Are y'all sure about the zoned parking thing? They do this tricky thing over by Seattle Center, where it's 2 hours only 7am to 6pm, and NO PARKING without the permit after 6, but of course that part's in tiny letters. Read the fine print...

Does anyone know just how bad the parking situation really is? If I'm remembering the area correctly, there's residential all around...does it have zoned parking because of the proximity to the UW? This question is, of course, based on the ludicrous assumption that pub club has been correctly called on a Monday.

hehe. that one I actually know. from a dildo in "Naked Lunch" by William Burroughs. do I get a ?

I'm going with Dru on this one. These are two of those words in our language that change meaning depending on the speaker, the context, etc. People who have "climbed" Mt. Rainier will also say they "climbed" Mt. Si, while others will say they "hiked" Si or "ran" Si. Do what you love, call it what you like, and if someone takes issue with your verbiage, pity tha foo.

A cockle is a type of mollusk, and it's got sorta kinda heart-shaped valves...how we translated this into meaning the depths of one's heart is anyone's guess. I, for one, need a lot more to contemplate that. Maybe a topic for next week's p.c.

wow...took me until the very last word to realize that you weren't talking about my climbing buddies. just send your roommate to work at rei or feathered friends or something like that. the first "hot climbing guy" who comes in after a week long trip and pulls his money out of his sock will cure her for good.

uh-oh...someone's gettin' in trouble for mentioning a pub club not just one week out, but *gasp* a whole month!

all I can say is, thank you REI credit card. hey, you're spending all that money anyway, might as well get a hundred bucks to spend at the end of the year.

don't blame catbirdseat...it's true. however, the place they go After the gas station tends to be a store to put hundreds of dollars on Your credit card, then to another gas station to test it again. the upshot of this system is that after the 2nd or 3rd gas stop within a couple of hours, credit card companies tend to put a hold on the card because they know about the pattern too.

somehow going climbing seems to be the least possible outcome on that flowchart...something is wrong here!

but how could we all live without 'the bachelorette'????? so 'the stranger' has a petition going to declare tim eyman a horse's ass...how do we get one started to get carrot top declared unfit for human consumption?

10 under first try...not bad. that's a fun diversion.

Who's complaining about fights? Looks like it took less than 12 hours for one to break out.
