Glory to the puerile and ever hilarious fart machine! Marvel at its ability to bring city council meetings to a screeching halt! I challenge Blogtownies to get a fart machine into a Portland council meeting. It would be so much more fun than listening to all the crying and whining about bridges, Beau Breedlove, and baseball stadiums. Do it, put the video on-line, and I will be more than happy to post the result. Especially if it looks something like this:
Is shenanigans an Irish surname, or am I just excited it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day?

A CAT/NOT A CAT IS RETIRING FROM BLOGTOWN.
Remember when blogtown was fun? I do. This was a frivolous place where we could have fairly intelligent discussions about the issue of the day while simultaneously celebrating cat friday/caturday and trolling Matt into various nervous breakdowns while he was changing his medications and calling everyone racist. It was fun!
Alas, the whole fucking Sam debacle brought in some sort of ideologue brigade that wanted nothing but SRS BSNS, but unfortunately had the debate skills of lesser apes. Sam-gate sort of wrapped up, but these dipshits just found new things to have completely incompetent show-downs about. It’s fucking boring, and I’m fucking bored.
I know that Rom and jake and all the other half-wits will count this as a win, to which I say “good on you”. You’ve made blogtown insufferably stupid, well done. I’m out.
Kiala, graham, Alison, other decent people: It’s been fun, and I’ll miss you guys.
Mercury arts interns: by and large you all suck. Up your game.
Matt: You’re a talentless hack, but you knew that. Good luck with the mental health issues.
KTHXBAI.
This is awesome.
Does this mean you’re done spamming about photos of cats?
Yes, that’s what it means, new poster. After today I’m gone. I hope some good-hearted people keep Cat Friday alive, though.
