So I am standing in Pioneer square waiting for my date to arrive for lunch and I notice a rally forming. When it began it was formed to protest the winsconsin choice to abolish their government union. I admire them for trying regardless of how pointless it was to fight against a wisconsin situation in portland oregon. Anyway it began with about 10 people. But its portland, so it didnt stop there.
First came the anti-corporation people.
Then came the Pro-pot people
Then came the Pro-god people
Then came the Anti-war people
Then came the condom people
Then came those folk who just like to protest.

by the end it was over 100 people. A handful had any clue what was going on.

What was I doing this whole time? I was standing arm in arm with the rainman statue, talking quietly to it about the bizzare nature of portland protesting. When people asked me why I was talking to a statue I said this "You think I am crazy for talking to a statue?, who are they talking to, themselves?. And I went on my marry way talking again

After suffering through this riddiculous "Thing" I realized my date wasn't coming.
