"Valid metaphoric description of one's personal life. Also, a super annoying tag that I hate seeing around the city."

"A fight outside Delirium ended up in this guy getting knocked out."

"Not a rare sight to see this friend throw up. Drank too fast, too early."

"Lighting Christmas trees on fire is a regular occurrence post-Christmas in San Francisco. Christmas trees are almost always tossed to the sidewalk after Christmas, and they're almost always most likely to get tossed into the street and lit on fire."

"Somebody had a party in a bakery while their bosses were out of town, which ended up being so packed that people just spilled out into the street until the cops came and broke it up. This was that one lucky dude who got to talk shit to the cops."

"This was in the bathroom of a somewhat popular bar here. Shout out to the dude who (if) somehow managed to bone in the Delirium bathroom."

"The Flower shop - a DIY built park in the city."

"This is generally what the hallway of any skate house looks like in this city during a party."

"One of the city's local bums that is always wearing an orange life vest with a beer attached to the chest and usually a miner hat. But that day he decided to change it up with the Iron Man mask to match his Yankees beanie. He generally smells like shit and likes to think I'm the younger version of the guy on the zig-zag rolling papers."

"This car was parked outside my roommate's window and judging by the reaction of the dude whose car it was, it was a definitely a rough break-up."

"A friend from Dallas getting up on a DPT vehicle after getting way too drunk (with other friends from Dallas, mind you) to a University of Miami Documentary which includes former Dallas Cowboys in it. He pissed in the street right before this and threw the spray can at a car right after."

"As we were leaving this bar after playing some pool, a lady had warned us her dog was really fond of skateboards. The minute any of us even stepped on a board, that dog would just immediately chase after it and lock onto the board with its jaw. The dog's lockjaw was so hard it took two of us to finally pry it away from him. The dog had it locked to the point where once we did get it, the board had little blood splatters from it's mouth."

"The image of a man taking a very loud, gruntful shit on Mission Street at three in the morning."

"A couple getting down on a fence, which is ironically located around the corner from the kink.com building."
