Letter of the Day

posted by on August 21 at 16:58 PM

YAY X-WORD!

DEAR STRANGER: I look forward to pooping because that’s where I get to read The Stranger. Up until recently, I usually am finished with the whole issue after five days, leaving two excruciating days of monotonous toilet time anxiously awaiting the next issue. God bless your big gay souls for including a crossword puzzle at the back. That seems to be doing the trick! I do hope that it remains as a regular occurrence in the best damn toilet read and really the only thing keeping me in Seattle [I’m not about to bring a laptop on the shitter to read y’all online].

Crappily yours,
Sam

Yes, 'yay' for X-word, I'm stoked you brought it back.

But a big fucking BOO to no 'Monkeys Hate You' and 'Control Tower'. Those were the first things I looked for in each issue.

Someone read "Monkeys Hate You"? That was the worst comic in the history of comics.

Another "yay" for the crossword.

But I found it kind of odd that it (along with the other new features in last week's issue) garnered only a mini mention, and that was just two sentences in Last Days referring in general to the redesign.

Why no 'New Column' on the new paper? Is it too much to ask for even a semi-formal introduction?

I must disagree, Fnarf. "Monkeys hate you" is one of the funniest comics that I've ever seen. Can't explain why, it's just SO GOOD.

People who are bored on the pot need a basic lesson on masturbation as alternative to boredom - and how you could read It for five days is not to be believed - half hour and that is it - they must be addicted to the ads

Dan? Shitting and masturbation as relief - double whammy relief .....

Throw projectile vomiting in there Angel, and you've got yourself a Trifecta.

I got around to reading the actual paper today, cool cover. And I was glad to see the crossword as well. Is this Quigley Emmett guy a pseudonym for Clark 'x-word' Humphreys? i miss Misc.

How fast you do read? Healthy crapping takes no more than five minutes, tops. Any more and you're just loitering with a shit-encrusted ass. Ew.

Yes! Misc..... God I miss that column.
I was going to write a snarky post here about how this is a return of the crossword and that Clark Humphrey used to do an excellent one as well as the much-missed Misc. column.... but seeing that someone else remembers it and felt it worth noting too assuaged my snarkiness.....

I agree!! Monkeys Hate You was simultaneously the best and worst comic ever!! But that's just cuz I'm the one who does it. I wanna keep it in Seattle after a great run in THE STRANGER. Any suggestions? xojimmy
