Overheard in Seattle: Stereotypes Never Get Old

Yo-yo yigiddy yo, Seattle! How was the great Turkey weekend? Brief and guilt-ridden? Okay, now that the (ew) obligatory greeting is out of the way, let’s get down to some elective trash talkin’. So as you know (because we know y’all are reading this column religiously), each week we have a theme to tie together the latest, greatest, weirdest, ridonculous-est eavesdropped conversations around this Emerald land. Sometimes the themes are great, other times they are lame (no one’s perfect), but without fail we usually always poke fun at the superficial characteristics that make us Seattleites so Seattle - and we can do this, because we live here.

And so - because you shouldn’t mess with a good thing - we’re spending this post Turkey day edition doing what we do best: celebrating our own stereotypes…because unlike other metropolitan folk, we’re actually pretty awesome.

The no frills, “true colors” Seattle lady.

Overheard at the West Seattle Bowl ladies room: "I wouldn't say I'm golden, I'm more poop color."

OH from @RaijaPapya.

Screw “I spy,” our kids can count crossover vehicles per capita for kicks.

“Oh, Seattle. Just saw 10 Subaru wagons (mostly Outbacks) in my field of vision at PCC. Trumps 7 in a row, when driving to Leavenworth.”

Seattleites can capitalize on a political movement like it's nobody's business, you hear? *heart*, like, retweet..

Call to action: Speaking of which, Can we all take a brief break from Occupy to examine this injustice? How did this guy end up on a WORST tats blog?

OH on the twitter: "Ok, I love Seattle as much as the next guy, but maybe not as much as *this* guy"... http://ugliesttattoos.failblog.org/2011/11/27/funny-tattoos-seattle-looks-different/
