  1. Can you feel it ,see it, hear it today?

    If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway

    You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast

    And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass

    It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright

    It's so groovy, it's outta sight

    You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet

    But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

    You want it all but you can't have it

    It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor

    So you lay down on it and you do it some more

    You've got to share it, so you dare it

    Then you bare it and you tear it

    You want it all but you can't have it

    It's in your face but you can't grab it

    It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin

    It's magit, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win

    It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain

    It's sad it happened and it's a shame

    You want it all but you can't have it

    It's in your face but you can't grab it

    What is it?

    It's it

    What is it?...

     

  2. or the battle of the sexes I'm refering too isn't as pervasive as I believed.

     

     

    it's pervasive i think. i remember bringing a girl home for the first time and the first thing she commented coming in the door was "how come you never clean that barbecue!"

     

    lol

     

     

  3. in other news i'm sure you'fe all noticed the underware ads for pro mountain sports.

     

    so what's mr nelson up to these days? is he turning that place into a boutique? extending lines of credit to hot young babes? they gonna be calling him "jimdaddy" soon?

  4. Safeco Field is a romantic place of raging hormones and emotions.

     

    well yes, but apparently your right to express those romantic feelings depends a lot on your gender preference:

     

    Lesbian kiss at Seattle ballpark stirs up gay-friendly town

    By MANUEL VALDES

     

    SEATTLE (AP) — Most of the time, a kiss is just a kiss in the stands at Seattle Mariners games. The crowd hardly even pays attention when fans smooch.

     

    But then last week, a lesbian complained that an usher at Safeco Field asked her to stop kissing her date because it was making another fan uncomfortable.

     

    The incident has exploded on local TV, on talk radio and in the blogosphere and has touched off a debate over public displays of affection in generally gay-friendly Seattle.

     

    "Certain individuals have not yet caught up. Those people see a gay or lesbian couple and they stare or say something," said Josh Friedes of Equal Rights Washington. "This is one of the challenges of being gay. Everyday things can become sources of trauma."

     

    As the Mariners played the Boston Red Sox on May 26, Sirbrina Guerrero and her date were approached in the third inning by an usher who told them their kissing was inappropriate, Guerrero said.

     

    The usher, Guerrero said, told them he had received a complaint from a woman nearby who said that there were kids in the crowd of nearly 36,000 and that parents would have to explain why two women were kissing.

     

    "I was really just shocked," Guerrero said. "Seattle is so gay-friendly. There was a couple like seven rows ahead making out. We were just showing affection."

     

    On Monday, Mariners spokeswoman Rebecca Hale said that the club is investigating but that the usher was responding to a complaint of two women "making out" and "groping" in the stands.

     

    "We have a strict non-discrimination policy at the Seattle Mariners and at Safeco Field, and when we do enforce the code of conduct it is based on behavior, not on the identity of those involved," Hale said.

     

    The code of conduct — announced before each game — specifically mentions public displays of affection that are "not appropriate in a public, family setting." Hale said those standards are based on what a "reasonable person" would find inappropriate.

     

    Guerrero denied she and her date were groping each other, saying that along with eating garlic fries, they were giving each other brief kisses.

     

    On Tuesday, Guerrero said a Mariners director of guest services had apologized to her. The team spokeswoman could not immediately confirm that.

     

    After the story broke, the Mariners were blasted by the sex-advice columnist Dan Savage, who wrote about the incident on the blog of the Stranger, an alternative weekly paper.

     

    "I constantly see people making out," Savage said. "My son has noticed and asked, `Do they show the ballgame on women's foreheads?'"

     

    Savage called for a "kiss-in" to protest against the Mariners.

     

    Web sites have been swamped with blog postings for and against Guerrero and her date. And the story has people talking in Seattle.

     

    "I would be uncomfortable" seeing public displays of affection between lesbians or gay men, said Jim Ridneour, a 54-year-old taxi driver. "I don't think it's right seeing women kissing in public. If I had my family there, I'd have to explain what's going on."

     

    "It all depends on the degree," Mark Ackerman said as he waited for a hot dog outside Safeco Field before Wednesday's game. "Even for heterosexual couples."

     

    Since the incident, Guerrero's job and her past have come under scrutiny. She works at a bar known for scantily clad women and was a contestant on the MTV reality show "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila," in which women and men compete for the affection of a bisexual Internet celebrity.

     

    "People are saying it's 15 more minutes for my career," Guerrero said of the ballpark furor, "but this is not making me look very good."

     

    In 2007, an Oregon transit agency chief apologized after a lesbian teenager was kicked off a bus when a passenger complained about her kissing another girl.

     

    Also in 2007, a gay rights group protested a Kansas City, Mo., restaurant they said ejected four women because two of them kissed, and a Texas state trooper was placed on probation in 2004 for telling two gay men who were kissing at the state Capitol that homosexual conduct was illegal in Texas.

     

    "There's a double standard. That's the bottom line," said Pat Griffin, director of the It Takes a Team! Education Campaign, an initiative from the Women's Sports Foundation to eliminate homophobia in sports.

    apparently it's not ok to talk to your kids about lesbians.

  5. Huge comic book collection stolen from Bellevue home

    By SCOTT GUTIERREZ

    P-I REPORTER

     

    Police are investigating the theft of 6,000 comic books reported stolen last month from a Bellevue home.

     

    The owner had stored his comic book collection at a friend's residence in the 10000 block of Northeast 15th Street. In the last six months, someone stole the collection, which was estimated to be worth at least $3,000, Bellevue police spokesman Greg Grannis said.

     

    $3,000 for 6,000 comic books? that's 50 cents a comic. isn't that like price new, or less?

     

    Police suspect that someone with ready access to the home took the collection because there were no signs of forced entry. However, police don't think the current residents were involved, Grannis said.

     

    It was unclear whether any of the missing comics would be considered valuable collectors' items, although it appeared nothing like a "first-edition Captain America" had been stolen, Grannis said.

     

    whew!

     

    That particular comic and other first editions of Batman or Superman published in the 1940s could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to several collectors Web sites.

     

    it's amazing the stuff you can learn on the internets

     

    Two weeks prior to the theft report on May 29, the annual Emerald City Comic Con, a big draw for Northwest comic fans, was held at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle. Police have no evidence that the thief tried to sell any stolen comic books at the event.

     

    leaving no stone unturned. nice work men in blue!

     

    The owner managed to find a private collector who purchased 1,000 of the stolen comics, possibly from the thief. A Bellevue officer planned to assemble a photomontage with a possible suspect's photo to show to the collector, Grannis said.

     

    hmmmmm. yeah that might be one lead you'd want to follow...

     

    The police report does not indicate how the comics were packaged.

     

    well i for one will be on the edge of my seat till i find out whether they were each individually wrapped in a clear plastic envelope.

     

    :nurd:
