Dear Family in White SUV outside my house,
Yes, we see you’ve pulled over, oh, and we feel sorry that one of your 2.5 children is a little car sick.Yet I wonder, will you leave that puke in front of my house? As I wonder if I should open the door to that young boy’s embarrassment and his family’s shame to yell, “Get off my lawn!” I go get a beer. And yes, when I come back there is no white SUV, only a small bag of puke. I wonder if that small bag of puke that I will have to put in the garbage, water-logged, is worth saving that young boy from embarrassment. Yes I think but not his parents, so fuck you for not walking the 5 feet to my trash can or taking your family puke with you!—Anonymous

[Actually, this also happened to me the other day, when a very similar vehicle pulled up in front of my office window, and a little kid leaned out the window, and puked before the car drove off. Same assailants? Anyway…]

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.)

  1. This is like the lovely folks that park in front of my house to enjoy a nice fast food meal, and then leave the McDonald’s bag/cup/etc. in the gutter. I don’t get this? What type of crappy person thinks this is ok or somehow justified?

  2. Having your kids puke in front of WSH’s office window should be right at the top of any Portland visitor’s must-do list.
