Yo Capitol Hill Raps

posted by on December 20 at 10:55 AM

Today’s PI has a report on Pine Street redevelopment.

Erica C. Barnett did a bang up job on the story a few weeks ago.

The PI’s front-page local section headline announces in the print edition: “Condos soon will replace a bit of funky, counterculture Seattle.”

Funky? You gots that right, yo.

I haven't been down to the Cha Cha in a long while, but I think they got the sign wrong.

It's not:
"If you are:
-Racist
-Sexist
-Homophobic
-Or an asshole
Do not come in."

It's:
"If you are:
-Racist
-Sexist
-Homophobic
-an asshole
Do not come in."

The "or" is dumb. C'mon, P-I, get it right!

A search in the P-I's archives reveals 773 articles with the word "funky" since 1999. A search of the Stranger's site, 2,010 instances since whenever (including classifieds and forums).

This reminds me, I need to take advantage of Bimbo's while they are still around.

Yeah, if you like fuckin' sunflower seeds in your "buh-ree-toe" I guess.

"Funky" can just go to hell. It's the REAL F-Bomb.

'funky' is best used as an insult these days.
