Overheard in Seattle: It's Raining Weird

What it do, home slice? It’s another glorious Wednesday in Seattle - the air is crisp, the coffee is a brewin’ and the rain is starting to fall again. Make no mistake, friends, the summer (aka those two brief weeks of incandescent happiness) is OVER, done, finit-o. Although this transition to the Fall-Winter can put us back into our normal mode of deep depression and Radiohead tunes, it also means that here at Seattlest, we’re getting our jollies from seeing the crazy come out in Seattle again - and that makes for some pretty damn entertaining eavesdropping.

Here’s the best of Seattle’s weird (aka typical) talk this week:

In our fair city, Halloween is a state of being.

Overheard: Bus passenger in full zombie garb: "I was just doing my zombie thing & everyone was like 'You're early for Halloween' & I was like 'What?' Forgot it was October"

OH by @mshannabrooks

Foxy Knoxy makes us forget we ever had a basketball team.

Overheard from a Seattle native in the newsroom: “We lost the Sonics, but we're getting Amanda Knox back!”

OH thanks go to @john_ingold

And I thought it was just a cavities thing.

Overheard on da bus (duh): “I got shot in the face. That's how come my teeth are bad. But I don't let it get me down."

OH c/o @mshannabrooks

Oddly enough, Seattleites probably make the worst Seattle tour guides.

Overheard on the #8 bus: "You know that's the biggest REI in the world! It's a rock climbing wall.. The whole thing!"

OH from @pixycat
