Pop Quiz Hotshot!
If you have an alcoholic roommate who is constantly, obsessive-compulsively reorganizing everything in the house, including your stuff, even though you repeatedly ask him not to because then you can’t find anything, and then you can’t find something particularly important, would you speculate:
A) That question is a pretty big run-on sentence
B) Your roommate probably put the cord away somewhere when he was drunk and now has idea where he put it. You’ll have to spend forever to find it.
C) Your roommate is kind of an inconsiderate dip who should take a good look at his life.
D) He’ll have to look quickly because you’re going to drown him in the toilet if you don’t find that cord, soon.
E) All of the above
Form Letters! Form Commemoration!
I received a form letter from Nick Fish’s office today, in response to my email to city council members, regarding the proposal to rename 39th Ave. after Cesar Chavez. It contained the following non-specific blandness:
“Mr. Chavez was an American hero who fought for better working conditions for workers everywhere and safer food for us all. His legacy is worthy of an appropriate public commemoration in our city..”
I emailed them my response:
And Portland is worthy of doing so in a unique way, as opposed to just throwing a street-naming at him like everyone else. Can’t we be a little more creative here? Does anyone really care about this, or are you just doing this to get it out of the way quickly and get the street re-naming people out of your hair?

It’s Bucket of Dicks Friday!
This week’s Bucket of Dicks goes to US Bank, for refusing to cooperate in any way to help their tenant CubeSpace, who has a 15-year lease with them, stay afloat in tough times. Congratulations, US Bank. Enjoy your bucket of dicks!
Wait. Those are cute cats, not dicks. What's going on here?
Some members of the local community are organizing a site and paypal account to help Cubespace. Savecubespacepdx.com
