Lesson #1: If you are going to propose to a girl on a street corner with a Cheerio (I know my hands are small, but that is a little overboard), you can not throw the box at her when she walks past and ignores you.

Fortunately, Cheerios don’t stain. Awkward, however, leaves a lasting mark. And there are few things more awkward than getting hit with a cardboard box in the middle of the Mission and then having to crunch over pieces of cereal as you walk away…head held high.

This city’s endless supply of crazy, you are Meccanized.
