Oh Seattle, you silly silly city. You would think that being the largest city in Washington that there would be someone hired on the city staff that was a big enough pervert to work through most of the acronyms that are simply too inappropriate for general use. Still, I guess one snuck through. For those of you who have ever visited or lived in Seattle, you know that everything is horribly congested downtown (or everywhere as a matter of fact). Traffic is horrendous and you need to plan on leaving at least an hour in advance if you want to go anywhere. So along those lines, any sort of public transit would be a good thing right? Yep, unless it happens to be name the South Lake Union Trolley.
 I'd ride the S.L.U.T. ! A local coffee shop in true Seattle fashion had taken it upon themselves to create T-shirts for the inaugural ride of the S.L.U.T., and rest assured you know I have one being sent to me. I began thinking though, maybe this is just the wake up call we need down here in Tucson in order to spice-up public transportation. What I mean is, everyone likes a S.L.U.T. With their fast, efficient service and reasonable prices. Plus, they can take on and accommodate many people at the same time. Jeeze, I want a S.L.U.T.! But it wouldn't work so well in Arizona. Seattle has dibs on the S.L.U.T. What could we call it here? Possible names include: 1) Street Kar And Neighborhood Krosser (S.K.A.N.K.), or 2) Working Hours Over-Road Express (W.H.O.R.E.). Either way, I know my morning commute might be more economical (and fun) if there were more S.L.U.T.s in the world. |
