I had to read this one slowly! Yep, another vote for a city girl with hairy legs or a suburbanite with a unibrow. LOL!

My husband says it sounds like a Bushism, like "stategery."

I think it sounds like some person living in the city who wears birks - sort of on the lines of the city girl who doesn't shave her legs (though I wear birks - without socks, guys! - and I shave my legs.

Ok. For free. Here's a real original. "Seattle Does it Better!" Or, how 'bout this, "Do it better in Seattle!"

I'm tired of all these labels for everything. People who appreciate boths worlds have existed for a long time...and NOW we have to have a word for it.

Tell me...what does a metronatural drive and wear - so I can go buy it and be a part of it.

I'm over it.

Well it's no stupider than the "Emerald City" or "See@L" which thankfully most everyone quickly ignored. Geez this is so embarrassing.

Metronatural - I thought it might be someone who is "a natural" at navigating metro stations. I seem to always get on the bus I want going in the wrong direction - but I'm a natural when it comes to metro rail transit.

Am I a Metronatural?

Of course in San Francisco our transit is called Muni and the streetcars and subways are called Muni Metro.

Metro reminds me of a city. Natural, sort of eco / green minded individual. So a city dweller who takes public transit or drives a hybrid car.

This slogan will go the way of the famous Vegas slogan:

"Las Vegas, It's For Families!"

Why didn't they just use au naturel?

Provocative and about as back to the lush and green healthy hiking and gluteus maximus Adam and Eve days as it gets..

Or they could have promoted the caffeine connection with Java Boy and Grinder Grrl.....

Then what of Bill's contribution?
Microfantasy? Life Simulator 2006?

How about an ode to popular transportation in the area? CloggedArteries and FerryScenic4U..

**oh right, time for the meds again

>"So quick, what word did you first think of when you saw that?>

A phrase and it was "Dumbest Slogan Ever".

I don't know how many times that I come everyday to check out the posts. But everytime in the last two days, I stop and look at "metronatural"

It still looks unnatural and somewhat kinky. Whatever it is, it doesn't describe a city that I think I would like to visit. One time, it made me think of methane gas and manure.
