OREGON PEOPLE (also referred to as Oregonians, Oregonites, and Oregeishans)

John Heder from Napoleon Dynamite was born and raised in Oregon, parts of the movie was even filmed here

We have: ocean, mountains, desert, valley, rivers, lakes, and every other form of topographical bliss!

We are in Oregon, the best state in the US, which means we have skiing in the east, farm country in the valley, wine country in the south, skiing (again) right smack in the middle, the ocean out to the west, and not too many suburbs since we have urban growth boundaries, take your pick.

The Rose Festival includes the largest all floral parades in the country.

P-town is the City of Roses.

Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the country.

We can drink any city/state under the table. We have more microbreweries per capita than Germany! (i.e. we have a better night life than you!)

We have more ghost towns than any other state - yeah, we're pretty spooky.

We don't have to pump our own gas.

We don't have sales tax, either.

Oregonians will actually voice their opinions.

Astoria, OR is the top place in the nation to retire as said by the New York Times, I guess I'll keep that in mind when I'm in my 60s....

Average Precipitation - 37" (less than Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston or Seattle - and without that nasty humidity) - Take that!

More people drink Pabst Blue Ribbon in Portland than anywhere else in the US.

Rogue Ale Brewery, Full Sail, Pelican Brewery, Widmer, Deschutes Brewery and so much more! So many choices... so many beers... again with the best night life...

We can hit the club, drink at a friend's house, go to the beach, and go skiing all in one weekend, year round.

We have the country's leading clean-air mass transit system for all those who care about breathing...

Matt Groening, creator of The Simpson's is from P-town and his father's name is Homer.

We know how to drive, period. Dont believe me? Check out http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060528/BUSINESS/605280324/1040

Tillamook cheese is the shit!

We have The Original Pancake House.

All of you played the Oregon Trail computer game and drowned your oxen on purpose... and you know it.

Winter and spring may cause you to rust, but the summers average around 80 with no humidity.

We take snow days whenever because it's always snowing on Mt. Hood.

TV shows about rich kids whining haven't got shit on The Simpson's. Oh and don't forget The Shining..."Here's Johnnnnyyyy!!" ... that was filmed at Timberline Lodge. One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest was filmed in the State Hospital in Salem. And Animal house was filmed in Eugene Oregon. Kindergarden Cop, The Goonies, Short Circuit, Free Willy, Chuthlu, and The Ring 2 were all filmed in Astoria. ninja turtles three and Point break (the last and best scene) was filmed in cannon beach.

Fuck Blue Crab... Dungeness Crab is the shit, no butter necessary.

We have Crater Lake, America's deepest lake and Hells Canyon, the world's deepest river carved canyon.

We don't have an accent.

Every time you see one of the Trail Blazers, not on the basketball court, they are high.

We can't blame them, Oregon herb is dank.

Grown men who wear Birkenstocks are manly... (in Eugene)

We clam bake, hot box, and smoke out, not up.

We get off school for one inch of snow.

Our crab is better than Maine's lobster.

We have the best Shakespeare Festival in the world.

Move over Napa Valley... the Willamette Valley is coming to getchya!

Medical Mary J aint bad either

You can pretty much drive anywhere in Oregon and enjoy it because I would have to say that the MEN & WOMEN in Oregon Kick ASS for being beautiful !!
