uhhh a transplant complaining about transplants? that's really fucking rich. the people born and raised in whatever stupid town you're living in now probably hates you and all the other "portland natives."
The people who live here watch Portlandia and say "that's a clever parody". The people moving to Portland watch Portlandia and think "this is what it's really like". Anytime I see these clusters of girls in tight black jeans and sleeve tats of cherry blossoms I know I'm looking at the reason I'll eventually leave this town.
The only thing that would be considered clever about Portlandia, is the idea of it actually being written by someone who was actually raised in, lets say.. Portland.
Your town has a cafe, a coffee shop, a bike shop, an art gallery, and a church? Incredible.
Where is this mysterious golden Shangri-La, this utopian vision of progressive economic diversity that has so enchanted your soul with its harmonic balance of life's necessities? It all sounds like the fanciful fever vision of a half dead lunatic stranded in the deep desert dying of thirst, gazing longingly at the nearest mirage, hallucinating that a clump of cacti is a nickel per bottle soda machine and their fingers are hotdogs.
swingers was a movie about a certain type of hollywood/LA people written by a guy from new york, no one ever seemed bummed out by that, so what difference does it make whether or not a person was born in a city they're parodying?
i think some of the bits and caricatures are funny to one degree or another, and sometimes are on the nose. i think the disliking of portlandia is this city taking itself too seriously and hating on things that exemplifies itself as a city that is becoming increasingly more popular.
Bort, i hate to disagree but only because parodying means to mimic humorously. How can you mimic something, if you haven't lived here until just now?
I like Portlandia, but I'm with Munch. I kind of also wish they had a Portland native on the writing staff, to humorously mimic Portland using one our own. Who would know how to twist actual facts about Portland and make them relatable.
I went to PRESCHOOL on the park blocks when I was 4 years old. At ST. James. where I now buy pot when my dealers out. I THINK THAT COUNTS AS GROWING UP IN PORTLAND. fucktard
Portlanders like to stick together. If you're going to ruin our town we'll just move somewhere else. My family is APACHE. So excuse me for returning to my HOMELAND. White people just don't understand.
Timber subsidies? This is the desert. We dont have trees here. You people are INSANE. So glad I left. SO GLAD. You are also real jerks. There I said it.
Yeah backwater shit burg, because it doesn't have people like you. Because we shoot people like you in the country. Thank GOD. for that. Which is why you are there, and I am here. Hiding behind your laptop fapping away.
We eat real good too buddy. I just had some locally grown, free range organic 'elk' .
But people in portland dont know anything about eating locally or not supporting factory farms. Yep nothing but hotdogs .. who is hallucinating. Look behind you! Quick! A giant pink dragon! (sound of me running for the hills from portlands zombie apocolypse of asshats)
Actually Sleater - Kinney is from the Lacey / Olympia area to be specific. Near Sleater-Kinney street.
Um. You probably don't believe me. I HAD to leave portland sorry. TO MANY RETARDS! geezus. FAUCKING. Christ. deepfried on a stick. Question. Do zombies eat other zombies? What happens when you run out of food guys?
@Bort oh yeah. And I'm here because the people don't hate me. Unlike say... portland?
Yeah my mom's family is from the area going back to the earliest records kept in 1596... so I guess that makes me a transplant? Thanks for proving my point. You are a pos. I am not. Now go home and hang yourself. PLEASE. Because no body likes you buddy. No one.
It isn't really leaching if I'm bringing it is it? I mean zoobombers? Did you ever live at their forest grove warehouse? Or Martial Art studio? Liberation Collective? Cascadia Forest Alliance? The Hive?
You see me and my friends are the exclusive reason portland is awesome. Or was. Since you obviously have no skills. Watch your city decent into madness and poverty now that all the real talent is fleeing like rats off a burning ship. I'd say go to hell, but it sounds like you're already there.
Oh wait. Let me put this in a language you can understand. As they say in Portlandia: "The mayor has left the building." Have fun with your 'temp'.
AHAHAHHAHahahahaha
AAAAhghahahahahaha
One more thing. When I went to ST. James I was raised by hippies who sung "love is something if you give it away, you'll end up having more. " Obviously you don't know what portland is all about. I however, do. Thanks for calling me barely coherent. It must be all the fine liquor I've been drinking constantly and herb I've been smoking. Having come from a family of lawyers and computers programmers, (my self being a University of Oregon Alum); I must be pretty dumb. Glad I make assumptions about people, to show how smart I am like you.

I'm just glad you don't liver here buddy. That is ALL that matters. Think about it. I HATE you. Because you are a retard.

*Evil laughter.*
Excuse me, I have to go stroke my kitty.
and has a lot of time on their hands...
and a really poor grasp of the English language...
and possibly latent anger/ abandonment issues...
