Dolores Park Puke-In Postponed

Tossing your cookies, or in this case pumpkin seeds ...

​Earth Day is supposed to be about celebrating our fair planet, not puking on it. That explains why locals are upset about what they say is a badly timed puke-in at Dolores Park this weekend.

We assume human bile is bad for vegetation, which might be one reason organizers of the event have opted to hold off on tossing their cookies all over the park until next weekend.

As Chicken John, the event organizer, notes:

"Many, many people have voiced complaints that the Puke-In that was scheduled this Saturday was oddly timed. So I've decided to reschedule it for the following week. You see, Earth Day is very important to people here in San Fransandiego, and people were downright offended by the timing."

So let's get this straight: People don't mind having dozens of people throwing up in the park, as long as it's not on, or near, Earth Day, which is today.

But don't worry. If you had planned to join this retchfest, there is still another chance to stick your finger down your throat and gag on April 30, when pukers will gather in the park. Get all the messy details on the "puke page" on Facebook.

Chicken John organized the puke-in to protest the Recreation and Parks Department's move to allow permits for food vendors in Dolores Park -- because privatization makes him sick.

"We will puke. We will persevere. We will win!!!!" he says.
