After a slight delay caused our copy of the city's "most exclusive news magazine" to show up a couple days late, we now return to our regular monthly tradition. Without further ado, our favorite utterances from the (remarkably thin) June issue of the Nob Hill Gazette. Provided (mostly) without commentary and in no particular order. This month's themes: Craig Newmark the robot, Willie Brown the fashionista, nonsensical praise for the America's Cup, and Father's Day with the family. Observe:

  • "We strive to make the Nob Hill Gazette a shining reflection of the city: wealthy and eclectic, with a little bit of urban glitz." — Lois Lehrman's monthly Letter from the Publisher.

  • "Speaking of getting out and about—we know you love our high-society photos, especially since we are always the first magazine to publish them." — Lois Lehrman again, shedding some light on what magazines are still good for in the Internet age: party photos.

  • "Are you kidding me? Why would I go someplace where it’s too hot to wear clothing? I like to dress up!" — Willie Brown, discussing why he can't stand the heat in Val Reilly's "The Men of Summer" piece.

  • “A friend of mine said if you go down to the Peninsula wearing a tie, people think you are there to buy a company. So you don’t want to do that." — Local Attorney Bob Friese, also quoted in Val Reilly's "The Men of Summer" piece.

  • "Author, fundraiser, and driving force behind SF Jazz, Robert Mailer Anderson’s style is a bit like the leading men in the film noir genre he so admires... it’s always a look that he calls 'the Robert Mailer Anderson.' " — Val Reily describes Robert Mailer Anderson talking about himself.

  • "We can scarcely contain our glee at the prospect of watching sailboats racing on the Bay. You can keep your Kentucky Derby, your Olympic sprints, your NASCAR races—they pale next to the thrill of the America’s Cup championships" — Gerald Nachman's plea for us non-boaters to actually care about the America's Cup.

  • "I’m embarrassed to say that I was unaware of the existence of an America’s Cup World Series, which only goes to show how out of it I am, catamaran-wise." — Gerald Nachman, admitting in the very same column, that he has no idea what he's talking about.

  • "It’s time the city claimed a world sailing title. It has not been much fun living in the Bay Area without one." — Gerald Nachman again, who despite being a former Chronicle columnist and author of a book called Seriously Funny, has apparently never had fun in San Francisco.

  • "I’m disillusioned in the application of straightforward logic to human matters." — Craigslist Founder Craig Newmark, who is apparently a robot.

  • "You’re not a nerd." — Marla Zellerbach, speaking to Craig Newmark, who is a nerd.
