I just want to let you fuckurz know

...that in Portland, there is a store that sells frisbees.

JUST frisbees.

Burn it. Burn it all to the ground. We blew our chance. Time to let the roaches take over.

I'm probably a mile off but for some reason I got this impression of Portland that it's a town invented by hippies who got lost on the way back from woodstock on account of too much acid and the whole place is constructed of tofu with falafel stucco and stinks of 100 year old patchouli residue.

Like I said - I expect I'm a mile off here but maybe it goes some way toward explaining my complete lack of surprise over the frisbee shop thing

We have a store that just sells popcorn. Caramel popcorn, Sriracha popcorn, pumpkin spice popcorn, etc...

This isn't a mall kiosk, either. It's a full store just off the main square. My theory is that it's a front operation for laundering drug money or something.

Canada has had that since the 80s. And not a single store, a CHAIN.

It's a very minimalist operation. To get started you need:

1.) a popcorn popper
2.) something to drizzle with

For sure, but I couldn't do it.

Popcorn stores stink to high heavens.

I thought that was a thing everywhere? Portland has six or seven popcorn stores, including one called (cringingly) "Poplandia".

When I went to Burning Man (don't judge me) there was a Spatula Hut in the middle of the desert.

JUST frisbees.

And don't forget the juggling, unicycle, and slack-rope store. Clowning supplies.

The funniest thing about Portlandia is that it's non-fiction.

Really? It's only been a thing here for, I dunno, a few months. I never thought it would work. I had no idea it was even a thing.

What about baked potatoes? Do you have places that just sell baked potatoes? We had one in the mall in my home town when I was little. I ate there once and was violently ill all night. I blame the mushrooms.

We had that. It was called McSpud. It was my introduction to stroganoff.

Looks like it's still a thing. I found Spud Headz in Detroit, Potatopia in NY/NJ, Brixton's Baked Potato in Utah.

It makes sense that the larger the city, the more capable it would be of supporting extreme specialized businesses. I guess this town (Pop. 114,000) is just now big enough to support a popcorn store. It would seem 600,000 is when you start seeing frisbee stores.

I wonder how many people you would need to support a store that just sold tongue depressors.
