YES, I was waiting for this post! I totally noticed DamosA in there, but it seemed sad to point out that I can now recognize grumpy Internet commenters in real life too.

Sam Adams and Ron Funches have actually been on Portlandia. And probably more than just those two.

And thanks for the old man dick surprise.

So he counts John McAfee as a Portlander? A British guy who moved here a month ago?

I guess that's a pretty high bar, and totally not just click-bait.

He should've shot a Vanity-Fair-cover-like group pic with McAfee, Darklady, DamosA, and Lion Guy, and sold it to Palahniuk for the cover of an updated "Fugitives and Refugees."

Admittedly I liked the pics of Nik, Rachael, and Jed, but I did find it amusing they attempted to debunk Portlandia by taking pictures of someone in Portlandia.

Also, why didn't he call me? I'm pretty photogenic. http://www.flickr.com/photos/toddmecklem/5…

All these people seem pretty real to me too though. I mean sure, there are more piercings and tattoos than you'd find in a lot of places, but those aren't really all that weird anymore are they? Certainly not for a dude from SF, right?

Why didn't he film me at my desk financial analyzing for the man in head to toe Old Navy 80 hours a week? Pretty sure that wouldn't make it onto Portlandia yet here I am...

Todd, your pants look like ventilation tubes.

@AMA

Yeah, they're definitely as "real" as the rest of us (as I mentioned above)... but I think I would just be a lot more comfortable about this project if the photog would've been more upfront about it. Like "Here are a bunch of Portlanders who inspired Portlandia" rather than inferring that "this is what everyone who lives in Portland is like."

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrtttt!

Like there aren't plenty of wierdos in the Bay Area- oh right unless they are secret yuppies or trustafarians they've all been priced out and have to live in Oakland or a homeless shelter.

Yo Weedman! Girl, you just got SERVED.

My junk runs hot, ROM, I need some air flow.

This got posted on Reddit and Damosa made two accounts to argue with me and agree with himself.

Also: fuck this shit in the face.
