A public telephone
The IMDb biography of Lawrence Tierney really impresses me. Drunken brawling, tough-guy attitude on- and off-screen, and impressions of his throaty, growling voice make for an interesting write-up. Not to mention that he had the best line in Reservoir Dogs, and the last line in Hill Street Blues.
When he guest-starred on "Seinfeld" in "The Jacket" episode as Elaine's father, he scared the cast so badly that they never had him back on. "He stole a butcher knife from Jerry's TV kitchen & hid it under his jacket. When Seinfeld asked him about it, Tierney pulled out the knife & started making the 'Psycho' slashing-violins sound."

A walk through Looney Valley
While walking around the 24th St. area west of Church St., I saw a refreshingly anti-San Francisco storefront. The owner's hand-lettered -- or should I say hand-scrawled? -- posters reveal a fervent adherence to Republican principles. The decorations also included several vintage Reagan campaign posters, which led me to scour the internet for
memorabilia of one of the "
Founders of America". Not to mention the federally-sanctioned
mug.
There's something about the neologism 'insanitary' that especially appeals to me.
And, speaking of politics in San Francisco: earlier in the day I had the good fortune to see Frank Chu in the flesh, part of the Bay to Breakers festivity.
