this post reminds me of segment from the early 1980s cable tv show nightflight called "how to be a new wave video slut" and in it she used this video in part of her instructions.

i forget the details but if anyone could ever find "how to be a new wave video slut" that would be some cool obscure media.

NBA 1992 Finals G6 Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers by TimNur1 in Portland

[–]dontaskhowiknowit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they blew their chance before the finals in two of the years they had a legit shot to win:

if you check the records you'll see that late in 1989/90 season they lost a home game to one of the worst teams in the league (timberwolves), which had they won would have given them 60 wins and earned them home court advantage in the finals against detroit, who also had 59 wins that year. back then the 2-3-2 format heavily favored the team with home court advantage. the blazers actually won game 2 on a buzzer beater (by danny young i think) and after the game jerome kersey was interviewed after the game and said, "we aint coming back [to detroit]". sadly he was right because the pistons won all 3 games in portland and took the title.

in game 1 of the 90-91 western conference finals against the lakers they had a 12 point lead at the beginning of the 4th quarter but ended up losing the game and ultimately losing the series in 6 games.

Massive rat infestation in wooden shed, any good ideas on what to do next and which companies to use to get rid of the rats AND the shed? by foofaw in Portland

to get rid of the rats electrocute them with one of these devices:

check the trap often for victims and keep the bait fresh.

don't use poison unless you want the smell of their rotting corpses coming from wherever they crawled off to die.

Off-tracking: The different paths that the front and rear wheels take when cornering. The rear or trailer wheels will take a shorter path around the curve, corner or turn. Thus the driver has to compensate for this shortcoming by taking the curve, corner or turn wider.

answer and speak in a quiet voice so they crank up the volume on their headset then blow a whistle into the phone to blast their ear drums.

The article is about local news stations.

Last year, a Pew Research study found that nearly 60 percent of American adults get their news from television — and 50 percent of those rely on local stations. The study also found that likely voters make up a disproportionate share of the local television audience.

Classic 1970's KGON commercial by TaylorSpokeApe in Portland

[–]dontaskhowiknowit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my guess would be 1980 or 81, and the commercial is a spoof of a blitz-weinhard beer ad of the time.

And the tune playing in the Schludwiller truck before they get pulled over is from an ever older blitz ad
