CALL TO LEGALIZE WORLD CUP SEX TRADE!!! To minimize HIV infection among visitors to South Africa next year. Maybe Portland could adapt the idea to pay for renovations to PGE Park?

CHINA DESIGN EXHIBITION OPENS!!! Was I the only one who found it absolutely terrifying?

KLOSTERMAN: CREATIVE TENSION BETWEEN INTERVIEWER/INTERVIEWEE!!! That's the way he plays it, he says. Or it'll be dull.

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PORTLAND!!! Video courtesy of PDX Pipeline. I'm calling "smug" on the title. But otherwise, it's good.


Just another day in Portland - part 10082009 from brewcaster on Vimeo.


AMANDA FRITZ SAYS THE WORLD TOILET SUMMIT ROCKS!!! Wants you to give your hard-earned dollars to send a group of toilet maniacs to Singapore. "It's important," she writes. We beg to differ. Unless by "important," she means, "not important." Like, at all. Buy one of Randy Leonard's loos instead!

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS MARRIES!!! I'm not even going to post the picture of her husband. It's too depressing.

HENDRICKS: COULD STILL CONCEIVABLY DIVORCE, AT SOME POINT...

PROTECT TRIBAL SITES!!! The choice of the second photo accompanying this article? Verrrrry subtle.

LOTR PICTRS!!! Flickr's 4 billionth photo has been uploaded.

THIS IS IT!!! Listen to Michael Jackson's, er, "new" song.

PROMOSEXUALS!!! The Daily Beast frantically tries to figure out what the fuck Twitter is good for. And as if to answer that question...

TWEANCE!!! That would be the world's first Twitter seance.

BAGHDAD'S THEATER RE-OPENS!!! Not the Bagdad theater. Baghdad's theater.

GAY MAN ATTACKED IN QUEENS!!! Gay rights still has a way to go, even in New York.

DAVID LETTERMAN'S WIFE DEMANDED SECOND APOLOGY!!! I'm still trying to figure out whether I care.

Good day.
