Matt took a well deserved day off from ~~the monsters~~ work yesterday to hang out with me on my second to last day of unemployed freedom. Our day long adventure included lunch at the Pork Store, Skeeball at the Metreon, an informational walk about the Yerba Buena Gardens - including amusing security antidotes by thy Matt (he used to work there), Irish coffees at the Gold Dust (naturally), some light shopping around Union Square, a delicious Yo Yo Sushi dinner back in the Mission, and a few loads of laundry while having a drink with friends at one of our favorite bars, the Uptown.

An amusing moment from the day occurred at the Westfield mall. While climbing up 5 flights of escalators to see what was playing at the movie theater, Matt randomly asked me if shaving off all of his chest hair would make him look as ripped as one of the Hollister Mannequins. I glanced over at the store and was taken aback by one of the Hollister Mannequin's pants that were so low, the top of his “ahem” manhood was fully visible. I wasn't sure if this was the new trend or if the poor guy was merely suffering from an unfortunate bout of slippage, so we stopped off the floor to check it out. Anyway, I went up to the mannequin and gently tapped on the jeans to see if they were slipping, and much to the amusement of those around us, the jeans quickly fell down the legs and formed a pile around his ankles. I, horrified, turned various shades of red, grabbed Matt's hand and promptly walked away from the scene, leaving the somewhat anatomically correct mannequin fully exposed to every mall passer-byer. Matt suggested that I should make it my thing to walk around various shops, depants-ing mannequins in hopes of snagging the title, “Mysterious Depants-er Strikes Again - Scarring Children and Horrifying Parents!” amongst the SF Gate headlines... but I just outted myself here, so I’ll just stick to the accidental depants-ings, as per usual.

Anyway, here are some pics...
