i feel like enid in ghost world (the comic, not the movie)

All I want is a frickin' white-trash lawn chair, and I have no clue where to get one. You used to be able to just find them anywhere for like $5, but now they don't seem to exist.
(Actually what I'd really like are the kind that you can lounge out on, but those don't seem to exist either, except for the fancy $80 type. I just want the kind teenage girls in bikinis and cutoff shorts would sun on in the trailer park, dammit.)

Walmart.

I think you have Fred Meyer stores up there, too?

you mean I have to go to Renton to get a damned lounge chair?

(I had no luck at Fred Meyer last month, all they had were the frou-frou kind.)

go to a local hotel, take one, and then dont stop running. if i still lived in seattle i would have turned this into an adventure that you would not have forgotten. and the best thing, the chair would have been free.

Fred meyer on 85th had them last year. 15 dollars. I think there are still a couple in the backyard of my old house.. I'll tell you where.

Don't you have Wal-Marts all over the place up there? I know it's Seattle -- but, still... it's AMERICA!! And in AMERICA we shop at WAL-MART!!! Sam Walton and his greatness stands for GOD, APPLE PIE, PAUL REVERE and LITTLE PINK BABIES and all the other things that make this country what it is today!!!

This is the best idea. I'm sure Clark will agree with me on this.

mmm, little pink baby pie

There's a coupla Targets around here, but the nearest WalMart is in Renton (about 20 miles away).

(And Seattle is sort of in America the way Duke is sort of in the South.)

Even better, steal one from a local college or university.

...or do they not have trashy lawn chairs at colleges up there?
