<title>Slog - Comments on Bring It On</title>
<link>http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/bring_it_on</link>
<description>It only seems appropriate that my first post should be about The Stranger, since ye olde Slog writers are continually getting flak for talking about themselves. I’m actually a fan of the self-referential posts and the overwrought inner workings of the staff. It’s kinda like spying on that weird neighbor across the street or eavesdropping on the bus. Since we’re all slogging from the comforts of our homes or (non-Stranger) offices today, there won’t be any Overheard in the Office posts concerning crazy things Charles has uttered, wacky outfits worn by Nipper, or disgusting foodstuffs making the rounds in Editorial....</description>

<title>Comment by Dan Savage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Uh... Fnarf? Have you visited www.thestranger.com? Or picked up a hard copy of the paper? We don't just do Slog, sitting around the office all day long, tapping out Slog posts. We do Slog IN ADDITION to putting out the paper--basically, we took our jobs (putting out the paper), and added another set of FULL TIME JOBS to our work load. </p>

<p>Before you and Kerri do a victory dance, the real test would be you guys doing Slog ALL WEEK LONG and putting out a whole issue of the Stranger too. While Slogging this week I was also putting together features, putting out fires, and doing my other writing -- for the Stranger and other publications.</p>

<p>So... like... EAT ME!</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Aislinn</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I think that Fnarf and Kerri Harrop should both be allowed more than six posts. Will in Seattle should get like three, because I'm likely to hate whatever ill-conceived slop he throws up about Fremont being the coolest, or any of his other boring pet issues.</p>]]></description>

<p>Sounds like a challenge.  Do you guys want a week-long vacation?  Kerri can write next week's Stranger, Gomez can sell some ads, Fnarf can write a few chapters in your next book, Will in Seattle can babysit for a week.</p>

<p>Then we'll see who really wins.  What's the worst that could happen?  Bankruptcy and asset liquidation?</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Dan @ 6 - there's a "Queer Issue" of the Stranger?  Oh come on.  Aren't they all?</p>

<p>It would be more amusing if you did a single hetero issue per year.  Throw a bone to the poor victim Christianists, you know.  In your inimitable style, of course.  ;-)</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Gomez</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><i>I had to remind him that the twenty-plus Editorial staffers that churn out such numbers are actually paid to write, unlike the motley assortment of nine ne’er-do-wells they’ve assembled here today, most of which will be furtively posting while employed at places other than Stranger.</i></p>

<p>I'm actually glad you mentioned this, as a disclaimer for the inevitable retort, "OMG you guys are writing for them for free!"  The writers don't get paid to Slog either.  They get paid to research and write the actual articles.</p>

<p><b>Overheard in my Office</b>:  Jack shit.  I'm listening to my iPod.  My 'office' is a large closet, literally.  Obvious jokes forthcoming in 5... 4... 3...</p>]]></description>

<p>OMG -- that's hilarious, Sachi! I'm surprised no one has thought to make that particular joke before. No, wait -- a quick check of my email archives shows that that joke has been made roughly three million times already.</p>]]></description>
