LOL, I am from the mountainz. This is weak. The only thing I worry about when it's like this is other Portlanders. I FUCKING MADE IT TO WORK BECAUSE I AM GANGSTER. Everyone else can eat me.
The lamest thing about Portland is that it wouldn't know a real crisis if one bit it in the ass. If someone gets a flat on the I-5, it takes 8 flares, 3 police cars and a towtruck to get that shit together again. God forbid anything actually happens here.
That photo looks exactly like it looks here, in Upstate NY, now. We had about that much snow overnight. Of course we are all going to make it to work, school, whatever - without a lot of fuss. We are finally getting our share of winter here, after the warmest December on record ... those folks in your neck of the woods sound like a bunch of woosies ! And I HATE seeing Birkenstocks with socks (a real Ithaca fashion statement). I mean, really ... :-(
Are you guys digging the house out from under a blizzard now? The cold snap in NYC made the news here. 9 degrees this morning?!!
Oh yeah, this place is wuss-filled like a jelly wuss doghnut of wuss!
I think you guys have a lot of the same fashion disasters we do here, such as Birks with socks, white boys with long dreadlocks, and Polar Fleece on CEOs. All that crap flies here. Even the damn undertakers don't wear suits here! Come on!
Have you seen the footage on TV of the Mensa members out there on the road? Note to Portlanders: DON'T HIT THE GAS OR BRAKE IF YOUR CAR IS SLIDING! Oy vey!
Portlanders drive like old people fuck.cuervolindaJanuary 17 2007, 00:38:12 UTC
Well at least the actual property damage shouldn't be an issue for PDX residents involved in accidents, seeing as how the most valuable part of the average Portland vehicle is it's collection of pro-Wymmin/Impeachment/Green Party stickers.
Dude, have you tried to drive in that shit yet? Seriously. It's not east coast/midwestern dry snow. It's icy underneath, because they don't have salt truck.
Besides, getting snowed in is the coolest thing in the world. Embrace the drama!

It's not a big whoop. If you drive slowly, you don't skid. Ray drove to and from work in it today. They are forbidden to salt the roads here because it may kill a clump of endangered crabgrass.
Getting snowed in IS fun. But the first word of snowed in is SNOW. This hardly qualifies. And if I can go outside in a tanktop and mules, they can't even use "cold" as an excuse. Trust me, the hard wet chilly rain here is far more shitty to be out in.

Hmm I'll agree with you on the cold damp west coast winter totally sucks. This past freeze we have had was so nice as I could actually get warm. BTW, maybe I'll come up on Ted's next trip; they are usually the 2nd week of the month. He drives up after work on Sunday, but we might come on Saturday so I'll have Sunday and Monday. You make Portland sound so desireable I can't stay away for too much longer. Prepare yourself to be disappointed when you meet me.
Will You Come Bearing Goats?cuervolindaJanuary 27 2007, 11:11:44 UTC
Dissapointed? Won't you do magic tricks and speak in tongues? Come on, now...
It was over 60 degrees and sunny here today. Absolutely gorgeous. Come on up and we'll go on a murderous rampage against cyclists who refuse to obey traffic laws here. Are you still thinking you might come? Now is the time. The house is SPOTLESS so you'll think we aren't slobs here.
Bigot! you should try harder to respect cultural differences.
haha I crack myself up. even if there is some truth to it. A friend from NYC used to say she stopped jaywalking in Seattle in order to respect cultural differences. That and to not lure people without the look-both-ways-gene to their deaths.
If it Wasn't True, I Would laugh With YoucuervolindaJanuary 27 2007, 11:16:34 UTC
This place is so fucking hideously PC it goes all the way around to being horribly narrow-minded and bigoted again.
And NO ONE knows to look at oncoming traffic when they cross the street here. At least once per driving excursion I ask Ray, "Should I hit that asshole?" This entire tolerant no horn-honking or ass-kicking town has completely fucked up the entire concept of natural selection. Now the stupid and the senseless are free to go forth and multiply, and then breast feed the fruit of their loins until it's 8.
It's snowing in goddamn Malibu right now. Can you believe that? They must be going completely apeshit.
I hate snow. I hate it so goddamn much. I used to have to walk home from work in the snow every night, and I fell on my ass all the time. I just couldn't bring myself to wear the shoes that were necessary. Or the coats. That's why I don't live in those snowy places anymore. That's why I came back to sunny SoCal. And now it's snowing in Malibu! But at least now I have a car, which is good because I don't have Birkenstocks or wool socks.
"I don't have Birkenstocks or wool socks." That's because your momma raised you right.
How long did the snow last there? It hung around for a few slushy crappy days here, but now we're back to sun and 60 degrees. NYC, you can kiss my fat lily-white ass.
I think it only lasted a day. It was sunny all this week, but of course Saturday--the day I took the subway Downtown with three teenagers in tow--it started to rain. I am ready for summer already.
