Strangercrombie Publish a Book, Commission a Revenge Rap, Invest in Your Political Future

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 7:30 AM

David Belisle and Kelly O
Glad tidings of great joy!

Here's the deal: Strangercrombie, our annual feel-good donation drive, ends next Wednesday, December 15 at 5:00 p.m. (instead of Friday, as in years past). In other words, THERE'S NO TIME TO DALLY. Bid now!

You can browse through all of our hand-crafted packages here. But for those of you overwhelmed by all the options (or for lazy readers who trust my impeccable taste in gifts), here are a few recommendations:

• Immortalize Yourself in a Book. So you have a book inside you—or on your desktop, rather—clawing to get out. Here's your chance: Third Place Books staff will consult with you then help you self-publish your oeuvre on their Espresso Book Machine, a fantastic contraption that'll print and bind 25 copies of your work as paperback books.

• Made-to-Order Revenge Rap. Totally trumps the revenge haikus I've been hobby writing for years.

• Political Planning Session at Cooper's Alehouse. Five city council members are up for re-election next year. If you're plotting to dethrone Bruce Harrell, Sally Clark, Tim Burgess, Tom Rassmussen, or the reanimated corpse of Jean Godden, you need to first grab a drink with Sandeep Kaushik, Thomas Goldstein, and freshly-elected Representative Joe Fitzgibbon (D-34). Kaushik is a seasoned political consultant; Goldstein owns the youth vote; Fitzgibbon is a winner. Together, they can tell you who's the weakest link on city council and how to take them down.

If you're too good for political upheaval, revenge, or reading, consider donating a little cash to our featured charities via our Strangercrombie PayPal account. Every dollar goes to two hard-working local organizations.

Strangercrombie: Once a year, we do something good™.

Hey Cienna (or whoever), go fuck yourself for deleting my post that criticisizes the shitty Strangercombie photo shoots.

They look like shit and maybe that's why you're deleting my perfectly valid criticism. Deal with it. Retake them -- you have a week. This time put some more effort into it than the holiday aisle at QFC and a bottle of Jack.

Until then, fuck Strangercombie.

@1, I have no idea what you're talking about--I neither read nor deleted your previous comment. That said, our web edit team only removes comments that "are off topic, threatening, or commercial in nature."

I can only assume your previous comment fit into one of those categories. Maybe take a chill pill and try again?

Way to blame the "web edit team" (lol? nonexistent?) and not take responsibility for even apologizing that a perfectly fine (but totally rude -- seriously, fuck those pictures) post was deleted for no reason.

Pissing off your daily readers, no matter how trollsome they may be, is how you kill online communities. Slog has already gone downhill over the last couple years; you're contributing to that right now.

@OFD - Chill.
@SLOG - Any excuses for these creepy/juvenile Strangercrombie photos?

Jesus OFD. Isn't there some other part of the internets you can piss on? Freak.

@6: I'm flagging this comment for being nonexistent.

Why so much uproar over the photos? Aren't they pretty similar to last year? Have you no sense of humor?

So, did you know that you guys aren't set up to accept donations (by Paypal, at least) from non-US addresses? So that, say, a Canadian could donate to your once-a-year good deed??
