the oregon coast will kill you...

yikes.

rockets!

so simon's over the other day talking about "dude, rockets this and rockets that. you should do this rocket thing with us. it's more awesome than a neil diamond concert. chicks love it. it's power and speed and fuel all wrapped into a nugget of sick and twisted carnage dangling from a GI Joe-sized parachute."
the next day i got the text message designating the coordinates for the LZ.
however, sadly, i had to skip out.
i went fishing or had to brush out the dog or something? here's what i missed:

two things i've certain of..

1. it's only a matter of time before these damn columbia river sea lions yank a small kid into the drink.

2. this kid has unabomber domestic terrorist written all over him. my kids, er, won't know that computers exist until their 18, unless the robots take over before then?

great minds think...

alike.

finding this website...sniff...is like that time...sniff...i didn't know who my real father was...sniff...but my prostitute mom thought it was probably one of three guys that were regular customers. so we all went on the maury show for paternity tests.
it wasn't any of the three, but we all had a good time in NYC.

Things About Portland That Suck

good help is hard to find these days...

come on, dude.
if you have political aspirations, how do you not keep your dick in your pants? amazing.
the portland mayor's office goes from crazy, cat lady vera katz to clint eastwood wanna be, grandpa tom potter to probable pedophile, but for sure cradle robber, and excellent dresser, sam adams.
i really wanted to like this guy. and to make matters worse his attitude is "sorry dudes, i shouldn't have done that. hey, what's for dinner?".
some of portland is disgusted. some don't care. some say it's no big deal. some say, "hey, he's gay. why you making this a gay thing? why you all up in his gay-shit? why you gotta be like that? what are you some kind of bigot? man, this is portland. move if you don't like embracing change. what are you some kind of bigot?"

it's gonna be a tough couple of months here in bumper sticker portland.

hey! look over there! it's a bird! it's a duck! hey, obama got elected!*
*sam adams hides under his desk until this blows over.
