Followup: Oh! How the Hogue must have flowed and the flavored cheese spread at the gala unveiling of Seattle's latest Incredibly Expensive Mistake.

You can just smell the Polo Sport and see the pulled threads from dozens of rented tuxedo pants trailing across the tiles of Seattle Center. The Seattle Convulsion and Violation Bureau had come to cut the blister pack off of their new brand of city.

The arrogance must have sat thickly atop the room like microfoam on a cappuccino. Indeed, there was a majorly self-important pronouncement coming: not until the suits at the SCVB made it so with their seamy slogan had Nature and Seattle come together.

Apparently, the downtown Snobberies, where the Marketing Monks distill their watery pablum for the masses, don't have windows. How else can you explain the Order of the Mercantile not knowing that Seattle and Nature had come up together?

The wine bottles are empty. The flavored cheese is dried up. The banners have been hung inside and outside of Seattle Center. The web sites are littered with puke green colors. The giggling in real cities has begun.

Seattle: poserwankeral™.
