Just before I start with this silly story, I'm not getting at America's small towns so if I offend anyone (which i dont think will happen but just incase...), I'm sorry.
Maybe this should be in the "You know youre obsessed with Supernatural when..." thread because YKYOWSNW the majority of things you see while on holiday seems like something out of an episode of Supernatural. Or more specifically Scarecrow. Seriously - it was wierd. Coincidentally Scarecrow was the episode on the WB that week (which I watched coz the TV in the house had the WB :D Woo hoo!)
First of all the place we were staying was very "small town America" which as we have all learned from Supernatural are the most dangerous places in the world. There was alot of small industrial companies - all of which were something to do with gravel or rock of some kind, which I know doesnt sound very small townish but if you had seen it you would know what I mean and I'm not very sure how to explain it. It was more the look and atmosphere of the place and the airport closed most of the day but opened again each day for the "big plane" which came in from Minneapolis twice a day:roll:. Then there was the wall. Ooh sounds creepy. Actually not so much but there was something odd about it and it was very The Benders. It was a fence outside someones house but it was covered in hubcaps from peoples cars....:o:? (I took a photo of it just coz of how much it reminded me of The Benders lol. I bet the drivers of those cars were in cages out back.) Anyway back to Scarecrow. The major thing up there (and by thing I partly mean tourist scam) was huckleberries which grow in the area and are made into everything. I'm not kidding about the everything part! There was huckleberry coffee, daquiries, beer, lip balm, shampoo, candles, bubble bath, room spray/air freshner stuff, salad dressing (which I found particulary bizarre), chocolate, fudge, gummi bears (they were good. I bought some of those) and even chocolate covered huckleberries. Oh yeah and....PIE!:shock: So there were several conversations about dont eat the pie! and "I hope you're huckleberry pie was freaking worth it!" Ok so that last one wasn't actually said but it would have to have been if we had eaten the pie! !:twisted:
There was also the day we were followed by a big black truck....
There was other stuff which didnt have anything to do with episodes but it made me think of Supernatural just the same. Like when we bought Dean's chocolate milk, which I remember someone mentioning on the boards months ago, and Jensen Jewellers. That made me laugh but got much eye rolling from my brother.Like I said, it should be in the obsessed thread.
I also saw a few ads for the CW which was cool. On a side note, I bought the Tru Calling DVDs and when I watched one of the episodes who should I see but Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Incidentally his character was called Jeffrey lol.
Oh, some of you will have heard about or watched the show Eureka. If you havent, it has something to do with a town filled with people with bizarre abilities. If they were in Smallville they would be the "freak of the week". Unfortunately I havent seen it coz it hasnt started here yet. The guide on here says "The sleepy Pacific Northwest town of Eureka....." Where I was staying on holiday was close to a town called Eureka. And it was pretty damn sleepy. AND it was in the Northwest.....hmmm.....
