Comment on #74 Clear WiMAX by Ian

Moved here a few months ago…………

$%$E^%$^%$^%& Clear

Worst excuse for an internet company of all time. Garbage service. I cant believe I’m paying 35 a month for something slower than dial up and ihave to hold onto this trash for 2 years or face paying 200 bucks to cancel.

“Clear wireless” haven’t used it as of yet but I agree with you about the comcast issues they do suck and it is really expensive. But in this day and age all cable companies like to over charge us what are you going to do? another thing about comcast that gets on my nerves is that the signal quality always seems to cut out all the time.

By the way new seasons market is way more expensive then whole foods from what I have seen. There is one in Beaverton where I live it’s on cedar hills blvd you can literally spend a fortune in that place and not buy anything.

I lived about a block from a Clear location too, over on 23rd, but when I looked up service areas, my apartment wasn’t covered. Ouch @ “worse than Comcast”. Although my Comcast service itself is adequate – it’s their customer service I can’t stand.

Comment on Portland’s Bike Culture by Nicktod

I used to love to ride. That’s until I moved to this mud pit. I’m not sure why but Portland bicyclists exude a gross sense of entitlement as well as a utter lack of common sense. For the most part they suck at two-wheeling in the urban setting. Not to mention how they drive like retarded old ladies with absolutely NO SENSE of shame. “Hey… let’s ride down the busiest street and put ourself and others in harms way.” Then they wonder WHY the get honked at, yelled at and run over by dump trucks.

I used to ride home from work and took every low volume side street I could work into my ride. I rode up Tillamook to 23rd… NOT Weidler. Rode the esplanade and kept to bike-designated lanes.

I give bike couriers a little slack downtown, but the jack-off suburbanites and the single gear hipster shitheads well.. Lets just say I would love to have one’s head on my hood as a warning other “slow deer”.

NOW… because of my bad decision moving to the tax nest, I am the heaviest I have ever been in m life.

Jersey’d cyclist riding in town… well… that’s another thing altogether… Fucking BOOMERS.

We are trying to live off ol one income. Two reasons I can’t support PDX downtown: too expensive, and how does it help if I have to drive all over to get what I need? At least at a mall, I can accomplish many tasks in one trip. Get over your pretentious, affluent bad self.

No joke, pretty soon a new “minority” with orange skin will show up and start a hoopin and hollerin about being offensive. Then the poor beaver fans will have to swtich there colors to something else.

Its called BLACKOUT! Not African-AmericanOUT!…people get over it..If there was a “WHITE OUT”…and everyone painted themselfs white, put on short blond wigs and those goofy trendy black rimmed glasses…i would laugh, for a couple days straight…

The beaver football program has enough to deal with already, they dont need a fan revolt.

Lesiah sounds like a typical Portland C with a Unt. Thank god I moved from that despicable town. Now I have 5 lane freeways in San Diego to explore and bet your dripping cold Portand ass that I never get in a traffic jam.

Seriously? Really..I just heard that…i live between Eugene and Corvallis.

Yellow and green are lame? lol…Its HALLOWEEN EVERY GAME FOR OSU!

Beaver fans-
-Lifted redneck trucks
-did i mention rednecks
-Fans seem to “forget” the previous years record every year and only remember beating USC or the Ducks…selective amnishia
-Are still not sure if the world is round…
-Own newer farm equipment and guns..then vehicles..
-Cant design there OWN logos..they have to look over the fence
-They celebrate Halloween every game by strappin on the colors..

Duck fans-
-Dont ware sweatpants and boots with a cut off OSU shirt 2x too small so there gut hangs out on game day…
-INVENTED The “O” logo..and we dont have to rip off other schools logos…
-Don’t have to just root for TWO players
-We have an entire TEAM, including DEFENSE.
-WE accept our losses and dont pretend they didn’t happen and gear up next year to rip ur throat out…

The Ducks have enough money to put there name on the side of a jet…

The Beavers give there money BACK to the community by offering “Tail Gate Alternatives” such as…

-Free dentistry (Voted least number of teeth per fan last 14 years running)

AND

-A Revolutionary Hooked on Phonics program that teaches the fans how to read the game day program… (Voted most illiterate fans in the nation 6 years running)

Don’t tell me what Beaver and Duck fans look like…i live 30 min from each stadium. Beaver fans tend to be ignorant W/T..Duck fans seem to at least be “normal” people…Beaver fans are the running joke around here.

I think we should all just hate USC….Maybe then we could all get along…

As a Colorado transplant, I had a lot of fun watching this spectacle! What’s up with the no snow plows things? I’ve been here 9 years, and we’ve had enough big snows to necessitate more plows. Hell, put some plows on those stupid ODOT trucks!

Comment on #14 Portland Rose Festival by Susan Love

I grew up in Portland, and always have pined for it after we left. Listening to all the viperative comments above, I don’t know that I want to come back. What in the world has made so many so bitter. It is a week and half and then it’s all over. Get over yourselves. To others, you may look flea ridden. Good grief, I just can’t understand the hate spewing so freely. Maybe if these people who love to hate would pratice being more kind and loving, they might find that others are not so bad. What makes you so wonderful, just because of your address? My heart hurts, thinking this is the attitude in Portland now. My memory has always been a live and let live environment, with beautiful surroundings. I guess maybe I had better take a second look before I come “home”.

To go from I-5 north to Ross island bridge eastbound, you don’t travel east. You travel west, merge into cars on the the I-5 southbound entrance ramp then turn right into a residential neighborhood. Drive uphill past one of those white trash trailers made out of the back of a pickup. Wait in line to then merge onto the Ross Island bridge.

The person who planned this was a genius. It is perfect crap.

Ryan, I don’t know of any citations, per se. I only know about it because Larson himself admitted he uses Reputation Defender in commercials on his shows. Larson also had the CEO on one time for an “interview” (I’d imagine the “interview” was part of his paid advertising package), and there too, Larson acknowledged that he was using Reputation Defender’s services.

Dear Ann,

That your grandkids are lazy, snotty, bourgeois suburban brats with little concern for the environment is not exactly something to brag about (nor is it cute).

BTW, I ride the bus every day. The only times I find it smelly is if a smelly person gets on it. While I’ll be the first the agree this is unpleasant, it also one of the many hazards of, um, living on this imperfect planet.

But apparently your glorious granchildren exist in some exquisite bubble–where inconvenient unpleasantries like bad smells or poor people need never intrude. I’m sure they’ll grow up to lovely, self-involved people.
