You don’t want to be the second one in there.
I hear it takes a lot to pack them in tight.
There’s a que to get on (in?)
Qué?
queue*
This is what I call bad advertisement! No one will be ridin the Trolley! lol
I don’t know…I’m sure some people will be riding the SLUT again and again.
You know what they say about SLUTs…everyone wants a ride, and most of them get it.
I Soviet Russia SLUT rides You!
I Robot read this same comment from someone else here 3 hours prior to yours.
It was just as meh the first time.
robot from future, remember when you saw butt. is but and fake but is.
can i ride the SLUT plz? :3
Personally, I prefer your mom.
It’s not an advirtisement, as that’s not what the name of the trolley is. It’s an inside joke in Seattle…
An inside joke that is deserving some cumuppance.
…Doesn’t the “uppance” happen before the “cum”?
Not if you’re a whore.
Actually, the original name of the trolley was the South Lake Union Trolley, they even had govt. sponsored signs and news releases with that name. Then about two months later they realized what the acronym would be, took down all the signs and re-named it the South Lake Union Street Car. Unfortunately for the city, the original name stuck with the locals just because it’s so funny, now everyone calls it The S1ut.
It was less the name and more the SUV crashing into it that sealed its doom…
i live in seattle. this is isnt the official advertisement for the south lake union transit. its a big joke around here, though.
believe it or not the people here in Seattle love it
dude you have no idea, thats the ONLY reason we ride it
nice one Nate … then we’d have a Sloppy Lake Union Train
Just wash your hands after you get off the SLUT
For those who want a little more info,
This is in Seattle, WA. They have since renamed it to the South Lake Union Streetcar. The name you see in the picture was the rumored name and people ran with it. There were t-shirts for sale at one point.
Hence the small print on the poster?
In Soviet Russia, slut rides YOU!
Hahahaha this has actually been out for about a year now. Should have submitted it back then.
Sometimes you can’t argue with experience.
WIN
Officially, it’s the South Lake Union Streetcar. But once people realized what the acronym would be if you used “Trolley” instead of “Streetcar”…
They got excited and decided to make tacky t-shirts out of it?
Can I have one of those shirts? And maybe some Freedom Bread on the side?
Just don’t feed the trolley.
I see a new horror film:
INVASION OF THE MAN-EATING TROLLIES
Damn…. S.L.U.T.s!!
I think you mean trollop. LOL
I met the guy who invented the SLUT T-shirts. Nice guy. Still broke…
Yeah, apparently. Never been inclined to track one down myself.
The should’ve just named it “Desire”…
More like Do Not Want. The whole thing was kind of foisted on us by our mayor, who wants to redevelop that neighborhood.
Oh no, you missed my joke. *cries*
Reference to the name of a play by Tennessee Williams? I caught that.
STELLLAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ah…so he just ignored your joke…
I thought it was a Stella reference.
occassionally the urge over comes me…. it’s usually when I’m done sitting on the roof. You know, it’s hot as heck up there and I feel like a cat…
^ wishing he were a contender
^ drinking some Stella.
are toi?
On the roof?
Stop fiddling around up there!
Oh good
You had me concerned.
Would you like a beer?
I’ll have to take a rain check. I have to start getting ready to go to work here pretty soon.
*checks* Nope, it’s not raining.
*passes pob a Corona*
Drink up, darling.
You’re just trying to get me in trouble!
*drinks Corona*
.
*an hour later*
I’m not swear, I drunk! *hic* Why are all the books blurry today?
That’s ’cause you’re in the Censored Pornography section…
Working Blue.
*giggle @ Loz*
Well played!
*takes a Blue picture*
*posts it on the intrawebz*
If you drink Corona, it means you know nothing about beer…
Does this face look bothered?
Put a lime in it and pretend it’s not pee.
you guyz crack me up!!
It was raining in Seattle today.
I get your joke! Good one!
Mayor Nickels=Voter Fail
I can think of worse things to make a t-shirt out of…
Potato?
Satinism…
Herpes?
WIN
If you think herpes is a win…
you should try syphillis!
my fave!
*note to self: ride SLUT so that I can experience the true joy of herpagonnasyphiladia*
AIDS. Once you have AIDS, you’ll never look back.
do government aids count?
What about Aid(s) Workers?
How do you make a T-shirt out of aid workers? Don’t they drown when you try to wash the shirt?
Jarrod Fogel has aides.
In soviet Russia, AIDS has YOU!
Apparently, it’s a great way to lose weight
Apparently, so is cutting off your head. I hear it’s a quick 9 lbs or so… for the non-metric users… which is… only the Americans… I apologize.
… stones and pounds aren’t metric, sweetie.
Apparently, using less ellipses also helps you lose weight.
fewer*
And it’s a good thing I don’t need to lose weight then, isn’t it?!
OMG, the grammar nazi lives again!
I was making a reference to one of your recent comments.
I thought you were referencing my comment…
I really like dots….
Don’t you like dots?…
I think dots are great…
….
…
..
.
Sorry what? Me?
The grammar police never died… we’re still alive and kicking here on failblog.
Who are you kicking?
That dead horse they call Grammar. Poor, Grammar.
The ill-educated. Until they cry and plead for forgiveness.
So, you punish people for the failings of the educational system?
Sounds about right.
Uneducated and ill-educated have different meanings, loliepoop.
Was the “loliepoop” deliberate? Or was it a grammar fail?
What do you think?
In Soviet Russia, educational system punishes YOU!
A teacher can only open the door. It is up to the student to enter.
*hugs coyote*
prefix lesson.
ill- = wrong
un- = not
ok?
*coyote blushes, but enjoys it immensely.*
Absolutely. Everything else in life will.
The un-edumacated.
What’s wrong with satinism? I quite like my satin sheets.
See Good News fail.
I see nothing about satinism in the Good News fail. Nor did I before I made this comment..
Perhaps we are talking about Satanism? The religion founded by Anton LaVey and not a material that clothing and other such coverings are made from?
Spelling fail, and failure to catch the spelling fail when pointed out.
Go back, read it again. Satinism was indeed mentioned. And a few other
fabric related “isms” too.
Thanks Avis. This fella really is a dense one.
Charro was pointing out the typo. It’s satanism!
Heehee, I noticed that on the bottom too, now we need a picture of one of these t-shirts to add with the photo… maybe with someone wearing it AND riding the trolley, lol!
Actually… yes.
I’m still trying to track one down, but I have seen them around town. One of the guys at my gym wears it to work out in.
No, a local coffee shop owner decided to make a few bucks by selling tshirts that make fun of the street car…
Up there with the
Committee for the Liberation and Integrations of Terrifying Organisms and their Reintegration Into Society
C U Next Tuesday.
I know a few men who need directions to the next meeting.
Don’t we all.
perhaps handy maps are an idea..
I’d prefer GPS
I hear Tom-Tom makes a fabulous one.
Girl Positioning System?
Remember that ALL of her joints usually bend. There ARE multiple ways to comfortably ride your S.L.U.T.
I hate it when my joints bend. I shouldn’t make them so long, I guess.
I prefer a good old fashioned wake and bake with the bong, lol
I had a problem with them, but now it’s been licked.
giggity giggity.
Ok, that’s just confusing. A nonplussed smilie then a Quagmire reference?
It wasn’t supposed to be nonplussed… I blame that one on wordpress.
…You were just plussed?
He gave me surprised and plussed.
nice
Actually, it was originally the South Lake Union Trolley, even officially. Then some genius realized the error, and Trolley got changed to Streetcar.
Honestly, though, SLUS isn’t the greatest acronym, either.
So if I order a tshirt it won’t say S L U T on it?
Actually, it’s officially the Seattle Streetcar. Apparently “the SS” is better that “the SLUT”
This is false….. the project was originally called the south lake union trolley and was later changed to streetcar after the acronym was realized, I live near Seattle, and I’ve rode the slut once…. so far
Actually, it was originally named South Lake Union Trolley, not Streetcar. They had promotional materials printed and signs made before someone pointed out what the acronym would be. Then the developer hastily changed the name, but the original stuck among locals. Now it’s a local running gag, that nobody uses the new name, ever.
It was actually originally officially the South Lake Union Trolley. Then they realized what the acronym spelled, then a few days later they changed it. But the T-shirts were already made, and I still see people wearing them.
supposedly it was originally going to be called the South Lake Union Trolley but they changed it to streetcar when they realized the acronym.
Whatever was wrong with the town bike?
I don’t know, ask her the next time you venture up from your basement.
I have a basement?
No, your mum does. *sigh*
That…was genius.
*only just gets joke*
Grrrrrr……..
Here, have a cookie
I feel bad.
Did you buy a pack of cookies today or something?
I always keep spares. People seem particularly hungry for them today…
Can I….have another?
No, Oliver, now get back to being an orphan.
What a twist!
Poor puns, FTW!
I’m nesting… and occasionally hoarding.
Here, have a shiny.
*stares blindly at shiny object* ooooOOOOOoooooo… shiiiiiiiiiny
*Steals loliepops money while he/she is distracted*
*laughs uncontrollably* I’m a broke american! There’s nothing to steal!
*steals pride*
*steals virginity*
Oh thanks, that had been weighing me down socially.
No probs. That stands for anyone here, all you need to do is ask…
Damn… well atleast I still have my bra…
Don’t count on it…
*looks down*
DAMNIT!
WIN
Now THAT takes talent!
I cant stay mad now…
*Scurries off with cookie*
Send my love to your mother
Word to your mother.
I was about to make an untasteful “to your mother” comment, but decided against it
You have my gratitude.
So “cangrats” have ‘tudes?
(I’m still working on it…!)
I’m getting sick of your cangratitude, young lady.
*steals cookie* *eats cookie*
I would love to ride the slut.
Low standards FTW!
I would too. Just to say I had. =D
I’m not a lawyer, but the bragging rights for riding a slut are, as far as I know, not that tremendous.
I don’t like pubic transportation.
But how else can you spread your missionary message?
(You can tell ME your position, if you like.)
In a hammock, standing up.
Coyote, wouldn’t you rather it in the style of dog?
I like to take the pole position and finish last.
Lol, that sounds kinda racy — but I’m betting I best get of this track before a couple of fast pacers run my ass over (there might also be some mudders about to worry about).
Be wary of the fodders too.
Pole positions don’t break maidens, though I’m sure the exacta post time would be very satisfactory.
A neck and neck finish for the win. No photos please.
*stretches*
Most things here are a bit of a stretch.
*enjoys victory lap*
*gives the Admiral a victory lei*
I refuse to do a “mounting of the horses” joke.
Thanks for showing a modemcum of restraint.
Sadly, coyote doesn’t have a modem.
Admiral, you and I can use the restraints next time.
Ah my favorite thorn in the side.
How’s with you?
The above was for Dilly.
(psst, coyote … you best find some other moons to howl at … these folks are apt to step on your tail by mistake, seeing as how much pacing their putting themselves through about now)
They have t-shirts!
I want a ride-the-slut shirt!!!
Ask and ye shall receive:
Ride the Slut T-shirt
http://www.donkeyts.com/customize/6/491/
i love it!
t-shirts available to purchase online at http://www.ridetheslut.com, Enjoy!
and they make money out of it ?
Scandalous !
This is the better T-Shirt. The other one above has a San Francisco cable car, it’s a fake S.L.U.T., nothing worse than a tease.
Welcome to Seattle folks… where the city council think *EVERYTHING* through. *sigh*
Beats riding a v.i.r.g.i.n. any day.
It’s a lovely area, but…methinks me smells a RAT!
What does V.I.R.G.I.N stand for?
Virtually Intelligent Rolling Gurney In Norway?
Probably.

I think you missed a letter…
mmmmmmm……..nope. Don’t think so
Don’t be mean, he is innocent.
Not being mean. Just double checking.
Good to see you’ve taken your meds today, Dr Troll.
What meds? Oh… Oh! I knew that wasn’t a penny!
If he’d taken the meds we prescribed yesterday, he wouldn’t be commenting…
It stands for dabamash… didn’t you know? :p
*high five* good one
I’m taking far too many cheap shots tonight.
eh…it’s expected here
Not that cheap shots are a bad thing.
*lines up 10 jagerbombs along the bar*
Cheap pun.
It bombed.
*cries*
don’t cry, I’d give you my virginity, but you already stole it.
True.
Where I come from, riding the SLUT is not a FAIL, it’s an unmitigated WIN!
I come from Whoretown.
So you come first, then?
Always.
^ proud attendee at Park Elementary
Nice.. I guess I should have seen this one first huh
Did you go to the school where the whore children come first?
Whoretown, is that where the S.L.U.T. goes?
I thought the S.L.U.T. just went downtown…
I guess that’s ONE way of promoting public transit……………..
Pretty pathetic FAIL, seeing as it was done intentionally.
Still made me LOL.
Then it worked…
there’s always one…
did someone piss in your coffee mate?
Sorry, that was me…
well… at least get the man a cookie… I hear Loz has a few on hand.
He doesn’t deserve one. Anyway, he got one with his coffee.
Well, I hope he enjoys his slightly salty coffee and nutty cookie.
I certainly would.
Hey! Coffee!
*Takes coffee*
Waitaminute…Did you guys do something to this?
*innocent face* Nooooo…. we’re too cute and sweet for that!
Worst innocuous answer fail ever. Proud of you.
Cookies are good, but I prefer plumbs.
*nibbles*
Always one who points out when failblog gets fake fails?
How is that not failblog’s fault?
http://www.ridetheslut.com FTW
I’m surprised it took this long to make it up there… Us Washingtonians have known about this for a while now
Washingtonians. Possibly the most retarded word ever conceived.
you read my mind
What about Edinburgers?
I have had the displeasure of hearing that for quite a while now
Agreed, but washingtonians is still worse.
Nah…people from Tampa have it the worst….Tampons
Tampons isn’t a retarded word, but washingtonian is. I still wouln’t want to be a tampon though
Really? I thought guys loved being inside a girl.
Apologies if you’re gay.
Your point stands. And no, i’m not gay.
Of course, the circumstances in which a tampon is used would still make me loathe to be one…
Nice save….lol
Cheers.
*shrug*, some guys are into that.
*pukes on keyboard*
(Vomit wont nest below this level)
Reminds me of a disgusting story.
A friend of mine in school who liked to think of himself as a bit alternative once told me that the stains on his jeans were from when he was going down on his girlfriend while she had her period and then he vomitted over himself. And hadn’t washed the jeans in a couple of months.
I’m not sure to this day whether that was true or not. I definitely wouldn’t put it past him.
You know some scary a$$ed people Loz
Imagine that. Having a scary ass. The fun that you could have.
I don’t know him anymore, haven’t spoken to him in a few years lol.
He’s probably dead from a crack overdose now.
Where I live we call that “clown-face”. And it is a mighty insult to call someone that.
Made all the more fun because so many don’t really get it.
*gets it*
LOL
*snork!*
Which crack was he taking too much of?
Er, which crack was he taking too much of?
dammit. sry for the repeated posts.
I know I do.
I’m from Tampa… they call us Tampanians.. which is just as bad.
Not….really…..
Really? I think it reminds me of the Tasmanian devil or some other such nonsense.
Or just… a Tasmanian?
No no. That would be far too logical.
umm… sure….
*plays with shiny objects*
You think the Tasmanian devil is nonsense? You do realise that they actually exist… in a place called Tasmania?
….And they spin really really fast
Hah!
Yeah, I’ve been to the zoo before, too. Can I have that cookie while you’re busy riding me?
I don’t ride sluts, sorry.
touche.
Nice. Well, I did set you up for that one, in all fairness. If that doesn’t get Burn of the Week, I’d be fairly surprised.
I’ve had the Burn of the Week trophy for weeks now. To be honest I’m looking forward to giving it away.
If only they’d hurry up and do another BotW.
Oi! I’m a Tasmanian!
There’s always Taswegians, as in, people from Tasmania, the little state down the bottom of Australia that everyone seems to forget about?
What about the folks on the island of Lesbos? (Greek Isles I believe) They’re called Lesbians.
is it possible that that is where the word actually originated? greece and rome were notorious for homosexuality….
The artistic and emotional sensuality associated with Lesbos is highly refined and poetically Sapphosticated.
Someone put this girl on the naughty step. And don’t let her back into New Orleans.
*eye roll* I’ve been hearing that joke since that… it’s old. Plus my uncle lives in New Orleans.
Good for your uncle…?
I’m just glad Naw’lins is coming back after your last visit, Katrina.
(say hi to the Plum Street Snowball for me next time you’re there — I used to live around the corner — that was is gourmet sidewalk shaved ice)
(… “was is” as in “once and present” — had to check a website to be sure they’re still in business)
Which time zone is this in. It isn’t 11:00 am where I am, in the Soviet United States of Great England
Well let’s see, it’s 2:00 pm here in E.S.T.
It’s 7:05 here. Timekeeping fail.
If you are using 24-hour time (which one would assume, based on your lack of ‘am’ or ‘pm’), then you made a timekeeping fail too
Noooooooo, damn you with your over observant ways.
*stands triumphant*
I vill haff my revenge….
Pacific Standard Time, I suppose.
Thats it
It’s daylight savings time in most of the USA until 11/2/2008.
It’s Daylight Savings here, too.
I didn’t mean to imply that it wasn’t DST anywhere else, just that it was DST from the perspective of the time stamps on the comments.
Yeah, I just meant that doesn’t make any difference to the time difference if we’re in DST too.
damn clear skies.
I don’t want summer to end. It’s been so cold here the past few days
D@mned planet, with its fancy inclinations about its own rotational axis.
It’s not to do with the rotational axis… it’s the orbit about the sun
*ahem*
“The Earth’s seasons are not caused by the differences in the distance from the Sun throughout the year (these differences are extremely small). The seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth’s axis.”
He was still wrong! Neener, neener :p
*considers taking up a different degree course*
He wasn’t wrong.
Inclination = tilt.
Oh my apologies, I didn’t go back and check his comment. I thought he just mentioned the rotational axis.
I don’t know where my mind is tonight. I’m even lying here in bed reading the latest Nat. Geo.! *sigh*
Hee! We’ve all been there.
You just don’t diss my Admiral when I’m around!
You’re an admirable protector!
Ooh, the vice presidential debate is on TV now. *settles down with popcorn*
This better be good!
^ Sugar and spice ^
I have to say, I enjoy visiting a site that uses my time zone. Usually when I go to a website it’s set on US Eastern or GMT.
Not to be a downer, but the fact that the city recognized the acronym and specifically changed the name to take advantage of the marketing opportunity kinda takes the ‘Fail’ out of it.
Perhaps what is more ‘Fail’ is that it’s working: just try to find a Trolley t-shirt in the shops at South Lake Union.
see coffee guy above.
Yeah! I love the S.L.U.T.!!!
…I’m from Washington by the way.
Oh great, a washingtonian.
*bad southern accent* We don’t take kindly to that there Wash-eeng-toe-knee-ans around here!
Actually, everyone from the South pronounces it “Warsh-ington.” I want to know why.
Now.
Funny, I work in the Northeast… and that damned ‘R’ exists here, too. My coworkers warsh the firetrucks, and warsh their clothes, and they bitch about the idiots down in Warshington. Where the F did that ‘R’ come from???
i once had a boss named rick. he would often deliberately mispronounce my name by adding an exaggerated r at the end. so i would often respond by dropping his r… if i was in a good mood. if i was greatly annoyed, i was more inclined to pronounce the silent p.
And here is another Washingtonian. We out number you. Surrender or we’ll whack you with a salmon.
I’m getting my T-shirt @ Kapow! Caffee
SUPER FAIL !!!
I rode the slut and all I got was an STI.
I Fail because I emailed this Fail in yesterday. Darn — missed the glory.
LIES!
I Fail because I read a comment about somebody failing because he emailed the fail I read the day before and due to he emailing the fail, not due to me reading the fail, he said, Darn – missed the glory.
So we both fail.
Seeing how it took us all of four hours to fill this particular fail to the point where it gets screwy, maybe we should petition for more fails in a day. This new system is not fun to navigate.
We could, I guess, look up some of the REALLY old fails and fill them up.
I know, and I’ve noticed that the links in the recent comments box don’t take you directly to the comment if it’s corresponding fail has more than one page.
Instead of 300 comments, we get 200 before the system craps out. For instance, I saw that you had commented, and had to go to the fail, go to “show all”, then scroll all the way down, to see that you had replied to…me. No, it’s not that any of that is difficult. It is tedious. And if you had been Loz, who has quite a few comments on this fail, it would have taken much more time to find this.
Not a slam at Loz, an observation only.
I’m all for more fails!
C’mon guys, FAIL!
Yeah, I’ve been especially bored today and failblog has alleviated that slightly. Until this screwy comment thing started happening.
Do not want!
(This new broken commenting system, that is.)
Do not want!
(Loz to be bored, that is.)
You can follow the recent comment links with a little effort. Click on the link that you want to follow and let it fail. Then type or paste:

You are my hero. My knight in both shining armor and white satin.
*ker-SMOOOOOOOOOCH-ah!*
Thank you, sir. You are awesome.
Take a look at some of the oldest fails. There are new comments being made. The recent comments doohicky not working is indeed a pain.
As a Seattleite..
They considered many other names for this. But none of them were any good as an acronym, and this is funny and easy to remember. Plus, they sell shirts that say “I rode the slut.”
I’ve heard of ‘pulling the train’ but this is ridiculous!
how is this a fail?
BEST acronym EVER!
I’m totally moving to Seattle just so I CAN ride their slut!
Be sure to take protection…
I recommend some kind of javelin.
… to protect your peccary.
Newsflash – this is Seattle. They knew what that spelled, and they went with it anyway. It was probably a little on purpose. Not a fail. Keep trying, though.
Newsflash — no shit.
“— no shit”? Try Exlax.
no shit
You are a party pooper. I thought it was funny until you ruined it for me.
courtesy of joel mchale
Lolz!
I live in Seattle and everyone knows about the SLUT, its completely on purpose. Its just a funny joke, but i love that it made it here on Failblog
Actually now it’s the South Lake Union Railcar….the SLUR….so much better.
Riding the SLUT will give you crabs!
No. You need to go to one of the restaurants on the waterfront for that.
No matter when you ride one, somebody has ridden it before you!
That’s a total WIN! We love our neighborhood S.L.U.T.
Excellent as always.
Probably intentional.
Somewhat fail since they changed the name about a week after T-Shirts started appearing that said “Ride the SLUT”.
But it was entertaining when it happened.
Can I ride this S.L.U.T.?
i wonder if Jorge ( the chicken) would ride the S.L.U.T ’s
Just remember you can always buy a shirt that says “Ride the SLUT”
I rode the SLUT.
*loves Seattle*
I rode the SLUT.
*loves your mom*
Seattle?
*sluts*
I like to think we have a sense of humor in Seattle. And frankly I don’t want to meet the man who takes public transportation seriously.
imho looks like some hidden private whorehouse for me, so many ppl wont get it cuz they’re dumb.
I bet she never takes freebies.
$20 for a two hour ride, baby.
That’s actually not the official name any more, they changed it to South Lake Union Service Trolley not long after its creation…though I’ve got that image on a shirt (something for the merch shop?)
One can only hope they expand the service to all of Lake Union. I’m lusting after it already. Lake Union Service Trolley (LUST)
lol…
“she’s like the county trolley; evreryone’s had their ride!”
Actually, there’s a bit of a story here…
The City of Seattle asked the South Lake Union neighborhood what needed to be done to improve the neighborhood. (One of the bigger problems there is truly horrible traffic.) The neighborhood came back with a long list of suggestions, some of which were extremely practical and affordable… but wouldn’t have high visibility for the politicians.
The City came back with “How about a neighborhood streetcar?”
The neighborhood representatives said “A bus that can’t change lanes to go around an obstruction, in an area that already has horrible traffic? And will cost millions of dollars more than an ordinary bus? No, that doesn’t sound good. How about something off our list?”
And then, in a public meeting and on some documents, a City official referred to the proposed streetcar as the “South Lake Union Trolley” (the City now denies this ever happened) and people noticed the acronym… and it got approved and built because of the acronym.
It has really done nothing for the neighborhood except attract a few more tourists to ride the S.L.U.T and make the original traffic problem slightly worse. It has repeatedly been stopped because of accidents it wasn’t involved in (and has been involved in a couple), because of construction, because of… basically because it’s a bus that can’t change lanes.
And we already had the trolleybuses, too. The best of both worlds, they’re electric and they’re maneuverable. And a bit of a novelty.
You dear sir, are a common Train slut.
theres also
house slut
Garden slut
Jungle slut
And mother slut.
Garden sluts… is that where all the slime trails come from in my front yard?
too bad this is the “slang name”… so a true fail? maybe not…
Can I just ask: how many of you were scriptwriters for M*A*S*H? I never read such off-the-wall threads.
PS We don’t have sluts in Wales. Come to think of it yes we do.
I refuse to make comment on this picture as any joke or innuendo would be too easy
lol. i was totally in seattle and the tour guide told us about this. and yes, they did have tacky t shirts.
T-Shirts available?
I want one.
I don’t think people realize that this was on purpose…
haha.. o gosh i love Seattle..
LOL, I live in Western Mass. where our transit system is the Pioneer Valley Transportation Assoc., or PVTA for short, but the font on the buses is such that we could’ve sworn we were riding PUTA buses for the first month we moved out here. I think our bus lines should get together.
Old shit is really old
ummm wow that must be ran by my ex girlfriend and apparently there is another person here named a person
the interesting thing about that poster is that they actually get business, hell, my friend even has a shirt of it, the staff at school still aren’t taking it too kindly
The unfortunate acronym was noticed and got a lot of press in the local paper, but the city decided they didn’t care. At least it’s memorable!
Living in Seattle, its been a long running joke after failing to notice that South Lake Union Trolley (now officially streetcar) initials was SLUT. They made over 2,000 shirts that sold out within 10 minutes before realizing what they had done.
i would say WIN!
SO NOT FAIL!!!!!!!!!! As a Seattleite, I feel it is my duty to inform you all that WE LOVE THE SLUT!!!! They actually tried to change the name after it was named and we refused to let them do it! DO NOT DISS OUR SLUT!
Kapow Coffee is getting pushed out of their space… and I believe going out of business. (The building is forcing them out to put in their own cafe.)
Sad.
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah which is normally abbreviated SLC, UT. Sometimes people abbreviate it SL, UT which is pretty awesome. How many people get to say they live in the SL,UT? I would like to ride your S.L.U.T. when I go to Seattle.
I am serious when I say:
I have ridden the S.L.U.T. No joke. I definitely recommend it. =)
Oh my…the S.L.U.T. I sure wish they kept that name!
The Story of my life, riding the SLUT!
YAY
i get to ride a slut
these pages are the best.
Ride the slut: all guys do it eventually
Yes…this compleletly shows how very intelligent man has gotten since we were monkeys.
i rode that once and it was dirty
hahaha i rode the slut
its a trolley in seattle and i have a shirt with the same exact pic from there
I call fail on whoever took this picture because this is an ad for Kapow! Coffee, not the trolley itself…
The trolley is not the only thing you catch…
Yeah it was meant satirically, the people who made those signs don’t like the SLUT (it’s actually pretty pointless. every time you see one go by, there are like 2 people on it.)
one of my favorite fails ever )
haha, i’m so sad that they changed the name. one of my best friends has a tee-shirt, and we went into seattle, just so we could ride the slut. :]
It is called Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). I heard that they were going to call it “Frisco Area Rapid Transit” or FART.
I rode the SLUT! and oh boy was it crowded.
it’s not “uneducated”?
