San Francisco City Council Wants a Name Change

 

See the source image In an announcement today, the San Francisco City Council is asking the San Francisco Giants to rename their ballpark. Klepto Park is the proposed name change to honor the hardworking shoplifters in San Francisco.

Walgreen Park was suggested, but Walgreens’ future in San Francisco seems to be disappearing, as stores are closing due to theft losses. Safeway Park was in the running, but Safeway has cut back on its hours due to theft in San Francisco. This drew some criticism from council members. Council critics felt that limiting the hours for shoplifters that like to sleep late placed them at a looting disadvantage.

The city council also requested that after each stolen base, a special fireworks display be provided by the Giants, and the most prolific shoplifter in the city receive a lifetime pass to all Giants games.

It was suggested that during the offseason, the field could provide a temporary campground for the homeless.

    The name of the city itself nust change. “San Francisco” hearkens back to the Spanish Empire and Christianity. Can’t have that; not at all. It should be something more in line with the ambience of the modern day City by the Bay.

    Dookieville!

    I was tempted to shoplift a beer last time I went to a Giants game, but that would have put me over the $950 limit.

    As a short person, I am triggered by the name of the San Francisco Giants. I suggest that they be renamed the Dwarves, Midgets, or Little Tiny Fellows. Or even better, the Nonbinary Intersectional Oppressed Beings. Go NIOBs!

    I would submit that Trojan Park would be a fitting name for Sodom by the Sea.

    Those people at Kool-Aid must have pulled their hair out when the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” was coined. But I have it on good authority that the notorious communist, and cheapskate, Jim Jones gave them poisoned Flavor-Aid, the Hydrox of soft drink mixes.
