PORTLAND, Ore. - A Portland family's evening trip to Mount Scott Park took a bizarre twist on Sunday when a man in the park had an adult-themed public moment.
. The trip to Mount Scott Park was for a birthday party, complete with barbecuing and swimming on the agenda.
But then family members saw Ricky Wright laying in the grass nearby.
Curtina Barr says she saw Wright and that "he was jerking, we thought maybe he was in distress or trouble."
Verna Glass said "I thought he was having a seizure."
He wasn't.
Wright was reportedly fondling himself in full view of the family.
Apparently unfazed by the family's stunned reaction, Wright proceeded to ask them for a cigarette.
That's when the brothers in the family began chasing him.
Taneesha Greene said "every time we'd chase him, he'd run the other way, he kept running around the park and… I had to throw [a Starbucks bottle] at him." They chased Wright to a Shell gas station on a corner near the park and a confrontation began.
The fight ended when police arrived and arrested Wright on public indecency and indecent exposure charges.
Police say he was intoxicated and may have mental health issues.
Yeah, either he was liquored up and crazy, or he was really really really horny.
what, are they test-marketing over-priced, rot-gut booze in the u&l now?

Unless you edited the article you posted, there's nothing in there to suggest that dude wasn't himself from the U&L. So I suppose we could ask you the same question that you implicitly asked us.

First -- Terry, are you starting to figure out why people accuse you of being completely devoid of any sense of humor whatsoever?
Light coming on yet?
Just a dry response to yours. 'S'all.
And you'll note I insinuated that you could have been the guy in the article. Just smackin' you a little. Please tell me you're not of the "can dish it out, but can't take it" variety. I always have had more respect for you than that, Dins. But if it'll make you feel better, just to let you know I was just kidding, :wink:

He was in Portland. That means there's about a 98% chance he's from somewhere else.
Hold on just a minute here. You're in Portland, no? And haven't you said in the past that everyone over the age of 30 knows just about everyone else in town?
Does not compute. Sorry.

Don't fucking compare your (nonexistant) sense of humor to mine, please.
Just smackin' you a little.
I get it...it's a semantics thing. To most, quarks and electrons count as "little" -- I see you define "little" as something much smaller.
And haven't you said in the past that everyone over the age of 30 knows just about everyone else in town?
Absolutel;y not. I've said that every native over the age of 30 knows each other(an exxageration, but not by much). It's jokingly referred to as the "1.6 degrees of seperation."

Maybe the dude was about to invterview for a management position at Intel, where they make lots of computers. He probably didn't want to go into the meeting with a loaded gun.

I believe new information that's come to light indicates EXACTLY which one of you is vacationing in the U&L...
I'll let you Sherlocks figure out which one...
PORTLAND, Ore. - An air conditioning failure at a kennel was blamed for the deaths of 35 retired greyhounds during the summer heat wave last week.
The dogs were discovered by a worker last Friday, about six hours after the owners of the kennel, Curt Washburn and his wife, Mary Repman, left to attend a family reunion on the coast.
Repman said the dogs died from heat exhaustion on a day when the temperature topped 100 degrees. Another 17 greyhounds survived, though two needed to see a veterinarian.
Repman said she does not know what went wrong with the air conditioner at the Washburn Kennel in suburban Clackamas County. She said it was working when they left for the trip that morning and it is running again.
Police have not filed charges. Oregon Racing Commission officials could not be reached after hours. The agency told kgw.com that an investigation is active, but the deaths appear to be accidental.
"If it was one dog, the grieving would be immense," Repman said. "But to even try to understand how to grieve over that many dogs is something I don't think your mind even knows how to do."
Repman, whose husband's family has been raising greyhounds since 1982, said most of the dogs were 5- to 8-years old. She said some of the former racing dogs were there for breeding and others were waiting for adoption.
"I'd rather have the dogs back than any dollar amount," she said. "I don't know if you can put a price on it. Even the dogs that aren't worth much - it's still a life."
