Comments on Question of the Day

Because we value tradition, here!

well, that has a lot to do with the jet stream. and satan. eeeep, ooop, BIRDS! thank you.

Seattle is fascist against toads? Since when?

Is this the same guy that takes out full page ad-rants about inconsequential bullshit in the Stranger?

If so, please stop giving him airplay.

Don't blame me, I voted for Charlie Chong.

Why is it so much easier to be a whiny little bitch under a pseudonym?

I thought Nostradamus was supposed to supply (cryptic) (non)answers, not pose questions. Get it straight, N 2.

...Mr. Blomstrom?

@4:

Unless he's now posting from beyond-the-grave, that guy died a couple of weeks ago.

No, this is a completely new crackpot.

And in answer to his question: because that carefully crafted "reputation" is generally effective in discouraging stupid people from moving here.

Of course, there are always a few exceptions who manage to slip through anyway, case in point.

To me, Seattle is known for two things: (1) Coffee. (2) People who need still more coffee to be fully functional.

That was weird.... I would just say we are a bunch of passive/agressive spineless liberals with a stick up our collective asses (replaces the missing spine) who have no clue how to dress with any taste...

Wait, did you all bring the TSS column back? Geez.

Oh, thanks Comte. I did not hear the news. Brain cancer? That explains a lot.

Nostrodamus- Ask the bouncer guru fat guy that the Stranger wasted space on this week. he'll enlighten you.

It is mostly because of dogs in bars.

Nostradamus forgot to mention that Seattle is also known for; tired, tragic, thieving, lying, lecherous, and mentally ill old drag queens- can we say Mark “mom” Finley?

Also, serial killers and painfully bad drivers!

Sorry, Nostradamus 2 -- That information is available on a need-to-know basis only (though inquisitive non-qualifiers might try consulting Nostradamus 1).

Shut up, bitch! Go fix me a turkey pot pie.

Oh N2, that is a great question!

We like to keep our thieves full of fascism, our journalists full of whores, and our whorelike morons full of backwater. It keeps the status quo really.

Do the math, that shit adds up.

@19

What about you, Dad?!

Since when is Seattle known for anything except rain and coffee?

...The Aristocrats!

@19

...to quote Atmosphere's hidden track...

I guess you guys got somekind of low self-esteem problem. The rest of the country views Seattle as a pretty cool place.

I never thought our prostitutes were particularly noteworthy, Lou Graham being the exception, of course.

@26 - good point. Same goes for our politicians and news writers.

He and the rest of you are operating under the assumption that Seattle is "known." I can assure you that it's not. I've been asking people all over the country, and to a man (or woman or tranny), they all say "Seattle who?...You mean that crazy cancer-ridden bitch-whore who died in a rain-soaked alley behind the coffee-shop?"

@14...I know, huh? I'm sure this comment is out of place but i just read that pointless article. He wins "best throat-ee". Or worst.

@25 This town was *built* on low self-esteem, baby!

I'll take RHETORICAL QUESTIONS for $200, Alex...

@28 - all I know is when I travel around the world - Venice, Florence, Nice, Paris, wherever - all I have to do is say I'm from Seattle and people know where that is.

And here I thought it was known for coffe and the space needle! Silly me!

@32 - that's only because they've all been to Vancouver recently.

@14 and 29... Do you guys know Eli? you should. He's a damn fine human being and he deserves a page in the paper. The Stranger "wastes space" on all kinds of things every week... I'm thrilled to see a good man get some of his due.

As far as Seattle:

Is it... the rain? Or is it... the mayor?

It's a population control tactic. Imagine if people knew the truth, we'd have even more that match your description running around.

If you're living here, thanks for leaving soon. If you're elsewhere, believe what you hear and if you have to move, go somewhere nice like Sacramento.

'Cause

That's the way we LIKE it!
