Even More Lust

Other sign outside the store of sin:
Hot Show
Cool Place

And the tiny motto, ever-present, underneath:
Have an Erotic Day! ;)

Yes, there is a smiley-face included.

There is another lame Seattle "event" that no Seattle-ite would ever be caught dead doing, and that would be the "Ride The Duck" tour that starts across the street from the god-awful Experience Music Project (where I have also worked). The "Duck" is an amphibious vehicle of large size: it can drive down the street and then "swim" through the water (of Lake Union). It looks like the tour boat from the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, only it fits more people. It is horrible. And the tour-guides all have the same "script" that they recite over a loud-speaker about the landmarks and oh-so-interesting history of our beautiful city. Guaranteed you will hear them playing "Rubby Duckie" as they zoom along at the break-neck speed of 15 mph. The silly tourists will wave frantically at anybody they see standing on the street while they blow through these horrid kazoo-type things that are supposed to sound like a &*@#! quack. And here I get to the point of my story: Several times a day these Ducks pass in front of the museum, and the guide points at SAM and the Hammering Man, and ooooooohhhhhh, look at the building with the art inside! And then comes my favorite part: the guide chuckles and says, "Now this is a reminder for all the men on the tour that the art museum is on the right side of the street. Please do not look at that pink sign on the left." And then he (yeah, the tour guides are always plays the Oooohhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhh from that Ferris Bueller/Twix ad song of the 80's. I can't believe I know this tripe.
