Santarchy Tori Amos at Paramount tonight Bizarre Bazaar this weekend Andrew Bird this weekend Prefuse 73 this weekend and Tool next weekPlus we're running a lewd X-Mas Gift Guide Wednesday called the "12 Dildos of Christmas". So you got that going for you, which is nice. And lastly, we raise a middle finger to all the commenters worldwide that made our Kings of Commenting so entertaining. I wish all the fiber-optic line in SF was emo, so it could cut itself. Then we'd be done with this shit once and for all. Ciao, David Downs Your Friday morning pre-party kicks off every Friday morning around 8 a.m. (unless we're vomiting that early). Send us your pics, videos, mp3s, events, and links if you want to be part of the party. If not, that's your bad.) "Communist Party" Photo Courtesy of Threadless
Oh my god. So awesome: Mystery Meat Macrophotography! Prepare to question your love for processed meats. It should be noted that the photographer behind this slideshow, Mike Adams, editor of NewsTarget, clearly has an agenda to gross out carnivores. No matter. Perhaps he underestimates my undying love and devotion to meat, no matter the occasional glob of unidentified matter. (via The Grinder)

San Francisco-based bottled water company Soma Beverage has voluntarily recalled 16.9-ounce bottles of its Metromint mint-flavored water (sounds kind of nasty, no?) due to possible Bacillus cereus contamination, which can cause all sorts of bad butt flow. The company says all of their flavors, including peppermint, spearmint, orangemint, lemonmint, are being recalled. The suspect bottles -- which were only sold online, not in local stores -- can be ID'd by a "Best Before" date of Dec. 21, 2008 or earlier.
