[SEL] Portland and stuff

[David Rotigel]

"End of the perch?" What the hell do you think we are Reg--STUPID?  
Shit we fell for that several years ago and bought you beer the whole  
time you were over here! Marg warned us, but we didn't listen. This  
time we simply don't trust you. We expect to see you MANY times before  
you turn room temperature--so stop trying to play on our sympathy!
