Debatin' On The Ceiling!

yelahneb on January 13, 2011 at 2:22 PM

You glued him to the celing!

dotSpec on January 13, 2011 at 2:23 PM

Question: What value do you put on the efforts to register students at the UW and other colleges/universities within the district? How would you seek to involve the hundreds of newly registered voters who are likely to be Democrats?

Phelix on January 13, 2011 at 2:28 PM

How seriously do you take marijuana legalization efforts?

douchus on January 13, 2011 at 2:35 PM

We've coaxed them off the ceiling with the promise of martinis and peanuts.

Dominic Holden on January 13, 2011 at 2:37 PM

Do you support the deep bore tunnel? Do you support Seattle paying for cost overruns?

To Michael: Do you believe "T" should be taken out of LGBT per your online post? Do you believe transgender people are "mentally ill" as stated in your online post?

raku on January 13, 2011 at 2:38 PM

Could Michael be any more adorable, or Will any less?

I would like them each to answer this question. Thank you.

gloomy gus on January 13, 2011 at 2:39 PM

What do you think of Hans Dunshee's plan to split each legislative district into two separate House districts? Would this be beneficial t the 43rd?

Phelix on January 13, 2011 at 2:41 PM

Do you believe moderate Democrats (aka roadkill dems) belong in the caucus?

Phelix on January 13, 2011 at 2:43 PM

Boxers or Briefs?

sponic on January 13, 2011 at 2:45 PM

If Mike smiled any harder his brain would hemorrhage.

I'm 85 Years Old on January 13, 2011 at 2:49 PM

but seriously, that stained glass is amazing! stranger offices? buyer here if you want to "update"!

Christi S on January 13, 2011 at 2:50 PM

Will...what is your strategy for battling the all important issue of Michael's nail-bitingly hot homosexuality?

Mittens Schrodinger on January 13, 2011 at 2:56 PM

Question for Will:

Will you please just stop it?

Follow up:

If not, what would it take to get you to stop it?

The Wretched Harmony on January 13, 2011 at 2:57 PM

I'd like to ask mike if the black fog creeping up from his sleeves onto his hands is body hair, and if so, does he shave or wax?

hurricanaan on January 13, 2011 at 2:59 PM

Question:

In one word, choose: iPad, Kindle, or Nook, and explain in 10 words or less the philosophy behind your decision.

Joe Szilagyi on January 13, 2011 at 3:00 PM

Michael: if you were a flavor of ice cream which would it be? Follow-up: may I drizzle chocolate sauce all over your hot naked body? Call me. <3

ser on January 13, 2011 at 3:02 PM

nice shirt, is it time for ze time on sprockets ver ve danze?

on January 13, 2011 at 3:03 PM

Dom, I would like you to ask a question in French and see if Will can answer it. He claims to be fluent.

This a critical issue for our time.

gnossos on January 13, 2011 at 3:10 PM

To both candidates: Which is the more appropriate response to someone wearing a turtleneck, mockery or physical assault?

seandr on January 13, 2011 at 3:10 PM

@20 What if it is a mock-turtleneck?

Sir Vic on January 13, 2011 at 3:16 PM

Answer #7's question, dammit! Enquiring minds need to know!

FeralTurnip on January 13, 2011 at 3:20 PM

Hubba-hubba vs blubba-bubba? No contest.

You're right, that's shallow and looksist. OK, how about: one candidate has a brain and the other is Will in Seattle.

FeralTurnip on January 13, 2011 at 3:25 PM

@20, I'm wearing a turtleneck as I type this, and I wore a mock turtle on Tuesday. Don't make me take Will's side.

Fnarf on January 13, 2011 at 3:33 PM

I'm sorry gentlemen, the correct answer was "boxer briefs."

dwight moody on January 13, 2011 at 3:33 PM

@19 & 20, they call it a mock turtleneck because if you wear one, I will mock you.

Seriously, a mock turtleneck has a shorter neck, so it can't be folded over. And more seriously, I will mock you if you wear one.

Luckier on January 13, 2011 at 3:33 PM

Just because this is a race of National importance, I'll personally answer as many of these that didn't get asked as possible!

@6 - I do not support the City paying for any cost overruns. State highways are to be paid for by the state. Period.

@7 - I'm 29. It's all downhill from here.

@8 - I am opposed. The benefit of having the LD's as they currently are is that citizens have access to elected officials who sit on a wide array of committees. While how they vote on the floor is very important, the crafting of bills in committee is the best place to make changes. Giving people less representation, while giving legislators fewer people to report to, is not something I support.

@9 - Yes.

@11 - It actually did a little bit.

@15 - That's hair. And no, I do not shave or wax my hands/arms.

@16 - If I had to choose, I would go for iPad. More versatile, and increases ability to access information.

@17 - Probably Rocky Road. For the follow-up...maybe?

@20 - Mockery. Although I would prefer neither. Physical assault is never an appropriate response.

michaelp on January 13, 2011 at 3:35 PM

Couldn't remember if they were red or blue.

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 3:37 PM

Just a point before Fnarf writes it in his wiki - we were promised neither martinis nor peanuts, even though both would have been appreciated.

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 3:39 PM

I would back Will if I had a vote. I'm afraid if he loses it will give him even more time to spew his inane comments here.

bigyaz on January 13, 2011 at 3:46 PM

I wonder how many of these oh-so-important, oh-so-deep questions were posed by potential voters in next Tuesday's election.

My guess -- zero.

N in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 3:48 PM

Note that I didn't couch my remark in the form of a question. If I had, the correct response @31 would have been one.

N in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 3:50 PM

@24: Truth be told, I'm wearing a mock turtleneck right now, although it's more of an Underrmor athletic layer than your classic turtleneck.

seandr on January 13, 2011 at 3:52 PM

@27 You don't shave your hands or arms...what about the rest?

TheMisanthrope on January 13, 2011 at 4:03 PM

Unfortunately my ability to answer any more questions in a timely manner will be hampered due to preparation for tonight's vigil. I do hope to see many of you there, as we stand united with the victims of the horrific events in Tucsan.

michaelp on January 13, 2011 at 4:13 PM

@3 technically, most of the UW student dems tend to vote in their home districts, since their votes there matter more than here. And, as a group, they've been pretty good at getting students to register to vote, which is far more crucial to countywide, statewide, and national races. Where the district comes in is doorbelling precincts that may have students, to remind them to vote. But, again, the UW students are more effective at that.

@31 um, aren't you an elected PCO and thus one of the few who can vote?

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 4:14 PM

@16 - ruageek?

droid for techies, iPad for cognescenti, and Kindles for cheapskates.

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 4:17 PM

@35 Tuscan food is great.

But you should show up at 7:30 pm at Westlake Mall for the Candlelight Vigil for those slaughtered in Tucson too.

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 4:19 PM

@36 Yes, Will, you know full well that I'm an elected PCO. But, as noted @32, I didn't ask a question.

Reading comprehension, man!!

N in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 5:01 PM

oh come on, we're all anonymous here.

Will in Seattle on January 13, 2011 at 5:49 PM

how the dick does someone not know the difference between boxers and briefs?

DeaconBlues on January 13, 2011 at 6:31 PM

What @41 said, or was Will just making the interviewer explain underwear in some sort of moment of irony?

TheRain on January 13, 2011 at 6:59 PM

Why do you refer to one of them as their full name and the other as their Slog name?

w7ngman on January 13, 2011 at 8:14 PM

@34 - only one way to find out.

michaelp on January 13, 2011 at 10:21 PM

at Macy's, they had a whole selection to buy at sale - long briefs (kind of mid-thigh), short boxers, long boxers ... and I think michaelp said "tighty whities" actually ... couldn't remember if i had red tartan boxers (short) or blue tartan boxers (mid), so i peeked at the waistband.
