Dec 10, 2012 brendan commented on Scones.

Scones are almost always too dry and crumbly for me to enjoy; as a food purist, I refuse to dunk things in my coffee. And what's with the giant crystals of sugar on top? Sometimes I settle for the two-bite scones from the grocery store, which are probably full of stabilizers and preservatives, but at least they have good flavor and texture.

TL;DR.

Oct 10, 2012 brendan commented on The Dumbest Blog Post Ever Written About Seattle.

@33, Worst place in the entire world? Surely you jest. Boring neighborhood, yeah, but I sleep pretty well at night with all the nothing going on.

Sep 30, 2012 brendan commented on Restaurant Recommendations for Shabu-Shabu and Chicago-Style Pizza (in Seattle!).

+1 @33. WPH is OK, but Kylie's is considerably better.

@25, stuffed pizza is gross. Wads and wads of semi-molten cheese that just won't go down the hatch without making me gag. Ugh.

Kylie's is an excellent approximation of Chicago-style pizza. Been going there for years.

You know what would be as morally repugnant as Pedophile Pride Day? Bryan J Fischer Pride Day.

Sep 19, 2012 brendan commented on Leschi Property Owners Taunt Angry Neighbors and Government with Sign Telling Obama to "Kiss Our Booty".

The mention of Obama is puzzling. Just about any alleged burden these wackos would encounter (e.g. getting the right building permits) is sure to be a city/county issue, not a federal one. An Obama presidency has no bearing on the permitting process, height limits, setback requirements, etc. Idiots.

I'm sorry, Dan and Cindy, but that was intolerable to listen to.

Sep 16, 2012 brendan commented on AZ Judge to Sexual Assault Victim: "When you blame others, you give up your power to change.".

Shame on the dishonorable Judge Hatch for blaming the victim of her sexual assault. SHAME. And the judge could use an English lesson, too.

Incorrect: "If you wouldn’t have been there that night, none of this would have happened to you."
Correct: "If you hadn't been there that night, none of this would have happened to you."

Aug 12, 2012 brendan commented on Some Restaurant in Seattle Needs to Start Offering These, Like, Now.

Eew. Just give me the plain pretzel. I never put butter on things, such as toast, though I admit it's useful as an ingredient in many recipes.

Aug 11, 2012 brendan commented on The Most Important Slog Poll of All Time! Paul Ryan: Hot or Not?.

Addendum: He's reasonably handsome for someone his age, and handsomer than the average politician. But not hot. He's too clean-cut and generic, like a model from the Lands' End catalog who happens to be in politics.
