I hate the Blue Angels
3Aug2002 Filed under: Zomg blogger archivesDon’t get me started on why SeaFair sucks — it’s already been done. But let me tell you why the Blue Angels suck. In a time of war, is it really exciting to be sitting in your apartment and hear six fighter planes buzz your neighborhood? They’re so loud that car alarms go off after they fly overhead, and my water glass gets sympathy ripples. Does that make you say “Oh yay!” or does that make you want to hide under the bed in sympathy for what people all over the world feel when they hear American fighter planes overhead? It’s tacky and embarrassing that Seattle does this every year.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

My Parents house is in a direct flight path of the louder than hell Navy Flying Penis Missles called the blue angels. When I was younger we always worried one would come down onto our house and kill everyone. My mom still worries terribly every year. Seafair is pretty much attended by out of towners that drench themselves in budweiser and trash our city. The sound those horrible plans make would damage anyones hearing. Why are they needed in Seattle or any city? Shouldn’t they stick to airshows where people could elect to participate in their obnoxious display.
