Twenty years ago, this was the only thing I was doing. Remember in Back to the Future, when Marty McFly home in the future and it looks all run-down? That’s what I think about today when I see the Gateway Fred Meyer. The most shocking change I’ve seen in Portland in the last 20 years isn’t from my pedestal. I have a roommate and live in an apartment in the outer Gresham area. I’m considering taking the mail carrier exam soon. My worst day was back when I first started in San Francisco, on Fisherman’s Wharf, and it was February and rainy. I make 40 to 50 bucks on my best days, which last about four or five hours. When the money is better, I take more days off, but I pretty much work every day. I don’t wear Mickey Mouse sweatshirts, but I do wear Disneyland Halloween shirts and a Mad Hatter/Alice-themed denim vest. I’ve never performed at Disneyland, but I enjoy going there when I can squeeze it into my budget. That’s where I first saw contact juggling, mimes, and silver people. Due to Job Corps, I ended up in San Francisco, where I studied baking. Statue, as he prefers to be known, opened up about his two decades perched stonily silent just inches above the street as the city rushes past.Ĭontact juggling is where it all started. Travel Portland paid for it.) Slight of stature and very private, Mr.
SILVER BLUE GUY TV
Statue actually flew to Amsterdam in 2017 to play that silent character at an event for a Dutch reality TV show.

Performing his own brand of street poetry in slow- to no-motion, the silver-painted 45-year-old has become a Portland icon-as familiar to locals and tourists as Pioneer Courthouse Square’s bronze “umbrella man.” (Mr. Statue has patiently stood still, or nearly still, for more than 31,000 hours over the past 20 years with a donation bucket at his feet. I come from the medical community and Paul looks at the medical establishment askew.On a platform no larger than a standard-size water meter cover, just feet from the entrance of Pioneer Place in downtown Portland, Mr. Paul and I look at this very, very differently. It can damage internal organs like liver and kidneys. “Doctors are always concerned because silver is a heavy metal. “I think it’s fair to say that the color you see on the outside is the same color on the inside,” Snyderman said. “Because of some profound benefits that I had received from using it, like no more acid reflux, no more sinus troubles my arthritis went away,” he said. Lauer asked Karason why, if the silver did not cure his dermatitis, he keeps taking it. I had a friend who had severe petroleum poisoning, and I heard colloidal silver was helpful for that, and that’s how I started.”
SILVER BLUE GUY GENERATOR
“Originally, I just saw an ad for a colloidal silver generator in a magazine and the picture stuck in my head like a song might stick in your head. The ad said it was effective against a broad range of medical conditions - claims that the FDA says are not substantiated. But he had started drinking colloidal silver several years earlier after seeing a magazine ad for it.
SILVER BLUE GUY CRACKED
But the irony is that the silver he put on his face did not cure his dermatitis, although it did reduce the inflammation where his skin was cracked and peeling. Karason, who seems the picture of health, said he feels just fine.
