The ballot drop box at the Ballard library was featured tonight in a KOMO news story about the tunnel referendum. And, Wilderness Barbie made an appearance and was interviewed! Out of the shadows she steps! Coo!

And you know who Wilderness Barbie is how? You've been a member here for two weeks, were you lurking before? Some things are best to just let lie.

Cate, I find it kind of creepy and imo it's just another incarnation of the same person. I also feel it's 100% wrong to call out the real identity of a forum member unless that member is ok with it. Kinda stalkerish, definitely uncalled for.

Oh tegyr, I agree with you - it is creepy and stalkerish. I hope I didn't sound like I was encouraging him.

Stalkerish? Preposterous. I am just an observant pigeon. She chooses to comment on the new front page stories. As a result her facebook (minus full privacy enabled, her choice) is left open for anyone to link to directly, and "wilderness barbie" is prominently displayed on her facebook page. Then I recognized her mug/name when it popped up on television and the connection was made, quite simple really.

You don't have to agree with a member ousting, but if people want to remain anonymous they should be more aware of this sort of thing and be proactive about making sure they really are. So yes, probably uncalled for, but no, certainly not stalkerish. She provided the connection herself for anyone to see for God's sake.

Bonne nuit everyone!

Well since this is entitled election story - 60% pro tunnel! I didn't see that coming. Thought it would be much closer.

Even if it had been voted down it would just end up drawing out he inevitable and costing more money. They're going to build the thing one way or another, that much is obvious. "Unstable fill dirt or no, baby we're a go!"

The tunnel vote would have been much closer, I believe, if most of the 80% of registered voters that didn't bother to vote had actually voted.

It is disturbing, to say the least, that more folks can't be bothered to vote.

And, enter BR, "We get the representation we deserve". Well, you are correct.

Absenteeism, from top to bottom. Good on ya Seattle.

Pigeon was that post about a fat boy gladhanding, or hating?

The purpose and wording of the tunnel vote was vague. The rest of the measures on the ballot were of the who-gives-a-crap variety. I voted. But I can sympathize with those who chose not to doing anything with their ballot. It might not have been worth the cost of a stamp.

In regards to the result... whatever. The tunnel could be a financial disaster and it could be an awesome boon for the city. Of course, there are so many cooks in this city's kitchen, maybe there's still time for another delay. If they actually start a project of this magnitude without another vote, I'll be impressed.

I was SHARKED! I forget what rule I broke? Did I offend the Ballard Rain Garden or Surfin Seafood with my post?

I've done no wrong. I reviewed the rules. Who is acting moderator now? I'd like to schedule a conference call.

For f*cks sake. Myballard will need is only Julian Assange the way things are going.

Arguably factual. I apologize. I should have said allegedly stolen (and returned). forgive me.

I wonder if the story about the SBSG Notice of Vilolation still appears on Myballard when you search for it, or is Swedes all about Murdoch style NEWS OF THE WORLD now?

@ BG, I certainly don't want to think you are referring to me. I still get a little squeamish seeing my name in print after writing for all these years. I usually don't even read the published versions.

If anyone around here is stalkerish it's BallardGiant jumping on anyone who dares to mention she who cannot be mentioned in a less than positive light.

There you go BG - fix my grammar :-)

Talking of pigeons - here's one that deals with unrequited love. I'm sensing it around here...

Many of you certainly do seem to jump to conclusions around here. "Jumping to conclusions is a sport only for fools."

You didn't cross my mind when I was jumping to conclusions, silly pigeon. You were merely the theme.

If the pigeon is not a bot, they sure do a good imitation. Imitation chicken nuggets all around!

If that thread is so annoying, why did you take the time to post on it stopgo? Slipping.

I posted a video of danzig getting knocked out. i thought that was funny. and fittingly suited for 1nder (john wayne/mr danzig himself) (tough guy extraordinaire)(still gets smoked in a fight).

I have always wondered what type of person stops to talk to the tv interviewer while going about the course of normal daily life.

Someone who doesn't possess a normal daily life, I'd guess ;-)
