You know you're in Portland when you see a headline like this....

Zombies Crash Car in Downtown Portland

I suppose this is what happens when you let the undead drive on Portland freeways. As if the Rose City didn’t already have a (well-deserved) reputation for being quite…um, unusual, now we have to worry about zombies weaving through traffic on I-84.

And you think I make this stuff up….

Drivers here may not be @$$holes in the way that Houston drivers are, but in all my time in Texas, I don’t believe I ever had to worry about zombies behind the wheel. Sure, people in Houston were well-versed in using their vehicles as weapons (Houston put the “assault” in Urban Assault Vehicle), but the undead were at least considerate enough to leave the driving to the living. Apparently, we in Portland still have a ways to go in this regard.

Oh, and then’s the whole cultural fetishization backlash thing. Damn, I love living here…but even I have to admit that Portland can be one freakin’ strange place sometimes.
