. We like eating. ...

A bingo benefit to be held this Thursday night was cancelled because the church it was to be held at didn't like the idea of nuns in drag. What? That's a problem? The church, the Most Holy Redeemer Church, was all set to host the thing but, realizing it involved the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, ixnayed it. ...

You've got to wonder what it's like to be an old-school religious type in San Francisco, especially when the old-school religion in question condemns practicing homosexuals. (No, we're not talking about Falun Gong.) San Franciscans are a tough crowd to whom to preach chastity, abstinence, and temperance. While a protest against us by the venerable Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence might make for a stall in the average San Franciscan's career path, dealing with we......

duftylg.jpg Well, we still don't know what he's listening to on his portable music player, but ouuu-ouuu-ouuu-OUUUUUUUU!! Supervisor Bevan Dufty's modeling in his skivvies for the AIDS Legal Referral Panel! The ALRP's holding its second annual Legal Briefs II: An Underwear Fashion Show and Extravaganza benefit event next Thursday at the BGLT Center. Dufty, who's also the honorary chair of the event, will be sharing the stage with the pornstars Titan Men (probably NSFW -- since we're at W right now, we're certainly not going to check that out for you), the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a former Mr. San Francisco Leather, and City Attorney spokesperson Matt Dorsey. It's a suggested donation of $25 in advance and $30 at the door -- but really, how much is too much to ask for, for the privilege of seeing Dufty in his tighties? Yeow! Wanna be awesome like our super secret sources for this tidbit? Pass along your hott news!...
