Let's see, your guy draws pictures. Really Balon, Olympia must be a craphole compared to Jasper Alabama.

Everett, WA. It's pretty much a hive of scum and villany.
Supposedly (according to Wikipeida, heh) David Eddings and Kenny Loggins both hailed from Everett, although that's not what Eddings' page says... whatever.
Nothing good comes out of Everett. No, I'm not good. I'm mildly passable as a decent human being, really.
God, I hate Everett so much.
