Hell yeah! Does this mean I'll finally get to meet Fnarf?

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:31:26 -0800

I will go if Fnarf says he'll go. But I'll have luggage, which will be slightly embarrassing, but whatevz.

Belltown?! You might as well have it in Tacoma. What, am I supposed to actually get on a bus for it?

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:34:00 -0800

I'll be coming from the airport. You have no excuse. AND--You need to hurry up on the HUMP! film if you want my monster cock in it, I'm le leaving soon.

The back room at Shorty's is lovely. There are captain's chairs.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:36:12 -0800

OK, OK, I'll go. Let me put a couple of drinks in and I'll dance to "Quiet Village", too. And I'm going to make merciless fun of Poe's luggage -- maybe I'll OPEN IT!

I've been meaning to come to one of these, but these are always booked on Great Show nights -- this time, Wolf Eyes is playing High Dive in Fremont that night. :(

One of these days...

@4 - Oh, Poe, great art can't be hurried, particularly when I have conference deadlines. But your monster cock will be sorely missed. Emphasis on "sorely".

Well, okay, since it's only a short stumble from The Rendezvous - and they've got Galaga.

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:42:35 -0800

I thought Mr. Poe always came with baggage...

Amy Kate I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! Thanks for picking Shorty's.

p.s. I think that "every second Thursday" means it happens every other week, not once a month on the second Thursday of the month, is this what you meant?

I know there's some sort of snarky/pithy remark to be had from the combination of "luggage" and "Mr Poe's Monster Cock" but I'm still recovering from the appearance of our newest cast member, Ms Chelsea Alvarez-Bell, to think very clearly...

Jubilation T. Cornball — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:45:19 -0800

@10 -- Obviously, Amy Kate is in a fucking daze...first Chelsea, now this. The meth lab next door to her Section 8 studio must be off-gassing...

It's worth pointing out that, north of Georgetown, Shorty's is the preferred hang out of the most aggressive bicycle punks in the city. Let's see if any of you have the stones to start your "anti bike" rubbish while at Shorty's!

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:02:17 -0800

I'm not anti-bike, Gurldoggie. None of us are. But you'd have to actually read what we have to say in order to understand that. You admit to running red lights like it's nobody's business. That's where the problem is.

You aren't priviliged because you're on a bike. You have a responsibility just like drivers do.

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:02:51 -0800

*privileged.

Everyone has to behave, there.

Just because.

* it's OK, we still love you

Comment by Gurldoggie

Gurldoggie — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:12:11 -0800

Oh really? Here's some of the nice things that "none of us" wrote earlier today in response to a post about a group of bikers being hit by a car.

"That guy can't come to Seattle soon enough."

"What a beautiful picture."

"Too bad he didn't kill more."

"Mr. Poe and I are firing up the Buick as we speak..."

Comment by elenchos

elenchos — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:12:11 -0800

I like bicycles, but I hate bicyclists. And I'm always looking for people who are interested in hearing me talk about why.

Comment by It's Mark Mitchell

It's Mark Mitchell — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:16:15 -0800

I tried to spell that word earlier today and had a bit of difficulty too.

Fucking fuck.

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:17:03 -0800

That's called humor, Gurldoggie. I know you don't understand it, but, yeah. You don't understand it.

@18 -- My lawyers are currently reviewing whether this is a Fair Use of my intellectual property. Stay by your phone, please, as they may soon be calling you for a deposition.

Comment by Big Sven

Big Sven — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:22:14 -0800

I'll be there.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:25:06 -0800

I would totally support a trip to The Ram at Northgate too.

Comment by Reality Check

Reality Check — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:27:11 -0800

I might consider stopping in for a bit. I have a feeling Sven and I are much more alike than he realizes.

Comment by Original Monique

Original Monique — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:28:11 -0800

@Fnarf: You'd drive to Northgate and not take a cab or bus to Capitol Hill? Why must you loathe us so much?

*tear tear*

Comment by Reality Check

Reality Check — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:28:27 -0800

Plus we can celebrate Obama's clinching of the nomination together...

Thanks, PopTart. Fixed.

But it is the same night as Greendrinks. What am I supposed to do now?

note to #1:

Fnarf is a Fnigment of our imagination.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:44:12 -0800

@27 -- Northgate is also a straight shot on the bus. Hell, it's the same bus, going the other way. I'll do almost anything for you guys -- except transfer.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:45:49 -0800

Michael Strangeways -- in your fnucking dreams, baybee. I'm all real, solid bone all the way through.

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:47:17 -0800

@31 Maybe all of Slog is a figment of our imagination. Maybe it's all just a dream and when we awake we'll have to hunt down the Army of the Twelve Monkeys and save the world.

Damn I just gave myself a headache.

I'll try to drop by, but I've got movies at 7 and 9 ...

@Fnarf: Touche' sir. I understand.

what else is on the jukebox, fnarf? will you bring the lovely mrs. fnarf? will you cha cha with me to 'quiet village'? do they have any spike jones? perez prado?

elench, honeybuns, i think it's more like you're always looking for people who are interested in hearing you talk. as am i.

Zander — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:20:54 -0800

This is copied from Shorty's site.

WARNING: persons with coulrophobia should not enter this site or come to Shorty's
coulrophobia: [noun] rare extreme or irrational fear of clowns.

I am guessing this won't be a problem for the Slog crowd. Having endured Will in Seattle and all.

harold — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:25:24 -0800

Happiness is discovering there's classic arcade and pinball within a block from work. Fuck Ralph's and their constantly raising prices...I'm playing q*bert on my lunch hour.

Comment by Callie

Callie — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:44:29 -0800

Does this mean there isn't going to be trivia at THIS Slog Happy?

Comment by Will in Seattle

Will in Seattle — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:06:04 -0800

The first time I met Zander he was wearing a clown suit.

Or a suit ... they look kind of the same.

Why not clown and arcade trivia?

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:33:01 -0800

The back room juke has a ton of old swing stuff on it. Plenty to cha-cha to. I think it's the best only good jukebox in the city, because it doesn't have much rock on it.

Comment by Abby

Abby — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:34:36 -0800

Belltown? Lame. But as I'm coming from work anyway, this shouldn't be at all a problem. Whee!

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:02:42 -0800

Slog doesn't like the del tag. That was supposed to read best only good jukebox.

Abby, I want you there so I can say rude things about Arsenal and then have you say much more devastating things about Spurs in return.

Isn't shorty's cash only?

Comment by Bryce Beamish

Bryce Beamish — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:26:27 -0800

Shorty's is the worst fucking bar in Seattle. If I had to choose between drinking free booze at shorty's and swallowing glass from a communion cup at Mars Hill church....i'd be in the front pew.

I might have a thing against clowns, I don't know.

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:28:16 -0800

@45 What is this thing "cash"? I don't understand the word.

Comment by michael strangeways

michael strangeways — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:34:35 -0800

Lava Lounge is better...

Comment by scary tyler moore

scary tyler moore — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:48:36 -0800

yes, shorty's is cash only. mars hill church is just down the street, bryce, and with a pissy attitude like that, you can't COME TO SLOG HAPPY HOUR!

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:51:10 -0800

If only there were banks or ATMs around there. But no; Shorty's is in the middle of a vast, featureless wheat field in the Sand Hills of Nebraska.

Comment by Aislinn

Aislinn — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:04:01 -0800

This thread is hilarious. I'm glad it's at Shorty's, even though I like Rendezvous much better, because at least Shorty's is better than Smith.

And I'm glad there's no trivia. Not only do I despise losing, but trivia should be a sometimes thing, not an always thing. Moderation, people.

Comment by Bellevue Ave

Bellevue Ave — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:05:25 -0800

fnarf, there are in fact, very few banks or non fee charging atms around there.

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:09:23 -0800

@51 Agree with you about the trivia being a sometimes thing. I suspect with all the bright shiny games and the juke box we'll all be plenty entertained as it is. But the clown thing kinda scares me.

STM, for the love of all that's Slog worthy, show me how to cha-cha, please.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:38:03 -0800

BA, there's an ATM in the fucking bar.

You'll pay bar prices for drinks but you whine about a buck or two for the ATM fee? Trust me, if you add the fee in the drinks at Shorty's still cost a LOT less than some other places I could mention.

PopTart, nice and slow, now: one, two, three-and four, one, two, cha-cha cha. Shall I put on a little Dean Martin for you?

Comment by scary tyler moore

scary tyler moore — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:22:24 -0800

hmmm.

i was just reading the comments on dan's post about charging fat people by weight for airline tickets. sho' are a lotta people on slog who don't like the obese.

so maybe i won't go to slog, being an obese person myself. maybe my presence makes people uncomfortable or disgusted, or maybe they're nice to my face and make obscene gestures and laugh behind my back. if i'm harshing anyone's mellow at slog, please let me know and i'll stay home.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 18:59:40 -0800

You're not Obese Tyler Moore, you're Scary Tyler Moore. And anyone whose mellow is so fragile it is susceptible to harshing by the likes of you, m'dear, deserves everything they get. Stuff 'em. I'm pretty fat myself, but I don't let them hatin' blogmenters bother me. You are as welcome as anyone.

Besides, after "Quiet Village" no one's going to be noticing anybody's repulsive characteristics besides my own. You'll be in the clear.

Comment by Abby

Abby — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:02:25 -0800

Fnarf, oh I'll be there. And totally prepared to mock Spurs, as I always am (I believe it was a contract I signed when I bought my Arsenal throw blanket).

Comment by elenchos

elenchos — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:19:27 -0800

scary tyler moore, you owe me a jackhammer on the rocks. If I can find a way to be there, so can you. Plus! I'm going to talk on the topic of: my opinions! You wouldn't miss that, right?

Comment by PopTart

PopTart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:26:58 -0800

Scary Tyler Moore, I'm hoping they won't install a scale at the door and weigh us before entering because I'd be booted as well. You were so nice to me at Slog happy last month, and everyone loves you, so please go and fuck 'em to anybody whose mellow you are harshing.

Comment by Big Sven

Big Sven — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:09:29 -0800

I look forward to seeing Reality Check and Scary Tyler Moore (as well as everyone else, especially the 'Quah Posse.) SLOG night re-energizes you after a month of ad hominems and regurgitated talking points from comrades and combatants alike.

Amy Kate, bring name tags! Being in MN the last two months, I wouldn't recognize Reality Check from a large bag of 3/4" hex head bolts.

Comment by Fnarf

Fnarf — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:05:32 -0800

The bolts are me, Sven.

Comment by Greg

@27: I would totally drive a party van from Cap Hill up to Northgate to go to the Ram.
