More Proof That Oregonians Have Gone Insane
Now let me start with an explanation:I know its nice and green there. I know that there's no sales tax. I understand that in some, misguided way, you might think that the Blazers really can come out of this slump they've been in (for what, 6 seasons now?)
But really - how do you explain this: http://www.bendshire.com/
For those of you too frightened to follow the link (as well you should be), let me share - The Shire is a "village community" where "the old world charm of The Shire begins at the entrance. Our rustic gate house stands notice to all who enter that The Shire is a place like no other and a community separate from it surroundings in every way."
Yes... this is a group in Oregon that are transforming their split level, ranch style homes with faux thatch, and a lot of cozy hobbit interiors.
So, the real question is - Is it the rain and clouds, or something in the water that breeds this kind of insanity? I suppose this is a challenge to all the star trek, convention going fans to build their own spaceships or something.... Now THAT would be impressive !
