PDX.FM presents: THE 2010 UNICORN PUB CRAWL ?!?!?!???? Why unicorns you might ask? And what is the purpose of celebrating unicorns, you might also ask? Good fucking […]

Your World Cup Slow-Mo Fix
While watching a recent World Cup 2010 match, a buddy of mine briefly commented on the lack of slow-motion replay that happens during the broadcasts of these games.

To The Lady Who Almost Killed Me During My Bike Commute This Morning…
You. Old lady with the bright blue eye-shadow, who almost sideswiped me on my bike this morning… I believe you were wrong, in the assertion you made, in our brief (yet heated) debate when I caught up with you at the stop light of NE 20th and Broadway. You claimed that I should have stayed […]

Crashing The Party For The Tallest Man to Run For Governor This Year…
I arrive at the Rose Garden happy to see that parking is free for the night. I am greeted by many a eyebrow raising smile and ushered into a large room that smells like strong perfume and hair gel. It’s 7:40 and there is no Chris Dudley yet. I can tell by the amount of […]
