You take the strangest things personally. Seriously. I don't care what brands you wear, and I have nothing against them generally, because I'm not overly concerned with what label is in clothing, but that you happen to wear them does not speak highly of them.

I do consider myself the anti-ppnyc, but that isn't any knock on the brands. I kind of dig being smart and funny. And I don't think that guys who are nice to me in Starbucks necessarily want to fuck me right there. Though, who knows, perhaps some of them do.

And, as a p.s. I do take the insinuation that I am not smart and funny personally. IRL I am smart and funny. And I don't think everyone in Starbucks wants me that's lame.

I aspire to be like ncs, although my way of manifesting my anti-ppnyc-ness is to never be dressed professionally at any time. And lots of guys want to fuck me in a Starbucks.

I am still boycotting Starbucks (FUCK YOU HOWIE SCHULTZ) but I think the gay barrista at Tully's wants to arsepound me. NTTAWWT.

I would rather fuck you in a Caribou Coffee. I like fucking outdoors and it feels more outdoorsy.

Perfume is flammable, no?

(Even so, I still think the regulations are stupid.)

I was serious. I once sat near an perfume-wielding octagenarian and it was painful. She sparyed herself at least 5 times during the flight and the flight attendant didn't ask her to stop until the 5th shot, by which time I could barely open my eyes.

She definitely deserved an asspounding by a TSA air marshall.

Someone here defines herself by her labels. Let's see if we can figure out who that person is.

I like my Gap pants.

Me? Is it me? Oh please let it be me.

For the record, I wore Dockers yesterday (yes Dockers). They fit me and they're the only noncrapi-length pants I own that are sandal length. Yes, sandals. It was 85 here yesterday.

Why? Does your laptop run on toothpaste and eyedrops?

Just show up naked with NO carry-on. Those are the new rules.

naked would mean checking my underwear. I thought you said not to do that. NWTF?

Anyhoo, as a response to my frustration I went out a bought a fractional share in a private jet. A business expense (if utilised correctly, according to my accountant, hi Bill!), so deductible. No rules there. I pay to play.

Hi!

eta: Oops, um, never mind.

That would be reCockulous. How the fuck are those of us who never check bags supposed to travel?

Don't think of it that way. Think of all the time that will be saved by not having to wait for all the jerks trying to cram a steamer trunk into the overhead bins.

• British authorities said Thursday they had thwarted a plot to simultaneously blow up several aircraft heading to the U.S. using explosives smuggled in carry-on luggage. In response to the reported terrorists plots in the UK many flights in and out of the UK have either been cancelled or are experiencing significant delays.
  
  The Lawyers' Travel Service has enacted our crisis procedures and we are identifying those travelers en route affected by this development. The agent teams will begin contacting and making arrangements for those travelers. We will continue to monitor the situation for further developments and will continue to communicate and rebook travelers where possible.
  
  *In the UK*
  
  Following this morning's police action, security at all UK airports has been increased and additional security measures have been put in place for all flights.
  
  With immediate effect, the following arrangements apply to all passengers starting their journey at a UK airport and to those transferring between flights at a UK airport:
  
  All cabin baggage must be processed as hold baggage and carried in the hold of aircraft departing UK airports.
  
  Passengers may take through the airport security search point, in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag, only the following items. Nothing may be carried in pockets:
  
  • Pocket-size wallets and pocket-size purses plus contents such as money, credit cards, id cards, etc. (not handbags)
  
  • Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets)
  
  • Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (e.g., diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic
  
  • Glasses and sunglasses, without cases
  
  • Contact lens holders, without bottles of solution
  
  • For those traveling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight
  
  • Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed
  
  • Tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs
  
  • Keys (but no electrical key fobs).
  
  All passengers must be hand searched, and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be X-ray screened.
  
  Wheelchairs and walking aids must be X-ray screened, and only airport-provided wheelchairs may pass through the screening point.
  
  In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the U.S. and all the items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, must be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate.
  
  Any liquids discovered must be removed from the passenger.
  
  There are no changes to current hold baggage security measures.
  
  *In the U.S.*
  
  In addition, we want to advise travelers that due to heightened security in the U.S., airport officials are currently advising passengers to allow an additional 2 or 3 hours to their normal arrival at the airport, carry as few items in their carry-on as possible and do not attempt to bring liquids as carry-on items.

I hope they still have time to search for all of the nail clippers and files. 'Cause you know how risky they are.

Again, this looks like serious overkill, directed at items that pose no risk at all, at the risk not only of inconveniencing everyone, but also of over looking actual threats.

I was thinking today about why there aren't more of those puffer explosive detecting machines in airports. I am sure they are not perfect, and I don't know whether they detect the types of home made explosives that were used in the London July 7 bombings, but they would seem like a far more effective and less intrusive answer to this current (entirely predictable) crisis.

Once, while waiting for a plane, a hippie woman and her hippie husband were fascinated by this mystic oil they had just purchased somewhere. Bottles and bottles of scented oil. Well they both kept putting it on one another. Over and over and over again. Probably 10 or 11 coats. It smelled like a blend of Sandalwood and dog shit. Then someone approached them and asked if they would please stop applying the oil since it was making everyone in the waiting area nauseous. She took offense, but kept taking the lid off to smell it.

At least it wasn't aerosol.

I have no doubt that this is true, and hope that your continued investment in your on-line persona pays off.
