A Lot Like You

…The regional insurance company Pemco Insurance knows all this, and it’s created a brilliant ad campaign around it.[Ed: hit ‘View the Ads’] Using the tagline “We’re a lot like you,” Pemco manages to poke fun at residents of the Pacific Northwest without offending us. (Of course, if you live in the Pacific Northwest, you know most of us would be far too passive-aggressive to say anything even if we were offended).
People who don’t live in Seattle or its environs may not get all of the company’s spot-on “Northwest profiles.” But chances are anyone can laugh at “The Super-Long Coffee Orderer,” “Gluten-Free-No-Refined-Sugar Lady,” “Accidental Tech Millionaire” and, most notably, “Confused East Coast Transplant.”
Also, you don’t have to live in the Northwest to see your friends — or yourself — in “Your Friend Who Won’t Stop Talking About Real Estate,” “Art Gallery Crawler” and “Walla Walla Wine Wine Woman Woman.”

Well, not me. I’m from Florida.
They probably mean Walla Walla Real Real JeffS JeffS. Come to think of it, I did see…

   Actually Actually I I know know the the Walla Walla Wine Wine Woman Woman.
   She staggers quite a lot, now that I think about it.
   Oh, and regarding sandals & socks……that’s so 2006. Now it’s crocs & socks.
   Except me. I loathe crocs.
