Slog - Comments on Portland Hearts Skaters http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/portland_hearts_skaters Last week, while Seattle skaters were fighting over Seattle Center's scraps, Portland had a skateboard art show and half-pipe, set up in front of CITY FUCKING HALL! Maybe if Seattle's City Hall Park was turned into a skatepark, it'd take care of the crack problem....

That they have the courage to not tie their shoes each morning is a testament to their unbreakable spirit.

Blet.

I don't want a fucking skateboarder shrine in front of my city hall. What's this official respect for skateboarding, which is supposed to be so cool and counterculture? How co-opted by the man have these little skate pukes become? What happened to their rampant and glorious disregard for public property? Jesus, get rebellious again you pussies, before The Man buys and sells your souls just like he has ours.

And enough about Goddamn Portland. Seriously. It's a fine little progressive burg, but Seattle kicks its ass as an actual city and you know it. So do they. Deal.

City Hall has the big-empty-unused-space problem. Have you even been to City Hall?

Kind of a dangerous place, IMHO. Wouldn't want to be a retiree trying to go there, that's for sure.

One giant orgasm spewing endless milky white cream all over it enlightened citizens--who then ingest the mana and create all kinds of amazing banjo hymns and hootenanny hay rides. Portland....rubbing an intoxicating halluncinogenic salve non-stop on it's anus and then having prophetic visions. Portland...able to oral satisfy itself while Colin Meloy fingers it asshole lovingly. Oh Portland....yes..Portland...yeah..Por...t....

Question at large: Why does the stranger have such a hard-on about the idea of skaters at city hall? It seems to be a common meme there.
