BANDITO BETTY LOU WHO'S LEAP OF THE DAY >>>

Bandito Betty Lou Who isn't a huge fan of jingtinglers, floofloovers, trumtookas, blumbloopas and the other wack musical instruments her fellow Whos bang during the holiday season. Every two years she gets the hell out of Whoville and spends the holiday season in the South Sound.

She's back. The Weekly Volcano secretly attached a GPS device to her whocarnio. We're tracking her. Apparently, she was at Old Town Bicycle picking up a few things for tonight's Troll Crank.

We spotted Bandito Betty Lou Who watching Gilligan's Island reruns at Tacoma Cabana. The new tiki bar in downtown Tacoma offers a waggish combination of strategic lighting, dangling blowfish, bamboo, Hawaiian textiles and just enough kitschy accents to conjure up a live rendition of "Tiny Bubbles." It's Fez Friday at the Cabana, which means beginning at 4 p.m. you may receive $5 Vic's Mai Tais, Rangoon Gimlets and Daiquiris all day long with a fez or a flower in your hair. And to justify the use of "zombie" in the headline above, let it be known Pappi Swarner wrote an open letter to the Cabana's Zombie drink here.

Anyhoo, we managed to snap a shot of Bandito before she scampered out. Don't fret. The Weekly Volcano is hot on her trail. Expect more Lou Who action tomorrow.
