So is there to be a Slog sorta-happy after the Mariners game, or not?

Because if not, you have successfully guilted me into going to SAM instead...

And in other news:

Virgin Atlantic plane spends four hours on tarmac; passengers freak out.

Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick indicted on 19 fraud, tax charges.

LaToya Jackson: Still crazy after all these years.

Jack Abramoff: Just call him "Pizza Dude."

What would you most like to see in 3-D? Playboy magazine thinks it knows the answer to that.

And maybe Fnarf can weigh in on whether it's acceptable to put ketchup on your lion burger.

So why the deafening silence on Slog about
Gary and Tony's
NEW BABY?

It's all CNN has been talking about for days.

Surely Dan is not pouting
because he has been dethroned as
America's Official Lovable Dimple-Cheeked Gay Dad?...

Dan is not still sore at CNN because Joy banned him from her show, is he?

Seafair Pirates have a great rolling ship with cannons, but the sods who step up to play the pirates are like if you went around the Pioneer Square places on a Saturday night and pulled out the oldest guys at each one.

I can't imagine a burger of cat. Ewwwww.

Oil Companies own the south and own conservative politicians. Democrats need to take advantage of this, hardcore, down dirty!

I went to the Mariners game yesterday and have NEVER seen traffic so snarled through downtown. Glad I was on a bike.

@9 that was partially due to the protest at 2nd and Madison, which blocked the intersection for a time:

And you just missed one of the greatest World Cup games of all time, as minnows Slovakia knocked the World Champions out in a 3-2 thriller. A STUNNER. Many late goals -- it was 2-0 late. Lots of fighting too -- Slovakia are as dirty as the Italians, which is saying something.

Holee! I left the house it was 2-nil Slovakia. There was only 10 minutes left. I thought sure it was curtains for the Azzuri. I suppose in the end it was but not in the manner I had assumed. Will definitely check out the replay.
