An election that broke barriers.

Why hasn't Dins posted this yet? Bro, you're slippin'

Hat tip to this Just Out for getting an interview with what looks to be the country's first trans-identified Mayor .


Stu Rasmussen was the mayor of Silverton, Oregon in the late 80's and early 90's. He's also ran for state office.


But that was when he looked like a dude .

[Mikey]

Dude still looks like a dude.

Dude doesn't look like a lady.

[Rasputin]

Props to Oregon. You make Kali seem sane by comparison.

[Goober McTuber]

Dude still looks like a dude.

Dude doesn't look like a lady.

Sounds like Diaphanous' kind of woman.

[smackaholic]

more like an election that broke mirrors.

[Derron]

You have to understand Silverton..a nothing town with not a whole lot going on...so the locals have to get their laffs where and when they can.

Small town politics are a fucking joke, and this just confirms that. The local news hit this story about 2 days straight showing dude,errrr dudette swinging down the street.

Makes for an interesting City Council meeting I am sure..

[Smackie Chan]

Looks like the hideous love child of Robert Plant and Ronnie James Dio.

[Dinsdale]

Last time I remember being in Silverton, I went with a friend to pick up an ATV he was buying.

Met the seller at his house, but we had to drive to dude's work, where the ATV was stored.

He worked at a bug farm.... where the breed and raise... you guessed'er -- bugs. Bait, lizard food, that sort of thing.

And it still seemed pretty upscale for Silverton.


RED.NECK. Strange place for a crossdresser to get elected to anything but the gallows (which I think they have in the town square in Silverton).


I wasn't particularly suprised that AP's Uncle got eleceted, but it was suprising where it happened.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I wasn't particularly suprised that AP's Uncle got eleceted, but it was suprising where it happened.

From the human dictionary? Say it ain't so.

[Dinsdale]

Say it ain't so.

I can say no such thing.

I can only but offer two pieces of evidence in my meager defense...


- It's 9:30AM in the morning, and I'm pretty stoned.



- At least I'm not AP.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

At least I'm not AP.

That puts it into perspective.

[Ana Ng]

At least I'm not AP.

That had to have been Stu Rasmussen's campaign slogan.

Hey Dins,

The first load of this beer just landed here in God’s Country:





And I hate to have to tell you this, but in a blind taste test, it comes in second to this:

[Screw_Michigan]

^^^ You know Goobs, that might be the most intelligent gibberish to ever come out of your quasi-retarded piehole. RACK you for that.

The Mitten gets over on the U&L once again.

[Goober McTuber]

I give credit where credit is due. Kalamazoo has a well-earned reputation for producing great beer and numerous drooling fucktards. Rack you for placing examples of each in such close proximity.

[Goober McTuber]

Hey Screwball, check this out:

Love the comments.

I don't like hops and I never will.

Then write a blog about breastmilk, pussy.

I will be looking forward to next summers concert series at the Oregon Garden..at the Doobie Bros show this summer the mayor this last year gets up and goes on about life in Silverton..nobody fucking cared about what he was saying..might be a bit different this next summer... :? :? :? :? :?

[Screw_Michigan]

Goobs:

Derron: Nobody fucking cares.

[Dinsdale]

The Mitten gets over on the U&L once again.

Tell you what, I'll help you and Goobs out with a little geography (and I'll try to spell everything correctly while doing so)...


The Sierra Nevada, for which Sierra Nevada Brewing is named...


Isn't in the U&L, dumbass.

The particular portion of the Sierra where the beer is brewed would be in Chico... California.

Which isn't in the U&L.

[atomicdad]

Goobs, you are an idiot.

1) Anybody with a pallete for good beer knows that "seasonal brews" from the larger breweries are typically crap.

2) Sierra Nevada has taken a turn for the worse the last few years since they sold out to Anheuser-Busch

3) Sierra Nevada is brewed in Chico, CA.

Sorry to step on your toes Dins.

[Goober McTuber]

Oh please, Dins, it’s close enough to the border to earn honorary U&L status. BTW, I happen to think Sierra Nevada in general and the Celebration Ale in particular is a decent enough beer for the price (GFY a-dad). Just not as good as Two Hearted.

[Derron]

Oh please, Dins, it’s close enough to the border to earn honorary U&L status.

Bull fucking shit..its 500 miles or better into CA..nothing CA will make honorary status in OR..Dins's smoke is probably better than some of that CA shit..

But if Arnold and his homeboys have their way.... it will be brewed with Oregon water.....someday..sooner than later...I fucking piss in your water

and atomicdad..you don't know fuck all about seasonal beers from Oregon's micro brews..some of these seasonal ales are fucking awesome..if a bit high in calorie content

[atomicdad]

1) Anybody with a pallete for good beer knows that "seasonal brews" from the larger breweries are typically crap.

Your reading comprehension skills are as piss-poor as ever I see.

[Dinsdale]

Descutes is "large" by "micro" standards, and Jubelale rocks.

[Goober McTuber]

Oh please, Dins, it’s close enough to the border to earn honorary U&L status.

Bull fucking shit..its 500 miles or better into CA..

Bust out a map, you fucking moron. It's 200 miles at best.

[Goober McTuber]

Are you talking to yourself, slapnuts?

To the heartland - - Lake Tahoe area maybe..but we recognize the State of Jefferson...that part of northern CA and Southern OR who are breaking off and forming the new state...tell me you knew..

[Goober McTuber]

Tell you I knew? I couldn’t even say that I cared.

[Dinsdale]

The State of Jefferson was fo'real.

They did everything required to seceed from Oregon and california, jumped through all of the legal hoops, and even elected a mayor.

And they even presented their well-covered legal paperwork to form a new state to Congress...

On December 6th, 1941.


Timing... not so good.

[Dinsdale]

BTW, Goobs... what's it like living in a suburb of Chicago?


Just to put your stupidity/backpedal/geographical ignorance into perspective.


Hell, I'm not sure I consider Caldera to be U&L Brew... and they're in Medford, Oregon.



Dumbass.

[Goober McTuber]

BTW, Goobs... what's it like living in a suburb of Chicago?

I tried it once. It’s hell. That’s why I moved back to God’s Country.

[Dinsdale]

You live in one now, dumbass.


Sorry, it's your rules. I'm just abiding by them.

[Goober McTuber]

I said Chico was close enough to the border to earn honorary U & L status, not that it was a suburb of Portland. Kind of like you calling everything between the two coasts "flyover country". We're not a Chicago suburb, we're their vacation destination.

[Dinsdale]

I said...

I know what you fucking said.

It was just such an incredibly monumentally fucking stupid backpedal (but at least that stalwart of mental acuity known as S_M was with you), I was mocking you for it.

Sorry, douche -- Chico is fucking hundreds of miles drive from even the non-Oregon parts of Oregon.


You just earned honorary dumbfuck status.

[Dinsdale]

Sacramento isn't that far from Chico.

[Goober McTuber]

Sorry, douche -- Chico is fucking hundreds of miles drive from even the non-Oregon parts of Oregon.

I pointed out to Derron that it was about 200 miles from the border. It's acually slightly less. You really get bent out of shape by any association with Californians, don't you?

[Dinsdale]

Well, that, and the fact that Chico is in an entirely fucking different region of the country, complete with geographical boundaries and whatsuch.

And I have no "association" with californians, save for a shared border that's deliniated by large mountain ranges.


Still working the backpedal?
