If you’re looking for something fun to do this Sunday afternoon (July 20), GET A LOAD OF THIS! Head on down to Roscoe’s (at 8105 SE Stark) at 4 pm for their monthly FLAMING DOLPHIN POOL TOURNAMENT. Here’s how it works: You put your name into a bucket and every month two names are drawn. These two people play a best-of-three pool tournament… and whoever loses must get a “flaming dolphin” tattoo somewhere on their body!

And though the loser has to pay for his/her own tattoo, he or she gets to decide how their dolphin gets to “flame.” The first month’s loser chose a dolphin bedecked in rainbows, while last month’s loser got a tattoo of a dolphin roller blading while wearing a fanny pack.

WHAT WILL THIS MONTH’S LOSER CHOOSE? Show up this Sunday at Roscoe’s and find out, in what will certainly be a nail-biting experience! (And if you’re brave enough, drop your name in the bucket for future bouts!)

Not exactly “flaming”… but you get the idea.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. Ha ha, make fun of fags. Way to go Mercury! Thanks for all the free publicity for this homophobic bar. Any upcoming anti-semitic events this week? We wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to make fun of minorities!

  2. This is kind of dumb. You don’t get anything for winning, yet you get “punished” (AND have to pay for it?!) if you lose? How do they get people to sign up for this junk?

    Oh yeah, 82nd.

  3. If you were punished by having to get a Ghetto Dolphin, with exaggerated African-American stereotypes like a big afro and looted TV set under its arms, people wouldn’t think this was so cute. But making fun of gays is as funny as it gets, right??

  7. I don’t get it, what does the winner get? I would think if someone were willing to tattoo themselves they’d at least get something, like free food or drinks.

    Is a level of intoxication necessary for this to make sense?

    And Matt, the only thing I find offensive here is your histrionic rambling. Also, a dolphin with an afro *would* be funny.
