I have nothing to say about loggers and watersports, though, because I refuse to be responsible for the turn this comment thread would take.

The Seattle Times won't list it as "family-friendly," but I predict big crowds anyway, thanks to the Stranger's sponsorship. On a side note, I suppose log-rolling instead of a dance-off would be considered an unfair advantage for the loggers? Log-rolling, see, has the benefit of being a watersport.

So, a pirates vs loggers dance-off sponsored by Toys in Babeland would pretty much be the best thing ever. Except where would the hookers come in?

Now your loggers-and-hookers combo certainly has historical merit -- maybe they could float up on a log raft and Babes in Toyland could provide the hookers with some makeshift pike-poles.
