This whole series is hilarious. Episode 3 – the mayor is in on it until he meets “a f*cking phoenix who will f*cking destroy all swords.”

“In business news today, Investors were stunned when stock price of swords took an unexpected nosedive.”

Looks like they both die. Nice work.

Charles Wood, the concerned citizen who witnessed a ninja biker on the loose down by Dante’s on SW 3rd this weekend, has been told by the mayor’s office that “as long as he’s not threatening anybody, he’s welcome in Portland.” Here’s the email:

Dear Mr. Wood: Thank you for emailing about the samurai you observed on a motorcycle. Mayor Potter has asked me to respond on his behalf. I can appreciate your concern. By all appearances, the samurai is not breaking any laws (including carrying a sword) and does not pose any immediate threat. Provided that the samurai does not engage in threatening behavior, the samurai is welcome in Portland. Sincerely, Jeremy Van Keuren, Public Advocate, Office of Mayor Tom Potter, Portland, Oregon
