Nightlife The Battle of January Is Won

Posted by on Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 1:26 PM

Cheers, weekend warriors. A threat last month to fatally poison approximately 55 people at gay bars with ricin “on a Saturday in January" has failed to liquefy any internal organs, the Seattle Police Department reports. (All that cheap vodka at CC’s may have liquefied a few livers). But the war continues. Not only must we, as committed gays and those who love them, continue to drink for the cause, SPD spokeswoman Renée Witt says homicide detectives are “on the case” and continue to investigate with “federal partners.” Like the bartenders who got you hammered, the police want tips. Please share any useful information you've got about the disgruntled ricin twit with SPD at (206) 684-5550. And drink safe in February: always wear a condom.

If it's pickled, it can't liquify, right?
