#5: That's the third SLOG ad in as many months with an egregious error. I especially liked the blast from the past 2009 Sound of Music performance advertised in January 2010. I'm wondering if the Ad Department charges normal competitive rates for ads with proofreading, but offers a 60% discount to illiterates.

Thank you to The Stranger for raising our awareness of beef, beef people, and beef day. Now how about some equal time for a foodstuff less sexy than carcasses?

Here's sumpin to get you started, not cribbed from industry press releases:

"Washington leads the nation in the production
of several crops: 92% of all raspberries are
raised here, 77% of all hops, 75% of the nation’s
supply of spearmint oil, 51% of sweet cherries,
46% of concord grapes, 46% of pears, 41% of all
peppermint oil, and 38% of all prunes and plums.

Other crops grown include: barley, alfalfa hay,
corn, lentils, onions, wine grapes, apricots,
peaches, canola, garbanzo beans, blueberries,
aquaculture, forest products, and many varieties of
vegetable seed."

Kudos to me as well, for doing my bit to increase beef-related traffic to Slog. That's why beef is on Slog's menu, after all...

No! Don't fill up on bread. It's BEEF DAY!

Save room for March 7, National Crown Roast of Pork Day! Seriously.
