A middle of nowhere town that is filled with idiotic, waste of oxygen folks that will bury you alive if you do not agree with their own opinions. This town is filled with rednecks, loggers, biggots, and homophobes, so there is an absolute zero percent chance you may ever agree with what they believe in. Also to even more emphasize on the logger part, Hoquiam stands for "hungry for wood". So, if you ever take a trip to Washington State, make sure you avoid this miserable town at all costs.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
