To all my neighbors in the Laurelhurst: Fuck you!!!! Oh, you don’t
like bums drinking malt liquor? Go sleep under a fucking bridge some
night, ASSHOLE, and see if you don’t need to get cheaply drunk. Now
you’re busy convincing all the mini-marts to discontinue carrying my
beloved 211 Steel Reserve. For fuck’s sake, why? “Oh, bums are getting
drunk,” you say. Is this a fucking crime!!? Are bums out tagging up
your neighborhood at 3 am? No. They might be howling at the moon
completely shit-faced, but who hasn’t? Are bums threatening anyone?
Does it bother you to be asked for spare change when you won’t even
look them in the face? Leave their beer the fuck alone. Better yet,
stay the fuck away from my 211 High Gravity. I work 40 hours a week
like the rest of you slobs, and when I get home I WANT TO GET FUCKIN’
CRUNKED!!!! How dare you mount your gilded steed of superiority and
cast down your judgments as if your own life has any meaning? Go zip
home from Henry’s after a couple drinks and kill some
pedestrian—make it a hobo, why don’t you? You’re all scum,
dirtier than any bum, and less fun to hang out with.-Anonymous

  1. That is quite the bum commute from Henry’s on Burnside/NW11th to Laurelhurst.

  2. No, no: I believe the point of that passage was to shame those in Laurelhurst by noting that they hang out in annoying pestholes like Henry’s, git all shitty and drive drunk, occasionally killing people.

    This is the ‘demonstrating the hypocrisy of others’ argument that all good observers of this kind of screed know is coming, and are waiting for. It can be simplified to, “Oh, like YOU’RE so good?”

  3. Ok, it looks like this guy is mad because some stores stopped selling his favorite malt liqour. He believes that is because asshats who drink at Henry’s and drive drunk home to Laurelhurst have convinced the stores to stop selling this hooch. Could it be however… that the stores stopped selling it because they don’t want the bums in their stores? Or… perhaps it is just all sold out by the time this guy gets there. Or maybe he should switch to OE 800.

  4. Fuck that, motherfucker should man up and drink some Camo like all the other post frat bros. Or head up to TJ’s for some Simpler Times for 3.99 a six pack.

  5. I agree about the asshats. This town has alot of people who don’t like the ugly parts of city living but want to live in the city so here’s a challenge for you. Do something to change it. Our city officials would rather spend billions on soccer stadiums and dumb ass ski lifts instead of opening more resources to help the people on the street who want to get off the streets some help. But no matter what they do city’s have homeless, crime, minorities, kids being bad, gangs and unfortunately random violence. If you don’t like it you can move to some small town in eastern Oregon or better yet rural Idaho.Portland would be alot better with-out stuck up snobby asshats like you.
