11 Best Quotes From Portlandia's Feminist Bookstore
IFC

Several months ago, the feminist bookstore Portlandia films at put a "Fuck Portlandia" sign on their front window. The store, In Other Words, recently explained their reasoning in their blog. Basically, the store no longer wants to be associated with Portlandia.

The store claimed that the Portlandia crew mistreated their staff, left the store a mess, and made neighboring stores close for a full business day without warning. In addition, In Other Words claimed to make no money from the show and that tourists would take selfies outside instead of shopping in their store.

Furthermore, the store staff says that the feminist bookstore segments are trans-misogynistic, trans-antagonistic, and "straight up not funny." Even though the show may offend some people, the Women and Women First bits had a few good quotes here and there. Here are some of Toni and Candace's sassiest moments on the show.

1. "Every time you point I see a penis."

2. "This is my full extension. We cannot get it for you. I can't reach it."

3. "This is not a back alley, hooker, pimp transaction."

4. "Are you some kind of gender detective?"

5. "What a journal should be is a document of misery."

6. "What are you drinking?" "It's cap-a-tu-tu-tu tea."

7. "This is a private dance. This is a dance you do in your backyard and there's a full moon."

8. "It's a top selling author. Do we want that in here?"

9. "We're about to freak out right now. We're about two seconds away from jumping up on this table and kicking everything in sight, which by the way is our own property."

10. "It's a pullover jacket for my daughter." So you own your daughter?"

11. "I will hold your hand, and go out into the street, and make us both get hit by a car."

Will Toni and Candace come back without their bookstore? It could make for an interesting story line. We'll have to wait and see in the next season of Portlandia.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
