O...M...G...!

I’ll take it!

[Travis T. OJustice]

I’d be absolutely thrilled to have the little boat that sits way up high, under the radar bridge.

“I wonder how many people know how to pronounce “Puyallup”... :-)”

I played that joke (pronouncing towns, rivers etc) on my family when I moved them here from MS. It was hilarious!

[Professional Engineer]

Buy one, get one free?

One can hope right...

[Daffynition]

Hehehe!

Whatever you say, cupcake.

Namibia?
Haven’t been there, yet. But I would love to go.

With a gun and a guide.

[Vendome]

Those are nice sparklers.

Pronounce “Willamette”, “Scappoose”, “Sequim”, “Hoquiam”, “Deschutes”, and “Tualatin” correctly, and I’ll know you’re from the PNW

Ability to pronounce "Oregon" is the first elimination round.

Well I should post the pictures I took of the Three Sisters and some ghost town near there.

I thought the Stonehenge monument was a neat tribute to World War II and the view was incredible. Didn't know there was a mansion.

One of these days, what I would like to do, is drive from San Jose to Tulsa, during Ski season. My dream would be to hit a resort a day on the way and come back through the southern route.

I have been to the painted desert many times but, I would really like to just go for a hike. The colors, and how they change are fascinating.

From there I want to find that new “Glass Ledge” overlooking the Grand Canyon and just walk it for few minutes. Then head back south to Sedona to stay at a little hotel I like that overlooks the valley. “Cloud” something or other.

From there, my favorite place to stay is the Fess Parker in Santa Barbara. Right on the ocean.

Next stop, Ventana, in Big Sur. Fabulous food.

I think it would take about three weeks to do all that unless I got bored and wanted to get back to work

Last time I drove through Yakima, there was a welcome sign that said, “Welcome to Yakima: The Palm.Springs of Washington”.

If you have been there, you know how stupid that is.

It’s beautiful. Hunting is excellent, and along the coast, the fishing superb.

[wideminded]

how many syllables are you pronouncing there, and on which syllable is the accent?

Three syllables. The accent is on the second syllable, which is pronounced like the name "Al".

Puyallup ----> pyu-Al-up

[stormer]

I drive through Yakima about 4 times a year (I'll be doing it tomorrow), and that sign cracks me up every time. I've got a couple of friends from there, and I every time they say the word “Yakima”, I always chime in with “The Palm Springs of Washington.” I was talking to one of my cronies at the pub yesterday when the subject of Yakima, the Palm Springs of Washington, came up. I told him the two top exports from that dump are crime and slutty women.

[Lakeshark]

Happy 4th to you. These are the kind of fireworks we can handle.......

[Daffynition]

I always have prefered the illegal kind.......

[Lakeshark]

We just go down to Ohio for those.......too bad we can’t get the salesmanship they have in Washington.......

[Slings and Arrows]

For many, bikini-clad women and fireworks stands are sure signs that summer is here.

Why stop there?
