Too bad #trimet won't name the new bridge "The Neil McFarlane Pension Inflation Bridge".

Building on iconic "Keep Portland Weird" history, #TriMet creates first public sex space with new Til-I-Kum bridge: "Top that Amsterdam!"

"When the countdown hit "one," the drummer delivered a cymbal rim shot and ... nothing happened." Like watching TransitTracker

Thanks to everyone who voted for the name Fu Jin Memorial Bridge. We fought the good fight but were outspent. #trimet #crispyeggplant

In a salute to Portland's world renowned adult entertainment industry #TriMet names new bridge the "Till I Cum" #KnowYourTourists #PMLR

Abigail Scott Duniway was a cool lady, but to get your name on a bridge you gotta be ruthless. http://t.co/Nu6gPyOtsh

Apparently, Trimet's board is made up of 13 year old boys and Portlandia writers. #PMLRBridge #tilikumcrossing

ReplyDeleteToo bad there wasn't a contractor who was willing to do that to the banner before the reveal.6
Here are two meanings for Tillicum:
ReplyDeletetillicum (ˈtɪlɪkəm)
— n informal( US ),( Canadian )(in the Pacific Northwest) a friend
[from Chinook Jargon, from Chinook tlxam kin, esp as distinguished from chiefs]
From Dictionary.com
Tilikum
From the ancient sanscrit language, which is read backwards. Mukilit; defined as Mutiliate, Kill It.
Tilikum sure did mutiliate and kill it.
From Urbandictionary.com
So the name for the new bridge means "Friendly Killer".
I hope I'm not on duty when it happens.
