Seattle Folklife 2010

We spent some time at the Seattle Folklife festival this year. Among the characters, there was this guy offering to take a punch in the gut for $5. Donna was excited about this but after watching him take a punch, she decided to give him $10 and just kick him in the nuts instead .

Lita Ford and Queensryche

I got a call from my friend Layne last week and he had some passes to go see Lita Ford and Queensryche in Spokane. An hour latter we were on the road to see the show. After a little episode with failed air shocks, and car swapping, we were on our way again.

It was a good time. Thanks Layne.

Here are some of my pictures from the show.

Who Needs Chrome

So some of you spend every last penny you have on more chrome while others spend all their time powder coating their whole bike black, but I think that this guy really has it all figured out.

Click on each picture to enlarge, this is a real bike.

Hmmmm… I wonder how he fills up with gas…. I think I figured it out.

Mother Convicted of Obscenity

May 13, 2008
In a unprecedented ruling today judge Natas Mai convicted Mother Nature of lewd and obscene public displays.  Nature was sternly reprimanded and forced to “Clean up her act”.  A spokesperson from Christians against obscene stuff (CAOS) rejoiced and immediately started speaking in tongues as the verdict was handed down.

“I really don’t really understand what she is saying”, says a 46 year old aspiring actress and lifelong Seattle resident, “but I know she speaks the truth and her ancient words must have been divinely inspired. I just wish divinity could be handed out in English or maybe Spanish sometimes”.

Lawyers for Nature argued that the penis cloud was just an accident and could happen to anyone but Judge Natas was not convinced and scolded Nature for her indiscretions. This was not the first time that Nature has “screwed up” according to the Judge, referring to an old case in which Nature tempted a young girl with beautiful apples which she latter fed to her common law husband forcing all humanity into eternal damnation. Nature has just not learned her lesson.

Grizzly Vs Harley

This grizzly was hit by a Harley on Lolo Pass. This is the pass between Lolo Mt and Kooskia, Id. The biker spent 3 days in the hospital but made it through OK but the hogs a wreck.

Moral of the story, Don’t go bear hunting with a Harley, they don’t last more than one hunt.

Six More Weeks of Winter

Phil Says “Six More Weeks of Winter!”

Phil’s official forecast as read February 2nd, 2009 at sunrise at Gobbler’s Knob:

Hear Ye Hear Ye
On Gobbler’s Knob this glorious Groundhog Day, February 2nd, 2009
Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Prognosticator of all Prognosticators
Awoke to the call of President Bill Cooper
And greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths
After casting a joyful eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
Phil proclaimed that his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers were World Champions one more time
And a bright sky above me
Showed my shadow beside me.
So 6 more weeks of winter it will be.
