GUYS! You are gonna freaking LOVE this. Remember how I, Anonymous has always been a fun, fascinating, and often infuriating read? That’s because YOU guys write it every week! Your crazy rants and confessions have made the print version of I, Anonymous one of the Mercury‘s most popular sections every week.

BUT!!

Online? I, Anonymous has kind of been a pain in the patoot. It was always hard to find, harder to make a submission, and hardest of all to see them all in one place! That’s why we’re psyched to introduce—THE NEW I, ANONYMOUS BLOG!

Simply hit the link to read all the most recent I, Anonymous submissions that come into the Mercury, AS WELL AS SUBMITTING YOUR OWN! Simply hit the “Submit an I, Anonymous” link at the top of the page (or here if you’re too goddamn impatient), type in a clever title and your 300 word rant/confession, and hit SUBMIT. As soon as an editorial peon (most likely me) checks it for any potential legally/libelly issues—don’t worry, we will never edit your stupid opinion, or your atrocious spelling (though no homophobic or racist language is allowed)—it will pop up on the I, Anonymous blog!

It’s like a brand new, desolate, post-Apocalyptic world ready to explore! And YES, commenters: a whole new world to troll.

You can get to our new I, Anonymous blog quickly and easily through our main page, or click here if you simply can’t wait. READ… SUBMIT… and DROWN in an ocean of infuriating rants. It’s the new I, Anonymous Blog!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  5. There needs to be an easy link from b/town to this, or I’ll forget about it. Also as graham suggests above, a rating system by users would be cool.

  6. Fruit Cup – There’s a green-colored “Blogs” dropdown menu in the menubar at the top of the page. Hover over that to conveniently find the link.

  9. Leaky: In that same menubar at the top of the site, it says, “Personals” – click that to find Lovelab.

    Yeah, it’s pretty bewildering that the programmers of this website decided to put a menubar at the top of the site that contains the links to every page on it. Not sure what they were thinking…

  11. THE NEW LOVELAB!
    READ THINGS THEY WOULDN’T TELL THEIR AUNTS!
    SEE THEM IN THEIR SKANTS!
    TRY TO GET IN THEIR PANTS!
    MAYBE EVEN TAKE THEM OUT TO DANCE!

  13. LOL That`s exactly what am doing when exploring the Lovelab, am prowling the scene first to then attack. I will be there as Leaky Too. Recognize.

  14. @ROM, you treat that blogs thing like it’s obvious. I spend most of my surfing time on a non-mouse enabled device. But still, now that you point it out, I fail to see how that escaped my attention…

    @12, Rating system will be rad! Can’t wait!

  15. @Todd, is something different about Lovelab? Still looks a bit boring to me. I mean, I never thought so until I witnessed the awesomeness of The Stranger’s personal ads. I mean, come on. Portland’s doing it wrong, in comparison.

  16. @Cup, no nothing’s different, I was just suggesting a RAD! RE! VAMP! OF! SOME! KIND!

    I agree that the Stranger’s ads are better, and–WHAT, DEAR? Sorry, that was my wife asking why I’ve been looking at personal ads on the Internet. Gotta go.

  17. Jumped over to the new blog. This is really the saddest thing about the Mercury now.

    Except for the sloths. Sloths are super excellent.

  18. Robocat – yeah, “I, Anon” doesn’t really flow with my posicore mentality. I hear people complain all day, pretty much.

    But where are the sloths? I love sloths, but I don’t see them. Where are they?

  20. The sloths are right below “Dear Methadone Clinic”, ROM, and they’re soooo cute 🙂 I agree with the ‘people complain all day’ sentiment; and now that there’s more than one per week/day/hour, the bloom is off the rose.

    Steven Humphrey, I will not acknowledge the sadness of your Justin Bieber obsession until I receive my tickets to the Laurelhurst Theater and No Fish Go Fish.
