[mizanation]

washington has given the world many great people: bruce lee, quincy jones, jimi hendrix, colonel sanders, kenny g, bill gates, nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, alice in chains, bob barker, bing crosby, kenny loggins, adam west, john olerud, jeff monson, drew bledsoe, and hillary swank

[Chicken]

olerud? how about ichiro?!

[sexasomniac]

haha, hell yeah kenny loggins went to my high school back in the day.

ill be honest, i miss portland but seattle is my home, it was just nice getting away from all the day to day bullshit here.

i had this random picture i thought i would share...

[ang_kangkong]

Glad you're talking money, miz. I'm not that happy with my job as AD in an ad agency in NY, you know what the job market's like in Seattle?

PM me if you think I'm hijacking.

[mizanation]

man, ang, i haven't been back to seattle in years. i'll let you know what i find out this new years.

chicken: ichiro's impact on seattle has been huge. i've heard that all the little little leagers in seattle (regardless of race) do the same warm ups and do the pre-batting stance now.

[Chicken]

^ nice. and are they keeping their bats in humidors? okay, maybe not.

ang, you're an AD, too? publicis and wongdoody comes to mind when thinking about ad agencies in seattle.

[lil brown brother]

havent been there yet but i miss seattle already....

[greentea]

For the record I totally miss San Francisco, for all of the reasons miz listed above. West Coast is the Best Coast.

i second minya on westcoast the bestcoast, 5 hrs from hawaii and hop,skip and a jump to asia. cant beat that.

[ang_kangkong]

Damn...!

Who else in here works in advertising? There a website besides adholes.com you visit?

Chicken, you're right, wongdoody'd be good. There's a Publicis right here on Herald Square, isn't there? I got an acquaintance there and he's not too happy though.

And to keep this thread on track, I heard that Florida (and I think maybe even NY) gets more inches of rain than Seattle, even though it's gotten that rainy rep.

The thing about this is that seattle just rains more often, actually it's raining today, and did yesterday. The type of rain is different though, where as when I used to live in Atlanta/themidwest when it rains it usually RAINS. But here, like, it is almost always "sprinkling" or just lightly raining. So I'd assume that has something to do with it.

[kwiteaboy]

Portland is starving for culture, which is a function of Oregon (like most of the rest of the country) being culturally bankrupt.

Oregon has NOTHING.

And go Ducks? Are you shitting me? GO DAWGS

as opposed to the great state of washington, where (in the last year alone):

* one man was fucked to death by a horse (colon blow, anyone?), then dumped at the ER by the owners of the bestiality farm.

* another man was busted fucking his pitbull in the backyard by his girlfriend (who took a photo of him with her phone).

talk about culture!

how 'bout, "who gives a fuck about college sports?" grow up.

exactly, out here in NYC, you don't wan to get caught in the rain without an umbrella.

in seattle, i don't even remember carrying an umbrella, ever. when it rains, it's always just a light drizzle. besides, in seattle, people drive, so you're never outside walking from the station to your destination which is 10 blocks away.

oh shit, the enumclaw reference! nice drop snugglepony...

here's my Seattle observation....what the fuck is up with all the grunge-leftovers up there? Kurt's dead, get over it kids...

i mean seriously, i haven't seen so much Manic Panic-crusted hair since '95, and every time i turn around there's some dude with so many piercings he looks like he took a face full buckshot Cheney-style....

[mizanation]

yeah... they hang out on university avenue and some on broadway. we called them ave. rats when i was growing up there...
