Slog, Take Heed!

posted by on February 14 at 10:33 AM

Competition is in the offing, and furthermore, “‘Ideas are pouring in…. It’s a very creative time.’” One hopes the gents involved have their bumbershoots unfurled and raised against the conceptual onslaught. The newfangled website promises “News of the Great Nearby.” We at Slog have been anxious for news of ol’ Nearby; haven’t seen him since we wound up the gramophone and rolled up the rugs that one frolicsome evening. O, the high-jinks!

You're so funny when you're jealous and scared. Just like Erica!

After seeing that picture of Knute, I think I'm going to shave my beard. =/

Sounds a little to much like clear cut...


"News of the Great Nearby"... sheesh, they don't call it the world wide web for nothing...

Love the logo, man. Are they all going to get matching tattoos, man? Isn't this being done by a million different websites trying to be the next MySpace or Yahoo or whatever? Whatever, man.

Thanks, Bethany, that made me laugh. But Brewster is pretty smart and did a good job outlining the better hopes of the city - when there was some hope for you all. But Knute Berger? Jesus! That guy should be writing for the Valley edition of the L.A. Times. What a retrogressive, smug, suburban ex-hippie he is when discussing anything happening within 100 miles of home; regarding nationwide politics, though, his analyses are spot-on. Is he only able to think rationally about things happening across a body of water from where he lives? (Wait, Seattle is across a body of water...whatever.) Is he under the influence of some ancient curse? Is his Kirkland megamansion on an Indian burial ground or something?
