Say that to my fiancee who had to walk 2 miles in this garbage so she could keep her job.

^ I did! this morning after she left my bed.

Really? How could you have made that happen? Did you somehow master cloning and rapid aging techniques? Or was it some sort of hallucination magic that you hexed me with this morning when she was totally at home? Was I sleeping with a doppelganger? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEACH ME! TEACH ME YOUR DOPPELGANGER TECHNIQUES!

Or we go to work or buy food or whatever else we need to do. In the snow. I agree that people talking up their place of origin and its weather is annoying. If it was so great, why DID YOU MOVE HERE?

I'm honestly mostly annoyed by the people who feel that this is a special magical weather treat and not a blowing, freezing shit storm. I moved away from the midwest to GET AWAY from this. People shouldn't be driving, people shouldn't be having to go to work, people shouldn't have to be anywhere but home. This shit is quite seriously dangerous.

Love the snow and from the looks of things from our view, so do most people. It is pretty impressive no matter where they are from. It won't last so for all the Killjoys, shut your trap!

Fully agreed, anonie. This is only one of many ignunt things you'll hear from people who recently moved here. Can't find a decent bagel, no worthwhile barbecue, what the hell did you people do to this pizza - SHUT UP.

Again, you moved here for a reason. We don't get snow very often. And surprise: this leads to us having a somewhat strange relationship to snow.

Well, you can't find a decent bagel, or pizza for that matter. I don't believe that there is such a thing as decent barbeque. All that aside, there seems to be more bitching about people making light of the weather situation than there are people actually doing that. So fuck all of you.

Yeah, that's right midwesterners... go back to your shithole towns with your fourteen feet of snow, and shut the fuck up already. Go sit in your shitty midwestern dive bars, and listen to your shitty new country over the jukebox... where the best women can be considered hot if they cover up their cottage cheese hips and don't flaunt it with four-sizes too small spandex, and where they clean the grease off their children's sized eyeglass frames more than once a month. Leave us to this great city of Portland, where we can frolic in finely powdered snow by day in raw denim jeans that are neatly cuffed, and be in bars with tens at night and sort of maybe be in a band, and hey wanna go back to my place and watch a tv show on netflix? I have some whiskey.

Lyle: Don't forget where you're at, fucko.

Oregon's a hick state. Sure, every small town back east / down south / whatever expelled their hippest, vainest, most emotionally insecure young adults to Portland like a piping hot stream of millennial diarrhea-- are these the "tens" you speak of? Because that's goddamned hilarious.

Sure, they might be a little easier to look at than the "cottage cheese hips" people at.... oh, just about every fucking bar in Oregon that isn't in a hip inner Portland neighborhood overrun with transplants. You know, the kind of bar where natives drink-- REAL ORYGUNIANS-- while listening to New Country and talking about hunting or sand rails or some other such lowbrow square-state shit.

I hate to break it to you, but it seems that you think the midwestern transplants are hot. That's who you're oogling. Let's not confuse them with the real, multi-generational, dyed-in-the-wool lifelong cottage cheese-lookin' Oregonians.

Everyone shut the fuck up with your dumb stereotypes, go outside and build a fucking snowman.
12
But there is good pizza/bagels/whatever here. Because all these people get tired of living other places and move here. They tend to bring their food with them. This is a good thing. That's why I'm saying it's a stupid complaint.
13
Chunty makes a pretty good point. Obviously not one that will go over well, but it is impossible to have dialogue if everyone thinks the same thing.
14
Your a joke. Your probably not from here either. This shit/snowstorm is really nothing. I don't care if everybody takes a day off and goes and gets wasted in the snow. Why the fuck can't you people drive, function, or get anything done whatsoever? Get off your ass, shovel your sidewalk and get on with your life.

The worthless sonsabitches!!

Funny. Every time I hear a so called "Portlander" tell someone to go back to wherever they are from. I can't help but laugh at said "Portlander" from Lame-Ass town, USA. Sure I'll go back. Did you want to make your little sister a hip care package for me to bring her? Fucking transplant.
17
Native black Portlanders don't sweat none of this shit you all are talking about.

Emil: I don't know you, and already I don't fucking like you, and I'm pissed that people like you flock here.

Please wait...
