That’s right the ides are upon us, and you haven’t filled out your tax return. So what, neither did 47 million other Americans.

It's Tax Day; Let's Go Hang Out With Teabaggers!

As a tribute to Tax Day, America’s first national holiday, we are going to head down to the 47th street overpass above I-84 and spend time with our country’s truest patriots, the Teabaggers, as they protest against socialism or poor people having healthcare or whatever.

The Great Bowling Recession: Pt. XI Where Will This Road End?

Well it’s been so long you would think Spring was here and we had abandoned the bowling lanes for the gentle canoe ride, a beach trip, or anything outdoorsy…

Everyone Is Getting Robbed On The Internet, In Portland

Portland is a hub of crime of all kinds, as we all know – it is easily the most dangerous city in the world, if not beyond. But now, we are all potential victims of “cyber-crime,” which is committed in outer space (the internet), because we can not stop tweeting every damn thing we do [...]

The Great Bowling Recession: Pt. IX - What Else Have We Got To Do?

Turns out there are other activities which could be identified as being more anti-capitalist than bowling.  And to find them we need look no further than to our lovable neighbors to the north.  Not Washington, those guys are douches, I’m talking about those socialist-embracing-health-care-providing Canadians and their second national past time.

One Small Victory Against Comcast

There isn’t much funny/sexy news out there today, so I thought I’d relay a little story about how I finagled my way out of paying Comcast some stupid, relatively minor bit of money I didn’t actually owe them. It’s a brief and very simple story, but there’s a larger, two-fold point: You shouldn’t pay massive [...]

Good Morning Portland Renters

Ah. Another beautiful day in this grumpy ass city. My lady and I, yes she’s hot thanks for asking, are currently looking for apartments. We’ve been driving around looking for property management tags, for rent signs, even U-Hauls to spot that perfect house to raise a couple of chickens in (you thought kids, heh). Pierson, [...]

Massive Nights

Hello again. I’m back from the mountain. I got naked, drank a gallon of whiskey, fought a bear and snowboarded in sleet. Not necessarily in that order or at the same time. It was magical. I’m going to try to have some stuff on the cheap in spirit of the revolution and my nearly empty [...]
