“You know, I kind of want to go to New York City now.”
Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more.... More by Lindy West
They won your hearts and minds, eh?
If we already won then it’s a little late to be a “war tourist” per se, but yeah, best time to get in there is while they are all shock and awed at our mighty snarkiness.
Screw New York. I loved today in Slog.
So, who are ya going to be hatin on next? First, the Canadians (still waiting on Judah’s invasion, got my bags packed…), then New York, who’s next? Boston? Vancouver?
I would, however, like to humbly suggest that all of this bile-spewing should be counter-acted with a new additon to Slog: Hot Boy Friday. C’mon, all the other bloggers are doing it (http://www.tinynibbles.com/blogarchives/…). If you need any help, I would be happy to take a break from my other demanding jobs (part-time retail thong saleswoman, volunteer condom distributor, pro-bono wine critic, toilet bowl cleaner) to go surfing.
wait: “all shock and awed at our mighty snarkiness.”
should read your mighty snarkiness.”
’cause i kinda thought the whole endeavor was a pointless war started by a petulant little man.(** charles **)
egads, the Stranger really is a nest of Hawks.
@5: You’re still boring as fuck, you know?
oh fun, the stanky douche apologist troll pops up again.
Stanky douche apologist trolls have feelings too.
@ 8: thanks for the teachable moment, ***SLOG Cares***
Also, mom said to tell you dinner is ready.
I’m sorry, this has become a hive of butthurt and FAIL.

Wut
You know, there are 50 states and 52 weeks. One major city per state plus DC, then a day of reremberence for the fallen.
Doesn’t the Stranger know there is a blog war on?
@13: Puerto Rico rounds it out to an even year’s worth. Do it guys!
If you’re counting to fifty, you’re getting pretty far down the “major city” list. Wake me when you get to Pierre, SD or Cheyenne, WY. Keene, NH?
@10: okay, but after that, lets take mom out for a FAB sparkly night out on the BROADWAY(or insert small town equivalent), she’ll already be snockered **yay**, plus you know how much she loves people in tights.
“this has become a hive of butthurt and FAIL.

oopsies.
Hot Boy Friday would go a long way to relieving the butthurt…just sayin’….
I agree with Canuck. Three cheers for Hot Boy Friday!
Is this the new Chelsea Alvarez-Bell incident on SLOG? Tune in tomorrow! Same SLOG time, same SLOG channel.
SLOG: You will never find a more wretched hive of butthurt and FAIL.
I’ll say this much. I read SLOG every day but I don’t read any NYC news blogs… perhaps I’m missing something? Perhaps. I’ll admit that.
But at least for now I’ll GLADLY take The Stranger and SLOG’s ignorant naivete over ANY NYC blog’s pretentious smug-fest any day of the week.
Further… I don’t even live in Seattle, nor have I ever lived there. I DID live in NYC for several years, on the other hand, and I can say without hesitation that there’s nothing special about living there. Really, there isn’t.
Just my own two cents worth, but I felt like sharing… discard at your pleasure.
@21 – i DO live in new york but i agree with you… can’t find any blog that comes close to the combined thoroughness and entertainment value of SLOG
but i like it here.
Oh god PLEASE post something interesting!!
Stranger staff want to be a part of it. They want to be king of the hill, top of the heap.
@pissy mcslogbot – i must know, are you m or f?
@25: i am perplexed by this binary gender query.
😉
I say next week they start a war with Hawaii over who has the most surfable water.
@26: Both? Neither? Some of each?
Whatever the answer, you are quite a saucy little tart.
@28: aaawww, you sure know how flatter someone with those honeyed words.
but actually, I have been intentionally vague, because the persona of pissy was always just… genderless.
@29: thinking about it, perhaps not so much “genderless”, just way, way, WAY gender fluid; depending on the moment.
