Funniest Local Blog Since SnarkyI have no idea who this woman is or if this blog is totally fake, but it sure it funny. Some quotes: From here: There are also stories about poor people, homeless people, etc. No one wants to read that. And please, there are no poor people in Bend! We keep our poor people in Redmond and LaPine. They have their own poor-people communities there and I’m sure they’re very happy. It’s a marvelous system we have in Central Oregon.And from here: Recently, Bend (indeed, my little Awbrey Butte neighborhood) made it onto the cover of the Wall Street Journal. It was very exciting. My neighbor Joan Grundeman was even quoted in it. She’s a wonderful woman with an impeccable house. Some part-time nurse had strung up clotheslines to dry her sheets. Can you imagine? Clotheslines on Awbrey Butte? That’s quite below us. We can all afford driers (and believe me–the best driers) on Awbrey Butte.The blog's only been up a few days, and I have no idea who Sally Heatherton is (she only appears on google from some local blogs, including my own as she posted a comment here), Can't find anything on Google, about her and her real estate business, nor is there anything on the Dex white pages nor are there local property records with that last name (that could be her maiden name, however). She's also not listed with the State as a real estate agent. Whoever's writing the blog is hilarious. It's amazing how silly/stupid/satirical it reads. But it made me laugh. Any theories? Update: One thing I forgot to check. She posted a comment here on the above clothesline article and she also e-mailed me to add her to bendblogs.com using the submission form on that site. Both submissions were filtered through an anonymous proxy. Well played, "Sally." Posted by Jake on 09/25/07 @ 12:13 PM

RMA said on 09/25/07 @ 03:26 PM: God, I can't wait to find out how it ends. We're getting characters now! Jon's wife said on 09/25/07 @ 05:00 PM: *she* posted on Jon's blog too...he was going to blog about it, but you beat him to it ;) He also looked *her* up, the same as you :) Jake said on 09/25/07 @ 05:09 PM: I got tipped to her because he/she/it posted a comment on the clothesline story, using that blog URL, and then asked to be added to bendblogs.com (no e-mail provided). One thing I forgot to check was her IP address on those two communications: [insert a few minutes while I do that] While both IP addresses were the same, my guess is this person is really trying to remain anonymous as the traffic was filtered through an anonymous proxy. Well done, whoever you are. dartagnan said on 09/26/07 @ 06:32 AM: ROTFLMAO!!! That is some seriously funny shit! And like all good satire it's right on the money. My guess would be that "Sally" is a 40- or 50-something man. Mrs H said on 09/26/07 @ 07:17 AM: I wish snarky was still around. KOHD launched their news this morning and I was wondering what he/she thought. Cheryl Howard said on 09/26/07 @ 08:19 AM: *insert polite golf applause here* Josh said on 09/26/07 @ 11:05 AM: I was wondering the same thing about KOHD. Up in Seattle, I don't see it--would like to see some posted on YouTube or something. Jen said on 09/27/07 @ 01:17 AM: Maybe someone's a fan of LOST ... there was an actress named Sally Strecker that played a character named Lucy Heatherton. Coincidence? Probably! But just thought I would jump into the fray... http://lost.wikia.com/wiki/Sally_Strecker Post a comment |
