Fixed the image for ya, Prol'chik. I shit bigger than you

Dunno about that, but it's definitely a bad thing to be unhappy 24/7 - which pretty much sums up Prole and GGK

Ah yes, thank you for the chance to both revisit this late-summer gem and for the opportunity for a 'teachable moment'. You see Fairweather, the humor in the post derives from what we call a 'play on words'. The word 'stroke' carries a double meaning here, taking on its usages both to hit a baseball and to denote a cerebrovascular accident. The wordplay here takes on a playfully sardonic dimension when considered in the context of the Mariners' continued mismanagement and epic suckitude under Wedge, who as it seems, was more interested in sucking on chili dogs and Kools during his tenure than bringing this ragged shitstain of a franchise close to something remotely resembling .500. I hope that helps. There is no humor in your stroke post, no matter how you try to adorn it with prose. You're not funny or clever - you're just a douche-nozzle, pure and simple.

And how's that different from what you're working with now? FW: I recommend full-strength DEET. It should keep the gnat at bay.

Did someone say T and A?

I love it how healthy behaviors (not smoking, bike commuting, healthy diet, etc...) will get one branded as a full-fledged member of the liberal elite. Maybe I'm just a guy of modest means on a 10 year old $400 dollar aluminum frame Specialized commuter bike. The 2500 lb Nissan tears up the road more. Let's tax bikes proportional by wear and tear. The 20lb bike will be taxed at 20/2500 the rate of the Nissan. Seems fair to me FW! Something...ANYTHING would be a great start. Anyone know how many tens of millions will be spent for bicycle mitigation on the new 520 bridge so Rob can ride his bike? Maybe bicyclists should start paying a toll too. money well spent. the more who bike on the 520, the better it is for the fatty in the car - less congestion, faster drive time.

Tax these damn peds!

Ha. And car drivers are always so good about stopping for ped's at crosswalks. In that dumb "news" story clip, there's like three cars that don't yield for the reporter before one cyclist goes by. But cyclists ARE OUT OF CONTROL. In Kirkland somany pedestrians get hit by cars a year, that many intersections have bright orange flags on each side of the road for peds to grab and hold high when crossing so dumbass drivers might see them better.

I usually drive when I am in Seattle and I find the majority of cyclists there to be just fine, FW

A cheaper alternative. Like the Walmart Pup Tent, it's functionally equivalent.

is one of the new Mountie 10 essentials...

you fit in perfectly to spray

the problem is that you and FW seem to think that Obama deserves the same level of scorn as GW, which is just insane. Certainly there is tit-for-tat in politics but accusing both sides of being the same is just madness. The democrats have never used a government shutdown to get their way, for isntance -- not even during the darkest days of the bush administration. Obama is not doing "the same things" that Bush did -- not by a long shot. Typical.

stagflation malaise yes yes we all know the symptoms. are you implying he was the cause? seemingly fairweather was. Honestly it's all ancient history now. Our problems today seem big enough to warrant more attention than the US economy in 1977.

Agreed. I disapprove of the latest shutdown not only because it is the wrong way to proceed/behave, but because it sets up a tit-for-tat where the Dems will just do the same back when the tables are turned. I should say more accurately that it *continues* a partisan tit-for-tat. This pattern is not going to end anytime soon.

stagflation malaise

your guy should fix it, especially after all the whining your side did during GW's years in office. he hasn't, and you are silent. sorry, but your complaints now are just crocodile tears First of all, Obama is not "my guy" -- have I ever said he was? I'm certainly not a democrat. But, regarding being silent -- I can't speak for most democrats, but most liberals are furious at his domestic surveillance and drone programs. At least, I am, and so are most of the liberals I know. We certainly don't consider Obama to be "our guy" -- and I think most of his base is similarly disappointed in him. Just because you think things doesn't make them true. It amuses me that you and FW can't seem to have an honest critique of both presidents, but instead have to pick "sides." Defending Bush is a pretty hard sell, so I have to give you guys credit for sticking with it. Good luck! Randomly read political posts from Spray 6-8 years ago. Look at the volume and hysteria of the anti-Bush "outrage". You may find you posted some of those posts yourself. And now? For those same issues now that Barry is running the show. That's right, crickets. That's the point.

that was the synopsis

POTD

But if he snorted coke at the Muir Hut he'd be cool.

I think we overuse the word "lie". That applies to Barry, Bush, and Bubba by their detractors one and all.
