What ever happened to investigative journalism? Is it just a coincidence that the EMU employee who chose LP has the same last name as the owner of LP? I think not.

Eugene has some decent BBQ places, but nothing compares with the abundance of cheap, dank BBQ in North Portland. The other day I had a chicken sandwich with coleslaw in it, and it had huge chunks of fresh fennel and fresh ginger in it… not very traditional but mindblowingly delicious.

Olly, YES! That is food made of WIN. Best BBQ I’ve had outside of Texas. Some of the best collard greens I’ve had anywhere.

I went to a Laughing Planet in Portland and some fat woman was yelling at the employees. I guess she was a boss, but she was really rippin into a gal in front of customers. Maybe they don’t laugh much there, but I don’t want to deal with that crap when I am eating. If that is how they treat their employees, thay can stay out of the EMU.

Yeah, Papa’s Soul Food Kitchen is amazing. BBQ King is that guy with the little trailer that used to be parked out in the Les Schwab parking lot on 18th street on weekends. He’d always show up at the campus street fair, too. His food is also good.

“BBQ King the guy who ran food for Joe’s back in the day…”

C’mon, Tim, you’re talking about Papa’s Soul Food Kitchen. Absolutely goddamn amazing.

BBQ King the guy who ran food for Joe’s back in the day before it descended into a pit of Jogger’s-like suckitude? Because, yeah, THAT GUY.

CJ: I wasn’t getting on you. It’s easy to repeat what the ODE is reporting without calling bullshit on every bit of logic because, if you did that, your posts would be 8,000 words long. I was more annoyed with the editorial, which was not very good.

Others, like Timothy, are expressing their outrage that the BBQ King isn’t moving into the space.

Actually, I’m pretty outraged that the BBQ King isn’t moving into that space, too. Okay. Who wants to set up camp outside of Johnson Hall with me.

(and no, “set up camp outside ‘Johnson Hall’ is not a double entendre)

I agree with you on both points. I probably should have clarified some of the stuff about Laughing Planet. Technically, it is a chain but not one of those evil, franchise monsters that pop on every corner. And yes, it is environmentally responsible, mostly vegetarian/vegan and (from what I hear) delicious.

I think people are more pissed that Holy Cow is getting the boot, not so much that Laughing Planet is moving in.

Um, Laughing Planet is a local business, if you consider Portland to be local. I actually interviewed one of the company’s principles the other day, Franz Spielvogel, and he said the main reason the company moved to Portland (from, I think, Indiana) was because of the state’s reputation for growth in its sustainable business clusters. The company’s pretty environmentally responsible. I mean, this isn’t fucking McDonald’s.

Further: That ODE editorial is absolutely atrocious — mealey mouthed, ungrammatical, unclear, poorly written, sort of pointless … depressing, frankly. Thank God those things are unsigned.

Except Rennie’s, of course.

And I would, except I’m not on campus anymore…well, as of right now. Depends on if I get a FT position on campus. Besides, the Conservatives of campus are friends with Kyle McKenzie. The schnockering will be masterful.

Nah, you guys just need to hang out with the rugby team. We have a mini-riot every time we get a couple beers in us. Some of the alumni are permanently 86′d from every campus bar.

What’s the dirt on this? How come there isn’t any data or reasons given?

How did the Holy Cow screw up so bad? I demand answers media!

Yeah. No riots this year, that I know of. Even the fabled Halloween Riots failed to materialize this year.

Man. Are they all out of riots, too?
