God, we haven’t played pinball in ages. Don’t know why – just haven’t picked up the flippers in who knows how long. And by “who knows how long,” we actually mean, like, two weeks. BUT STILL.

Your sexy writers went floating on the Clackamas this weekend. Yes sir, we roped a cooler to an inner tube and went bobbin down an icy cool waterway. Where you say?? Well all that to come after the jump…>

Everyone grab a bottle of hair gel, a gold chain necklace,and a brightly colored flamboyant large collar button down shirt because we are going to Miami, bitch! ”Awesome!” Not literally, stupid.

I know I know, I’ve been gone for a while now. It’s hard to balance a life on the interweb with a life outside. What better way to spend the summer than hiking the trails, fishing with the wife and rafting with your nearest and dearest?? Yeah, I said rafting. The latest venture the group [...]

Gawker pays as much attention to Portland as any media outlet, and the adoration heaped on the city by The New York Times and NPR and every other media outlet for entrenched middle-class white people has not escaped its writers’ attention.

My woman got a shitload of blueberries at the store the other day so rather than eat them raw like a sucker, I covered them in sugar, butter, flour and more sugar. This is America and I’ll be damned if I have to eat some pansy ass berry plain. Let’s begin: Start by prepping your [...]
