The Wire: Britain officially hooked

I am commenting here on the piece titled "The Wire: Britain officially hooked" by the writer with the very British Isles name, Brett McCabe. I'm hoping I'm doing this in the right place. Anyway, it's true, we've fallen head over heels for The Wire. Beautifully written, with equel amounts of heart-break and excitement made in a way that, no matter how hard we have tried, UK writers just cannot com ...

Henry, as always, well done. Your rants and raves always amuse me and I have much respect for the fact that I know where you stand on things. There is always eloquence in your writing that shows off your knowledge of food as well as Baltimorean wit that adds a touch of grittiness. Alas, you cannot please everyone. Criticism is humbling and everyone needs it from time to time. Let’s hope that nex ...

Henry, your descriptions of food make my mouth water. I despise funnel cake and most things fried, but I'm tempted to try your fried dough! Seoigh, or whatever your name is (is that even a word?), I don't understand what your problem is. He didn't even say the word "fuck" once in his article, he's the furthest thing from "hipsterish..." What the hell are you smoking? His article was about trying ...

seoigh, are you hurt because he called fried dough easy? Aww cheer up. What's douchey and childish is someone like you who took the time to call Henry a douche. Just because he's not trying to write a article with very intense formulas and vocabulary doesn't mean he's a bad writer. Why don't you show your writing huh? And we'll see who's the bad writer. Douche. Yeah, because calling someone a do ...

The day you are more knowledgeable about food than Henry Hong, then MAYBE you can throw in your ridiculously cocky opinions. But considering the fact that you can only diss the deliverance of his article rather than the actual information he is giving his readers, I would say that day will most likely never come for you. If you bothered to read the article for what it is, or any of his articles ...

witty response foodnerd. Henry's writing is young enough to keep my teenager interested and detailed-oriented enough to keep me interested and to let us both know that he's not just filling space with words, but is really passionate about food. After reading Henry Hong's articles for the last year or so, I would bet that he can hold his own with the best of chefs and food scientists. I would ...

I would urge everyone who's read this article and having problems with bed bug infestation to write to their city councilman and urge them to support the legislature mentioned above. They can't ignore all of us, not if they want to get elected again. Also, Western Pest Control came highly recommended to us by the landlord who owns the property next to ours, from where our current infestation ori ...

I think if you used the word "fuck" three or four more times, you would have come across as really super edgy! I can't remember a more self-conscious attempt at urban hipsterism than this article. You could win an award for writing this badly. Don't you think there should be a reward for that? We could call it the Ditkoff. If you don't want people to think you are a douche, don't write like o ...

I'm not really sure what you wanted. I acknowledge the various allegations (and I think it's worth noting that they remain "allegations" regardless of what any of us believe) but I'm a little confused about how much more you wanted from the CP that, frankly, you can't get from any MSM outlet. I guarantee any seamy details you want about Jackson's children's paternity, his money woes, drug use an ...

My visits to Vogue Revisited have been very positive and I found the staff to be very helpful and knowledgeable about the merchandise. Quite the contrary, I found them to be friendly and very professional. There is a video camera behind the counter and there would be no need to follow anyone around the store. Jen and Responsible Shopper should revisit the store again-the prices are terrific. W ...

When OJ dies, is the murder trial an "aside", and the rest of the article seven paragraphs on how good he was at USC and with the Bills?
