If you get a chance take look at this skymall parody. I glanced through it at Books Inc. in the Castro. And laughed so hard my latte came out of my nose....more than once. And I am not someone quick to laugh out loud.

Thanks! So much for the generous feedback.

I agree the plant needs to be fuller...I am OK waiting for it to actually grow into the container.

I have had the plant since a single 4" clipping! Any chance someone can identify it for me? It literally has year-round, sticky, tiny red flower and is completely covered in sharp, narrow thorns.

On a side note... the original IKEA 'Docksta' table was from Craigslist ($20) and the pot was a street score in my Mission neighborhood.

I would love to be the tester for the Santoku.

I have owned the same Santoku knife for the last 25 years. I bought it as an exchange student while visiting japan with the last of my spending money. I can say that I had one before they became all the rage here in the states.

I should say I HAD the knife for 25 years. My nephew asked if he could borrow a knife to bring to a beach party. I said sure and motioned over to my junk drawer that had a few gift knives I used for such occasions. You guessed it... it was lost when he threw it away by accident while cleaning up in the dark.

To say the least I was devistated, but now I can laugh at the slim chances of him finding my prized knife that was kept in a small drawrer out of sight.

I would love the opportunity to see how a modern German knife compares to my high quallity japanese blade.

i buy this french butter (imported) that comes in a cute small red tin.

its available in all the asian markets here in san francisco

it reminds me of the butter i ate in spain at my grandmothers house, its pure butter but almost tastes like margarine avaialble in the states.

anyone else buy it?

I like that term..."cost sensitive".

I prefer it to what my girlfriend CURRENTLY calls me...

"%#$(@ * CHEAP!"

I have the fondest memories of blind testing products when I was growing up in suburban New Jersey.

I don't remember how/why my mom got this stuff, but for years my brothers and I would come home to find everything from cereal boxes, brillo pads to toothpaste with a plain white packaging labled A, B, C etc.

When the products were finished we would help my mother fill out the forms. Somewhere in the late 70's it came to an abrupt end.

I almost totally forgot about this family memory until reading this post. I plan to call my mom to ask her about this side business using my brothers and I as blind testers.

Please pick me so I can tell my mom that I am an an official tester of JIG-A-LOO!

I'm sorry, but that is possible the most pre·ten·tious request I could imagine.

Please post pictures of the souless apartment in question. Just curious which color Eames lounge and ottoman was chosen.

:D

After getting locked out on the weekend with literally no way of getting to my spare keys in my apartment or getting a set form my landlord...I said NEVER AGAIN!

I have one set hidden outside of my apartment, just in guess I realize while I am in the hood and....

And a full set at work, all the way on the other side of the city. Luckily, I work at a hospital with 24 hour access. Sure going all the way to work by muni/taxi is no fun but way better than calling a locksmith, waiting around forever and paying thru the nose.

Friends with copies works as well, but they never seem to be home when you need them.

And yes I have had to go back to work twice in 1 year hahaha.

PS. HERE IS A TIP: On the keys, I hide outside of my apartment, I write a fake address on them, on the outside chance someone finds them and has way too much time/motivation figure what door the key opens on my block.

Very nice SFGBB...
