We've been skewered -- "Is that a sustainably harvested skewer?"


No organic co-op, no tattoo parlor, no feminist bookstore will ever be the same again. Can messenger bags and neighborhood cobs next?!? Yes, IFC's cult microseries Portlandia debuted last night, with a cameo by Steve Buscemi, no less!
A series of vignettes, Portlandia has lovingly mocking fun at our expense much the same as Flight of the Conchords tweaked New Zealand. We've been OUTED!!! The folks behind this show clearly know us very, very well.
Next week, David Lynch luminary Kyle MacLachlan shows up as our mayor, with real mayor Sam Adams as his addled assistant. Must DVR.
I may never be quite the same, having glimpsed "Portland's adult hide-and-seek league" in action. But if you can't laugh at yourself, it may be time for a coffee enema, gang. With fair-trade coffee, don't worry...
