Well, it turns out being a pancake could be hazardous to your health here in Bellingham… or at least, dressing up as a pancake, and standing outside a local IHOP Restaurant.
Bellingham police spokesperson Mark Young said a man Tuesday afternoon assaulted a 19-year-old woman dressed as ‘Suzie the Pancake’ outside the IHOP just off Samish Way on Byron Street.
“She was out there waving to customers as they would drive by,” said Young.
“The 19-year-old victim was approached by a 22-year-old suspect who initially just started yelling, and at one point went ahead and started slapping at the pancake.”
Young said a passer-by stopped 22-year-old James Manas as he tried a second time to hit the costumed woman, after which he walked to a nearby bus stop.
He said officers eventually caught up with Manas on East Maple Street, and cited him for disorderly conduct.
According to Young, the woman was uninjured but shaken up, and was sent home for the rest of the day.
Young said Manas claimed he was only joking when yelled at the pancake, and didn’t admit to hitting the woman.
That thing could be used to advertise vibrators or viagra too! lol
I wouldn't call the perp a man. Men don't act like punks.
What is this world coming to? When innocent young pancakes need fear assault on our city streets! For shame...
The cops won’t waffle though.
I wonder what kind of justice they’ll ladle out..? I mean the perp has really popped up on the justice system’s grid(dle), you know?
I was just thinking of Randall Simon.
Wow. You have a lot of skillet this.
Don't let her fool you, pancakes are evil.
What’s even worse is that Suzie the Pancake was doing a great job. The pancakes were selling like....um...okay, what simile do I use now?
Obviously an Obama supporter....trying to fight obesity!! Dang those Food Nazi Brown shirts...LOL
Following the court-ordered apology, there will be a Manas-pancake make-up....
That makes me wonder — when someone hits a Grand Slam, do ALL the food mascots march around the bases?
Ehhh, What`s all the flap, Jack?
“slapping at the pancake”
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
“I’m all right Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.”
Yah, I feel bad for her too. Getting slapped around and all she's trying to do is bring home the bacon.
By the way, does that one legged waitress still work at IHOP?
NO. They just get a token race in the 7th Inning Stretch. It’s a very popular event here.
