A plague of Elvises run the Bay
to Breakers. Anne Chen/Courier Photo By Anne Chen, Courier Editor-in-Chief
The largest, anything-goes, foot-race marathon known as the notorious Bay to Breakers took place on the third Sunday of this May. More than 60,000 runners, spectators and rather oddly dressed people gathered around San Francisco to run 12 kilometers through the tortilla-littered streets. The Bay to Breakers has been an annual pride for the city since 1912 and holds the Guinness World record for the highest participant footrace in the world.

I’ve just sat down after seeing my friend Jordan for the first time since he was diagnosed with leukemia almost a month ago.
He’s walking with a cane, his hair is short and falling out, his face is a little swollen, and there are chemotherapy ports hanging from his arm.
Jordan is one of the best people that I know. He’s a senior, a mostly A-student, he played for the baseball team, he goes to auto repair ROP, he got accepted to the Universal Technical Institute in Sacramento. He’s got over 200 hours of community service, not for any kind of credit, but because he loves to help out in his community. He’s respectful, charming, generous, caring, and has the noble spirit that you only find in the princes of fairy tales.

NORFOLK, Va. — Mothers have been portrayed in many ways, but rarely with pistons and overhead valves.
Pretend, for a moment, that it's September 1965 and you've tune to NBC for a night of TV viewing. It's 7:30 p.m.
Time for "My Mother, The Car," voted the second-worst TV show of all time by TV Guide in 2002. ("The Jerry Springer Show" garnered the top spot.)
Watch a clip from the show, with the theme song, free from youtube.com.
