portland, seattle’s tijuana
ok first of all, we are testing out a new “coherent rating system”. from time to time i have been known to post a beer fueled post or two. rare? indeed, but it does happen. so to help you decipher my drivel, and to help subdue the grammar police, i am going to institute a beer consumption barometor. the picture to the right should suggest to you that i have had somewhere between 6 or more beers this evening. hopefully it will help you understand, or at least forgive, my logic, spelling and intent.
so, we have a little game tonight eh? what to make of this game? yes, it is just a practice. but if you really believe that, well you are new to this rivalry.
this is portland, seattles tijuana. Read more
