Spinasse Opens. No, Really.: It's the ambiguous pricing and menu description that is going to get them in trouble eventually. Nowhere on the menu does it read, $33 per person $47 per person - We were told, for example, it's family dining, it all comes out together. If you order the Principale Menu it's $47 HELLO PEOPLE, EVEN THE SERVERS DON'T SAY, PER PERSON. Sure, that adage may work with Italians after a few glasses of grappa, but c'mon, you've got to spell it out A LOT better than that to Americans in an American economy. Worth $215.00 for three? Nope. - Submitted by ajx

On Not Reviewing Shrek: Ethics and Greed: Actually book reviewers do get Advanced Reading Copies that make clear that the book may change before its official publication date. These ARCs also make clear that they are not for public sale. Neither are film rough cuts put in theaters and sold to the public as if it was the final product. One cannot say that about these shows. They are being sold for public consumption. The critic, I thought, was there for the viewer's benefit, not the artists or producers. Holding off on telling the public about a show because it is a preview is not doing your job to the public as a critic and journalist. - Submitted by Daniel

Sticking it to David Stern the Barely Legal Way: It's a great idea, and I hope you are mailing it the european leagues. I think this would serve as the ultimate finale to the most shameful chapter in the story of professional sports commissioners. Europe would pay more for the talent, and by drafting at 18, I think they would get a huge interest in people signing 1 year deals to see what they think of playing in Europe. - Submitted by Sean

The Recline of Western Civilization: She married him with full knowledge of his disgusting taste in decor, didn't she? Or did he somehow manage to keep this a secret for the entire courtship? Did she think he would suddenly change just because he's got a little ol' ring on his finger? Why is she only whining now? I would have put my foot down before even dreaming of cohabiting with someone who keeps a deer's head. I mean, c'mon. Girl's only got herself to blame. - Submitted by Vanessa from Cambridge

Thursday Night @ Tractor Standing Room Only - Like There Was a Choice: Emma, I agree. That's become more the norm there and it is too bad. I can see that for shows where they'd expect wild dancing to happen, that few/no chairs would make sense. But for shoegazing tunes they could set up folding chairs...and that would allow more people of varying heights to see. They get a bit stingy on the AC as well...which can be a drag this time of year...luckily it was on that night. Even without high heels...my feet get a bit weary standing on that hard floor. - Submitted by Doug

Detainees Refute Northwest ICEaE™s Denials of Abuse: My husband was arrested while shopping for auto parts to fix our car. While he was incarcerated he became dehydrated, caught the Asian flu and almost died due to a lack of medical treatment that he'd repeatedly requested. A chicano guard threatened to put him in isolation when he was completely immobilized due to the sickness, he told him: If I die, it will be on your conscience. Finally he was admitted to a hospital. Shackled to a hospital bed, a nurse told him that if they had waited one day longer to get him in he most likely would have died. - Submitted by Helen from Seattle

As Scientology Expands, So Do Its Naysayers: $cientology is a cult of greed. It's called pay to pray, and it's designed to be a money-making scam. That's why it is so ridiculous that the profit-based company is tax exempt. Most of the protesters just want the IRS to re-impose a normal tax on the cult since they charge rather than simply accept donations like religions. - Submitted by Lisa from Portland

Live Review: Tom Petty at the Gorge: If you want setlist variation, go to a hippy show. Petty is a pro, and he delivered. I only went Saturday night, along with my 16 yr old son. If he hadn't played our faves, I'd have been disappointed. Jams sounded fresh, even tho they'd obviously rehearsed. His stage presence is immense, and the audience loved him. And what's with the slam on Winwood? Great opener. Bit o' history there, cool groove, almost like seeing Traffic. Enjoy the music, lose the expectations. - Submitted by mossman

When a Driver Does Something Nice, What Gesture Should I Use?: Dear Uptight, I'm a big fan of yours. Whenever I accidentally pick up The Weekly instead of The Stranger, I often remember to read your column. Have you ever considered adding humorous content to it? - Submitted by Laughs Last from Seattle

Neat Loaf, Healthy Bread, and the Ookies at Silence-Heart-Nest: SHN's Mediterranean Omlette is the best in the city. I ate it every Sunday for two years when they were at their old location in the U-District. I still go back when I need to be comforted with a good wholesome and delicious meal. - Submitted by I love to eat

Neuheisel Still Handsome, Reports ESPN: The slick rick boos ought to outstrip the a-rod boos by a sonic boom. There were a whole heap of M's fans who understood, if not respected, A-Rod taking the money and running. There ain't a dawg fan on the planet that has a single iota of understanding or respect for Neuheisel. Just typing the name arouses a loathing reserved only for, well, him. - Submitted by Keegan
