What the heck is going on in Portland OR?
« on: April 19, 2010, 05:16:01 PM »

And here's proof that the general public should always decide what goes on the covers of magazines. Oregon's The Portland Mercury put that responsibility in the hands of its readers, letting them take a poll to choose. Artist Andrew Zubko was then asked to bring it life.

So what'd they vote for? A metal, bikini-clad Betty White holding a flaming chainsaw riding John Ritter. And not just any John Ritter. Centaur John Ritter.


And where can I get my own copy? ;D ;D ;D

Kit, you forgot the drab colored hoodie sweatshirt that can't be zipped up because of the throatbeard.

This publication is a summation of why I'm moving to Idaho as soon as I can -nevermind the business taxes they just passed this year.

That and it's sunny there - even if it's 40 deg F you can get out on two wheels without wearing a glad bag.

And yet we still manage to drive it like we stole it.

Does Austin have a metal, bikini-clad Betty White holding a flaming chainsaw riding John Ritter. And not just any John Ritter. Centaur John Ritter?

No?  I didn't think so.

No, they have McCoughnehey naked playing the bongos at 3 in the morning stoned out of his gourd.

That is pretty good competition.

That's in Silverton.

I think there was a "This American Life" episode about him a year ago or so.  Good program.
