The God-fearing folks at San Francisco's St. Michael's Korean Catholic Church have more to fear this week: bell thievery. Over the weekend, it seems, someone stole their massive, church bell that weighs between 400 to 600 pounds. How rude.

Dore Alley Fair Photos -- Uhh, Yeah... They're, Like, COMPLETELY Safe For Work
Yesterday's Up Your Alley Fair is what the Folsom Street Fair used to be before all the tourists pushing baby strollers started showing up. More than 8,000 leather daddies -- and as many as perhaps a dozen biological women -- braved the cold fog wearing little more than a gimp mask and a smile to benefit PAWS, the AIDS Emergency Fund, and others. We tried to limit the amount of naked penis visible in these shots, but in that kind of environment there's only so much a photographer can do. The fully-lubed, unexpurgated photoset can be can be found at DJTennessee's flickr page, as well as a few over at Nature abhors a vacuum.
And So It Begins

We're just that cool. Or bitter. Or both.
