Do we really want anyone encouraging the fats to sit in exit rows? And I like how it gives them tips on what to do if during meal time if they are too fat to put down the tray. Of course it's not encouraging them to skip a meal or anything.

I sat next to a guy who could not get his tray down. Fortunately unlike a lot of really huge people, this guy took a shower and didn't smell like a homeless guy. Anyway, he politely asked if he could use my tray to set his drink down. It was OK, as long as he wasn't eating. Anyway, poor bastard was in the middle seat and gave me such a crick in my neck, because I was in the window seat and had to lean the whole time due to spill-over.

Newflash - Hershey's kisses. New flavor? Not sure, have never seen them before. They're called Double Fudge and I highly recommend them. They are very fragrant and taste chocolatey.

Mmmmmm.

Vinny Testaverde will not go away.

Quincy Carter cut by the Cowboys leaving Vinny to be starting QB.
I can't tell you how much I hate Vinny. Apparently Carter will join Ricky in the "I'd rather smoke pot than play football" bunch.

I don't know this story, and am similarly curious -- hey, if I scroll down, maybe I'll find someone posted it last week -- and read last weekend that her brother is one of Kerry's closest advisors.

Observations from a bit of a distance: Nice woman, but on the dull side. One of those reasonably smart people who just is a little too wrapped up in something going on inside her head to bother with the world. My general impression is they both lost interest somewhere along the way; I can't vouch for how strong the interest was in the first place. Maybe she seemed enigmatic at first.

Mostly correct, I'd say.

Oh, great. If Kerry is elected and appoints some dude named Thorne as Ambassador to the Court of St. James, I'll be worried. But if that Ambassador then proceeds to have a son named Damien, that shit is fucked up and I am outta here. You'll find me holed up in a Residence Inn with pages from the Bible taped to the walls.

Oh well I could have told you that. You should have asked. ALWAYS RENT A CAR. Otherwise you'll have to beg the grandparents to let you use the Ford LTD which hasn't gone more than 8 miles round trip since the early 80s, or in a fate worse than death they'll offer to drive you. And if you do actually get to drive the car, don't forget to put gas in it because grandpa will check the mileage to make sure you haven't gone on a frolic and detour.

Too bad "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For the Guy Who's Not the Former Brother-in-law of the AntiChrist's Father" is too unwieldy for a bumper sticker...

I voted for Kerry for you Damien... FOR YOU!!

2) circa dragon. he was the hottest poster who I had no idea what he looked like

Even though I hated Con Law and spent most days not paying attention - this makes total sense.

SEATTLE - Gay couples can be married under Washington state law, because denying their right to do so is a violation of their constitutional rights, a judge ruled Wednesday.

"The denial to the plaintiffs of the right to marry constitutes a denial of substantive due process," King County Superior Court Judge William L. Downing said in his ruling.

"Judge Downing saw the couples in the courtroom and he's recognized that they are full and equal citizens of Washington. No more and no less," Pizer said.

At first they loved each other, then they decided they didn't?

no.
Mr.'s fats are to NAAFA members as AG is to the pope. They may be fat, but they aren't NAAFA fat. NAAFA fats, he couldn't expect to do anything- it is clear upon seeing them they can't.
