Drunken Basketball Jonez
Portland State University is playing in the NCAA tournament today for the second year in a row. They face off against Xavier in Boise, Idaho, at 4:25 pm. I truly enjoy watching basketball, especially if I’m drinking at the same time. The problem is I’m not so great with the lingo. I’m picking it up […]

No One’s Here Today
There are only three of us at work today in the editorial department and we’re all drunk already (that’s a lie, we’re desperately holding off ’til 3 pm). Alison made Marjorie and me some delicious cake, so I will repay the kindness by blogging about a kitten who will kick your ass for a slice. […]

Too Filthy to Be a Cat Friday Entry
What follows is a hilarious and VERY NSFW sketch comedy video that involves sex with cats, boners, romance, hang gliding, and 9/11. Oh, and I don’t know why I was reminded about this… but be sure to tune in to the Mercury next week for our annual Sex Survey Results issue, which includes four out […]

In Which I Inquire How to Get Tia’s Starcase
Growing up, I was a wee bit obsessed with Escape to Witch Mountain. My sister and I would race home from school to fire up the old Betamax to watch the scene where Tony and Tia wander around their new playroom in Daddy Warbucks’ mansion. Remember the ice cream parlor and Winky the Cat’s tricked-out […]

Friday Compromise?
Steve, Erik… How about we compromise? Today could be Cat Head Biscuit Day! What with the Southern influence and the cats, this could be a vision of our future Fridays on Blogtown…
