Sounds like a normal SF day to me.

“In the Panhandle, there were only about 10 portable toilets set up for the 60,000 race participants. Desperate people, women as well as men, “were going anywhere and everywhere,” Cunnane said.”

I dunno, sounds like this could have been predicted...

That said, where can I get an “Average Joe’s Gym” uniform? I rather liked that movie.

We tried to get out in front of the problem

Probably not the best place to be.

"We tried to get out in front of the problem

Not the optimal place to be, you'd think...

Sounds like behind it would’ve been worse, though.

“”The media covers this as some kind of wonderful party, but at the end, there is a lot of crap and people urinating,” Dennis said.”

Heh, that could also be the Democrat Party he’s talking about.

"They were stumbling around, hammered," Dennis said. "Peeing. Women with their boobs hanging out.

Women. Hanging boobs. I can see why San Francisco would have a problem with that.

I ran it in 1982. That cured me of running for fun!

I ran in that race last year. It was fun. I am a semi-serious runner.

I remember there were people eating on the outside patio at Flippers cafe along the race route, while--separted by only a hedge--dozens of people were urinating just feet away from the folks enjoying breakfast.

What’s the problem? I mean, people have been peeing on SF for years.

I was going North on 280 Monday morning in the east bay. Truck load after truck load of porta potties, coming out of the city. Guess they had them hidden. Not ,their just slobs.

The mob did one thing: they tied up traffic. I entered the city from the East Bay on Sunday morning. Rather than a pleasant drive of 10-15 minutes on Van Ness and Davisadero, I had to detour for about an hour through Haight, etc, then north on Park Presidio, then east on California to reach church.

“Art Mann Presents” covered this for HDNet a couple of years ago.

Art commented that even he was overwhelmed with the amount of ‘man-ass’.
