I've read lots of Vonnegut, but somehow never got around to reading Slaughterhouse Five.

The Sirens of Titan is my fave.

@1) You are in for a treat!

Also, just checking: You've read "Breakfast of Champions," right?

Urgutha, if I had known that, I would have bought the book for you years ago. Too late now, but go get it and read it.

I dunno about "everywhere else". We were in Southern Cal yesterday and it was in the 80s.

Currently 61° here in Denver, but it's been kind of a nasty winter overall.

Nope, haven't read Breakfast of Champions either... I know, I know. I've read most of his other stuff: Player Piano, Cat's Cradle, Galapagos, Hocus Pocus, God Bless you mr.Rosewater, Bluebeard, Mother night, Slapstick, umm.. Jailbird... um... I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch.

Slaughterhouse and Breakfast always seemed like his "mainstream" popular titles and I wanted to read his less well known ones. I'll throw them on my list though.

@6) Rabo Karabekian's speech in defense of modern art from "Breakfast" has made a huge positive impact on my apprecaition of art and my life in general.

Two treats for you!!!

Breakfast of Champions was also made into a straight-to-dvd movie starring Bruce Willis. It wasn't awful :)

WTD with the Tunnel?

1. Skatepark! Because Duh!
2. Homeless encampment/shelter -- multi-level!
3. Cut a hole in the wall and connect it to the Seattle Underground Tour.
4. Store all the freaking "Duck" tourist wahoomalazooma amphibious bus/trucks down there. Permanently.
5. Escape route for the Federal Building employees.
6. Start creating our own "Catacombs" like they have in Paris. In 100 years it'll be really cool.
7. Connect it to Pike Place Mkt and use it for more unique boutiques and funky shops.
8. Fresh water (or dry supplies) storage, for the next natural disaster.
9. Fill it full of argon gas.
10. Nuclear fusion test site?
11. iPhone factory.
12. Amazon could move their entire operations down there -- those code-monkey's don't need daylight anyway.
13. Storage/"parking" for Paul Allen's private submarine.
14. Regular car parking! Would solve the parking troubles on the surface streets.
15. Classified Military Base.
16. Rex Velvet's Secret Hideout and Mega-Laser Installation.
17. Boeing 787 factory.
18. INS Detention Center -- really creepy detention! Or just a regular Anarchist Detention Center. ;)
19. Cheese and wine aging storage.

...and last but certainly not least...

20. Tunnel Raves!

21. Wind tunnel aerodynamic product testing facility.

@10 was correct.

Skatepark

Unfinished tunnel, you say?

...sounds like a job for Preppers.

WE SHOULD USE THE TUNNEL TO FINALLY BRING FASTER INTERNET TO THE CITY.
16
@15) I've often heard that the internet is just like a series of tubes...
17
RIP, little newborn. Sigh.

Announce there's a big "12th Man" celebration in the tunnel, then seal 'er up!

Please wait...
