Im kinda mind blown right now. The meaning of their name just now occurred to me - the Oregon Trail!
But so why the PORTLAND Trail Blazers?? It kinda disguises the meaning of their name. I guarantee 90% of NBA fans have never thought about what their name means. Including you guys even tho youll all pretend youd already made the connection.
Once you think of it, you realize theyre really ****in up with this.
Portland Trail Blazers?? Why not be the (OREGON (TRAIL) BLAZERS??
Thats so weird they didnt do that. The Trail Blazers name is obviously no coincidence, but why Portland instead of Oregon?
Unless only the city of Portland financed the team and therefore hogged the naming clout. But even so, the name would be cooler if they used the form that would actually resonate with more people. Why dont they just extend it to reflect the state? Theres never gonna be another team in Oregon to be confused with.
What a weird thing!

I don’t think I saw a single clipper last time I was in San Diego but that’s what they’re named after(before moving). I think I’ve seen more pelicans in Tampa and Miami than New Orleans too.

The OP is right. The Oregon Trail angle is so damn obvious once you catch it. Like spotting a buffalo herd from the wagon. But PORTLAND Trail Blazers?
Oregon Trail Blazers just hits harder. It's clean, iconic, screams history without making you squint to see it. Portland hoggin’ the name feels like some petty civic flex. You feel me?
They dropped the ball harder than a cholera outbreak. It's weird as hell.

It ain't just some random nitpick, it's about a team sleeping on a name that could've been straight fire. Oregon Trail Blazers? That's got weight, history, soul. Portland Trail Blazers feels like they settled for a half baked trail mix when they could've had the whole damn buffalo roast. Weird's the word when you're f@cking up a legacy move like that. You don't see it? That's on you, dawg.

Portland is on the border of washington. Probably got more ofvthose fans without calling it oregon?

I'm not feeling as comfortable talking about Axe's weight, after finding out that other posters are heavier than him, but you know that this probably made him hungry.
starface making Axe hungry. I guess it's not that difficult, though.

There may be other posters who are heavier than him, but there's nobody who's stinkier than him. Thats for sure.
When Axe is near
He makes people gag
Because he smells worse
Than a colostomy bag
:roll: So true.
