Slog - Comments on This Week in The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/this_week_in_the_stranger_6 Brendan Kiley on Greg Lundgren's Monumental Undertaking "Lundgren Monuments will succeed or fail depending on how many people seek alternatives to the defaults and clichés of the death-care business. Lundgren's cast-glass monuments adorn cemeteries in five countries and 20 states, but he's had to fight, cemetery by cemetery, to get them in. Most cemeteries only allow monuments made of granite or bronze, which don't erode like marble and sandstone. Glass, Lundgren tells reluctant cemetery directors, is as durable as granite. Lundgren argues that because the technology required to cast thick glass is only 30 years old, people don't understand...

Perhaps you are confusing Pimm's Cup with something like Campari.

Thankfully I have both at home. I will commence a tasting of each after work and report back.

And Brendan's story was fascinating - more of these!

Who did the Onion rip it off of?

Incidental, not rip off.

Birch Steen sucked this week. Best to kill the column than let it persist in this sad form. Kinda like that terrible time when David Schmader stepped away from doing Last Days.

There's a huge, really great, inexpensive apartment right across the hall from mine, but I can't interest anyone I know in it ... because of the prostitutes loitering 24/7 across the street. I can't walk past sketchy Denny Park at night either, which will probably be a concern when it starts getting dark around 4:30 pm.

The downside of the shiny, sparkly, prostitute free Paul Allen side of my neighborhood, of course, is that there's only one restaurant (Blue Moon Burgers) by my place that you can get a reasonably priced meal after 5 pm. Since I don't get home from work until nearly 7, this is a major bummer. (I don't consider Whole Foods a bastion of reasonably priced meals.) Of the condos that have been built, most of the retail space is empty. It's like a ghost town except for a really brief period on sunny Saturdays, when people venture over to that nice little park.

Regarding the SLUT: useless for the city as a whole, awesome and very, very convenient for me, as I don't have a car and commute by bus to Lake City.

Yeah, sure, his monuments sure are purdy and he's hot and everything but you guys don't know Greg on a personal level--and from personal experience, you'd be better off if you didn't. He's bad, bad news.

Penis is not made of margarine. However, saying Whozeewhatsit is kinda funnier, mouth-shapes-wise. I just never made the transition myself. I'd still substitute Penis, still making the Whozeewhatsit mouth movements. If you hven't tried it, do. It's fun! Best regards to you, sir.
