  2. May 6: Prostitute Schedule @ MBOT in San Francisco by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Like Las Vegas, San Francisco offers prostitution as a tourist attraction. If you want to buy some prostitution services (i.e., hand job, blow job, or full sexual intercourse), you need to merely walk through the doors of the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California.

    Check out the prostitute schedule for May 6, 2006 at the MBOT.

    The prostitute schedule is updated daily.

    The moral of the story - If you're going to file share, don't have a centralized network with windows only spyware laden clients.
