From The Bob Rivers Show.
In which the former rock magnate calls on The Almighty about water safety for "all those folks on the log boom who are drinking way too much," and asks for His guidance directing them safely and forthwith to Schick-Schadel.
Spiritually, and musically the song/prayer is a little dubious (Pat O'Day does own a big piece of the high-end rehab center) but at least it's a little easier to listen to than the goddamn Blue Angels...
Why doesn't O'Day utilize his shickle-shadle connection to abstain from his other nasty habit smoking. Saw him out at Snoqual casino and the dude appears to be a chain smoker, couldn't SS help him in that regard?

Seems to me from what Star claims is that SS may cure the symptom but not the addiction. As Mike Webb used to talk about all the time, unless the source of an addiction is removed, curing one bad habit simply moves it somewhere else. So Pat smokes like Jerry Lewis to compensate for the lack of BOOZE.

I'm no fan of Bob Rivers, but this song is GREAT! Very clever idea.

SeeFair coverage on KIRO? Are you kidding me. It resembled Wunda Wunda. Trying desperately to make this event seem exciting, old timers like Raible and O'Day repeated cliche's and descriptions that we've heard so many times it's ridiculous. Seafair needs to step into the present with an event that doesn't try to resurrect the past. Time for bye bye, take the Blue Angels, Raible and O'Day with you. How 'bout an event our Mayor would likely support, bicycle racing on Lake Washington, might help traffic a bit. Bwahaha

you're out of the loop, Bowser. yOU'RE LIVING IN THE PAST, FIIDO. I caught the seafair coverage from here in Monaco, (my laptop has that program that lets you watch your home tv from anywhere in the world) and they were saying that the big money is now flowing BACK INTO THE UNLIMITEDS- NOT AWAY from them.There is demand for races in Qatar ( a race thereis already scheduled i believe ) and in China. Get with it, you mangy curr.

Still lining your Monaco fantasy huh Tommy. Do you actually think that any one here believes that. Why don't you just fess up or may be even call O'Day and get yourself checked in to SS, cause dude you are the one living an illusion.

Bicycle races? we don't need any more CITY SPONSORED activities for the pampered, jackass bicycle community in our city. What a bunch of little narcissists. They thought they were going to own this town when McGinn moved into the Mayor's office, but they are finding out that the rest of us are pushing back against the bastards. Hydros at Seafair is timeless and great. I grew up listenign to O'day and all the cliches too. Sure we all wince now when we hear them repreated for the 2000th time, bu the cool folk still love the hydros and know that the new generation has never seen them before, or heard O'day;s and Raible's cliches. Quit your barking, Bowser, you old fleabag.

yes, we need more lazy out-of-shape folk watching machines running on dinosaur fuels.

Are you one of the priss-faced aggressive little pukes with your male buttcheeks on display in skintight spnadex, that zoom by folks on the sidewalks and violate vehicular laws on the street, endangering motorists and pedestrians, Johnny? Pumping your buttocks up and down on your racing bikes, yelling out names and obscenities to cars and pedestrians?
Posted by: Postcard from Monaco (Tommy008) | August 08, 2011 at 09:41 AM
are you the same guy that claims he makes "goo gobs" of money and doesn't have to live here anymore but stays somewhere in Seattle because you have some form of PTSD?
Posted by: Johnny Sombrerro | August 08, 2011 at 09:50 AM
When I first moved here in 1979 I thought Seafair, the hydros, the wretched Pirates, and the Blue Angels were anachronisms from the '50s. The same civic leaders who like to proclaim overloudly that Seattle is a "World Class City" keep enabling a series of events that is essentially the 1956 Frat Boy equivalent of the Soap Box Derby or the piglet races at the county fair. It's embarrassing.
Seattle is not the same city it was when it hosted the World's Fair. There are plenty of us out here who don't ride bicycles everywhere (or at all) but still think this annual civic masturbation is about four decades past its sell-by date.

Rednecks have NASCAR; Washingtonians have hydros. Not a fan anymore but what's with all the bashing? If people like it and some do, it's one small celebration among many. Get a life.

KS always has to make a response to whatever I post, no matter how trivial or unnecessary that response may be. I feel so special! To think that I can manipulate KS to expose that he's all ego and no intelligence. Thanks, KS. You made my day! :D
Posted by: The Glenn Beck Comedy Tour | August 08, 2011 at 12:37 PM
KS isn't even ego. He's a mosquito.
Why do people move to Seattle and then slam our legacy celebrations? I'm not a fan of hydros but not because they are "small town" or whatever. I am now an old person who prefers quiet and less pollution-spewing activities. To the extent hydros are fuel non-efficient, yeah, perhaps a good crew race would be better. But there's still a place in my heart for the grand old Seafair days: hydros, Blue Angels, grizzly over-sexed pirates (I got pinned as did most of us of a certain age in those days), an endlessly-long parade, and small parades in every community.
I wish we were the Seattle of the late seventies. It was a better time.
