Note to Alex, um, maybe this has more to do with your size and not the other passengers' bags?

the size of my elbow?

The first time you'll need to call 911 (if ever - I hope it's never) you'll wish to hell that you had a land line. You can eventually get through to the right person or firestation or police department - but believe me, it's way easier on a land line. Especially if you get disconnected - they at least know where you live.

Fuck that.

Sans land line for 5 years.

Sans paid cable for 5 years.

I get way too much joy out of not paying regulated monopolies.

I board when I'm told. And I've never actually been whacked. But I've seen it happen to plenty of people.

You check everything?

Bilmore's point, and I wholeheartedly agree with it (who am I? where am I?), is that the toolios who board early when they are in high-numbered rows have it coming; and that their concern that if they don't jump the line or elbow ahead of people in their same section of rows they won't be able to stow their carry-on bags is misplaced.

These same people also deserve to stand, hunched over into a back spasm inducing position, while waiting to disembark, if they haven't figured out by now that jumping up the moment the seat belt sign is turned off does not get you onto the jetway any faster.

The enormous size of your gut that overflows the seat onto the armrest, forcing your elbow out into the aisle.

Funny, I always thought you were a skinny black guy with makeup. Like, MJ.

I know and agree. I was responding to his statement that he boards last.

Don't you mean low-numbered rows? People who sit in the back should board earlier than people who sit in the front, logically.

Of course, as a Texan I have to say Southwest's system fucks this all to hell.

MJ's black? Where have I been?

You must have me confused with someone else. Or were you you referring to the size of my feet? Just checking...

In all seriousness, I am tall (6'4") with no gut and, when sitting in a typical coach aisle seat, my elbow sticks out into the aisle. I will repeat: carry your fucking bag.

I prefer not to talk on the phone when I am at home- bc I am trying to quiet the mind from all the chatter

That's an odd treatment.

Don't most schizophrenics just take perphenazine?

No gut because your fat is evenly distributed along your entire torso?

In all seriousness, I personally don't use a wheeled bag so anything I'm carrying on is being carried, but I nearly always check everything possible. So your whacking comments don't apply to me.

While I can think of many people, including most of my associates, who merit the description "wholly unattractive", I am struggling to think of someone who hits the uglier-than-a-bag-of-assholes facially scary.category. I had that reaction when I first saw Tina Fey on tv, but I think she had some work done so now she is just kinda homely to unattractive, not I-Must-Look-Away ugly. can anyone think of anyone this bag of assholes ugly?

Are you saying that you think you're hotter than Tina Fey?



Aside from her scar, she's not bad looking at all. And this photo doesn't really do her justice. She looks much better (SN)Live.

God, does Easter blow... Its such a non-event holiday, yet you still have to go home and get drunk with old relatives. I'm pretty sure Easter is the afterthought Christian version of Passover, just like the Jews get Hannukah around Xmas-time.

You, dear man, obviously do not understand the joys of Marshmallow Peeps. The yellow peep-shaped ones, not the heathenish neon pink or blue or violet ones shaped like something else.

That, and unfortunately I can't go see the relatives this year. I have 'a cold.'

OK, just don't have a heart attack or choke on anything. Or maybe - go ahead.
