Eminem did it on purpose, as part of his show (with sound effects, not actual vomit). Blessthefall's singer puked on his fans, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAO4WcoZrxI">this kid</a> puked on his peers, singer of the hardcore band the Carrier puked at a show in Philly and kept playing. Hey, it happens!</p> <p>So, of course, it begs the question: Who has the best barf? Watch the clips (so long as you don't have a weak stomach) and <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2012/10/01/who-has-the-best-barf-an-official-puke-poll">vote for your favorite upchuck on Line Out</a>!</p> Bieber Fever http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/10/01/who-has-the-best-barf-an-official-puke-poll?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=14902966&id=comments 0 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 12:19:16 -0700 The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/04/20/pot-legalization-forum-at-town-hall-tonight-in-honor-of-420 http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/04/20/pot-legalization-forum-at-town-hall-tonight-in-honor-of-420 Cienna Madrid <p>Tonight at <strong>7:00 pm at Town Hall</strong>, the Cannabis Defense Coalition is hosting a lively debate on Initiative 502, <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/legalize-it/Content?oid=8743947">the marijuana legalization measure</a> that, if approved by voters this November, would license, tax, and regulate marijuana sales in Washington while allowing to keep up to an ounce of weed in their possession.</p> <p>Alison Holcomb will be arguing the pro-tax-and-regulate perspective on behalf of <a href="http://www.newapproachwa.org/about">New Approach Washington</a>. Taking the con side will be John Toker, a spokesman for <a href="https://sensiblewashington.org/blog/about/">Sensible Washington</a>, which would rather see marijuana legalized outright in lieu of being taxed and regulated.</p> <p>I know: <strong>Friday night debates are terrible</strong>. What's worse, the Seattle Channel is not live streaming the event, so you can't watch it in a bar or in the comfort of your hot-boxed car. But if you're confused about the impacts and implications of I-502, or if you're on the fence about how to vote, or if you simply have nothing better to do, <strong>show up</strong>. They'd love to have you.</p> <p>The debate will be moderated by Seattle City Council member Nick Licata.</p> <p>[ <a href="http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/04/20/pot-legalization-forum-at-town-hall-tonight-in-honor-of-420#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=13419626&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Bieber Fever City http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/04/20/pot-legalization-forum-at-town-hall-tonight-in-honor-of-420?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=13419626&id=comments 9 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:13:25 -0700 The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/03/22/is-richard-conlin-alive-the-stranger-investigates http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2012/03/22/is-richard-conlin-alive-the-stranger-investigates Dominic Holden <p>Four-term goat advocate and Madrona resident Richard Conlin makes over $100,000 a year. But on our many recent trips to City Hall's second floor, the council member <strong>wasn't in his office</strong>. Even his staff seemed to be missing most of the time. Perhaps Conlin's accomplishment-packed days of busily carrying water for downtown business lobbyists, fomenting petty fights with the mayor, and expediting new state highways while scotching local transit projects were behind him. What happened to that spunky greenwashing Conlin who legalized backyard goats and taught us how to love chickens? </p> <p>After putting out the call on Tuesday&#8212;has anyone seen a Richard Dreyfus lookalike from Madame Tussauds?&#8212;nobody seemed to know where he'd been.</p> <p><strong>Who will speak for the freeways?</strong> How will the underdogs at the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce find a voice without the booming chords of Conlin? That transit master plan isn't going to freeze its own funding, you know. </p> <p>Some had spotted Conlin on Tuesday at the 43rd District Democrats meeting politicking&#8212;not quite passing bills, but a good sign.</p> <p>So we called Conlin's office yesterday afternoon to speak with his voicemail when a woman unexpectedly answered the phone, said Conlin was in his office&#8212;his vital signs were strong&#8212;and that she would put us through. <strong>Conlin, it turns out, isn't dead at all.</strong> He explained that, now that it's late March, the City Council is just getting going on its work for the New Year and he wanted to talk about it.</p> <p><strong><em>The Stranger</em>: So do you still work for the city?</strong><br />Richard Conlin: Ha ha ha. Yes. You would be most welcome to look at <a href="http://conlin.seattle.gov/">my blog posts</a> and see the things that we are working on, a workplan for the committee, and we have a lot of existing stuff we are doing.</p> <p><strong>TS: You know that blogging isn't actual work, right?</strong><br />Conlin: Blogging <em>isn't</em> actually work. It describes what we're actually working on. </p> <p><strong>TS: Like as your new position as chair of COBE (Committee on the Built Environment)?</strong><br />Conlin: COBE? Oh, man, you're so out of touch. It's now called the Planning, Land Use and Sustainability Committee. </p> <p><strong>TS: How could I have missed that? Have you introduced any bills?</strong><br />Conlin: We will have the Othello and Rainier rezones and the regulatory reform package&#8212;a complicated set of changes to the land use code that will provide for more flexibility in development areas&#8212;on our next agenda. </p> <p><strong>TS: It seems awfully quiet on the second floor these days.</strong><br />Conlin: The council is basically just getting into its work this year. The major thing we will be doing in the next few weeks is the library levy we have been working on and we plan to vote on that on April 9. We're looking at about $17 million the first year, as part of a seven-year levy. That's a little over $50 per year for a median household. We've been working on it for a couple years with the library board to increase the collection budget, the hours for branches, expanding electronic media and materials, and building maintenance. </p> <p><strong>TS: Is anybody, like, wondering what you do all day?</strong><br />Conlin: Nobody that I know. </p> <p><strong>TS: Have you been, like, on a really long vacation?</strong><br />Conlin: Not recently. Let's see&#8212;I was away for a week in February.</p> <p><strong>TS: Do you miss being the council president?</strong><br />Conlin: I enjoyed being council president, and now I am ready to do something else. </p> <p><strong>TS: What about constantly kicking the mayor's ass&#8212;do you miss that?</strong><br />Conlin: That wasn't the intention. We are working well with the mayor on lots of different issues.</p> <p><strong>TS: Your main job used to be disagreeing with the mayor on everything. </strong><br />Conlin: I don't know&#8212;except for disagreement on the tunnel&#8212;I'm not sure if there is anything else I would describe that way. </p> <p><strong>TS: MOHAI, panhandling penalties, expanding the 520 bridge without light rail, freezing his Transit Master Plan budget ring any bells?</strong><br />Conlin: We are now in agreement in 520, jointly agreeing with memorandum of understating [with the state]. That's an important achievement. </p> <p><strong>TS: As for the tunnel issue, the council supported it, but never made a plan for mitigating the 65,000 vehicles that wouldn't use it, spilling onto city streets. Does the council have any plan or money for that problem?</strong><br />Conlin: We continue to work with state, but this is not a council effort. This is something the city is all on board with&#8212;SDOT and the mayor and the council. I think the change in tolling numbers [the state found it must charge less for tolls, thereby lowering diversion to city streets] is going to make things significantly easier. </p> <p><strong>TS: What were your biggest accomplishments?</strong><br />Conlin: There is a pretty long list of things I accomplished during the presidency&#8212;the most important was creating in the council a real sense of working together and putting together common agenda. If you <a href="http://conlin.seattle.gov/">look at my blog posts...</a></p> <p><strong>TS: Nobody reads blog posts. Do you miss me?</strong><br />Conlin: Ha ha ha ha.

Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who&#8217;s sponsoring legislation to make it a felony to profit from streaming unlicensed content online, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.</p> <p>&#8220;That guy needs to be locked up,&#8221; Bieber said after hearing about the bill, apparently not immediately remembering Amy is generally a woman&#8217;s name. &#8220;Whoever she is, she needs to know that I&#8217;m saying <strong>she needs to be locked up</strong>, put away in cuffs.&#8221;</p></blockquote> <p>I never thought I'd write this, but: I agree with Bieber. Not that Senator Klobuchar needs to be arrested, but the <a href="http://infojustice.org/archives/5916">Stop Online Piracy Act</a>&#8212;which can make streaming of unauthorized copyrighted content punishable with up to <strong>five years in prison</strong>&#8212;is total bullshit.

See you then! Do you think there's something we should be discussing at this meeting? Put it in the comments!</p> <p>In the meantime, if you're looking for something to do, <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/how-to-be-a-person-who-people-want-to-sleep-with/Content?oid=2243078">here are some lesbian sex tips</a>, including <strong>good advice for masturbators</strong> of all genders and orientations:</p> <blockquote><p><strong>How to Use Your Sex Parts (If You Are a Lady Having Sex with a Lady)</strong></p> <p>Masturbate. A lot. Try different positions, different toys, different orifices (and beyond). Try for different types of orgasms&#8212;don't just go for a direct hit (unless you only have five minutes in a public bathroom). Indulge yourself; foreplay isn't just for when other people are around. Play with your fantasies, kinks, and desires. Read up on female sexuality and erotica. Confidence is key when it comes to sex&#8212;and the more you try out, the more you will know what works for you and the less timid you'll be about your own and other people's bodies. Plus, that post-orgasm glow looks really good on you.</p> <p>Communicate. A lot. Everyone's bodies (and brains) are different, even when you are working with similar parts. Rid yourself of preconceived notions about what ladies do with lady parts. You don't have to be romantic and slow. Don't be afraid to fuck. Ask for and take what you want (remembering to make sure everyone involved is on board, of course). Embrace the fluidity that female sexuality has to offer, and play with all the tools you were given and the ones you've bought.</p> <p>Your hands are your primary tools, so get ready to get arm-deep. Keep your nails trimmed, get latex/latex-free gloves, and lube. With patience and lots of talking you can look forward to fisting, G-spot orgasms, and ejaculating. Strap-ons can also be powerful and exciting. Psychic dick is an amazing thing to experience&#8212;so if you are game, it's worth investing in. (Any previously acquired cock-sucking skills can still come in handy when working with silicone.) And don't neglect your classic oral-sex techniques. Three 6 Mafia and the rest of us would rather get some head, and you have the advantage on giving a lady what she really wants.</p></blockquote> <p>[ <a href="http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/15/we-are-in-an-editorial-meeting-until-11#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=8650177&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Two-Block Radius Bieber Fever Conflict of Interest Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/15/we-are-in-an-editorial-meeting-until-11?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=8650177&id=comments 5 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:24:44 -0700 The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/01/this-is-what-happens-when-justin-bieber-administers-a-foot-rub http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/01/this-is-what-happens-when-justin-bieber-administers-a-foot-rub Wm.&#153; Steven Humphrey <p>Let's say you were to receive a foot rub from Justin Bieber, as his current girlfriend Selena Gomez is getting in the photo below.</p> <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:412px;"><a href="http://isleptwithcodysimpson.tumblr.com/post/6023256622"><img src="http://www.portlandmercury.com/images/blogimages/2011/05/31/1306881590-screen_shot_2011-05-31_at_12.58.19_pm.png" alt="Screen_shot_2011-05-31_at_12.58.19_PM.png" title="" width="400" height="400" /></a><ul><li class="imageCredit">Via "I Slept with Cody Simpson"</li><li class="imageCaption"></li></ul></div></p> <p>You might be inclined to say, "Thank you, Justin Bieber, for the foot rub.

There may be a movie to answer that very question! From the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/03/justin-bieber-ashton-kutcher-punkd-what-would-kenny-do-movie.html"><em>LA Times</em></a>.</p> <blockquote><p>Bieber is eyeing a lead role in the comedy &#8220;What Would Kenny Do?&#8221; according to a person who was briefed on the project but was not authorized to speak about it publicly. The film tells of a relationship between <strong>a 17-year-old and his thirtysomething self</strong>. Said thirtysomething would be <strong>played by Ashton Kutcher</strong>, the source said.</p></blockquote> <p>What&#8230; the&#8230; SHIT?!?</p> <blockquote><p>Chris Baldi&#8217;s &#8220;Kenny&#8221; script, which landed on Hollywood&#8217;s Black List in 2008, is an R-rated comedy describing a teenager who meets a hologram claiming to be the adult version of himself; the hologram then<strong> helps guide the teen through high school</strong>. </p></blockquote> <p>I'm pretty sure that if I needed someone to guide me through high school, it wouldn't be Ashton Kutcher. (My first instinct is to go with <a href="http://watchdownload.com/covers/514726.jpg">Kelly LeBrock</a>.)</p> <p><strong>BEIBER BEAT!!</strong> In other critical Bieber news, remember how <strong>Beebles cut his hair</strong> for charity, which was then purchased for $40,000? <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/Justin-Bieber-s-hair-has-personal-bodyguard/Article1-679792.aspx">That very same hair is currently ON A NATIONWIDE TOUR</a> (I swear to god I'm not kidding) in a glass case (under constant supervision from TWO bodyguards), where anyone who donates money to the Japanese relief fund can have their picture taken with it!

From <a href="http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/01/justin_bieber_grove_store.php">LA Weekly</a>:<br /><blockquote>The main draw at the Bieber store, said to be opening later this year... is<strong> Justin Bieber-branded lollipops</strong>. Because what you really want is to have your not-yet-teenage daughter furiously licking a likeness of her favorite pop star. </blockquote><br />Those guys over at the <em>LA Weekly</em> are unfunny smartasses. I kind of hate them. A better version of this story that isn't so poorly written can be found<a href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/01/exclusive-justin-bieber-plans-open-kardashian-store"> here.</a></p> <p>As recently reported, the rumor <em>du jour</em> is that das Beebs is getting freak nasty with slightly older teen Disney star Selena Gomez. Here is an extremely alarming (at least to Selena's parents) related story from the <em>National Enquirer</em> via <a href="In related news about these two, Bieber was rushed to the hospital in Burbank, California recently when he suffered an allergic reaction while on the set of CSI filming his guest spot. He was said to be having trouble breathing but has since fully recovered. He was treated for about 30 minutes and then released.">Celebitchy</a>:<br /><blockquote>Selena, 18, was recently photographed getting cozy with 16 year-old Justin in Miami and kissing him aboard a yacht off St. Lucia. <strong>The purity ring</strong> that she&#8217;s worn for six years - a symbol of her pledge to remain pure and celibate until marriage - was nowhere in sight.</p> <p>&#8220;When the ring came off, Selena&#8217;s parents became unglued,&#8221; a family friend told The Enquirer.</blockquote></p> <p><div style="text-align:center;"><strong><br /><blink>PANIC!!!!</blink></strong><br /><strong><br /><blink>PANIC!!!!</blink></strong><br /><strong><br /><blink>PANIC!!!!</blink></strong><br /></div><br />Another reason to<br /><strong><br /><blink>PANIC!!!!</blink></strong>: Justin Bieber suffered an allergic reaction on the set of <em>CSI</em>, guys! Also from <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/135629/selena_gomezs_parents_freaked_out_when_she_removed_her_purity_ring/">Celebitchy</a>: <br /><blockquote>Bieber was rushed to the hospital in Burbank, California recently when he suffered an allergic reaction while on the set of CSI filming his guest spot. He was said to be <strong>having trouble breathing </strong>but has since fully recovered. He was treated for about 30 minutes and then released.</blockquote><br />According to Selena Gomez' parents, Bieber is most likely allergic to having sex with their daughter, and could suffer a life-threatening attack if he comes within 30 yards of her vagina. (And that, <em>LA Weekly</em>, is how you write a Justin Bieber joke. Dicks.)</p> <p>[ <a href="http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/01/18/today-in-justin-bieber#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=6366228&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Bieber Fever http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/01/18/today-in-justin-bieber?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=6366228&id=comments 3 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:04:02 -0800 The Stranger http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/01/14/oooohkay-i-guess-some-cats-just-dont-like-justin-bieber http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/01/14/oooohkay-i-guess-some-cats-just-dont-like-justin-bieber Wm.&#153; Steven Humphrey <p>Sure, I'll admit that his later singles aren't as strong as his early ones... and yeah, his so-called professed Christianity is boring and annoying.

Bieber was there being a heartthrob, while Waters promoted his book "Role Models."</p> <p>Not long after the shrieking died down from Bieber's introduction, the 16-year-old asked if he could say something. He leaned across to Waters' end of the couch and pronounced as only a teen could: <strong>"Your 'stache is the jam."</strong></p> <p>"Thank you. Thank you very much," Waters replied, a big smile on his face. He then pulled an eyebrow pencil from his pocket and handed it down to Bieber, saying, "<strong>If you want to try it&#8230;.
