Badger commented on It's Spring! Who's Ready for Street Harassment?.

I used to work at a video store at Pike and Boren - we were open until Midnight on week-ends, and I was on the closing shift. I was harassed almost every night on my way home. I had guys in cars follow me for blocks, I had homeless dudes telling me to "smile", I had drunk guys try to grab me - and call me names when I pulled away. If it happened to me, a not-particularly attactive, dumpy chick in her early 40's it can (and does) happen to anyone. It isn't about men thinking you are attractive, it is about men sizing you up as a potential victim - it isn't a compliment, it is a threat, and it fucking SUCKS.

If you are guy who harasses women please STOP. If you are a guy who witnesses a woman being harassed and you just stand around and watch it happen, then you are part of the problem.

Badger commented on Your Dog Sucks.

I love dogs, but my dog is an asshole. Because of this, I NEVER let her run around off leash (except at the dog park). If she were off leash and stole somebody's food, or jumped on them, or barked at them - I would feel terrible, and so should the people who allowed their beagle to harass Dan!

As a side note, when I was a teenager an unleashed German shepherd attacked me and I kicked it to death, so I am very aware of how terrifying an unleashed animal can be. It took me years to get over the PTSD and nightmares.

Keep your animals under control.

Badger commented on Watch SPD Liberally Apply Pepper Spray to Protester Faces.

When the police ask you to walk away, then turn your fucking back and walk away. What the hell is wrong with people that makes them do otherwise - especially considering the SPD's reputation?

I enjoy his art regardless of his personal beliefs, but I don't know if I would be comfortable purchasing it.

Badger commented on Capitol Hill Needs a Salad Bar.

@20 I went to Chops when I was in NYC last year. If one of those opened in Seattle I would be there every day, and I am a not a salad eater by nature.

I wish I could trade him some of his narcolepsy for some of my insomnia.

This nerd-on-nerd violence is getting out of hand.

Badger commented on Lunchtime Quickie: Because Sometimes People DON'T Suck.

Well behaved children are welcomed to sit near me - but if a kid is having a screaming fit while I'm trying to have a peaceful lunch, I don't see anything wrong with asking to be moved away from the noise.

Badger commented on And Now Let's Just Discuss This Picture.

Back in the 50's there was a big push to promote taxidermy as a hobby. I read many old magazines and am always seeing advertisments for taxidermy schools as well as learn taxidermy at home courses. I suspect that most of the shitty looking taxidermy pieces we see today are a direct result of those courses. Another thing that should be taken into consideration is that the animal skins dry out and warp over time, some of those pieces may have looked OK when they were freshly made, only to turn really horrific with the passage of decades.

Badger commented on Today Is Taxidermy Day.

So...anybody know where I can buy bulk taxidermy eyes by the pound? I want to cover a dress with them, but I can't afford to buy them by the pair at retail prices.
