@1 it's not Slog's fault it's hard to come up with a word that starts with K for, say, DICK (Direct Inter-Cap-hill ???) or COCK (Capitol Over-City ???)
Best to direct your energy toward writing up a derogatory-towards-men competitor that's better than these (rather strained) examples.
I'm still calling it SLUT 2. Which will probably get me in trouble with everyone who says "You're not a real X if you don't use the word Y to mean Z." Kind of like that pop vs soda mutual masturbation argument, you know?
@8 We could really let that one take flight if it was the Capitol Hill Overground Advanced Dirigible. Who wouldn't want to ride a giant inflatable CHOAD?
Don't you know someone in the future mayor's office? Make it happen. We voted.
And we all know how much we love to vote on transit. In fact, I think this decision, like all transit decisions, is best done via ballot. This should just be an advisory vote. Then we can have the real thing.
Even so, I'm not sure I could handle the CUNT/TWAT recount fight though.
Look, the smutty anagrams are fun 'n' all, but I think it should really be called the Camel to enshrine Rasmussen's seemingly grudging support (and his mangling of the metaphor--it's "a camel's nose under the tent," not the whole bloody camel!). Plus, camels carry things (perhaps grudgingly).
Holy crap, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
For the record, I really liked C.U.N.T., B.I.N.T., and G.A.R.T. You just don't see "cunt" in print nearly enough; "bint" is marvelously obscure and I like obscurity; and Gay Area Rapid Transit is perfect (except it's not rapid transit now is it).
But I voted for T.W.A.T. -- TWelfth Avenue Trolley -- because, if the stars are right, it'll run along a Twelfth Avenue loop route after all.
CH STD
(Capitol Hill Streetcar to Downtown)
How about CHET, the Capitol Hill Electric Transit? I'd ride the CHET.

or
the Cap-hill Lightrail And Passage for short.
"How was your weekend?"
"Aw, it was great! I was riding the CHOAD sunday morning until it hurt!"
Also, I don't care what the streetcar is called.
He said cunt!
and clit!

are we hip and cool and sophisticated; or what?!
First Hill Urban Connector

I'm disappointed in you all.
"it's supposed to be up and running by late 2010"
but the linked Seattle Times article sez:
"build and operate Sound Transit's new First Hill streetcar by the mid-2010s"
Fremont Accessible Rapid Transit.
Seattle Hill Area Rapin Transit.
Casual Hookups And Sexual Types In Transit Yay!
I suggested PIMP yesterday....
MUNCH - Medical/UNion Stn/Cap Hill
PUNCH - Pill Hill/UNion Stn/Cap Hill
HUNCH - Hospitals/UNion Stn/Cap Hill
BRUNT - BRoadway/UNion Stn/Trolley
FAGG - First Hill/Amtrak/Gay Ghetto
why not get a bus and paint it with the word trolley?
service can start next week without a $100 million investment.
The follow-up to the SLUT.
Highly Efficient Rail Passage Escorting Seattleites?
as in, "HERPES is link between Downtown and Montlake"

How about Peripheral Uptown Seattle Streetcar-Circulator or PUSS-C?
