For those that think that Seattle is the most boring place on the planet (I should know, I lived there for ten boring years—kidding, the first eight were okay, then it got SUPER boring), check out this highly unusual grocery list found in a parking lot there. Now I’m not saying I want to move back… however, maybe we can convince Walter to move here? He seems to have everything we need.
Waitasecond… what exactly are you going to do with an “XL cucumber,” Mr. Smiley Face??
Via.
This list becomes 10x as funny when you picture “Walter” as being Walter Sobchak.
This reminds of the shopping list in this Onion article:

hmm, that was a bizzare firefox bug, try this link:

It’s a fake-fake-fake.
Yeah, it’s fake and has already been acknowledged as such on the stranger’s blog. I really don’t freaking understand what compels people to post fake “funny” things on-line when the very thing that makes them funny is (or, would be) the fact they were real.
In defense of Seattle’s supermarket sweep cred, grocery shopping is indeed a pretty surreal event up here.
For example:
-Cap Hill lesbian couple contemplating a mound of yogurt, something like 6 pallets-worth (we’re talking at least 50 cups), eying it carefully. The youngish of the two shrugs and says, “I guess we should lighten the load?” and her partner takes a randomly placed “lite” yogurt and hands it to the cashier. “Okay, we’ll take the rest”.
-Hipster couple and their 5 bottles of lube proudly squawking about their “wild weekend” and finally admitting it’s for a slip and slide
-Woman screaming into her phone that she’s bought a sheetcake, “because that’s how sad you’ve made me, I’m going to eat the whole goddamn thing by myself in the dark while touching myself”, with TWO sheetcakes and, again, a bottle of lube.
-Old lady buying lots of cat food, cashier says “that for your cat?”, “no,” she says plainly, “I don’t have cats”. (though it could be for birds, whatever)
I can see why Walter needs Preparation H.
Also in defense of the Stranger, someone actually did find it in a Walgreens parking lot and thought that it was real until someone else found an identical shopping list in a different location.
