We now have "Say WA" for the state slogan, and "metronatural" for Seattle.

Spokane is seceding to Idaho....

**Schmear** · 10-30-2006, 04:23 PM

It can't. Spokanistan is its own nation-state.

**Buster Highmen** · 10-30-2006, 04:33 PM

So Spokane is Bovinonatural? And Montana is Ovisonatural?

**Schmear** · 10-30-2006, 04:36 PM

Say WA is actually kinda funny.

Do they cover "Relax" ?

**ptavv** · 10-30-2006, 05:14 PM

Spokane sucks.

**facedeep** · 10-30-2006, 05:20 PM

I would have to agree

You're still too JONGular for your opinions to matter.

As for Ptavv, aren't you from around here somewhere?

**cj001f** · 10-30-2006, 05:53 PM

Oregon - We Love Dreamers *

* that includes those of you moving for a decent wage and stable employment

**Bring On The Snow** · 10-30-2006, 05:56 PM

yeah baker sucks never ski here hardly ever snows always hardpack

that whole 1,140 inches thing is made up

**rippah** · 10-30-2006, 06:16 PM

Washington. Hah! What poo.

For years I've walked around here waving a wad of cash big as a hay bale: you think I could get me a slopeside condo? No.

My Unobtanium credit card with TheSkysTheLimit(tm) cash advance feature, slapped down in every backwater burg: you think it could get me a mocha-frappa-enema cleanse? No.

Sauntered into every roadside dive bar in the state wearing my Ocelot fur fag bag with Dodo feather trim: you think I could score some fake chested, disco dancing, foreign-accented money bag 'tang? No.

I scoured the world for the most esoteric, expensive pure bred, purse-size dog: you think I could leave the little fucker in my Ferrari while I head-planted my way down the cliffs of Baker? No.

That's it! I'm outta Washington. And I'm going to tell everyone I know:

Don't come to Washington! It sucks here!

Ptavv,

Thanks for posting the article.

I'm surprised it didn't say anything about MHM courting Warm Springs for Mt. Jefferson access after they broke up with the Yakimas.

Just speculation but....

The only place with a bigger one may be CO.

Not quite correct, actually only the gay people are gay.

Emmett Watson is smiling in his grave from this thread.

Funny I only have about 20K different images that they could have used to describe waht "Cascade Cement" really is

It's called Cascade Concrete. The Sierras have the cement. Get it straight. Ok, now back to read the rest of this thread and sorry if someone already pointed this little tid bit out.

As I already pointed out it is Cascade Concrete, you idiot. Oh my, I have two more pages to go.

BOO HOO

30 days in a row? What are you a gay pussy? The last year I lived there it rained 98 straight days in a row. Winter of 99 was a good one. Yeah, now I am padding my post count again.

Finally someone that knows what the fuck they are talking about.

Concrete man, concrete! WTF is wrong with you people? You ski on concrete and don't know the difference between cement and concrete?

**Sphinx** · 10-31-2006, 01:34 AM

PNW sucks - I ditched that place like a bad habit.

Socal totally kicks the PNW's ass. Particularly when it comes to skiing.

It didn't rain today, it was bluebird and Mt Baker had a beautiful new covering of Cascade Concrete.
I too have been padding my post count and I seem to be slightly ahead in the mad rush to 1000!
