Housekeeping Slog Happy! Tonight at King's!

Posted by Megan Seling on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 11:32 AM

Slog Happy is tonight at King's Hardware in Ballard, 6 pm! Their happy hour goes until 7 pm with $2 pints of Hamm's, $5.50 sliders, and $3 wells, and they have a fantastic patio and Skeeball. They've got a pretty decent jukebox, too!

Don't you want to eat this cheesy, messy burger!? Then come to King's!

Would it be OK if I had Swiss instead of American cheese? American and mushrooms is kind of wrong.

I'm going to pretend it's made from Lizzie's buttock while I'm eating it.

Sounds good.

Um, a big messy cheeseburger with onion rings looks a lot better than the Garden Burger and veggies that I'm eating right now. Sigh.

I don't think I've Skeeballed (new verb!) in years but I'm excited to try.

I will try to not sing "Skeeballin'" to the tune of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" but no promises.

@5:

See, now even if you don't I'm going to have to. I'm doing it in my head right now.

Due to thunderstorms in Dallas, my dinner with clients tonight is cancelled~

See ya all there!

Posted by wisepunk on June 11, 2009 at 12:16 PM

@5: Thanks for that. Now I keep singing some sort of deranged Weird Al/Petty mashup in my head.

Posted by Jessica on June 11, 2009 at 12:17 PM

@5 Yeah, I'm actually going to REQUIRE that you sing that tonight.

@3:

You can sub either a Turkey or Garden burger for teh cow at King's, and they don't even charge you extra!

Goddamn that looks good. I'm going to pretend that's cheddar, and not what Fnarf said.

Posted by Dougsf on June 11, 2009 at 12:19 PM

@1 that's good old tillamook cheddar cheese, friend. :)

Turns out I'll be in Ballard to go to the dentist, but I've got SIFF movies tonite and I'm saving spots for friends, so see you all next month.

Sing Freebird.

Nobody cares, Will. We all know you're that douchebag who eats, sleeps and showers wearing his SIFF badge. It's the polar opposite of impressive.

there is totally a joke about free ballin' SOMEWHERE in there.

Posted by alithea on June 11, 2009 at 1:35 PM

Ah jeez, what have I gotten myself into? I don't even know the words to that song. Tell you what, guys, if it's on the jukebox (and there's a decent chance it is) we can have a big Slog Happy sing-along.

Oh, and 16: That's usually the version that goes through my head when I hear the song at work. Listening to music you didn't choose all day does strange things.

Orig. Mo.: If you're coming tonight, will you find out if your man still wants to borrow American Lion?

Posted by leek on June 11, 2009 at 1:43 PM

go to bobrivers.com - Freeballin has been done as a parody already. Good stuff.

Posted by willisreed on June 11, 2009 at 1:51 PM

@15 - I love you too, Mr. Poe.

Remember, you're not allowed to smoke on their deck. Take it out front and down the street.

I'm afraid of Ballard *and* cheeseburgers. I live in constant fear of being attacked by angry Vikings who will force-feed me an undercooked cheeseburger and give me e-coli. But I'll try to make it to Slog Happy anyway.

ugly, fat hipster alert in Ballard!

Posted by there's no coke dealers in ballard so bring your own on June 11, 2009 at 3:35 PM

@23: You're totally right. I better hit up my coke connection before I go HAVE DINNER IN A BAR.

Sigh. Sometimes I wish we did the kind of shit you imagine we do.

David Bloom will be there tonight! if you want to rock out with him and talk to him about how great it'll be when he's on the City Council, you should be there too.
