QuoteAccording to the charges, troopers arrived and found Harty sweating heavily and obviously impaired by a drug. He allegedly told troopers he was having a dream that he was currently in a car crash. He later tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the charges.
Harty was also reportedly naked from the waste down, wearing only a woman's blouse. When responders cut the blouse away, they found a pair of prosthetic breasts. There was also a nearly completely full bottle of urine and a pair of woman's underwear on the floor of the car, according to the charges.

...Never do anything you'd be embarrassed to explain to the paramedics...
AW HELLYEAH. I'm not gonna touch your territory, but there have been several Washington stories I wanted to post. You guys are on some slightly different shit (less BEES BEES BEES) than Oregon, but it's definitely Pacific Northwest. :lol:
We seem to have less continual mid-level weirdness than you, but when we have something it's usually REALLY weird. Like, remember the folks in Clarkansas who took the pictures with the dead horse? Or that lady in Vantucky who burned herself in the face with acid and said it was a random attacker?

The dead horse chick was actually in Oregon, but you guys had Mr. Hand and the Salish Sea Foot Discoveries.
I still don't really understand why people freaked out so much about the horse. They ate it, it's not like they just let it go to waste.

For some reason I thought that was in Washougal or somewhere like that. But yeah, much ado about nothing. But it was still a really WEIRD nothing.

It was definitely pretty damned weird.
I think the hullabaloo over the horse was "OMG THEY SHOT A HORSE AND TOOK PICTURES IN IT'S DEAD CARCASS ANIMAL ABUSE!" and didn't think about how they ate it. Also horses are not usually eaten in America, so that's weird too.

QuoteFrom the gate of Pinyan's property, one can see a miniature red barn. If Pinyan hadn't died that day, not only would bestiality still be legal in Washington State, but here, near the shores of Oak Harbor, an engineer who worked on the most complex machine in the history of the world would be practically married to a horse, a descendant of the dominant means of transportation for centuries. On the surface, the situation would have looked normal: Pinyan, a proud equestrian by day, brushing his horse's mane, riding the handsome creature—but at night he would cross the line.

I'm not agreeing with them, let me be clear. I read the article and was like "Oh. Well, okay then." That's just what the big deal was with people who would rather get up in arms, I think.
And I said "not usually," which accounts for being able to get it at the butcher. Most people I know don't go to the butcher, and they don't sell horse meat at the supermarket, s I was quite speaking in ignorance on that matter, I'll admit.
I'm pretty sure it's not legal to raise horses for slaughter in America so any commercially available horse meat is going to be imported and likely expensive.
Actually I just looked it up and apparently that ban was lifted in 2011. Still, it's not exactly a common thing in this country.

If the ban was lifted in '11, and assuming they wait until the horse is fully grown before slaughtering it, it most likely won't be seen for another year or two.

It was illegal to sell it commercially, for a while. That doesn't have much bearing. So some dumbfuck out-of-staters were horrified, so the fuck what.
It's been illegal to sell raw milk commercially here for longer than it was illegal to sell horsemeat.

That guy has some kind of neurological disorder! It doesn't have a name yet and isn't diagnosed or recognized at all by anyone, but I would bet money on it. I have seen it a few times and I think it's deserving of more investigation. It's insanely recognizable by some really distinctive traits, though.

Remember Jacob from the MMA pedo troll? Same thing. It's seriously super distinctive and seems to go hand-in-hand with social retardation and weird wrong conclusions about things. I have no idea whether anyone's described it yet or whether it's correlated with anything else, but I am pretty sure it's a discrete syndrome. I've never encountered anything in the literature that identifies it but there's a lot I haven't read.
The interesting thing is that it shares some characteristics with autism but totally isn't autism.

Yeah, you guys have a whole different KIND of weird. We have Oregon weird, that makes you go "heh, who would have imagined that?". You have the kind of weird that makes me afraid to click on links.
I think that falling into a machine that BREAKS UP CLUMPS OF TREE BARK WITH 7 INCH TINES counts as something that most people would not have imagined.
And, I mean, Kelso.

Yeah, but it's also the "afraid to click on links" kind of "would not have imagined".
Oregon has a gentle spiraling self-destruction that is bemusing. In Washington, people have for-profit horse sex parties where a guy gets fucked to death by a stallion.
Oregon headlines make you go :lol:
Washington headlines make you go :aaa:
Yeah, we have a tendency to get bored and quit fucking around.
Sometimes it goes wrong.
Or, put another way, it's what PDX might be like if it wasn't so damn NICE there. :lulz:

Yes, exactly. :lol:
Newcomers often mistakenly call it "passive-aggressive", but actually, it's that they're really freaking us out and we don't know how to respond. So we scurry away and make an art project about it.
Also, there's something about the Portland mannerism that really fucks up communications with people who aren't from here. People from San Francisco and Oakland kind of get it, but from anywhere else, it's a trainwreck of crossed wires waiting to happen. In person, people think we're too nice, passive, and polite. In writing, people think we're giant dicks who put things way too bluntly. People who are from here tend to say whatever they're thinking, but somehow the delivery softens it too much and nobody can hear it, or they get confused by the gentleness of the delivery and accuse us of being passive-aggressive. I think it's because we talk slowly and tend not to be very loud. That and talking in newscaster english probably confuses people. Keep on fucking that chicken!
Even our pervs are weird and vaguely (or overtly) threatening:

Seattle is scary!
In all fairness, the street sweeper rampage was somewhere in the south end, which is basically if Gresham had a million people and was half of a large county.

It's an interesting place to live, that's for sure!
I would say that it is hands-down the best "big" city to live in in the USA and whichever city is 2nd best is a VERY distant second so there's no point in Seattle and SF even arguing over it. Plus, it's SO AFFORDABLE. Which is good because it is almost completely impossible to make money!

LOL AFFORDABLE
So yesterday I learned a lot of things about the Columbia Slough floodplain, and one of the things I learned is that median income for the employees of industry on the floodplain is about $72,000, while the median income for the employees in Portland's hippest neighborhoods is $23,000. So, none of the people who work on Mississippi or Alberta or Hawthorne can actually afford to live there. Or anywhere, really.
Yep. Portland was cheap as shit to live in for me when I was there (at least, compared to Seattle or New England), I just had to make my money in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STATE.

You can totally buy a house for $300k, but GOOD LUCK PAYING FOR IT. That's Portland.
Also, very very Portland is that FEMA looked at our floodplains and was like "You're on your own".

QuoteThe incident began with a 4 a.m. traffic stop in the 10800 block of Evergreen Way. A 26-year-old Everett man was riding a motor scooter that had been reported stolen, Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell said. The bomb squad was called and all but one lane of the road closed to traffic after the man said he had a grenade strapped under the seat.
OK EVERYBODY, YOU CAN PROCEED SLOWLY ONE-BY-ONE, JUST KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT GET BLOWN UP BY A GRENADE.

As far as I can tell, nothing much happened in Portland today.
Jesus, ECH!

Yeah, one of my good friends that lives in Belltown woke up to it. Sounds like it's all blood and chaos down there today.
I can't imagine being the poor dude in the hospital after a HELICOPTER CRASHED INTO HIS CAR.

Portland had one of those, but it was a long long time ago.

I was 7 when this happened, and I remember grown-ups telling me that it was totally normal for airplanes to land on city streets when they run out of fuel.
THANKS GROWNUPS, FOR INSTILLING A TERROR OF INCOMING AIRPLANES THAT LASTED FOR YEARS.
The lot where the house was destroyed is still owned by United Airlines, so I hear.
I feel like this SHOULD have happened in Oregon, only it couldn't have because you wouldn't even get pulled over for that in the first place: http://www.myfoxmaine.com/story/25607292/pantless-driver-says-manzilian-irritated-skin
