This is actually the saddest place I have ever seen...

Posted: Monday, November 24, 2008



A few pics I found on my cousin "Stabwound" Joe's Facebook page. Took these pics a few years ago on an impromptu camping trip/road trip that ended in our being wanted by the State Patrol, and a bit of a car chase that also included Washington State Transportation road workers literally trying to throw their bodies in front of his Kia to get us to stop while we offroaded along side the freeway to get past a bit of a road block they had set for us. The pictures are of a resort on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, I took them just because I thought it pretty funny what the sign promised and what the place appeared to offer. Looks less like a fun place and more like a place where a man wearing a burlap sack on his head hunts co-eds year after year with a sickle. Anyhow in the end we did not stay there, and we did get away.

Holla!


One more thing, tonight I watched a show called "How I Met Your Mother" and it is officially the first time I have heard of a technique for sealing the deal with a woman called The Naked Man. They promise it works 2 out of 3 times. It is in essence where at the end of a date, you make an excuse to get yourself up to her place (Need to use the bathroom, want to see her fish tank, or maybe you suggest that you think the feds are tailing you) and then when shes not looking you strip naked and when she returns she will think it so funny, and will be so impressed by your bravery and spontaneity that she will sleep with you because she basically doesn't know how else to react. I am pretty sure in reality this would often end in a pepper spraying (my dad hit me with that stuff once, IT WORKS). So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried The Naked Man, or if I could talk any of you into it?

Carry on.

    Is manscaping recommended prior to pulling off "The Naked Man" or would you be displaying more confidence sans scaping?

    The Stabwound Roadtrip story is one of my all time faves. In a wierd way it sounds even funnier when you summerize it in a few sentences.

    This little blog we got goin keeps getting funnier and funnier.

    Also, "Stabwound" is a fantastic nickname. Pretty sure I would never confront a dude who goes by that name.

    In actuality, Stabwound Joe is a big teddy bear.

    BUT, he does throw a Stabiversary Party every year...

    Stabwound Joe is legendary. He is a beer drinking (you have to drink a lot of beer for it to be how you are described), part time bartending. full time long-haul trucking. BIG TIME karaoking. cousin who got the nickname after being stabbed by one of a car full of mexicans outside a bar here in Seattle. +nce conscious he was more upset about the fact that they stabbed through his good motorcycle jacket and his Diskman than he was about the 18 inch wound from sternum to weiner. and trust me when I say he shows off that scar as often as he can. He does throw a stabbiversary party every year where we go to his place and get fucked up and everyone is expected to gift him a new knife. by now he must have a few hundred knives, guess he is looking for the right one.

    much appreciated Wes, I love the story but wasn't sure if it would be funny to read. I'll have to work up a few more stories, I have plenty, many involving Stabwoud Joe.
