You know you are in San Francisco when... (title-says-it-all alert

You know you are in San Francisco when...

Your co-worker tells you they have eight body piercings - and none are visible. When someone says "tenderloin" - you don't think steak. You think danger. You make well over $100,000 and you still can't find a nice place to live. You think anyone who drives a car to work is decadent. You keep a list of companies to boycott. Your plumber is gay and your barber/beautitian is straight. You would never dream of crossing a picket line. You take the bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English. You realize there are far more Rainbow flags in the city than California State Flags. You think anyone wearing a George Clooney haircut is visiting from the Midwest. You can't remember... Is pot still illegal? You go to your office manager's baby shower - the parent's are named Judy and Becky. You give a "thumbs up" gesture to a car with a "Free Tibet" bumper sticker - and you mean it. You have a very strong opinion where your coffee beans are grown, and are willing to fight about it. A really great parking spot can move you to tears. You know that anyone wearing shorts in June is just visiting from Ohio. A man walks on MUNI in full leather regalia and crotch less chaps. You don't notice. You still can't believe a company doesn't offer domestic partner benefits. You curse those damn tourists - but always stop to help a cute guy or gal who is looking puzzled at a city map. When you drive under an underpass - for one moment you think "earthquake". Your boss runs in "The Bay to Breakers"... it's the first time you have seen him nude. Your child's 3rd grade teacher has a nose ring and is named "Breeze". You haven't been to Fisherman's Wharf since the first month you moved to the bay. You are thinking of taking an adult ed class - but you can't decide between a Yoga, Channeling or Building Your Web Site class. You realize the only Republicans you know are your Aunt and Uncle in Texas.

...when your church elects a new Bishop who abandoned his family and two young daughters to fulfill his sexual urges with another man.

Oh, wait. That was New Hampshire. Sorry. Never mind.

Yes, folks, it is all true, and more. It is a really bizarre place cultrally , "spiritually" and politically. Please remember, there ARE FReepers living around SF.

Don't remind me... I've met Gene Robinson, the new bishop of NH. He used to be a visitng priest at St. Bartholomew's, on the island of St. Barths, until the Bishop of Antigua found out that he was openly homosexual.
