The Embarcadero has seen a fair bit of controversy in recent years. There were tense negotiations over how much leeway the city would give the America's Cup race, a downright nasty political fight over the 8 Washington project, and now some residents are objecting to development plans for a new Golden State Warriors arena. But the waterfront will be gaining one tenant this year that we're pretty sure everyone will love, and that's the Exploratorium. More »

Did you know August is Anal Sex Month? That's right, while fisting gets a mere day, anal sex gets an entire, glorious month. Stand aside Asthma Awareness Month (or should we say bend over? Sorry!), it's time to take a ride on the Dirty Caboose.

Since it's August 3, we're behind (sorry) in breaking this breaking news to you. But (sorry) we felt we'd be remiss not to tell you about the unofficial San Francisco holiday that celebrates backdoor knocking.

We think about anal sex fairly often. Partially because our Smart phone always tries to autocorrect "texting" with "rectum," but also because this is San Francisco. We believe in fairness. And is there a more equal opportunity orifice than the asshole? We think not. We've also, (unfortunately?) seen some pretty strange anal sex toys in our time, and in the spirit of giving, we'd like to share our top six, all-time WTF toys.

But first, if you want to go deeper (we're not sorry about that one), then check out Good Vibes' handy how-to guide on anal pleasure.

Without further a doo-doo:

In honor of Father's Day yesterday, we dug up this cringe-worthy slide show on the 20 Worst Fathers in History. Among them is Pete Doherty (pictured above). The drug-addled sometime robber and occasional sexer-up of Kate Moss has, contrary to sound evolution, managed to breed twice. One kid he sees occasionally. The other he neither sees nor speaks of regularly. Says Doherty of the kid with whom he has no relationship: "Poor little fucker." From your crack-smoking lips to God's ears, Pete.

Find out who else made the cut in our handy slide show and be grateful you weren't sired by any of these men.

​It is always a little bit exciting and a little bit nerve-wracking to wake up to an e-mail from your editor. "Uh-oh, what have I said now?" is usually what runs through my mind. But luckily for me, this week it was a special assignment!! Oh yes, I'm moving up quick!!

"Oh, you want me to see The Hangover (pause) 2?" Hmm, was this e-mail meant for the sports guy? (Do we have a sports guy?) The beer blogger?"

No, in fact, it was meant for me. You see, it was brought to my attention that there may be some questionable rifts on the gay/trans community in the movie, and that my most colorful of takes on it would be greatly appreciated! Well if that wasn't all I needed to hear to now make me want to see it, and see what the fuss was all about (for free naturally, all in the name of research).

I did see the first Hangover (not in the theater, puhlease), and thought it was funny and entertaining. I didn't really notice anything too un-PC in it, but generally, I like lowbrow, dirty, vulgar comedy, so I was eager to see what the new installment of this brocom was all about. (Okay, my roommate gave me brocom, but I can't help thinking it sounds like a dude convention!)

All things considered, The Hangover 2 is pretty freaking hilarious (for free). It's dirty, it's crass, it's vulgar, and it's funny. (Remember, they're not discussing rocket science here.) There are obvious holes in the "plot" and everything gets wrapped up all nice, cute, and convenient in the end blah blah blah zzzzzzzz! Let's cut to the chase and get to the juicy bits, so to speak.
