    @brih966 Yeah (I mean “ja, shure, yoo betcha!”), it’s in Seattle, also known as the Land of Lard, though I don’t think many people in Ballard use lard…

  2. brih966 says:

    where is Balard ?is it in seattle?

  3. NamathTheLegend says:

    This is classic. How do I know? I grew up in Ballard.

  4. Zvox says:

    @GooseTarget Correction, SEATTLE is losing it’s identity/history.

  5. jorabohem says:

    I love you Seattle ;)

  6. HeavyMetalGuns says:

    I’ve been living in Washington for nine years now, and I have to say, the stereotype that Ballardites drive like shit have still been proven true, lmao.

    @litlnemo
    Of course. :) How many of us are there?

    I want Ballard Vice!

  8. litlnemo says:

    @jackbridges Hey, wait, your name is familiar. Are you the Jack Bridges I know?

    @pdq340 Word. St. Louis is to some extent a melting pot of different waves of immigration, and we’re ALL bad at driving!

  10. pdq340 says:

    @tdlobib: Not just Julius Pierpont Patches (KIRO-TV)! Also, Stan Boreson & Wunda Wunda (KING-TV), Captain Puget (KOMO-TV), Brakeman Bill (KTNT-TV). All were live childrens TV shows. Of course, JP (aka Chris Wedes) was the wackiest! :-D

  11. pdq340 says:

    @evenmorebetter: In Seattle’s early days, Ballard had a lot of Scandinavian imigrants and this is just an affectionate poke in the ribs at the slower pace of life in that area. In reality, bad driving knows knows no ethnic heritage.

  12. jackbridges says:

    @litlnemo Really it’s: Ah, old Almost Live!

  13. Guenaga84 says:

    CLASSIC :)

  14. kryptin420 says:

    ROFL I remember this segment. Still accurate today. I was born and raised in Ballard in the 80s and lived there up until 2 years ago. This show was always spot on.

    There’s condo’s everywhere in Seattle good news is if people quit buying them you’ll be able to get a cheap apartment in about 3 years.

  16. jpx08 says:

    @GooseTarget That’s pretty much the whole story for Seattle. They have done their damnedest to erase Seattle’s past and they have almost succeeded.

  17. sortashaman says:

    Yep! This seems accurate! I moved to Ballard in ‘95, the tail-end of when it still seemed like its own town, and had character! The opening was shot by “Mike’s”, in the parking lot of the now-defunct Ernst (bought my early house-remodeling supplies there, until end of ‘96).

    Speaking of “Fargo, ND”…I moved to a small town in SW ND in 2002; not too many drivers at all here! A little more German/Russian than Scandinavian, tho!

    Thanks for da memories!

  18. livardo says:

    haha, this is freakin’ hilarious.

  19. tdlobib says:

    Jp Patches off the air and Almost live off the air,the fun has left Seattle.
    Maybe some day someone will have the money to localize TV comedy again.

  20. evenmorebetter says:

    Seattle has a whole neighborhood known for awful drivers?

  21. nwsurfrider says:

    One of my favorite Almost Live skits – ah, memories.

  22. gurrenlove says:

    “New Looks In Hats” hahaha

  23. i240robert says:

    Agreed, it’s funny and accurate. So is Lynnwood Beauty Academy. Wish they would have done skits on J.P. and Nightmare Theatre.
