Congratulations on handling this properly. I've wasted many an evening trying to apologize for/control a drunken man. Sometimes people can only learn from experience.

Uh, any 7th grader could tell you the Emancipation Proclamation freed zero slaves. The states covered by the document were in a full state of war against the Union at the time the the Proclamation was issued. Not a single slave owner recognized the authority of Lincoln to free "their" slaves at all. That would have to wait until the end of the war.

@2 No offers. We still serve under overlord Cuban.

@5 When did you leave? The Metro hasn't been closed since I've been around, since 2006.

I can't believe this is happening now. The Fringe is associated with most of my best memories about Seattle - which take place when I was still living out in Monroe and driving down here with my friends for a bit of culture now and then. I moved here in 2004, after the fall, and I already have plans to move to San Francisco in September. FML.

Oh man, from the title I thought you were going to tell me that Ken Shram used to be a cool punk rocker back in the day.

@29 Here's a worse one.

One time I lost my phone in the U District and the kid who found it in the street called my mom. She works on the Metro system here in Seattle, and was trying to talk this kid into waiting for a particular bus and handing off the phone to the driver, who would meet up with her somewhere. She was taking so long to work out this scheme that the Good Samaritan in question eventually just gave up and hung up on her, and that was the last we heard of my old phone.

I mean, I love my mom and everything, but who does that? She could have had him drop the phone off at the L&F of the nearest building and solved my problem in 3 minutes. It was a brand new phone too.

I apologize on behalf of all Seattle for our incorrect usage of "please" and "thank you". But really, that's just the way we communicate. And I always know if I need something I can ask anyone in the street or on the bus, people do help eachother out here as long as you don't get too chatty.

Charles, I love you. If only my uptight Seattle sensibilities did not prevent me from giving you a big hug next time I see you.

It's funny, I was thinking "oh that is just classic Seattle" after reading this. The owner of the wallet didn't mean any disrespect with his statement. He was just stressed out and suffers the same horrific social idiocy we all do.

And "please" and "Thank you" are hardly social pleasentries. Those are words we use to communicate that we want someone to hurry up or get out of the way.
