Ok, I'm stealing this idea from MYexodus.

You have to go check hers out and maybe explain half of them to me.





You Know You're From Seattle When...


You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian

You feel guilty throwing an aluminum can in the trash.

You use the words "sun break" and know what it means.

You know more than 10 words to describe a cup of coffee.

You know what a dry cappachino is.

You obey all traffic laws EXCEPT "keep right except to pass."

You know at least eight people who work for either Microsoft or Boeing.

You invite twice as many people as you really want to a party since only half will actually show up.

You know what Lutefiske is.

You personally know someone from Alaska.

You consider floating bridges a pain in the butt, not an engineering marvel.

You know how to pronounce "Sequim", "Puyallup" and "Issaquah."

You have roots in Oregon, Idaho or Montana, but wanted a high paying job.

You've tried to get a job in Alaska, especially a summer job only.

You think skiing always means being covered from head to toe, on snow or water.

You know at least three Microsoft burnouts, of which two are millionaires.

You use more than 5 words to order a cup of coffee. "I want to order an unleaded, double, short, skinny, wet cappuccino with a shot of Amaretto please."

A "designer" wardrobe comes from REI, Eddie Bauer, Lands End, and Birkenstock.

You consider it a sunny day if the sun is visible at some point of the day.

You've been "snow" skiing in the RAIN more than in the snow.

When you're discussing rainforests and volcanoes, you're NOT talking about Hawaii.

You Remember the Kingdome

You have tried to forget about WTO

You know how BLUE the skies are here compared to Eastern Washington

The guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like Phyllis Diller is really a trans named Eva Destruction that used to play with Hole.

Your car insurance costs more because your neighbors don't have any!

Your mayor is straight, 1/2 your friends are gay, the man who delivers your mail has a bumper sticker that reads "when they pry it from my cold dead fingers....", and your Burger World drive thru order taker was a computer millionaire last week.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Seattle.





BTW, we don't have a Burger World.

We have Dick's Drive thru.

This debate was a good one.

MSNBC has Jesse Jacks*n on. I can't stand him. Time to turn the channel.

Ok, I'm tired of Hannity right about now. He's constantly talking over people and though he's always done that, he's doing it a lot more. It's like he and O'Reilly are having a contest to see who can be louder and talk over more people.

Something I've noticed on ALL news programs is how women are constantly talked over. Constantly. It's so irritating that more often than not, they have to practically yell over men to get heard.

And I don't think Edwards totally fucked up. I don't think he did as well as I was expecting, but overall the debate was more heated than the presidential candidates.

OH! And RE: Halliburton. Someone just made a point: Clinton administration "hired", for lack of a better term, Halliburton for Bosnia. Where were the "Halliburton watchdogs" then?

I was waiting for a Halliburton subject to come up and I was waiting for the Medical Malpractice issue to come up. Edwards handled it ok, but medical malpractice lawsuits are a huge problem.

Anyway.
