What kind of pussy whipped bitch brings his knitting to a baseball game? Apparently more than just this tool! Not only is he a guy knitting at the game, but it looks as if he's the best knitter of the bunch--he's almost done with his Mariners' home teal sweater! Note: the Mariners nailed every one of their target demographics in one single family photo. Asians, little girls, and a soccer dad who has a thing for knitting. No drinking or jeering from this group, just baseball and good old-fashioned family fun...and knitting!

Brian, we've seen all these pictures before. A few times. Maybe a thousand times. I don't want to discourage you from posting pictures, in fact I love the way it makes the blog colorful. But Jason is right, you can't unload your hard drive on us. We remember the good times, but shit it was less than five years ago, maybe we should take the Sunday drive down memory lane some other time. Until then keep your comments pithy and remember: name and town, name and town.

Art Thiel has had enough!

I'm glad that somebody in the Seattle media is spitting a little venom - Its about time.



Also, Scott Spiezio is "in the best shape of his life" according to his physique, he says.

Hey Scott, you know what? I don't care.

Its just about time for football and it looks like my man Stanbach is in the lead.

I just got tix to ND, USC and Wazzu too, screw the rest of the games...

You can now add "Armstrong" to that list.

Not only is he an awesome athlete, he's also a guy who's not ever afraid to speak his mind.

Nice job, Lance. The Tour isn't going to be the same without you.

Well Germany is a lot like the other european countries I ve been to except for a few things:

1. German is not a pretty language.
2. They are chimneys. Man I need to get back into big tobacco, they are going to keep them going strong for a long time.
3. Men wear capri pants a lot.
4. You don't see just jeans, they all have flair: extra pockets, coloring, stitching, patches...
5. The Taxi drivers drive mercedes.
6. It is a requirement that people wear noisy clothes. You can hear someone 40 feet away.
7. Personal hygene hasn't come much farther, you can smell them from 20 feet away.
8. People ride bikes, a lot. Lots of old people ride bikes, in normal clothes... its weird.
9. I tried a beer and it sucked, I think it must have been their equivalent of the beast. Updates on the beer later.
10. Two more hours until I can sleep, yeah, its been 26 hours now.

acp

I was looking through old pictures, and laughed my ass off when I saw this one. Not sure who did the photo editing, but it's pretty good.

If you haven't noticed Oliphant and Hallock are the newest members of the blog...bring it bitches!

Koren Robinson is such a drunk....

HOW DRUNK IS HE?

Some of these jobs are less than desirable...my fav is the Animal Masterbator.

Worst Jobs Ever! ...according to Work Hate

Ok, my last post totally blew...but I think this one will be worthwhile. I think...

The World Is Not Enough

Just imagine driving across the 520 bridge and get passed by a 139' megayacht. (note the top speed)
New joke...? "and then he got passed by a megayacht!" Not nearly as funny, but just imagine Colby saying it while standing in the back of the cafeteria and having a rain of 'boos' follow.

Ahh shit, hope this one doesn't get booted...

Remember a few years back when Josh Brothers was pissed because some guy beat him in the UW Talent Show by putting together a Rubik's Cube? That asshole has nothing on this guy.

And yes Josh, this is on the Internet. Why don't you learn how to do it then?

Mad props to whoever signed me up for the College Republicans newsletter a few years back. I still get their emails, and they refuse to take me off the list.

Ahh, Mitch Hedberg. I barely knew 'ya. Actually, I knew 'ya really well. Whoops.

WHAT THE FUCK?!? This web log or "blog" was created with this intention: a place for us all to post funny, original, informative, interesting, and/or creative posts. Because Scott's extremely long cut and paste of an Onion article about a guy complaining about how robots were not programed to not mess with his wife didn't fit any of the aforementioned criteria, I fucking booted it. Hell! while I'm at it, I'll delete all of them and include a link so you can read every hillarious article yourself:

In its place, I submit a more informative and slightly more entertaining article about things you'll need for a new puppy! Bon Appetit!

Since 520 is ending its useful life it may be susceptible to "wind waves and earthquakes"

Great, I can see it now. The next 60 mph wind storm blows through and topples 520 a la I-90 a few years back. That will make life just grand here in Seattle.

So how again can we stop the monorail and use its money (or lack thereof) for the bridge?

Enumclaw-area animal-sex case investigated
By Jennifer Sullivan
Seattle Times staff reporter

King County sheriff's detectives are investigating the owners of an Enumclaw-area farm after a Seattle man died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse boarded on the property.
Investigators first learned of the farm after the man died at Enumclaw Community Hospital July 2. The county Medical Examiner's Office ruled that the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse.

A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car that dropped the man off at the hospital, which led detectives to the farm and other people involved, said sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.

Deputies don't believe a crime occurred because bestiality is not illegal in Washington state and the horse was uninjured, said Urquhart.

But because investigators found chickens, goats and sheep on the property, they are looking into whether animal cruelty — which is a crime — was committed by having sex with these smaller, weaker animals, he said.

The farm was talked about in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people looking to have sex with livestock, he said.

"A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," said Urquhart.
The Humane Society of the United States intends to use the case during the next state legislative session as an example of why sex with animals should be outlawed in Washington, said Bob Reder, a Humane Society regional director in Seattle.

"This and a few other cases that we have will allow us a platform to talk about sex abuse of animals," Reder said.

What happened to Adam Wright? Does he not like this extremely informative and entertaining blog? I can't imagine living in SF is more fun than posting a few musings of his day! I can sort-of understand Andy and Vanos never posting anything; Andy because he has to pedal a bike to get a reading light to work and Vanos because we aren't funny at all to him...But Adam, get off your ass! You too Phipps.

Anyone else want to go to the Sonics-Knicks games? This is the first of what will be a book volume of articles.

I think the best part about this picture is where the bikini top is located.

It seems as though some of Bahor's old high school stories have made it onto the internet as legend.

All the before pictures were taken on the same night. I think it was Spring of '99. 

My power rankings may be gay, but........ 

Poop n' porn 

I think it's Katrin, but can anyone confirm?

Much like that gay Maxim contest, I want you all to come up with a caption for this picture.

Here you go, colby.

There's really nothing else to say here, other than that he's eating up internet space uselessly here and here.

Zsa Zsa Gabor is in the hospital after having a stroke. Somehow, I think that the London terrorist bombings should trump this, but we're idiots in America, and I'm sure that some people are checking on this more than they should.

There's irony in this post somewhere, I'm just not sure where.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Nate McMillan is leaving the Seattle SuperSonics to coach the Portland Trail Blazers. ESPN.com Insider Chad Ford reports that McMillan agreed to a five-year contract..

The Blazers late Wednesday night hired McMillan, who led the SuperSonics to the Northwest Division title this past season. He will be introduced Thursday at a news conference, the Blazers said in a statement.

McMillan's contract with the Sonics expired July 1 and the Blazers aggressively pursued him.
McMillan's departure comes a day after Seattle signed All-Star free agent Ray Allen to a five-year, $85 million contract extension.

"Our last compensation discussion detailed a proposal that on average would have made Nate one of the five highest paid active NBA coaches," Sonics president Wally Walker said in a statement. "While we made him a fair offer, we in no way begrudge Nate's ability to earn more than we could offer.

"Our respect and affection for Nate will not waver, no matter how paradoxical that he is moving to our Northwest rival."

.....................................

Personally I think this sucks, but more than that I think it was a terrible career move. My suggestion would be that Nate enroll in bail bonds courses at his local community college before signing the offer sheet. Nate joins a franchise in the midst of a decline so dire that it can only be reversed through a firesale of both the players and the management. Paul Allen may have struck gold at Microsoft, but everything he has touched since has turned into visual represenation of Ted Kennedy's liver.

I heard the clincher wasn't so much the cash as Allen's promise to give him a pit bull and whizzinators to better endear him with his new players.

...he is some sort of tennis-playing robot from the year 2034.

Congrats Roger, on winning your third Wimbledon. Now do me a favor and hit Richard Williams in the face with a serve at the US Open.

Bret Boone was designated for assignment today before this afternoon's game against the Rangers. Boonie was good in 2001 and 2003, but c'mon folks, people - baseball people - said that Boone had bulked up a ton before that "magical" year of 2001.

I don't know about you, but when baseball people in the steroids era say that you bulked up quickly, doesn't that suggest something? Since the beginning of steroid testing, Boone's numbers have gone through the floor. I don't have the time nor the energy after a drive back from Cape Cod tonight to run the numbers regarding his decline (Lookout Landing does that), so you'll have to take my word for it.

All in all, Brett had a good run of success in Seattle, but his cocky attitude and "if you don't like the way I lollygag throws to first, you can suck it" demeanor got on my nerves.

The one reedeming part of this whole experience was Boone crying to the media after being released. Its kind of like the bully (Boone) in the movies who gets his just desserts at the end of the film, while the kids he's abused and frustrated (every man, woman and child in Seattle) for the whole time (2004 and 2005 seasons) laugh and ridicule him (bendermenz.blogspot.com, lookoutlanding.com, niceguysfinishthird.com, ussmariner.com) now that the tables are turned.

Oh yeah, if you're reading this Jose Lopez, welcome to the club. Also Chris Snelling - welcome as well. Don't forget to wear flip-flops in the clubhouse shower - Ever since Spiezio's been here, he's been spreading fungus like its going out of style.

Oh yeah - its real nice to see Scott Podsednik - former Mariner Scott Podsednik be a possible All-Star. Thank you, front office.

I need a drink.

Six months to Christmas. 

I hope you all enjoy the new and improved site! It's a different color!

Its too bad that Bill O'Reilly didn't say this on the air.

Oh wait, he said worse. And it was heard by everybody on the Internet. Oh well.

Blair's post from yesterday is something that he and I have been talking about for awhile, and since I finally have the forum (and the time), I'd like to make a few comments about the Mariner fan base:

• Our fanbase is one of (if not the only) fanbase in all of Major League Baseball that has a higher percentage of women in it than men. This leads to a more female-centric marketing of the team. I'm alreadying rueing the day when the Mariners have the Tampax Mariner Matinee on Wednesday day games.
  
• Our fanbase loves to live in the past. Hey, remember the great "Refuse to Lose" campaign of 1995? Yeah, I do - it was great. But here's something to remember: That was 10 YEARS AGO. We need to move on. The same needs to be said for 2001. Great year. We didn't make the playoffs the following year. Move on.
  
• I'm not sure if people outside of Seattle realize this, but the Mariners are a team that hasn't been taken seriously nationally in some time (this includes the 2001 team). If we were tougher on the team and the front office (how about booing Adrian Beltre after he strikes out like a stupid asshole or criticizing Pat Gillick for signing Scott friggin' Spiezio?), it may motivate them to play better.
  
• We have fans like these that come to games: Thanks to lookoutlanding.com for the image
  
• Why is it that the Red Sox fanbase can vote Johnny Damon into the All-Star game past Ichiro? Doesn't anybody in Seattle realize that Ichiro only had a razor-thin margin with only a few days left in the voting? What's worse, Damon ended up winning the starting spot by more than 120,000 votes.
  

Overall, there needs to be a sense of urgency with this team. Chuck Armstrong, Howard Lincoln and their cronies have lulled the public into a sense of accepting mediocre baseball as being OK and relying on the relative successes of the 2000 and 2001 teams to keep people interested. I don't know about anybody else, but I don't know how much longer I can pay for a ticket to watch our team go down early 3-0 and lose 5-1.
