this tree down the alley is being cut down today. i am unhappy. we go way back. i can see it from the front porch, from the backs. sometimes it makes me dizzy but most of the time i love watching it, always in motion.

>> Favorite Radio Show

Dave: For some weird reason, the David Lee Roth morning radio show (now defunct). DLR replaced Howard Stern’s time slot at KROQ after “the king of all media” made the jump to satellite radio. I’m not sure, but I don’t think that David Lee Roth had too many credentials other than the fact that he was a wacky personality that used to tear shit up in the 80’s as the frontman of Van Halen, but for some reason KROQ thought it would be a great idea to give him a daily weekday show at 6 in the morning.

Don’t get me wrong, this show totally sucked ass in a major way. I used to show up to Battles practice and bitch about how lame the show was that morning. I used to want to call in to the show to tell him how much I thought he was the shit when he was in Van Halen and how much he totally sucks now. His jokes were wicked lame, his stories made absolutely no sense, his whole staff sucked, and he would play really lame music while he talked over it. I totally hated this show, it was like listening to a car crash every morning. It only lasted for a couple months, and as the show got older and people kept calling in and doggin’ DLR, the higher-ups at KROQ started to take more stuff away from him, he could no longer play that lame music while he talked; they took away his staff and replaced it with a super-dry Australian guy that had absolutely no chemistry and nothing in common with DLR. Towards the end he was a defeated man; he was fired and the show was taken off the air.

However, almost a year and a half has gone by, and, in retrospect, I now realize that David Lee Roth was really trying to push some boundaries, and as much as his show may have sucked, he really managed to, for better or worse, strike a chord with me. I started to feel bad for him towards the end of the show, I felt how he realized that there could be something better than your average “Mike and the Mad Dog” type shit and he strived for something outside of the box, and the higher-ups cut him back down to size. Thus, DLR is my, in recent memory favorite radio show, he was a man that stood up for mankind and held a mirror up to those fat corporate cats sitting in their cushy office chairs in their safe well-constructed glass boxes that they work within and in a way, said, I dare you to challenge the state of this dystopian society that we’ve created for ourselves. DLR was, to your average plumber in New Jersey, unsuccessful in his attempt at being a radio show host, but to the artist that dwells within all of us, he was a beacon of light.

YAAAAAOOOWWW

Q: Who are you splitting this ounce with?

A: My roommate’s ex-husband and this guy who’s kind of a shut-in.

can’t decide between uhh and i call bullshit, so here it goes:

from the IT help desk manager:

Do we install the software or do you? If we install it, where is the software available?

give me a goddamn fucking break you perennial asswipe.

so yesterday i did the manual labor until like 9pm. drywall, framing all the shit. then i was like, i think i’ll go climb a 12300 ft. mountain. (this is where things get gringi5h!)

so i pack my pack, pack my pipe (exhaust pipe with a banana. that joke is still funny even when it’s my car!) and i drove up to the mt. got on the trail solo at 10:38 last night (course nobody wants to night hike. wtf). hiked till 12:25. threw the bag down to sleep at like 11300 ft. smoked, perfect. woke up at 8. summited and back to truck by 12::22 this afternoon. anyways, 2 things happened. chipmunks almost ate me alive in the fashion of a swarm of red ants or giant flock of birds. on the summit, those fuckers were after me. well, basically i stayed still and then they started crawling on me and licking my sweat. grooooosss! OMG!

so i thought, hey, i’m like the chipmunk whisperer (heady points?). BUT THEN. walking off the summit, oh look what is right in the trail on the ridge of a mt... a big fucking big horn sheep. he was pissed. he was sort of tryin to step to me. which is hilarious because as brett knows, when you hike alone, especially at night but really anytime, you will have a recurring thought about an animal attacking you and you killing it with bare hands, a walking stick, and your knife. always the knife. then you’d be on the cover of a local newspaper and you mentally write the outline for the story and think about the quotes you’ll say to the reporters. brett, if i’m wrong, tell me. so last night i was thinking if a big horn started charging me, my quote would be “hey, i just gave it the matador treatment, i held out my pack, let him hit that, then sunk my knife in his side and his momentum ripped him open from shoulder to hip. no big deal, this sort of thing just happens in the wild. ”

so there the sheep is, and i’m like “hey, dont ram me” and he keeps like walking closer to me trying to punk me. meanwhile i have my knife in one hand and my cam in the other. and i was near a tree i figured i’d use for cover if shit got real. i remember mentally changing the newspaper story to incorporate the tree, while it was happening. but i just gave him space and he chilled.

i mean in a good way.

much of the comments on slog sound like something off of Rush Limbaugh’s website anymore.

I think I am just going to stop posting anything else. It really is arguing with the mentally retarded.

Cato @8—are you a NW native?

You used this odd colloquialism in your post I only hear from Seattle born and raised. You use the word “anymore” in an affirmative way, rather than negative. In my mind, “anymore” is what you say when the sentiment is negative or something has ceased to be a certain way. “we don’t do that anymore.” Your sentance above sounds strange to me, I would have used the word “nowadays”.

Everytime I hear “anymore” used this way, it always stops me in my tracks. The only people I have heard say it are natives, like my friend and his mom, both of which are from Seattle.

Just curious....

Yet in a few hold-outs, where history played odd tricks, Art Deco still dominates. Their names are surprising: Napier in New Zealand, rebuilt in one go after an earthquake in 1931; Miami Beach; the Eritrean capital Asmara, a masterpiece from the age of the brief Italian empire.

dear lady at work whose mother and husband died on consecutive days: even though you are mean and terrible to work with, i am still very sad for you.

oh man, that baseball story.

i know. sorry
