Well, now, this explains it all

After a day of forum and comment turbulence, a referral from here turns up in our site logs (one of our police-report summaries is referenced in the thread). We’ve never heard of that site before so forgive us if it leads you anyplace even stranger, but we just had to share.

This says it all, at the bottom:

We do not discriminate against the mentally ill!

The truth is out…I am Bertha of the Dark Side. My pit bull minions and I want West Seattle for our own. Soon all the latte shops will be dark and the only beverage available will be weak lipton tea with aspertame. My diabolical plan is coming together!

Thanks WSB for inserting a moment of humor at the end of a long blog day!

Bertha of the Dark Side – just ask my kids:)

hmmm…why does the theme song from “Twilight Zone” keep going through my mind?

Thank God I’m wearing my tin foil hat!

any none of you took my fairy goodmother stuff seriously… shame on you

Are those people for real or is that a parody site?

WSB March 5, 2008 (8:57 am)

Looks like a very busy discussion site whose stated purpose in the header includes “UFOs, conspiracy theories, lunatic fringe.” Whether those who post are sincere or satirical, who knows!

Helpfully this site also is among those debunking the otherwise-semi-alarming “Moonvertising” billboard we saw on the bridge east of 99 this morning:

I’m not surprised.

As I was just reminded by some one who lives three time zones away, it’s an established fact that here in the Northwest that the owls are not what they seem.

Finally, a belief system I can get behind:)

This explains the crop circles in my backyard.

*whew*

JoB March 5, 2008 (11:26 am)

trick.. i have them too.. but i think it may be because hubby hasn’t cut the grass and i have twirling dervishes for dogs…

but i bet hubby is willing to buy the crop circles explanation.. because then it would be a shame to cut them down:)

I think those folks account for 90% of the discussion in the PI’s Sound Off forums.

Yeah, I thought it was a little strange that Darth Vader was canvassing for the Northwest Wilderness Coalition. Now it all makes sense!!
Thanks WSB for helping clear things up!

LOL, Trick .(even though I hate using “LOL”..sometimes it gets the point.

Let’s just ignore this sentence, it doesn’t fit with my lunatic theory:
“this is a long roundup not because thereâ€™s been more crime than usual lately, but because we havenâ€™t gone through the report book since last Wednesday”

Sorry, comment time is over.
