im drunk.

in other news, tonight i met a hot girl. we started talking about politics. I of course said my usual lie about how I am liberal (being in a liberal area, this works 95% of the time).

Tonight however, it turns out she was a conservative hot girl, which is super super super rare.

fucking bullshit.

The great thing about being a liberal is that the girls like you whether or not they're conservative.

Sounds like the law of 50/50/90. You have a 50/50 chance, and you pick the wrong one 90% of the time.

Sounds very tropical. The warmer the climate the more bugs you get.

Buy a pellet gun and thin the population.

Reminds me of a very funny story.

In Wisconsin, a weather man had predicted 6 to 8 inches of snow the previous day. The weather had remained clear. The next night, in the final minutes of the local evening news, the female anchor turned to the weather man and asked (without thinking what it sounded like) "So where is that 8 inches you promised me last night?".

The entire studio fell apart laughing. The camera was shaking because the cameraman was unable to keep from laughing uncontrollably.

It had to be one of the most embarrassing events in human history.

Ok, so he gets the trade-off of having flying cockroaches and big centipedes, but has some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet, great weather, very potent weed, and lots of fresh pineapple.

Sounds like Beefy has it made.In the Pacific Northwest we don't have the roaches, and we do lack the pineapple. There is very potent weed in So. Oregon, so we got that as well. And of course, it is really beautiful out here amongst the evergreens. Some may knock our weather, but I don't think tropical weather is better than temperate weather all year around. The tropics are great to vacation too, but I could never live through the summers.

I would have to agree with you, 3D. I lived in Florida for several years, and I missed having seasons.

I have not been to the Pacific Northwest, but its on my list of places to go.

Just avoid the Seattle Tacoma area. Lots of it is built on old volcanic mudflows, which are likely to happen again someday.

Yep the pacific NW is fantastic. I lived in Beaverton Or for several years.

You're out of your mind. Seattle is the absolute best city on the mainland. Hands down. When I lived there, I vowed never to leave. Then I left. Now I'll never move back to the mainland, save for Seattle.

Sure, there's not flying roaches, but there's also no wahine like we gots here.

Carry on.

The economy has hurt Starbucks. You might even have to walk 15 feet between them.

Minister of Truth

I hear they are planning to shut a lot of them down. But, yes, there are a hell of a lot of Starbucks outlets in Pugetopolis. Down in Lacey, we have a successful small chain here, so I haven't actually been to one down here.

I used to go to Starbucks quite a bit. I preferred Caribou Coffee, but there weren't as many around.

Now I just don't like anything added to the espresso, so I like the espresso I make at home better. Joe Mugs (in Books A Million) makes one of the best espressos around.

I like the idea of moderate weather all year long.

if its between 55-75 all year on average, that's ideal to me.

I added the "lol" after Scotland because I have technically set foot in Scotland. When I was in the navy we stopped in Scotland to load fuel. I was one of 3 people allowed off the ship for the fueling. I ran to the end of the pier and put both feet on Scottish ground, then went back to work.
