Hump This
Gear: Hlaska Oceanist Collection
At Hlaska; 2033 Fillmore St, at Pine; Fillmore; 415.440.1999
Hlaska's new maritime-inspired man sacks're cut from sturdy waxwear canvas, feature Italian leather accents and custom turn-lock metal closures, and range from the luxuriously jumbo Duffel in black, to the briefcase-shaped Large Messenger (with reinforced handle and straps), to the squarish Postal messenger in chocolate brown, which'll snugly fit a small laptop and/or a first class uzi.
Cop that fly gear at Hlaska.com
Eat: Bocanova
55 Webster St, Jack London Square; Oakland; 510.444.1622
From a MarketBar chef and his Chez Panisse-pedigreed wifey, Bocanova's a sizable pan-American eatery that's done up with sweet Mexi-colored rugs, plush earth-toned leather booths, and big ol' waterfront-spying windows. Hearty grub runs the gamut from wild shrimp ceviche and Wagyu beef tenderloin crudo, to Yucatan seafood stew, to Argentine sirloin steak, grilled to perfection and served Messi.

Literature: The Book of Beer Pong
Chronicle Books' 160 page, self-proclaimed "Official Guide to the Sport of Champions" breaks down everything from basic Pong etiquette, to brutal smack talkin' tactics, to how-tos for making your tourney the most epic, to "cutting-edge ball grips", though, as in real life, it's all about the cup.

Why Not: Schlomo's Banh Mi Cushman
Some dude who goes by the name of Schlomo Rabinowitz turned a meter maid trike into SF's next mobile food slinger, from whence he'll serve Banh Mis on baguette from Lee's (naturally), with mayo made from "uber yuppie eggs", and your choice of chicken/pork/pate, all of which he'll tuck inconspicuously beneath your windshield wiper, 'cause you're parked in a fed zone!
They're launching this week, but you'll have to get on their Twitter feed to find out exactly where/when
Sports: Hitler Finds Out About Michael Crabtree's Holdout
Der Fuhrer is not pleased to hear about Mr. Crabtree's lengthy holdout, and launches into a profanity-packed tirade about everything from Alex Smith sucking, to Candlestick being a "steaming pile of sh*t", to bygone days of Niner pride, stating, close to tears, "Eddie D...best owner ever". Let's just hope he doesn't catch wind of old Schlomo Rabinowitz...
Sorry, but this Adolf vid is straight up hilarious
