I have a chance to purchase a set of either preseason or season Seahawks tickets. This will be a birthday present for my husband, a giant Seahawks fan who has never been to a game. The preseason game is in a few weeks- guaranteed of having gorgeous weather. The season tickets are December 21- surely to be wet and cold. The preseason tickets would be only $40 cheaper.

Being football fans, which would you opt for?

Last night I dreamt that I found some bed sheets decorated with these characters...



...from your newest submission which caught me off guard and left me standing shocked & awed over your apparent art thievery which threw myself in a moral dilemma over to call you out on it or sit silently! **






**This, by no means, is to imply you stole anything as dreams are nothing but fragmented cloudy pieces of our subconscious that inspire band names such as REM and sub-par movies such as Science of Sleep which I saw last weekend.

What the heck has happened to Clay Aiken's head?



It appears he has caught some sort of Rocky Dennis Disease and it is frightening. I can imagine this head running at me with tiny legs jutting from the jaw and tiny arms coming out of the ears holding tiny knives in their tiny hands. He will kill while falsetto singing The Little Mermaid's "Under the Sea".


It ain't workin for me, dawg.

All weekend (aka Sunday) was spent shaping, sanding, & staining my car entry for the Thread Le Manss. Considering as last minute as it was, it turned out pretty neat.

BEHOLD!
The Boozer Cruizer:

Able to drunkenly swerve across the finish line by narrowly escaping any DUIs.

Detail of cop-out but wicked label:

Thanks to joeVW for designing one of my favorite shirts that I decided to feature here.

WHO WILL BE THE ONE WHO RACES AND SUBSEQUENTLY BEATS THE BOOZER CRUIZER?

WHO WILL SMACK THE BOOZER CRUIZER ON IT'S ASS WITH A BILLY CLUB?

WHO WILL FETCH ME A HOT CHOCOLATE WITH EXTRA WHIP CREAM FROM THE CORNER COFFEE SHOP?

Songs I should like since most red blooded Americans like but I don't like, yet still know all the words so I hatefully sing along:

Lean On Me by Bill Weathers

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler

Enter Sandman by Metallica

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen



Songs I should hate because, let's face it, they really are not good but I gleefully shamelessly enjoy singing along:

The entire Bee Gees catalog.



NOW YOU GO!

Here is a list, because I fucking love lists, of the embarrassing things I have encountered today:

1. MORNING- email from an ex asking if my friend, Chad, still tattoos because he & his redneck wife want to get WEDDING BAND TATTOOS.

This is a lose/lose situation. Chad will not be stoked if I send in my ex & his wife for WEDDING BAND TATTOOS, because they are WEDDING BAND TATTOOS and unless you are Pam & Tommy, WEDDING BAND TATTOOS are unacceptable. But I can't exactly tell my ex he is 155% retarded for wanting WEDDING BAND TATTOOS....wait, fuck yes I can! And I will!

I can't believe I dated a guy who now wants WEDDING BAND TATTOOS.

2. AFTERNOON- Occasionally at work, the fashionistas upstairs will need dudes within the office to try on sample clothes. So it's nothing new going up there and seeing a guy standing in the middle of a fashion designer huddle wearing nothing but their shirt & manites.

So there I was, upstairs, having just gone over a concept with a fashionista when I round the corner and literally bump into this dude taking off his pants; knocking him to the floor. I am not sure who was most embarrassed, but I am happy he was wearing form-fitting manties so nothing flopped out like a freshly reeled in salmon.

3. JUST NOW- I've come to realize I really like the Cranberries & Garbage. (the bands, not the items)

This is a mature situation.

Hey ya'll.

Anybody have any advice on what kind of point & shoot I should get? Preferably something under $250 - easy to use - reliable - 7+MP.


GO!

Here's a challenge for you. Troll through some more abstract submissions on here. Take note of all the "I don't get it" comments. Click on the commenter's name. Check out their profile and, most importantly, age.

Most of the time, these are teenagers. 13-18 year olds who seem to require a clear cut description of what it is they are looking at. Is this a sign that imagination is slowly dying?

A few weeks ago, NPR had this to say.

It's basically saying that children today lack imaginative play due to all the technology and toys surrounding them- from graphic TV shows to video games to action figures. Why use your brain to make believe when you have something doing it for you presented with 427 mega pixels? Think about it- even Pokemon (sorry pear) cards gave kids detailed descriptions of what each character was supposed to do. Everything is already written out for you, no individual thought needed!

Is the research provided in NPR's piece valid? Try holding the little I Don't Get It study I've suggested up above to compare. It's a little worry some and a lot interesting.

PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!

Are you ready for an EPIC clash of strangers and pillows amidst a ridiculously tumultuous arena? Come join the fun this Saturday, Mar 29th, and bring your pillow or a camera!!!

There is a collection of people from all over the world that are articipating in a massive improv project with the goal of causing assive scenes to surprise, unsettle and make laugh unsuspecting people. The local chapter is organizing a spontaneous 3 minute pillow fight in pike place market after which people will go their own ways and reunite at a bar or restaurant. An explanation of the event
is below.

DATE: Saturday March 29th RAIN OR SHINE.
TIME: 3:15pm
PLACE: Pike Place Market, corner of Pike and Pine. In the street, in front of the place that throws the fish.

A car will be blocking traffic so that we can safely fight in the street. Because we'll be stopping traffic the fight will be 3 minutes.

THE WAY IT WORKS-

- TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE FIGHT. Bring as many people as you possibly can. A big fight is a GREAT fight!

- CONCEAL YOUR PILLOW! Hide it in a backpack, a shopping bag, under your coat, etc. DO NOT go to the fight location and hang out with a pillow in your hand. Look busy: Pretend to shop, chat on the phone or with a friend, whatever, just don't be obvious. (If you see someone
hanging out, with pillow in hand, discreetly suggest that they look busy and try to hide the pillow)

- LISTEN FOR THE WHISTLE. There will be a diversion in the street to allow the car to stop for us and give the cars that were in front of it time to move down the street to give us enough room to have the fight. Don't just start fighting because you see someone in the street.

- After 3 minutes, The whistle will blow again to stop the fight. STOP FIGHTING IMMEDIATELY AND WALK AWAY. Just like nothing ever happened ;-)

**AFTERMATH GATHERING at The Whiskey Bar (just in time for happy hour!) 2000 Second Ave. (206) 443-4490 Bring cash if you want to drink, because they don't accept credit cards.

REMEMBER-
Bring Friends, Tell people
Conceal Your Pillow
Don't Hit Anyone without a Pillow (Very important!!!)
Watch Out for Cameras

--If you come with a group, it's helpful to spread out before the fight and come running from different directions--
