"a tallboy". or "some tallboys"?

I was out that way in middle school. Too young to really appreciate it. I need to get back out there.

It sucks in the Pacific Northwest. It rains, it's expensive, it rains, it's full of liberal idiots, it rains, there earthquake danger, and it rains some more. Believe me, you don't want to go there. You'll have a better time going somewhere else. Just stay away. You'll be better off.

I've been there a total of 10 days in my life and never saw a drop of rain. I don't believe that rain stuff.

There are a lot of weirdos there, I'll grant you that. And like I said about Vancouver already - Canadians. Just absolutely crawling with them.

Oh it rains alright. What you saw was the demo. Move there and it rains non-stop. So much that everyone is on suicide watch. You don't want to live there.*

We have a guy that worked at Microsoft for 10 years at work, and he said it got pretty old. But damn when you get the "summer weather" as they call it, it's as pretty of a place as you will find on the planet.

This is what they don't advertise. Winters suck if you want to stay dry, but from May to November it has the best weather on earth. Even the winters don't spend much time below freezing, so if you don't mind gray skies and rain, it's not harsh.

Love gray skies and rain. Want to move there.
