Actually the city has 55 plows according to this story:

The only concept I grasp is that you should publish a manual on rules for the snowbound that us drunken snowmen architects and winter Demolition Derby drivers can buy, soon as it hits the thrift shops, and piss all over right after we shovel our sidewalks.

No asshole, this happens once every five years or so. Instead of bitching about snowy sidewalks, maybe YOU should get drunk and build a god damn snowman!

Quit crying you fucking baby. It's all going to be gone by Wednesday. I'm not shoveling shit when it isn't going to last longer than three or four days. It's not like it's going to keep accumulating until it's waist deep and nobody can walk anywhere.

What's wrong with YOU!? This rant is at least 36 hours late! You've had days to get your ire up. Get with it. Rage early and often.

You go now!

Wait, you're actually supposed to care about how your actions affect your neighbors? Like, if I don't shovel, it will make it dangerous for them to walk on my property?

You obviously don't understand the Portland Mercury audience. Caring about people isn't as cool as being able to catalog the number of produce items you've stored in your rectum.

Now go back to your job in prison security. Heard you stayed home from work. You think your the boss, don't think so.

The second I finished my marathon of shoveling and was ready to hit the big hill at Gabriel Park it started freezing raining. God dammit.

Snow like this, in Portland, only happens once every 10 years, or so. The people who don't shovel their walks are Portland natives who know it will be gone in less than 72 hours. The ones that crash their cars are NOT Portland natives and, most likely, transplanted from Southern California.

Quit your bitching and go make a slush-angel while you still can.

Oh we're all so hip and funny. Shoveling the walk is for squares! Lighten up man. Oh look at me, I'm helpless as a damsel in the clutches of a cthulhu! I need a hot toddy to revive me!

No jerkoffs, shoveling the walk is not only the polite and civil thing to do, it's a matter of equity. When you finally don your Columbia snow coats and your cross country skis to head to the restaurant down the road, how do you think the staff got there? They fucking walked, on the un-shoveled walks of Portland's stay-at-home hipsters.

Even during the bad ice and snow storm of 2005, when walking was truly a gamble even for the hale and hardy, people refused to shovel and salt, the employees at New Seasons still had to get there to make sure you had your beer and tempeh. The elderly just have to sit inside and wait for the snow to melt. Parents have to push their strollers through the six inches of snow accumulation on your walk. Grow up and think about other people for a change.

Speaking about change who can I give 5 bucks to shovel my front side because none of my roommates are doing it either.

Please wait...
