Posted by on May 11, 2013

December 2011, late-July 2012, August 2012, and September 2012 broke records for dry stretches. Downtown Seattle went roughly 100 days without seeing so much as a drop of rain. ...

You rallied. You begged. Washington basketball fans have been shitting David Stern’s semen for the last 4 years, and when it came time to man up, extend a middle finger, and...

McCready & Friends

May 13, 2013

Mike McCready once ruined a friendship of mine. This was a shame, because the friend in question was an interesting guy. He wrote a book about his experiences teaching in inner-city LA high schools, worked as a writer/producer on several television shows, and he even won the game show Jeopardy several times in a row. On most Sundays, he and I would grab...

Seattle’s New Climate?

May 11, 2013

December 2011, late-July 2012, August 2012, and September 2012 broke records for dry stretches. Downtown Seattle went roughly 100 days without seeing so much as a drop of rain. In many King County locales, records were broken. January 2013 had a near-record stretch of dryness, followed by an overcast … yet notably dry February 2013. March was...

May Day 2013

Last Monday, I was speaking with someone about the upcoming May Day festivities. “Seattle doesn’t have riots”, I told him, “we have hissy fits.” Shortly before the protests started, I explained to another person, “Seattle riots are different than most. Here, there’ll be 100 white guys with $5,000 cameras trying to make...

You rallied. You begged. Washington basketball fans have been shitting David Stern’s semen for the last 4 years, and when it came time to man up, extend a middle finger, and send that asshole packing, what did you all do? You got down on your hands and knees like a bunch of little bitches and took a load right in the face. Pow! Right in the kisser! So,...

The Most Rational Man In Seattle?

Apr 27, 2013

After watching the above video, you may come to the conclusion that the answer is “yes”. This is where we are as a society folks.  A point where the guy in a superhero costume officially makes more rational, logical sense than does the Mayor, the Chief of Police, and every bobble-headed human teleprompter on every “news” station in...

They All Come Around … Eventually

They All Come Around … Eventually

Apr 26, 2013

I have a well-established track record of staking out wildly-unpopular-at-the-time positions, which, sometimes years later … become far more popular positions. When I first started “blogging”, I took a lot of flak for using four-letter words. I was called classless, compared to trailer trash, and people rushed to distance themselves from me. ...

“Hey, with the check my dad sent me, let’s open up an eatery in one of Seattle’s main tourist attractions, then get all shitty about people with cameras.” “Sure.  My mom says I should be a model anyway, and that people should charge for pictures of me.” “Cool, my mom says I’m special too.” “Wanna get...

A Dream Come True For Pioneer Square

Apr 14, 2013

In what can only be described as a stunning victory for panhandlers city-wide, cheap food and alcohol will soon be made available at the corner of First and Cherry. While this will be convenient, the fact that said venue will be directly across the street from two tourist attractions is what makes this a true stroke of genius. “Uh, excuse me, could you...
