What apparently began as a fight between Microsoft co-workers over a woman ended with one man being rushed into surgery and another arrested.

Just after 9:45 p.m. Friday night, Bellevue police received several 911 calls from people inside the Tap House Grill at the Bellevue Galleria Shopping Center, at 550 106th Ave. N.E., said police spokesman Michael Chiu. Callers reported a man had been stabbed, Chiu said.

Around the time the first calls came in, Officer Heather Black was driving on 106th Avenue Northeast and saw a man half-carrying another man on the sidewalk, Chiu said. Black pulled over and approached them.

A 25-year-old Bothell man was bleeding from a stab wound to the femoral artery in his upper left thigh, Chiu said. The man was taken to Bellevue's Overlake Hospital Medical Center, where he underwent surgery, he said.

No WAY am I posting the wav for what the stone heads say.
*chuckle*
(Uh oh, that I even know what the stone heads say makes me a geek, right?)

[Charles Martel]

I guess I am not geeky enough to know.

Or too young. Either way... now ya know. ;-D

[RiflemanSharpe]

The lightsaber fight just went a little to far that is all.

[SquirrelKing]

Beat me to it! Those popped to mind as soon as I read the title!

[Revolting cat!]

Evidently, the argument was over who has thicker coke-bottle eyeglasses!

The culprits, who identified themselves as as 'Bush2000' and 'Golden Eagle', claimed those are their legal names.

BEST. POST. EVER.

[Prodigal Son]

Was it a real woman or were they fighting over something they had downloaded?

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I was all over this SCO thing.

The Tap House is one of my favorite haunts. 136 beers on tap and great food. But a barfight? In downtown Bellevue? A geek-to-geek knife-to-the-nads brawl among the soy chai set? Oh, the humanity!

[ShadowAce]

I was thinking along those same lines.

All jokes aside, a cut to the femoral artery is serious. You can easily bleed out from that without quick attention.

Sad thing is, the girl claimed her legal name was Coral Snake.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk... the only thing more pathetic than fighting over a woman is your attempt at humor.

There must be more to this story.

[Revolting cat!]

Better a failed attempt at humour than a successful attempt at homourlessness!

I wonder if the blue screen of death flashed before the victim's eyes?

Don't quit your day job. I know funny -- and you ain't funny.
