Honestly, Seattlest should not be pointing out other people's typos.

I take issue with Seattlest being days late on blogging things and generally taking a bandwagon approach to sniffing out and reporting "news".

I agree with Gomez! Reviews days or weeks after something happens are useless. Also, one of your staffers writes for them. That's fishy to me!

Well, if it's a Sports Stadium or an Underwater Big Dig Tunnel, it sure as heck is a waste of our tax dollars!

Besides, noone reads Seattlest.

It's true, no one does. Why would they?

Which of us writes for them?

I'm afraid to tell. Just look at the posts.

That's it. It's on. Name a place, and you're going down.

That's not true, Will in Seattle and Fnarf. Clearly Anthony himself has read Seattlest. And Amy Kate is well aware of our less-than-stellar copyediting (largely a result of there being no copyeditor at all). Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go back to writing a review of a show I saw in January 1998.

I read Seattlest. But I'm no one.

Just having a little bit of fun. No offense intended. My entire life is a typo.

Dear Seattlest,

It's On!

love,
Law Dude

ps. this is official.

Judging by your Ichiro post Dan, you don't actually "read" Seattlest.

For the record, no one copyedits Slog, either. We just beat our writers when they get too sloppy.

You are both retarded.

ME: I'm stumped. One of these people is also a Stranger employee? http://www.seattlest.com/staff.php

Donte Parks has contributed a few times to Lineout.

can we please get back to the matter at hand:

The Blue Angels are the worst thing in Seattle. Worse than a thousand traffic jams. Discuss.

the blue angels suck. how can a progressive city like seattle support superfluous jet emissions being released into the environment? they're loud, unnecessary, and it feels ridiculous to cheer on warplanes while our war is killing innocent people and naive soldiers. the blue angels are a tactless display of misplaced american machismo, and seattle should take a stand and excuse itself from having to endure this strut of plumage.

The smackdown between typo-ready Slot and Seattlest posters is much much more fun than the Blue Angels. :-)

There's a big diff between a quaint civic festival like Seafair, no matter how lame its clowns, how obnoxious its pirates and annoying its hydros, and the downright perverted Blue Angels. There's no excuse short of war for sending these military aircraft screaming across the rooftops, strafing civilian neighborhoods and wreaking havoc on our roads, all in a profligate waste of manpower, hardware and fuel. You want to know what it feels like to live in the Middle East, go hide in the bushes at Genesee Park for a few days, and imagine that the "Angels of Death" are dropping cluster bombs and firing live ammo. How anyone can defend this charade is beyond me.

Heh, I see I added to the typo-fest.

Anthony isn't anyone. Heck, I think he's just pretending to be online, probably has a trained monkey typing in "his" responses.

Like I said, noone read Seattlest.

Well, anyway, why bother with SeaFair when you've got the Fremont Solstice Parade instead? Or the two versions of Gay Pride?

Now, excuse me, I'm tired, been having those Blue Angels fly over my building all day and only saw them twice out the window.

I would pay to see Anthony and Seth fight. Or compete in a spelling bee. Also: FUCK THE FUCKING THE BLUE ANGELS! Pure terrorism!

It drives me nuts when people complain about the noise of the Blue Angels, or the traffic and crowds at football games, or the road closures for parades. We live in a big city people. If you want peace and quiet, move to Wenatchee. When it's Apple Blossom Festival time, you can easily avoid the tied up traffic in the 7 blocks of downtown.

No offense taken, Seth. I'll still fight you though, but that's just the way I am. It's not personal, I just like fighting. And spelling bees.

And Lark Hawk, I guess living in a city just means you have to tolerate anything and everything, huh?

"Strafing got you down? That's life in the big city! Don't like it? Get out!"

Really fast airplanes are amazing to watch and the Blue Angels are a "jet city" tradition. Yeah, it's kind of like sky nascar, except nascar is boring and the things that jet planes can do are mind boggling. If you're really concerned about the "waste of fuel", you're wasting your rage on the wrong things. Stop being so fucking gay, y'all!

Get on your bike and get on out of the big city, you Fuel Conserving, Noise Hating, War Fearing Homos!

'Merka! Fuckyeeuh!

Oh come on. I live in the one of the smartest, gayest cities in America and I love it. I'm also a big giant liberal. Liberals are smart and tend to succeed by delaying gratification and changing their behavior in responsible ways. But this whole argument reminds me of the "recreational motor-boating is bad" argument. Give me a fucking break! It's one thing to be upset about the social disruption-- that argument's been going on since I was a little kid. But the fuel? Really? Get a load of the big picture. Air shows happen in most countries with access to jets because they are amazing. The traffic isn't fucked up because people are quaking in their cars, they're trying to look at the jets.

And what exactly do you do when you hear them roaring overhead? I'm willing to bet that you're running to your window to get a look at them.

You probably don't care that I use biodiesel fuel in my car but trust me that unless you're preaching to the choir, you're doing more harm than good when you talk about how awful the Blue Angels are for all the fuel they waste.

Let's try to get the red-meaters to not think we're a bunch of sassy killjoys so that they'll take us seriously when we talk about smart growth, okay?

How is the Blue Angels' performance special if we see it every fucking year? Why not invite every other year or, better yet, once every several years? That way, it'll actually be an event and it'll be significantly less annoying.

You should pick one blog or another, plain and simple. Writing for both is a conflict of interest. Using both as a way to get into events free is even more lame.
Write for a real publication then exploit your "credentials". Seattlest is crap and Line Out & Slog have serious potential. Just keep it real that's all your readers ask for.

Can I fight anyone? I love fighting. Let me know.

Ia eat red meat, I vote red and I hate the fucking BLUE angels. Fucking America Haters!

and let's try not to let the conservatives think we're the kind of people who post 35 comments in a blog all night long so that when we really press them for net neutrality they don't call us nerds!

No one loves a misguided fun hater, Sean.

Ironic since The Stranger LOVES to poke fun of NIMBYs.

Look at yourselves and take it for three days. Hard.

What the hell is Seattlest?

It's some blog written by Stranger staffers that they keep trying to push on us, but we have no interest in.

Hey, let's have the Blue Angels on New Years Day - that would be cool!

The Blue Angels are LOUD, use scads of fuel, fly low, scare kittens and puppies, give war veterans flashbacks, and pose a constant danger of crashing into the ground and obliterating entire families in a huge orange fireball. In short, they're AWESOME!! I love 'em!

Yup, I write for both Lineout and Seattlest. It's hardly a secret, considering my name's right there in both cases. I'm not Stranger staff though. I suppose I'd have to stay out of any blog-fights that come up (I enjoy reading them though), but what's the issue with being ambiblogtrous?

No traffic, no red lights, nice, doesn't-ever-say-'no'-when-you-hit-the-gas engine, parachute, aerodynamics out the wazoo, and generally superior performance. Way deep into the game of the limits of Physics. A cool machine. Ah, I love you Blue Angels.

But if we must be rid of them, let's blow up some balloons and run down the sidewalk with towels safety pinned around our neck like capes. Yay! Hooray!

Or, let's get some wings on a Prius and get it airborne!

C'mon, detractors, seriously; the only thing cooler than the Blue Angels is the Space Shuttle. Then after that, the Mars Explorer. Etc.

Change the name The Blue Angels to The Infernal Noise Brigade and have them serve booze, and they'll have all the hipster support they need.

The problem isn't that they are too loud or dangerous or wasteful. It's that the Blue Angels aren't tragic enough, pathetic enough, and anti-whatever enough to be truly cool.

I like the airborne Prius idea. The Blue Angels every year is too much. And noise like the Blue Angels is not a "big city" thing. It's an annoying Seattle thing. NYC was never this noisy. And don't get me started on the sirens that blare almost constantly on Yesler.
