    If one learns anything from Husky Hardcore, it is that we know our geography.

    The UW is not in Montlake.

    Stanford is not in Palo Alto.

    Notre Dame is not in South Bend.

    Mississippi is not in Oxford.

    And the Acrop is Not in Portland. It is in Milwaukie.

    I know you're being sarcastic but the Acrop is two blocks north of the Portland-Milwaukie line.

    I have all the screenshot I need:

    And the Acrop is overrated tourist bullshit.

    Disagree, the northwest is the best region of the USA to live in.

    alright Michael, tell me where a better place to live is? Washington, Alaska, Montana, Oregon, parts of Idaho.....you can't beat it for nature and livability. Florida, AZ, NM, Cali, and Hawaii are all nice, but have flaws, as does the PNW..

    the NorthEast is alright, I miss the mountains when I'm there though. too flat. Chicago has nice parts and bad parts. The eastern seaboard is miserable compared to the western seaboard. Texas sucks.

    I can't comment on the south as I've never been there, but I'd imagine it isn't better than here

    BREAKING NEWS: Portland is still the most pussified city in the most pussified state in the union.

    crisped
    agreed

    Two pantywastesare arguing with me on FB because I called out stay-at-home dads. One lives in Portland, one Suckattle, but both are from Seattle.

    Pretty sure it was the other way around in this thread, and you brought up the comparison.

    Modest Mouse > Soundgarden

    Nirvana was as much a Portland product as a Seattle one. They played as many early gigs in Portland as Seattle.

    Seriously, this is the most $75K argument I have ever fucking heard.

    Which I think makes this entire argument $75K x $75K.

    If you can't see that the lesbian bookstore in Portlandia is the essence of the entire PNW, then I can't help you.

    True, but great sample size of one. I was speaking more generally.

    I actually like Portland, Eugene, and the state of Oregon, but I know lots of poasters on here were born in that region so I tried to ruffle some feathers

    I stopped reading after that nonsense. You omissions of Pearl Jam and Jimmy Hendrix speaks volumes.

    Oh and Portland has Ever Clear so that is minus points in itself.

    Seattle also has The Presidents of the USA and the Foo Fighters, though I'm not a fan of either band. Dave Grohl is talented, though. Kenny G tears up the jazz scene, but again, not that big a fan.

    Seattle also has a rap scene. Sir Mix-A-Lot in the 90's, Macklemore (whether you like him or hate him) has made a fuckton of money and publicity, lots of good underground artists now.

    I don't count Foo Fighters since Grohl isn't from here and I believe none of the other members are either.

    However, your point is still on. AZDuck was just quooking it up like usual.

    All other 90's grunge bands were just trying to be Nirvana. Nirvana was copying the Pixies.

    Jimi Hendrix is in his own category.

    Of all the stupid shit splattered over this site, nay the Internet, this is stupidest, most splattered shit. I don't even have a problem with Modest Mouse really. Of all bands with the vocal stylings of an epileptic during a sneezing fit, they're up near the top. But MM is making bad coffee in the Lebanese-owned lobby Starbucks whilst Soundgarden is doing hookers-n-blow in the penthouse of One Rockatomi Plaza. To say anything else is AZDuckFS.

    You got the Pixies and Hendrix part right. Nirvana was also copying The Melvins, who way pre-date Nirvana. AiC, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone (more glam than grunge but still), Gruntruck, Green River, Mudhoney, and on and on either came before or essentially at the same time.

    Right. And Duck fans started hating UW when RN let the Dawgs dance on the O.
