Miscellaneous: July 2009 Archives

There isn't much going on here at Seattlest today, many of our writers have punched out early for the long holiday weekend. Some are off enjoying the sun, tracking down fireworks or doing absolutely nothing at all.

ZOMBIES WALK AGAIN!: First it was zombies on Cap Hill and now the streets of Fremont are expected to be littered with the living dead at Fremont Outdoor Film's Red White & Dead Zombie Party. They will be assembling record-breaking zombie masses (anyone can join), in an attempt to beat the Guinness World Record for largest walking zombie mob. Afterward, the gruesome group will meet zombie book authors, listen to zombie bands, try to dance like the zombies in "Thriller" and watch the romantic zombie comedy film,"Shaun of the Dead."

Hellevators are like bug zappers, you never notice them until something gets fried.

I cannot tell you how low I think your virtual rag has sunk with the story you ran on June 16. The victim of this accident perished from his injuries on June 24th in the ICU at Harborview. He was one of my closest friends, always a gentleman and the least grumpy human being I have ever met. There are no excuses you could ever give that could alter my low opinion of Seattlest.

We know you're all celebrating your national holiday, so you won't mind us wishing you this so late in the day. We've always been enamored of you, considering we have family in Montreal and Toronto (the nice thing about Toronto is that it's so close to Canada! har har). And since moving here, we've enjoyed the fact that you're only two hours away...even closer than that impertinent Portland.

       

Our day trip to Mount Rainier yesterday was capped off by an exclusive photo shoot starring some of the mountain's more publicity-shy and fluffy residents. On our way out of the park, we saw four fox kits and a parental unit enjoying the evening sunshine on a hillside. With our telephoto lens, we could shoot from far enough away that they didn't trouble themselves with our presence. What followed was totally candid. And totally magic.

Because we don't want to deal with all the Twilight freaks who have made the tiny town a vampire nerd mecca. Look, we're not sure whether to pity Forks residents for having to put up with this bullshit or envy their ingenuity in coming up with new and exciting ways to steal these idiots' money during tough economic times.
