B. You are from here, so maybe you know the guy of whom I speak. I usually see him on the west side of 1st Ave., somewhere between Union and Seneca, most often right at corner of 1st and Seneca, where the 99 off ramp is.

When you are next in Seattle, stake out that area for a couple of days and you'll see him. He's the panhandler with a dog. go up and ask him if a boyishly good looking metrosexual drops him 5-10 once a week.

Oh the humanity indeed!

Nice use of mapquest. Someone could almost believe you've been to the city. Does Carl the crank dealer work that corner?
But please, anything west of Metropolitan Grill is too seedy for me. But next time I'm in the mood for crank and X, I'll see if you're buddy is working that corner.

Unlikely. She says hi, though.

Hunting for Bambi

July 16 — A paintball manufacturer and advocates for women are expressing outrage that a Las Vegas company claims to be charging men up to $10,000 to use the non-lethal but dangerous weapons to shoot naked women racing through the sagebrush. But a creator of the “Hunting for Bambi” game on Wednesday defended the enterprise as good, clean fun for “guys who thought they had done everything.”

Gee, at least there's safety...
“At first we just told our hunters ‘Don’t shoot them in the head,’” he said. “Now the hunters are prohibited from raising the gun barrel above the waist level and if he does, it’s game over and there are no refunds.”

There's also this:

"Krekelberg said the women — most of whom are showgirls — are paid inversely to the pain they experience — $1,000 if they get shot and $2,500 if they don’t — to give them added incentive to elude their armed pursuers. But the deck is clearly stacked in favor of the hunter — only two of the 20 or so have gone home without hitting a target, Krekelberg said. “They weren’t unhappy,” he said. “They still had a great time and met some beautiful women.”"

Meaningful conversations with a showgirl are probably pretty rare even under typical circumstances. I imagine that trying it at (paintball) gun point probably makes the exercise even more of a challenge.

What's "judge" got to do (got to do) with it? I believe Texas has concealed carry laws. So I could be packing heat in my purse. You might keep that in mind if we ever meet (in TX).

The honorable burger would have plenty to do with it. His presence would be the cause of the heat in your lovepurse.

Also, there is no reason for a sane able-bodied person to be a beggar. Get a fucking job. You are not above McDonalds.

Sane is the magic word. I read somewhere that many homeless people have mental health issues -- and this is supported by observation. In addition, quite a lot also have chemical dependency issues. Both of those are not conducive to holding a job.

Uhm, how about stripper or hooker? From the stories Slave has told me those traits would seem requisite in the sex trade.

If the strippers with whom all of you are so closely acquainted bear a striking resemblence to the homeless with mental health and/or substance abuse problems that I have seen, those billboards advertising the strip clubs should be exhibit A in a faurd suit against the clubs for false advertising.

The board could do a class action suit . . .

My all-time favorite is one guy at the end of the last street in Key West, who holds a small sign that just says "This IS my job."

First, though, we want an update on the FB Poker Standings.
Now, starting with Wednesday:

Oh wait -if you haven't seen Juniors, BB4 or Last Comic, then

American Juniors: The Taylor sisters are in. Now the real contest can begin. It's hard not to like Chauncey for next week. I think AJ and Danielle will round out the group, but it's very hard to say.

South Park Episode where Stan, Kyle and Eric pick a new best friend to replace Butters: One of the all time greats. The rose ceremonies are genius. How awesome a character is Jimmy? Very awesome.

Last Comic Standing: I'm told by my fiancee that Dat Phan ripped off big portions of his act from Margaret Cho. If that's true, I don't have much respect for him. Very very sad to see Dave Mordall go. I thought he did a great set and was spectacularly funny.

Big Brother 4: Scott and Amanda, we hardly knew ye. Very hard to guess what Jee's going to do as head of household. Scott certainly rates pretty high up in the pantehon of nutty reality show contestants. He brings to mind that wacky Peter guy who was the first one out of one of the Survivors (it saddens me that I can't remember if it was Africa or Marquesas or what). Apparently chair throwing gets a guy tossed. The awful live update feed boards are all abuzz with Dave and Amanda getting it on, like it's something unprecedented. Well apparently they never watch the Euro Big Brothers, or don't remember Will and Shannon from BB2. I wonder if this is going to be a tradition: the soon to be evicted houseguest gets to bang the person of their choice on their final night in the house? That'd be cool.

Osbournes: Another feud with the neighbors? I'd say that this show has jumped the shark, if that phrase wasn't so April 24th, 2001 at about 2:15 p.m.

Queer Eye for the Str8 Guy: Haven't seen it yet, but it's been Tivo'd.

Californians: Radiohead tickets for the Hollywood Bowl go on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m. PDT. The Internet Presale password is "Oxford." If you want to get them, go to the "look for tickets" icon on the ticketmaster site and start hitting the refresh button at about 9:58. Then type in that internet password QUICK, as well as completing all the other steps as fast as you can.

Sadly, I'll be on a flight. If anyone in Cali wants to volunteer to try to get seats for me, I wouldn't say no.

Str8.

where the response is serious to what was clearly a facetious, sarcastic and dry post make me wonder how many people at the office I have offended. You think everyone gets it, but some people are just too literal.

Aloha- I know you will say you got it, but str8 was being funny when he said he met a stripper who liked him originially. I believe that he was posting in the spirit of Sidd's post. See any number of SD reactions to a PLF post if you want to see the lack of getting it that I speak of.

If so, I'm happy for you (and a bit jealous)...

Just don't want you to end up being the deluded middle-aged guy going to the strip club by himself who thinks all the ladies like him for his charm. Don't be that guy.
