<p>Jerry James Stone snapped this image while frolicking in San Francisco's Historic Tenderloin District last night. This sign, it seems, is supposed to keep rapscallions from smashing the vehicle's windows. How very depressing.<br>

<p>In some sort of retro-angry political statement that means nothing really but is highly amusing, <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2009/07/whats-written-on-bernal-mountain-this-morning.php">this message appeared at the top of Bernal hill this morning</a>. What does it mean? Well, it is in reference to freeing those "militant" cop killers from the 1970s, the ones the majority of the SF Board of Supervisors would like Attorney General Jerry Brown (and possible future Governor of California) Jerry Brown to pardon. (You can read more about that <a href="http://sfappeal.com/news/2009/06/this-is-what-a-room-full-of-pissed-off-cops-looks-like.php">here</a>.) However, the signage would be even fucking deeper man if they removed the "S." Because: heavy. That said, we would LOVE to see more signs like this placed on the hills of San Francisco. Get cracking, residents. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, Muni, is There Nothing You Can't Break?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Borked sign spotted at Civic Center.

<p>Don't skate!</p>

<p>Don't scoot!</p>

<p>Don't walk! (transitive)</p>

<p>Don't play!</p>

<p>Don't pluck!</p>

<p>Don't trample!</p>

<p>Don't feed! (transitive)</p>

<p>All that adds up to "DON'T LIVE!" according to at least one vandal. The rules at the <a href="http://www.sfbotanicalgarden.org/">San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum</a> are not unreasonable. However, their new-school international-style signs are a little different. These stacked up figures <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/smohundro/223129465/">strike some as funny</a>. </p>

<p>Obviously somebody has made an effort to avoid using too much American English, that non-inclusive <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_in_the_United_States#Official_language_status">sole official language of California</a>. But be sure to check out the arboretum when you can. It's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=strybing&amp;w=all&amp;s=int" http:="">very pleasant</a> with many <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chuey821/232263404/">interesting things</a>. Just <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60232811@N00/154553302/">be nice</a> when you visit. <br>
