this may be the greatest thing in the history of history.

the future of basketball...

i can't wait until rudy, bayless, and roy pull some volleyball shit like this:



1. why isn't everyone in the crowd going ape shit after this? it's like they've seen it 100 times. maybe they have?
2. check the score. after one quarter.
3. that poor kid that got teabagged is gonna be scarred for life.

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.

bears, beets, battlestar galactica.

if you're not watching this show, don't start now. rent it from the beginning. it's ridiculously good.
unfortunately, most people i know refuse to watch shows that are longer than a half hour and don't involve text voting.
so i have no one to discuss with its importance and awesome-ness.* *single tear drips down cheek

home improvement questions...

remodeling and updating projects continue in the cottage. the latest task involves replacing the awesome 1970s, brady bunch basement, fake wood paneling in the front room. the novelty of walking through the front door and instantly being transported to a rec room in graceland has worn off after a couple years. as the process begins i've uncovered some mysteries.

1. is it normal for older (1940s) houses in the northwest to be built with zero insulation?

2. what's the world record for giant killer hornets' nests found in a wall? because the one pictured below was the smallest of three huge sections. you can kind of see it in the first picture, too. it smelled great.
