Mercury Questionland: Finally, a Land for Your Questions

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, May 29, 2009 at 3:50 PM

You've got questions… you've got answers. And finally, there's a place for both in QUESTIONLAND! Some of the brainest brains in Portland are there right now answering questions from people just like you! (Unless of course you're one of the brainiest brains that I'm talking about… in which case, shouldn't you be in Questionland instead of dinking around over here?)

Here are just a smidge of the interesting questions that are being queried currently in Questionland!

• Why does inner Southeast always smell like Jagermeister?

• What are some good places to buy fireworks near Portland?

• IUDs: Yay or nay, and why?

• Is there an age at which men should stop wearing shorts?

My answer to that last one? Balloon shorts are always in fashion!

There is a horrible stench along NE Multnomah between the Lloyd Center and the theater, and then also at NE 24th and -- I think -- Wasco... horrible! stench!

I believe that that is a picture of a female in balloon shorts. Note the shortage of leg hair. Put a hairy middle age guy with a pot belly in those same shorts, (okay a pair about twice the size,) and you too will think there is an age where men shouldn't wear shorts either...

I'm 72 yo and I wear shorts in the summertime, cuz they are much cooler. I don't care if anyone objects to that. I'm beyond the age of being embarrassed about what I wear or eat or do in my leisure time. I have lived this long and have earned this privilege. By the way, I wouldn't be caught dead in something like those balloon shorts. And I don't have old men's pipe-stem legs. So there.

Great picture. Gratuitious balloon short pictures are totally underused!
