Report: Seattle Residents Awaiting Arrival of SLUT Trolleys
A new trolley line in Seattle has residents buzzing about its supposedly salacious name.

Officially, the new line along the downtown waterfront is the South Lake Union Streetcar, but that's only after its first name, the South Lake Union Trolley, or SLUT, was changed, locals told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Vulcan, the developer of the former Cascade neighborhood, said that the SLUT acronym is just an urban legend, but it seems here to stay, the paper reports.

"We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista at Kapow! Coffee house told the Post-Intelligencer. The local haunt already has sold out its first run of "Ride the SLUT" T-shirts.

Gregg Hirakawa, a spokesman for the Seattle Department of Transportation, told the paper the term "streetcar" was selected because it sounded more modern than "trolley."

Hello NBC.. is anybody there? Last Comic Standing is supposed to be a show about comedy. How 'bout showing some? In part of the show last week, you showed 1 joke! ONE?! UNO! And then in the head to head, Bill Bellamy did a "set" that was just as long as the comics on the show. Come on NBC. Geeze

Micheal Vick = POS

Rutgers Player Sues Imus & CBS Radio

NEW YORK - A member of the Rutgers women's basketball team sued Don Imus and CBS on Tuesday, claiming the radio personality's sexist and racist comments about the team damaged her reputation.

Vaughn was humiliated, embarrassed and publicly mocked for the comments, the lawsuit claims. Her attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said: "The full effect of the damage remains to be seen."

Are you kidding me? Money Grubbing Lawyers anything for a buck.

Verizon Highs and Lows

First the high.. got us some FIOS installed last week.. woo doggie.. more to come on that.

The low.. it's really Verizon Wireless. The wife needed to update her phone.. it was two years old and showing it's age. So.. we swung by the VZW store. First, the sales guy was creepy, like real creepy, then he proceeded to tell us that we were on a corporate plan, and he could sell us a new phone but it would cost us an additional $80. We should really go back to our company. OK.. what company? He couldn't tell us. Anyway.. I got home.. fired up the FIOS, did everything online in about 10 minutes. Thanks.. nice customer service.

On the customer service flip side.. I bought a new TV from Panasonic. They called the day after I ordered it, asking me to call them back to setup delivery. So I called back, the couldn't have been nicer, told me that the local delivery guy would call me on Friday or Monday. Well.. corporate called me back on Friday, apologizing that they delivery guys hadn't called yet, they were having computer problems, it wouldn't be until Tuesday morning that they would call. Uh.. OK.. no problem.. thanks for the call. Sure enough.. Tuesday at about 9:30, Jim called from the delivery company, apologizing for not getting to me sooner (are you serious?!), asking if it would be possible for them to deliver on Friday between 9 and 11 (2 hour window?! Whoa), sure.. that'd be great, then he asked if this was the best number to call so that the driver could let me know that he was a 1/2 hour away. A++ from Panasonic.. I think I'd buy from them again.

VZW still sucks. Not 100% with Verizon FIOS.. pretty close.. a couple of things tick me off.. but I'll try and get over it.

Jack and Dot got FIOS, screwed up their phone line, the internet would not work with any antivirus software running (including their version) Jack is still fuming that he paid for the whole house to be rewired with fiber optics and still got squat.... He is now back with AOL and DSL (which I am sure sucks just as bad)

Mountains white with foam

June is more than halfway over, summer is almost officially here. I've been through 2 commencements, 1 HS, 1 College, both too long, but what else is new. One of the highlights was at the FSC graduation when the singer was belting out God Bless America, and sang "From the oceans, to the praries, to the mountains... white with foam... " Too funny. Then we were blessed with "Don't Stop Believing" which was fantastic... if you were deaf.

At the FHS graduation, someone had the brilliant idea to march them in at a snails pace, but I do have say, once they got in, it did move along at a pretty good pace.

In both cases, I could have used the beer belly. It might have been more enjoyable.

Excel Tip

Need to change data that is in rows to columns? Or Columns to rows? Here's how:

Copy the data in one or more columns or rows.
Before you paste the copied data, right-click your first destination cell (the first cell of the row or column into which you want to paste your data), and then click Paste Special.
In the Paste Special dialog box, select Transpose, and then click OK.
You'll find theTranspose check box in the lower-right corner of the dialog box:

Starting with your first cell, Excel pastes the data into a row or column.

Notes

Columns and rows can not overlap. For example, if you select values in Column C, and try to paste them into a row that overlaps Column C, Excel displays an error message. When you go to paste a column or row, the destination area must be outside of the original values.
If you copy and paste data from more than one column, Excel places the data from the leftmost column on top. For example, say you copy data from columns A and B of a worksheet, and you paste the data into another worksheet starting at row 1. Excel places the data from column A in row 1, column B in row 2, and so on.
If you don't see the Paste Special command, make sure you right-click the first destination cell. You'll also find the command on the Edit menu. If you still don't see the command, make sure you're using Excel 2000 or later.
