Slog - Comments on It Is Officially My Favorite Time of the Year http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/it_is_officially_my_favorite_time_of_the Apple enthusiast Sean Nelson sent me a text message yesterday afternoon that is, perhaps, even more important than the news about the Crocodile Cafe re-opening... "Honeycrisp apples sighted at Whole Foods. Repeat. Honeycrisps at Whole Foods. Over." I had one for breakfast. It was the best apple I've had all year. (Related: Remember that one time Sean interviewed a Honeycrisp apple? Ha ha!)...

I have a thing for fruit and googly eyes.

I agree with #5; I am more of a granny smith girl myself.

Vote Braeburn!

"Two sweet"? Riiiiight. I'm gonna wake up after too much sleep, have too many orgasms with my fuckin' sexy boyfriend, and then eat an apple that's too sweet.

Life is too good.
