Seattle Alley Watch, whose top story is a mind-blower.

(Thanks for the heads-up to Slog tipster J.P.)

This is why I think Capitol Hill townhouses/condos will be more affordable in five years. Folks from the 'burbs (not this guy per se) will discover that urban density brings more than used books and fresh scones.

Wasn’t that alley pooper on American Idol last night?

That's the guy who's always going through the dumpster at my apartment building. Glad to see he's actually cracked up, not just someone who you assume is all cracked up.

I recognize that guy. About a year ago, his hair used to be slightly rainbow-colored for some odd reason.

I guess that's why they call it a dumpster.

David, please make sure Ari sees this. She is interested in renting him an apartment.

I'd be willing to bet a 99cent bag of Cheetos that I stepped in one of Bozo's Hostess Apple Pie turds in South Lake Union.

Mr. Clydesdale: That is an award-worthy sentence, and it almost made me puke.

You know what? I think the person who posted those pictures is a creep. I'd rather have that guy shit near my garage than live anywhere near the "Alley Watch ghoul."

“Seattle likes to turn an impossibly blind eye to the problems caused by the very hip and cool coffee sucking stuck-up tree huggers - the lower class.”

Finally! We know who to blame.

Now if only we could find a way to purge Seattle of its very hip and cool coffee sucking stuck-up tree huggers.

Damn those tree huggers!!!

(And I’d always been told it was the money grubbing corporate overlords who were to blame for the lower class. What a relief!)

@10

So, I am sure, would the "Alley Watch ghoul."

Perhaps you should forward her your address so she could post it in her alley.

Do you think this guy is just huddling near his window waiting for stuff like this to happen? I can see some back-alley action from my kitchen table, and it would take about ten seconds to grab a camera.

If you’re so concerned about the privacy rights of junkies shitting drugs on people’s property then by all means, let’s have your address, you fecalphile.

DS @ 8 -- Savory after sweet if I have the misfortune to curl along another one of King Lear's asscrabbles.

Hey, that looks like Crazy Kickboxing Guy. My partner and I have seen him walking up 23rd practicing his air-kickboxing moves. We've even seen him as far south as Columbia City, so dude gets around.

He also stops by my partner's office once or twice a year and tells him and his coworkers the story of his life while making a paper airplane and then attempting to sell it to them.

Strange, I never thought about what he does outside the office.

How is this not solved by a $5.00 air horn? When the junkies come around my place I give them a little taste of the horn.

You really only need to do it once.

I saw a bum take a big dump between two green dumpsters on Broadway one morning as I was getting a latte from Vivace. It was so nasty, I actually stopped a cop and told him he should deal with it. Scoop your poop Seattle. Maybe animal control could help us out with this issue?

Gameboy,
Right on! Call animal control, haul em to the pound and if no one claims them, put them "to sleep". Awsome!
