THIS flatters you? I'm hopelessly devoted to you, but you're flattered by THIS?
First, the link to your slog post is incorrect.
Secondly, I noticed that PDXers seem to think that because our baby-sister city is getting so much media attention it apparently makes us "psychotic" with ... rage?
Now, it may just be me, but my rage seems to be completely overshadowed by my not even noticing.
huh?
i guess if one's ego is fragile enough, any attention seems like flattery
amELIa
coincidence? or something more???
Something more. Like, soulmates.
OMG, I literally just shuddered at all the meta going on up in here.
Geeze, ouch guys. This is why we PDXers think you're all filled with rage. It's flattering when someone bothers to dissect
something you've written, fragile ego or no fragile ego.
Also, I dig the cool girl/foreign exchange student analogy.
OK, so how long before the WW blog links back to this post linking back to their post deconstructing Eli's previous post?
With all their light rail and great planning they are ready for a big immigration that will keep Seattle from needing so much new infrastructure. I'm happy for Portland.
Go Portland.

The Stranger loves to accuse and defame, so as time goes on and karma snowballs, it will gradually lose its inkling of credibility until meta-puff is all that it is left.
Now, please link us to another website, refer us back to another post, and let the waterfall of attention-deficit postings cascade.
Sorry for the jadedness, a friend of my mothers was just struck by a drunk driver last night, and I'm a bit pissed.
@ 7
There's a big difference between rage and indifference ... as far as I know ... but if you know something that I don't, then by all means, share.
portland and seattle should totally hook up..
hawt.
pics plz.
I thought they were talking about Portland, Maine.
@12, I can't get the image of a couple of totally naked people except for their socks and sandals with skin the color of a trout's stomach out of my mind. Ew.
frickin' portland; next they'll be all up in our faces about how they really do have a cultural scene, better zoning regs, more strip clubs, light rail and
less snarky squirrels...
SUCK IT, pORTLAND!!
Shut up, Seattle wears a knee highs and a plaid skirt, sans underwear.

Kilt wars between the cities? no, thanks. no one comes out a winner in that one. **shudder**
@10 sorry about your friend's mom.
The real crime here is setting print in Chicago, probably the ugliest font ever devised. Yes, it's readable at 12 dpi. No, that's not a good excuse.
what?!?! portland squirrels are the worst.
while yes portland squirrels are plenty snarky, i've found the Seattle ones are also a bit more haughty and entitled about it...that just grates on me, just a personal thing i guess.
Portland vs. Seattle
The real winner is Vancouver
I love Portland. I love Seattle. I hate the term PDX. Is it really that hard to type five more letters?
@11 I wasn't talking about your indifference. I guess you can still be indifferent even if you make 2 whole comments about how indifferent you are. It just means you're not indifferent about your indifference.
I was saying 1 and 3 were rageful.
@23 ya
@19. at least chicago has a font.
I like the WW's post, though I agree that setting the typeface to Chicago was a low, weird blow. What's next, Courier?! SNORT!
