Guess that Smell...

It's a shame I had to go and open my mouth to The Seattlest about our fair cities garbage strike. They contacted me about the state of the garbage, and you can read all about that over there, cause it's a great site about Seattle. But since I rarely venture outside of a few streets, clearly I'm no Bob Woodward on this one.

And while it is true that there isn't mountains of garbage anywhere, at least not yet, apparently things aren't as rosey as I thought. First, I went to Gastown last week. The entire place smells like a giant urinal, minus the chlorine. Second, it would seem that the Rats are begining to take over. it's like the Secret of Nimh over in the Eastside. You caught me, yes, i think a colony of super smart rats would be an improvement down there.

Meanwhile, The Only makes me seem relaxed about this garbage strike issue. Bonus points for calling out Mayor Sullivan who is now clearly a hilarious parody of Springfields Mayor Quimby and Quahog's Mayor Adam West. "Nearly a month old, the city strike in Vancouver has managed to make an already incompetent Mayor Sam Sullivan look utterly useless. While municipalities across “Metro Vancouver” have figured out how to make peace with big labour, Sullivan seems bent on refusing to acknowledge the obvious: sign the five-year contract and shut the fuck up."
