BTW, the BMW photo somehow made it into Jen Graves' Two Art Books post from yesterday.

If they were hetero, I suspect this story would end up in Dan's "Every child needs a mother and father" series.

Can someone get this guy some help? He sounds remarkably like some of the women I've known... I can only hope his partner gets locked up for a while.

Yours is a bullshit comment, chunkstyle. Now, if the BMW had been a baby in a microwave...

In other news, SO MANY GAY GUYS NAMED TERRY! I have *never* met a straight guy named Terry, but at least half a dozen gay ones.

Moral: BMWs look sexy even after axe attacks.

Sadly the *hammer song* seems to have nothing to do with the altercation. Nor is there any mention of the shining. Where's the camp? What kind of gay people are these? Oh yeah, West Seattle. Never mind.

Oh man, I laughed at the last line about him just going back to mowing his lawn.

Lawn ain't gonna mow itself!

Hahaha.

Real Reality: A guy beats up a lawn mower and a car and retreats to the basement to sulk.

The Other Reality: A gun wielding maniac abducts several construction workers and holds them hostage in his basement. Various commentators lament the proliferation of guns, maniacs, construction workers, and basements in our troubled society. TSG reports the BMW's tabs had expired, and suggests the car got what it deserved. Terry signs huge contract to promote a new line of Toro boot-resistant lawnmowers. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee wins awards for death defying coverage.

What? You mean they weren't arguing about where the Gay Pride Parade should be held? I thought that was what everyone cared about this week! Apparently these two don't read "Seattle's Only Newspaper."

idiot. battered domestic partner syndrom or whatever. if he is going to get a no contact order, he needs to fucking follow it himself. sadly, we deal with this everyday at the state attorney's office. once it gets to a felony battery, and there are 9 dropped misdemeanor cases, then they victim suddenly wants to help us out.

My boyfriend's name is Terry, and he doesn't care where the Pride Parade is--they can hold it on our bathroom, he says, but he's still not going.

The guy that sits in front of us at the M's games is named Terry and he is straight. Dan Savage has a bathroom big enough to hold gay pride? Damn, I have to turn slightly sideways to get by my sink.

Since I live in this neighbourhood and was witness to the entire fiasco, I have to confess, my gaydar was dead with these two, never suspected they were gay much less boyfriends. Oh the shame on me!! LOL
Seriously, it was a very scary scene watching the guy wail on the bmw with the axe, and then to have an army of policemen and swat teams firing canisters of tear gas......what a great afternoon!! My dogs thought it was the 4th of July!!
Today, Mr. Wendt is out in his yard doing work, cleaning up, going about his business..... I feel just awful for him, I wanna make him a casserole or something....take it over there and tell him how sorry I am that this had to happen to him. We've all had our relationship spats and problems and its just awful that it had to escalate to what it did.
Oh and Jonah, YOU ROCK!! Thank you for covering this!! I had no idea what the whole story was until you took my pics and posted the story, THANK YOU!!!
