Um. Portland. Guys? What the...

pft

I knew you had a hipster problem and a hippie problem, but this whole post-ironic Partridge Family droogies thing is extreme. It sounds more like one of [livejournal.com profile] onda_dog's [livejournal.com profile] damnportlanders pranks than a news story.

Major points to the cop for dissing these guys and their tiresome attention-whoring: "There's nothing special about these people. Their behavior is typical of thousands of people in Portland that we have to deal with every day. They're run-of-the-mill goof balls." Oh SNAP.

Honestly, I have no idea how to comment upon that.

Wasn't Sean Partridge one of those vaguely Satanistic hipster misanthropes, sort of like Boyd Rice and Jim Goad?

Aye, he's one of those UNPOP people.

Oh, jesus. The guy who invented that whole thing was my roommate for a while - what an insufferable bore.

Jesus, I thought they'd have to be dead by now.

Oh. My. God. Jason Fell's part of that shit.

I'll just say that when I first encountered Jason, I was living in his parents' basement, he was fourteen, and convinced the Necronomicon was real. The last time I saw him, it was seven or eight years ago, and I was getting high and watching a pre-release bootleg of Blair Witch Project and he and a bunch of his friends were there and convinced that *it* was real.

Poor Jason.

Um. This escaped my attention. It is well that I know about it, thank you.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE FUN OF MY MESSIAH

Okay, so I've never heard of these folks, but strangely, it doesn't surprise me that they're here. It surprises me even less that they are in my 'hood, the southeast. A good chunk of the population has a "keep Portland weird" bumper sticker on their car. Sometimes that is weird-fun, like massively multiplayer pillow fights, and sometimes that is weird-scary like these guys.

Ordinariness always screams the loudest.

Man, that's some fun, trippy stuff. Maybe since then the gang has latched on to Happy Days ...

Although I'm sure someone's gotten there ahead of you, go for it!

You may need this.
