Leaping 35 (or 80... or ANY) feet onto my manbits sounds really fucking unpleasant. I don't think I wanna go swimming ever again, for the sake of my balls.

"Beer guzzling hicks" - as opposed to the PBR swilling, puking hipster shitheads that have infested the Hawthorne district?

The Merc's writer's snivel about every type of descrimination under the sun (real or percieved), but you constantly bash those that choose to live outside of Portland.

Fuck you and you snobbery; At least we don't have drunks shitting in our doorways in Sandy.

@Sandy Guy - Just stumbled on this site googling for river info, but you are so right! The urbanoid hipsters are much more biased and insular than people out in the middle american 'normal zone'

Yes, I totally agree with Sandy Guy, but except for the "shitting in our doorways" part of the comment. Most of those Hawthorne PBR swilling puking hipster shitheads shit their pants, not in doorways. I have seen drunk punks along the strip pleading with shop keepers to let them clean themselves up. What the hell has happened here in this city? It used to be cool.
