Welcome to FlagFreeEugene: September 2006

I hate flaggers

Flaggers are in my opinion, scum of the earth. They are too stupid to argue their points and instead flag any opposing opinions.
The Eugene RnR has become the most heavily moderated board I've ever seen.
Personally I think there is only one person flagging on that board, with multiple accounts. A troll of sorts. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the flagging.
So what do you guys want to say? Say it. Tell me I'm an @sshole loving c^nt that would have been better off aborted. I don't care. I won't censor you.
May the fleas of a thousand feral cats infest the Eugene flag trolls house.

Eugene or Springfield?*

It's the age old argument, Eugene vs Springfield. Since I am the blogmistress and I haven't gotten any ideas for other topics (other than one poster who suggested I poo in the change counters on toll bridges), I'm going to start this one.

I personally vote for Springfield, here's why. The other day I went to Cafe Yumm in Oakway Center for some breakfast, the huevos rancheros are the bomb. Anyway, I thought I'd swing into the Starbucks there (sorry, I like Starbucks, even though I know they are evil) a girl needs her caffeine and the pumpkin spice lattes make me happy. I walked in and I swear I've never seen so much streaked hair combined with fake nails and tans in my life. I felt like I was in a Los Angeles boutique. There were dudes in shiny shoes shouting into cell phones. Women comparing absolute crap in shopping bags. I had to look back outside to make sure there were still gray skies and I was indeed still in Eugene Oregon. I ran out and jumped in my car and made a right onto Coburg, and peeled onto my favorite road in town, the 126.

So I went to the Starbucks in Springfield. When I walked in, there were lo and behold some Oregonians. Guys in grubby work boots and sweatshirts, check. A couple students doing some homework nursing a cuppa, check. Not a bulging shopping bag nor a fake nail in sight. Aah. Much better.

*In all fairness, the name of this topic should be "Eugene or Springfield Starbucks?" but that would be too specific and require personal knowledge of the branches.

Rant: Franklin Boulevard into Springfield

What in the hell are they doing that requires an entire lane to be like 3 feet deeper than the other ones? Catch the side of that bitch with your tire and see what happens...
This is to have a little railway right? That goes from University, to where exactly? It seems to end at the bridge. What could possibly be the point?

I need some ideas.

Okay you guys. I'm trying to remember which topics got flagged so that I can start discussions about them. Anyone? Give me some ideas and I'll blog 'em.
