Free Baby Fish!

jones — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:44:09 GMT

Come and get em! Our darling convict cichlids had some babies and they're growing up really fast. Our tank can't hold all 20 or so of em so I'm trying to find them a new home before I take them to the pet store. These are VERY aggressive fish. While it's very entertaining to watch these guys fight amongst each other all day, they will most likely slaughter any other fish you might have in your tank once they are fully grown. Let me know if you want some new fish for your household.

Gooferman Day- April 1st

jones — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:20:49 GMT

Once upon a time, San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsome -- for reasons that will remain mysterious, supersecret, and closely guarded -- decided to proclaim April 1 as Gooferman Day…for reals -- the pudding: www.pixievisionproductions.com/ga...all www.sharlenes.com/TheGoofball/index.html Owning April 1 is a lot of responsibility, and we klowns naturally don't get along too swimmingly with responsibility. If we did, we'd be lion tamers or elephant-poop scoopers…or fools. Nope. Instead, we take opportunities such as these to self-medicate and otherwise debauch, and we beseech you to once again go down that dirty boulevard with us next week: Tuesday, April 1, 2008, 9pm-2am Annie's Social Club 917 Folsom St. San Francisco, CA 94107 415-974-1585 $7, 21+, circus/carney attire more than recommended Our pal's, the phenomenal Forrest Day (www.myspace.com/forrestday), will open this particular can of shindiggered worms at 9:30; we're on at 10:30; and the inimitable DJ Soulsalaam (www.soulsalaam.com) will take us 'til the break of dawn or the end of the night, whichever comes first. And, of course, various and sundry of our beloved circus comrades will be helping the cause along all the way to the asylum. Along with some new tunes, we'll be debuting our new line of GooferGear merch -– our '3P' 3-song CD and Gooferman-branded t-shirts, g-strings, prayer candles, and (drum roll, please) a limited-edition, commemorative, April-1-starting Gooferman calendar featuring the photographic talents of two of our own, Eric Gillet and Becca Henry. Look for the complete line of GooferGear in the GooferBooth. C'mon now, honk it! GOOFERMAN www.gooferman.com

Sad Truck is Saaaaaaaaad!

jones — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:29:41 GMT

Willing to pay for mechanic services! Just got my 2000 Toyota Tacoma out of the shop and automechanicguy says that #2 cylinder isn't firing. Only 45 psi instead of 120 to 160. It will cost me minimum $1,600 to have him rebuild the top of my head gasket. I have a very reputable mechanic and he's never done me wrong, but this is just a little steep for me. I cannot drive far out of Bay Area as I'm only running 3 cylinders right now. Fourth is unplugged not to wear on the catalytic converter. Can you do this for less or do you know someone who can? Do you need some $? Please contact me!

Circus REdickuless tonight @ 12 Galaxies

jones — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:07:43 GMT

Pre-Event cocktails at my place at 8:00. We'll take off shortly after 9:00 and walk over. 1138 Treat Ave. @ 24th St. )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( )'( Circus REdickuless Dammit Dog is turning 18 years old. And still can kinda do her act. Kinda. The Circus REdickuless toured this nation from 1994-1999. 30 punk rock clowns with little or no talent traveling around and doing a show that featured 'no content' as the content. Now it's 14 years later. And the star of the show, a Queensland Heeler, is having a momentous birthday. Join us for mirth and merriment as many of the original cast (mostly from LA) come to delight you with a show that defies success. A show that other performers can not steal. A show that simply stated, leaves everything to be desired. DO NOT SETTLE FOR EXPENSIVE IMMITATIONS!!!! The Circus REdickuless is an idea. You've likely seen it manifest in a variety of other shows that come from the seemingly endless fountain of energy that is San Francisco's own beloved Chicken John. Yes, I'm writing in the 3rd person. You noticed. Good for you. Back to ideas: the idea of the circus was to make it look like a regular show, and put all the components together... and indeed make it entertaining. But to leave out the actual skill. Work around it. Use attitude, enthusiasm and spry wit instead of years of training. To this end, we were able to quite literally allow anyone to join. And perform. You didn't need to be able to do anything. And what you didn't do you didn't even have to do it very well. If at all! We even have a few acts that aren't done, and not doing an act that you can't do is still actually doing something when you think about it... and who wants to see you do an act that you can't do anyway? So it's actually BETTER than all the other circus's that you've seen as we don't do what we can't do and what we do do doesn't get done in any way you've ever seen it done before. You see, we can't do much. But what we don't do nobody can do like we don't do. Nobody doesn't do it like we don't! Nobody!!! This evening of performance includes parts of the Boomerang! puppet show, the great Odeon All Star band (with Jascha Eiphram, Josh from the Extra Action Marching Band, Bruce XXX from Bomb, Jessica the accordian player, Mark Miller the steel guitar player, and some other guests), a bunch of great circus acts, some old amazing videos all hosted by Ringmonster Chicken John. The Circus Redickuless was a great thing. Come witness failure defeated, mutated into something that can be argued as a success that may or may not be amusing to watch. THRILL! To the unyielding SPEEDMETAL TAPDANCE CHILL! The bone chilling spectacle of the GREAT SILLOUETTO, shadow puppeteer SOUP!!! Chuckles the Chaos Klown and her dancing rats!!!!!! SPILL! Your drink, while whistling to Meagan, our supple REVERSE STRIPPER WEEP! Dr. Hal brings you the truth of the future with OUIGI RAIDO PUKE! Our VEGAN GEEK will bite the head off a lettuce GARGLE!

Looking for a new roommate!

Looking for a fourth roommate to complete our fantastic home. Zach has decided to scorn us roomies at 1138 and move in with his spanking partner.

Your Roommates: Me - Interior Design 8:30 to 5 M-F Professional who likes to spend a lot of his spare time working on art events around the city. Brendan - Part time web database developer/ Part time law student. Adam- Full time massage therapist. A cat would be welcome. I may get one anyway now that Zach's leather couch is gone.
