But as one born and raised in the headwaters of Fanno Creek (you must hear yourself saying <I>crick</I>, accompanied by soft strains of Dueling Banjos played on hammer dulcimers), I can help you with those scary friendly PDXers. Follow these easy techniques and you'll have it dialed back to crabby in no time:<BR/><BR/>1) Fail to speak of salmon in suitably reverential tones. Tittering at its mere mention (there will be opportunities) would not be too much.<BR/><BR/>2) Find a way to let your acquaintances know you'd just assumed they're Seahawks and Mariners fans, what with Seattle being the regional capital and Weltstadt and all. I mean you'd just assumed.<BR/><BR/>3) When the conversation turns to Quality of Life™, use your best guffaw-rendering of "yeah if it wasn't fuckin rainin all the time!" to let them know just what a fine specimen of knee-slapper they've so kindly shared with you.<BR/><BR/>4) Whatever they show you in their eagerness to help you discover the city, confide that you're going to let your wealthy relatives in LA know about it, as they'll be moving up en masse next month and will assuredly be interested in buying it.<BR/><BR/>5) Ask "so what do you do for real culture around here?", and, whatever museum or hall they proceed to tell you about, just say, "yeah, but what do you do for real culture around here?"
