The NY Times business section is good for interesting stories most of the time.

The Seattle Times and the P-I? Not so much.

What they failed to mention was that Cupids is a full male nudity review. As some in seattle know, I grew up in South Florida, and did work at Cupids at one time in the distant past. Tiger, as he is known, wasn't always tattooed, but had always been muscled. Yummy, lol.

Rock that Roll! Nice to know there is a slogger connection to this story.

Got a pic of Tiger, Will? If you do, send it in...

Oh, and everyone is looking for Tiger but no one can find him, according to the story. So if you've got his number, share that too...

OMG! Maybe Tiger's dead too!

They can't be trying very hard to locate the guy.

Seems to me that a muscled blond with tiger stripes would be easy to find.

I don't have a picture of him, if you go to Cupid's web page though, he worked at the one in West Palm, as well as the one in Miami that opened up later on. He was on the web page for cupids, pre tattoos, and was Mr. Cupid in 2000, and in 01. I'll look for it, and make some calls. I lost his number years ago, but I'll see what I've got.

Dan,

Tiger's done porn, it shouldn't be that hard to locate pictures, if I wasn't at work I'd help you out. Check TLA video, or another fine purveyor of adult videos, there should be some pictures.

Dan,

I called my friend Bryce who I used to work with there, he told me that they took down all the pictures of Tiger (I think his real name is Chase, but I could be mistaken) because of the pending investigation.

Some tidbits on him, he ALWAYS did private parties, and was sent out for "events". The way cupids works is there are back rooms that you can pay by the hour, as well as a fee to the "dancer". Tiger always had big money clients, thus made him an easy jealousy target to the guys he worked with, because of the money he used to RAKE in. Mr. Tobias and his wifey were in a lot, and always requested him.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but hope this helps shed a bit more light on the subject.

Will in Seattle @ 10, 19 & 21:

You don't sound like the already established Will in Seattle -- the Fremont celebrant who's always going on about Bill Sherman. Or who was when Bill Sherman was relevant. Just for the sake of clarity, can you pick a different handle. Of course, if you are Will in Seattle, I apologize for thinking that your two apparent personas are contradictory.

I found a video of Tiger. And it's SFW.

I'm picturing a Tiger version of the infamous Showgirls lap dance scene. Yes sir, may I have another?

You're absolutely right I'm not. I'm a 25 yr old who lives on the hill, who could care less about Sherman.

I've been posting as Will in Seattle, Shhh, DUH, etc. I pick and choose. Blogging is something I take lightly, so the handles should be as well.

Thanks for the offer, but no thanks!

Bravo "Will in Seattle!"

"Will in Seattle" - Using established commenters' handles is against the rules 'round here.

Ahem:
"No sock-puppetry (or puppetry of any kind)."

The handle on your previous posts has been changed, please choose something else in the future.

Will in Seattle @ 29:

I agree with you that blogging is something to be taken lightly, and I like to use multiple handles too. But I don't use handles that are established. Will in Seattle has been a member of what could be called the "slogosphere" for several years, and has built a certain reputation for intellectual consistency.

The conversations that happen in the "slogosphere" are helped by this kind of consistency -- people know what to expect from Will in Seattle (Fremont). Same with Judah, Mr. Poe, flamingbanjo, Gitai, and the other regular commenters. This familiarity breeds not only contempt, but clarity, which, as you may know, being a participant of the InterWeb Thingy, is in increasingly short supply.

Wow, glad to know my handle became a bigger topic on here than the post itself.

Glad to see my handles were changed, and silly me for not knowing the "rules"

Anthony, the consistancy you speak of is understandable, and would you like me to go dig through all the past slogs that I posted Will in Seattle, so you can change those handles too?

I may not be the fremont Will, but I do have consistancy in my writing, and would be more than happy to choose a new handle, so you can grade my intellectual level as well.

Entertaining as usual, and thanks for such a high level of interest in my postings. I'll reconsider posting again... well, at least under that heading.

Good point!

Posted by Hal | December 4, 2007 10:41 AM

Thanks Hal. It's funny how under the most random of headings and topics, the question of intellectual consistancy comes up.

I had the fear of spending countless hours going back to all my past slog postings throughout this year where I posted Will in Seattle.

Could it be that the level of intelligence level they are speaking of is actually from posts that I've made? There's something to ponder for a bit.

@20 Unless there are multiple blonde fags with tiger stripe tattoos running around and posing for porn, I know I saw him in Freshmen some years back.

The new "Will in Seattle"'s first three posts in this thread are more interesting than anything and everything ever posted by the "established" Will in Seattle (who would be by far the worst Slog commenter of all time if it weren't for Mr. Poe). I vote we make the original Will in Seattle change *his* name -- why not reward quality over longevity?

Is it a rule or something to be a annoying if your name is Will?

Posted by Fuck the Wills | December 4, 2007 11:41 AM

Why yes, yes it is.

Posted by Triumph of the Wills | December 4, 2007 11:45 AM

As Dan does it.. let's break this down @38...

1. A annoying? Gramatically it's "an annoying".

2. An annoying what?

3. No, it's not generic that we're annoying, it's being stubborn that runs between us.

4. I'd rather be stubborn than stupid.

To David @37, thanks for the compliment. If he's a horrible poster, than I'd rather not carry the name. Homo Will works just fine for me.
