As noted previously, we're fans of the Uptight Seattleite persona because it seems to be gloriously, teeth-grindingly true. The Weekly's incarnation makes us laugh every so often, but the best gut-punch comes when we run across someone's real-life experience.

For the time being, we've been able to sate our Superbad desires by watching nine million clips on YouTube, as well as here.

No, no, see, Washington is on the northern border. With Canada. See, if we do a vigil up here it makes it seem like we don't hate the Mexicans. We'll be like equal opportunity haters, get it? No, we don't hate the Canadians we hate the Mexicanos, but- Oh. Oh you do? Oh, wow, we got a live one here. Hey Frank, we got a live one over here. Well, alright, yeah, you can keep the Canadians out if you want to. You can even bring weapons. So, yeah, you can keep an eye out for Canadians coming down illegally, but try not to shoot anyone and make us look bad. Ok, show up in Blaine on October third and be prepared to stay the month. Here's a training manual. No you can't go home early if you bag a Canuck the first day. Don't bag any Canucks. What if you take out a Mexican? Well, then we'll talk about it.
