Hey, where is everybody???? It's been 40 minutes since the last time someone posted in this thread!!!
We're slacking off!

 

[sm4him]

I have about 10 minutes before I have to leave; I just finished what I was working on, and don't really have time to start the next project.

 

[sm4him]

So I guess I'll just postwhore until time to go.

Some more fun stuff from our local paper:

In an article about "Boomsday," our annual Labor Day fireworks festival, it said, "Celebrate 20 years of jaw-dropping fireworks…"

I didn't go. Twenty years seemed like a little too long for the fireworks to really hold my interest.

A benefit lunch for United Way article:

"Free popcorn and ice cream will be available for 50 cents."

 

[sm4him]

I tell myself this one was intentional, and clever--but I know our local paper too well to really believe that:

"Peanut Butter Problem Spreading"

Headline:

"Body of Suspected Cop's 3rd Wife Exhumed"

I don't know if they ever figured out whether he was a cop or not.

Another headline:

"Man who stole park ranger uniform, fun sought"

I hate it when people steal my fun!!

 

[sm4him]

In an article about a local man wounded, I think, in Afghanistan. This was in our local PROFESSIONAL paper, folks; you can't make this stuff up!

"He was in fatal condition, but has been upgraded to critical but stable."

"Former Knoxvillian Cormac McCarthy wins Pulitzer Prise for Fiction"

Not a local story, but one my boss sent to me several years ago because it's transit related.

We hate Seattle's Trimet here. Because they are awesome and seem to just be everything a transit system should be. So naturally, we hate them.
Therefore, any chance to make fun of them, you have to take.
In 2007, they began a new line along the downtown waterfront. They named it the South Lake Union Trolley.

After a local coffee shop (NOT Starbucks) began selling (and selling out of), "Ride the SLUT" tshirts, it didn't take long for them to change it to South Lake Union Streetcar.

Okay, gotta go. Might check back in before bedtime, depending on how late choir practice runs tonight!
