Gary_Yngve Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Anyone else go? Good times! Last one I had been to was 2001. Lots more naked bicyclists, less political propaganda this time. Sorry, no pics -- my camera was MIA at the time, but has since been found. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Hmmm, now that I think about it, I might have seen her. In other news, I'll be wearing a suit and tie tomorrow. Can't remember the last time I've done that. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 i only watched about the first half. it sure was slow-moving. i wasn't close enough to the front to take any decent pictures so i didn't bother trying. nice day, though. Quote

chelle Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 The parade was not as good this year IMO. It is loosing that Fremont, anti-establishment feel. But this was the one of the coolest parade costumes there. You had to stick around to the end to see the robots. Photo courtesy of my SO. Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 agreed, the robot on stilts was be far the coolest thing there. I was actually surprised how little political propaganda there was this year. Quote
K_Y_L_E Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) Although the robots were great I think that there needed to be more anti-Bush stuff. Not the pres. I mean the hippy chicks that for some reason refuse to tend to their gardens. I thought a few were wearing fur thongs. Lots of cool body paint jobs though. Wonder woman rocked. and so did the Cheetas and the incredibles. I just feel sorry for the little kids sitting on the sidewalk who had to see that as their first naked person. " Hey, why isnt mine blue with polka dots mommy?" I agree though, it was a little slow. But on the corner in front of Costa Opa was great, not only did you get to see lots of everything there, but the guy (volunteer) who was yelling at people to get out of the street was very entertaining. I was very excited to see the crazy colorful bandanna guy, he is my favorite at any seattle event. I was however VERY unhappy to see him naked. not cool crazy guy, not cool. Scarves, thats what those things are called ( i think) not bandannas...whatever they were he was not wearing enough of them. Edited June 20, 2005 by K_Y_L_E Quote

catbirdseat Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 One COULD read a variety of things into that statement, but I won't. Quote

You can put your claws away... dudes can, and often do, tend the garden. I ain't no damn dirty ape. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted June 22, 2005 Author Posted June 22, 2005 hopefully it was a successful defense of your work. I was going to say yes, I was found not guilty, but Dechristo beat me to it. Current plan is to propose in Fall. I had planned on doing it in Spring but I was teaching for funding all year (got the dept's TA of the year award!), so I was slowed down. Then defend my thesis roughly a year later. But no, the suit was not school-related. As I said, wait for a TR. Quote
Chaps Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 Sweet! Who is the lucky girl you'll be proposing to? You didn't say it was a tux! Quote
catbirdseat Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 AlpineDave's girlfriend was on a bike! This probably isn't her as it was taken last year. 2004 Slide Show Quote
Dechristo Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Current plan is to propose in Fall. Gary, beware of your prospective in-laws tactics: My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year when we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, and my friends encouraged me. My girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me. That one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight miniskirts, and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when near me, and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister calls and asks me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she could not overcome and did not really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and could not say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned; I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top, she pulled down her underwear and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house and walked straight toward my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We could not ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!" The moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car. Quote

Gary_Yngve Posted June 25, 2005 Author Posted June 25, 2005 Sweet! Who is the lucky girl you'll be proposing to? You didn't say it was a tux! Propose my thesis. I haven't had a girlfriend for longer than two months since over six years ago. (And I don't see that changing until after I graduate.) Quote
