Another Portland Blog

Wednesday, February 02, 2011

 

There was a city and it had a game and Bingo was its name-o! B...I..N...G...

By now you're all familiar with Portland Bingo. These cards have been getting passed around on Twitter, Facebook and the blogs for several weeks now. They include traditional PDX icons and cliches like the "[Made in] Oregon" sign, mustaches and food carts.

All in all, they're rather "safe." Naturally, I'd like to see a localized bingo concept with, how do you say, a little more kick. Here are my suggestions for an "edgier" Portland Bingo card:


  • The word "edgy" appears in Willamette Week or Portland Monthly


  • Another shameless attempt by Sam Adams to cater to the bike crowd


  • A local organization cashes in on Portlandia


  • New McMenamins


  • Malfunctioning downtown parking meter


  • The phallic sculpture across from Powell's Books


  • A Twitter link to yet another New York Times travel article on Portland


  • Sneering hipster


  • Darcelle w/o make-up on a day-off


  • Art Alexis, in a coffee-shop, quietly wishing someone will recognize him


  • A food cart (gets stolen)


  • Gallagher unleashing hell on a local reporter and/or podcaster


  • Tonya Harding takes up a new sport


  • The Samurai motorcycle guy


  • The Oregonian announcing a lay-off


  • An injured Blazer at a strip club


  • A homeless guy with a "Why lie, I need beer!" sign


  • Kirk Reeves


  • An ironic adult sports league team arguing non-ironically in a dive bar about the politics of their ironic adult sports league


  • The opening of yet another "farm-to-table" bistro


  • A local complaining about water rates


  • A meth-head stealing copper


  • A "Keep Portland Weird" knock-off sticker. "Keep Portland Beared," "Keep Portland Beered," "Keep Portland Away From Me," etc.


    Feel free to offer your own suggestions below....
