I hope you're paying respects due, elenchos. That was the most brilliant Bar Exam in ages.

Bar Exam is the only column with poetry in it. Look, try it with any other column and you get nothing:

In The Hall

Eliminates all property taxes
Teachers, librarians, police, and health-care professionals
Far out of reach for workers in those and similar professions
Already being built.
More than 9 out of 10 rental units in King County are already affordable
"If you're going to have more housing, you need to change the program"
Nearly three times as much housing,
Was working just fine

The Tidy Bowl? What a horrible idea. Who the hell is in charge of marketing over there? Do they really think that reminding patrons of a toilet full of excrement is a good idea in a restaurant?

Such a good idea, that a press release is sent out about it?

Jesus. I'm never going there again.

c'mon Kerri lets look at the big picture:

you mean you will exclude:

Duck Farts
Gravediggers
Brain Erasers
Cum Shot
Snakebite
Liquid Cocaine
Buttery Nipple
and my favorite,
Cement Mixer

I'm with Kerri on this one. The Tidy Bowl? I'll stick with Manhattans, Sidecars, Juleps, Old Fashioneds, and scotch, thanks.

I'll never think of the whale whisker in Final Fantasy games quite the same way again.

I used to enjoy going to Ivar's on Lake Union via canoe with my son when he was little - we'd start in Ballard (launch off just to the east of the Ballard Bridge on the North side) and have lunch at Ivar's, then continue on to Magnolia for donuts and return home with a brief stop for a shake.

My fave Ivar's - my ex and I had our preparation dinner there for our families.

When I say I like brown liquor, this isn't what I mean.

You didn't refuse it when I called it "branch water and whiskey" ...

That "Tidy Bowl" sounds like the perfect way to wash down a serving of the Stranger's "Cat Shit Cake"
