While Driving Through Downtown Shelton

Tue, 12/21/2010 - 5:37pm — Anonymously Larry

One of the former regulars on the Daily Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned comments section, once claimed he located his business in Shelton to avoid the.....uh.....people of Downtown Olympia.

While driving through Shelton today, I noticed several young folks with backpacks standing outside the Shelton Community Shelter in Downtown.  A little further along, I saw a man that was Hispanic, thus he is probably illegal.  Then I noticed a young man in a black hooded sweatshirt carrying two huge plastic bags of crushed aluminum cans - most likely an anarchist that was trying to make everyone be a tree hugger or was a lazy unemployed person that subsides by taking recyclables from other people's dumpsters.  On the other side of the road was a guy with long hair and a beard, who was trying to fool me into thinking he was a logger with rigging jeans, suspenders and a Hickory shirt.  It was obvious he was a dope smoking hippie.

I'm thinking Downtown Olympia is taking over Downtown Shelton.  What next?

COMING NEXT.....

  Men in suits & ties and women in tall boots.  They will make you think they are walkaday people, but they are actually bureaucrats trying to find a place to fit in.  They stand out amongst the rabble here.

  Or could they be vampires, zombies and werewolves moving here from Forks?

rip on folks much?

this is not really funny or cool < tryn not 2b a stk in da mud here, but... >

...I'm so sick of folks dissn & ripn on each other for they way someone dresses or talks-

-most folks in Oly are so dysfunctional/borderline self-medicating that I'm surprised anyone tosses bombs when they are in fact so fragile.

Hey everyone" love each other, be nice just for the sake of it, smile & make eye contact in public and make a gift of something you cherish to somebody who doesn't have...and it is not hard to find folks in need of either real support or just a kind word or gesture in passing.

One of the folks who started City Repair had an epiphany while planning to jump in suicide to his certain death, and didn't, and now is happy (so you can be too). Are you too smug to care? *I think not*

cheers, ya'all ;)

I believe it is satire....

satire or poor taste?

I can make the same statements about driving thru Orting or Puyallup, so what is the point?

my 2 cents (take it or leave it of course) is that this "satire" is not funny

Do you know who he is satirizing?

Personally, I think the objects of this satire get too much attention as it is, which makes the satire fail for me.  If a dead horse is poor taste, then, okay.

POOR TASTE

   I think a dead horse is only in poor taste if you wait too long.

A fine line between "satire & poor taste"

(In reference to Chad360..... I keep missing buttons.  Give me a break, I'm old.)

It is not easy to do satire well, so that it comes across as humorous. Sometimes it's 'da bomb'. Sometimes it's just 'a bomb'.

  I have always appreciated the colorful spiked hair, spiked neck collars, lots of chains, tats, piercings and fanciful fashions on the streets of Olympia. It's not anything you would ever catch me wearing. I'm way too conservative for that. But I can still enjoy it.  I especially enjoy, too, all the vibrant colors of hair.  Maybe it's because I have none of either.
