That's not very ladylike.

Lush.
Cynic.
One-womanizer.

Living in Portland after a much needed
escape from the Midwest.



*my wife and I live in a floating house, so there are a lot of beers on the dock and such (and NO, wife is not just a term of endearment).

    themattsmith: America, I don’t ENJOY being ashamed of you, but sometimes you make it so necessary. On the top, 8 ears of (undoubtedly genetically modified, pesticide laden) corn for 2 dollars. On the bottom, 5 ears of the same corn, shucked, placed on styrofoam and wrapped in plastic, for two dollars. Believe me when I say that the plastic-wrapped shit was FLYING off the shelves.  People were willing to get 3 fewer ears of corn for the same price to save themselves the 20 seconds an ear to shuck it themselves.  Nevermind the resources needed to produce the plastic and styrofoam. So, given the choice between 2 bad agricultural and environmental choices, the Americans I witnessed made the WORSE one, on account of sheer fucking laziness. Sorry for the preachiness. This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the USA. Not to mention the glorious rows of spray “butter”…because the effort of buttering ones own corn is just TOO much. Preach on brother, preach on.

      Stop apologizing...preach, my dear man.
    20. jss said: I am particularly charmed by the spray “butter” that they sell right next to the corn. Nothing I like better on my genetically modified corn than melted butter-flavored plastic!
    21. saraplainandtall said: Total bullshit. Like when you use reusable bags but they wrap everything in plastic bags anyway. Really?!?
    22. onesong said: dudebro, they are both stacked up next to spray bottles of i can’t believe it’s not butter. let’s focus on the real issues here, amirite
