Definitely the river, just because I’ve accidentally swallowed several gulps of the Willamette while wakeboarding (actually, while crashing after attempting to wakeboard), and it wasn’t all that bad… ok, it was pretty damn bad, but I didn’t die or grow a third arm or something.
I had to laugh when I saw the pics you used.In the second pic you used notice the “Dasani” bottles.Here comes the irony, it was reported recently that the local bottler of said product was going to get their main ingredient from said river. I can’t for the life of me make this crap up! If you want to research it I believe the story is about 2 months old. If memory serves it was “The Oregonian” web page where I saw this.
Knowing you like to fish, let me offer this advice: A)If you are an eat what you catch guy, cook it REAL good.
B)When in doubt, release.
You need to make a third option of like cuttin a pinky off or somethin, cause I might take that. The Willamette is just dirty and the bleachers, it’s not what people drop, it’s you have to eat it after the game after people have stepped on it. Now use your imagination to think of where their shoes have been??? YUCK!
For anyone who chose drinking the Willamette, FYI:
Whenever we get a heavy rain here in Portland (about 100 times per year), the drainage overflow goes directly into the river (they’re fixing this with the “Big Pipe” project, which is ahead of schedule, but still won’t be complete for a couple years). That’s what they call CSO, Combined Sewer Overflow. A.k.a. poop. Also just a few blocks north the river is a superfund site full of PCBs etc.
I’ll eat the discarded hotdogs and red vines, please.
My Girl and I were at the last game watching every one funnel out after the loss. Our heads were low and our spirits crushed. Then she elbows me and says, ‘Look! That’s a whole bag of untouched popcorn. Never opened. Like 10 bucks worth!’ Then I start looking around at what people left behind; HUNDREDS of dollars worth of food! As tempting as that basket of fries was I’d still drink from the river.

I’d imagine the leftovers from the blazers game aren’t that bad… the winterhawks on the other hand.

This is funny.
