Nah, remove the channel again!
Many rabbit holes somehow led me to click on a JOMW
infomercial advertorial review. I'm not a racialist but there's only one thing I hate more than the English accent, and it's hearing an English accent in my otherwise pristine, picture-perfect country. And there's only one thing I hate more than that, and it's some English nit saying "
on wrist". It's pronounced "
on the wrist". If you're trying to save time, try removing the "
a" from "
good value" next time; speak proper
English. And piss off back to England with all the other fruit pickers, used car salesmen, and recruitment 'consultants'. We're full - or haven't you seen the t-shirts?
This is the way that Washingtonians feel about Californians.
Understandably, I imagine. I empathise.
Interestingly, when me and Mrs. C (a native Washingtonian) moved here from Illinois in 1990, it was the height of Californians moving to the state and buying land and driving up the land values, which meant that only Californians could afford land at that time in Washington state. Unsurprisingly, Washingtonians weren't very happy about this, and when they met me, they were pretty angry, until they learned that I had moved here from Chicago. At this point, they were:
A) Happy that I wasn't from California, and
B) Kind of interested in Chicagoans, like we were a strange form of life, like those deep-dwelling fish that explode once you bring them up from the surface of the ocean.
They also acted like standard Washingtonians, or, more precisely, like Seattleites. They weren't angry any longer, but they were also very stiff and unaccepting, the "Seattle Chill" one hears about. I really didn't give a shit; as Anthony Bourdain once said, Chicago was the only city you didn't have to explain yourself about, or feel sorry about, apart from NYC.
