Jake's video really resonated with me since I grew up in Seattle. Thanks for the laughs, Jake, the final scene with J.P. Patches in the dumpster really had me laughing, since I was a big fan of that goofy clown!

I choked on my coffee when I saw that video was a Emmett Watson film. He warned us, and undoubtedly would have something to say.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

Kinda eerie, isn't it? I wonder when that video was made?

What qualifies a person as an official "Washingtonian"? Do you have to speak native Lushootseed, or your great grandparents arrived on the Great Northern, or your parents moved here from east of the Rockies, or you moved here and started hiking in 2007? Somebody draw the line in the sand.

Yes. Even if one grew up on the side of the state where JP Patches was only available on cable, it is funny and understandable.
Spokane seems to be campaigning to get the evil Colifonians to move there. Oh well. That's a few hours away from here.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Write to the station if you can find them. Tell it to the producer who does that segment. Here's the deal. The weather, or the sports group try to get as much air time in their little time as possible....they had NOTHING of interest to report on and try to get the LOCAL angle as much as possible...so they came up with this hairbrained idea. Tell them what a waste of time they did. And tell them to report on more ACTUAL games, i.e. other pac 12 games, rather than what Richard Sherman tweets about, or the practice for the Seahawks for their sports !

No idea what "Lushootseed" is.
My great grandparents? Depends on which side of the family you're talking about.
On my maternal side, Captain Levi Scott came out west on the Oregon Trail and was the first postmaster somewhere in southeast Oregon. My maternal great grandmother and my maternal grandmother were both from Salem Oregon.
The other maternal great grandfather landed at Ellis Island (from Skarmunken Norway) in 1903 and fished from a wooden rowboat at what is now known as "Ocean Shores" with a hook and a line.
On the paternal side, they were all back east struggling to survive as sharecroppers on Midwest farms or cooking up whiskey in Tennessee. When my father was discharged from the Marines in 1931 they gave him his walking papers on a ship in Bremerton. He had no reason to go back to the Midwest- he always said that only a fool would live back there.
Is that official enough?

And I'll add the frequent PSA's from KIRO, KOMO, KING & Q13 when a reported coyote, bobcat, bear or cougar is spotted in / near a neighborhood and / or school.
Not reported because it's..."really cool to see" but because... "you'll probably be killed"
The "bobcat" one the other day had me laughing.

Well, I'd guess it would be somebody living here a few years who isn't out to change our primitive way of life but it's a little late for that.
Not sure if I still have my Louie Louie button. I do have a Church Of Elvis chalice but that is a Portland thing.

^ yet another reason to not watch television. television makes you stupid. I don't need to be any more stupid than I already am.
