City / Media It's in the P-I Yearbook

Posted by Eli Sanders on Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 6:10 PM

At Saturday's off-the-record wake for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer I paid an undisclosed—off the record!—sum for a digital copy of the amazing P-I Yearbook, a collection of wonderful photos from the newspaper's past that delivers, on its second page, the beginnings of an answer to the age-old Slog question: Who was the P-I pisser?

Longtime readers will recall that in 2007, reports surfaced that a bunch of drunken P-I staffers had celebrated a Hearst court "victory" over the Seattle Times Company by renting a limo, pulling up to the Times headquarters, and watching as at least one of them pissed all over Frank Blethen's property. Longtime readers will also recall that as soon as we heard the piss reports we here at Slog headquarters demanded the security video and conducted a poll of the likeliest suspects.

We were never able to crack the case, but more recent readers may recall that additional clues surfaced this month when none other than Joel Connelly (pictured at right in a P-I Yearbook photo that I suspect will show up again on this blog) tried to claim on KUOW that the people of Slog had voted him Most Likely to Have Pissed on The Seattle Times—when the honor actually belongs to former P-I staffer Melanie McFarland.

This was suspicious behavior on the part of Connelly, certainly. Perhaps an unconscious guilty plea? But the new photographic evidence obtained from the P-I Yearbook suggests it wasn't him.

So questions remain. Or, really, one question remains. Click on the above piss image to enlarge it and tell us, 'o sharp-eyed citizens of Slog: Whose ass is that?

He's way too short too be Art Thiel. You can eliminate that suspect. Jim Moore maybe?

At least there was no shoplifting of any of the liquor bottles in that picture.

I have a pretty good idea....

I think it was Sarah Palin's younger gay brother.

Not David Horsey, looks a little too thick.

The lack of visible ass-crack tells me that it's not Connelly.

I'd hit it.

And who's that reflected in the window above his left shoulder? That might narrow it down.

the pissing is no big deal

but the meaty ass looks VERY inviting

are there any reports of butt fucking on company time at the old PI?

inquiring minds want the TRUE historical accounts about late night male staff, on that roof by the Globe on a nice summer night, hmmmmm...

As piddle goes, that is about 2 quarts

The guy is a beer drinker, good bladder, nice butt, nice stance, and most likely did not finish all the buttons and/or zipping and who cared. nobody

Not at the PI
