I see. I was hoping it was a big raisin, which, while less interesting than your fish, would be rather more innocuous and not creep me out when I close my eyes.

Oh. My. God! He like SO is! I was just on the phone with fufu and she told me that she had Paigow and PJ on conference but didn't tell PJ and it was like super ironic that PJ said she thought Larry was just like totally the funniest because everyone knows Paigow just loves Larry and Paigow almost totally blew the secret conference because she busted out laughing and then fufu had to pretend that SHE was the one laughing, but PJ bought it even though they totally don't laugh the same and it was just like so hilarious and fufu's mom said the whole thing was like a Curb ep and when she said that, we just like almost totally died because we were r-o-f-l-ing our asses off.

Great. Next terrorist that packs explosives up his ass is really going to ruin the airline industry.

And yeah, what is the thing with the circling the airports? Oklahoma has already been done. No one's going to do that again. And isn't the greater threat from airplanes crashing into buildings? If I was going to blow up an airport, just walk in with a bunch of luggage - no one questions that. But idling your car for 5 minutes - no, that's someone's idea of a terrorist threat.

The New York airports have done this for years. I think it's more of a traffic issue than terrorist action precaution.

Thurgreed, you're too easy.

Edited to add: omigod, this post, and Burger's Nazi comment following, remind me of the Curb ep where Jeff called Larry from his car and didn't tell him he was on speaker and that Jeff's parents were there, and Larry called Cheryl "Hitler" ...

Most airports have. But they all seem to have become a lot more nazi about moving people along.

The other possibility is the sender cancelled the msg before you read it.

Well, at lunch I forgot I left myself logged in and I was logged out when I got back so I don't think it's a cookie thing. I deleted everything out of everything this morning and logged out, and it still said I had one message that was unread.

so, who is the MOTHERFUCKER who sent me a message and then deleted it before I got it? Is this ever going to go away? Or can people now, just to torture me, send me messages then instantly rescind them so that I will never know if I actually have new PMs or whether it's just some sicko bastard sending and rescinding.

On another note, I never knew that lanolin was sheep semen. I always thought it was some kind of oil-type stuff from the wool. Learn something new every day.

Circling has been around for a while - just much more strict recently. I can remember them being quite anal at San Diego several years prior to 9-11.

So immediately I am being subjected to the terrorist treatment - they make me take off my shoes, they swab my shoes, my luggage, my jacket, my cell phone, my pda blah blah blah.
So - next time - go naked. It'll save a lot of hassle.

That has been done and there is now an airline willing to cater to your interests:

Totally. You used to be able to sit and wait for your "passenger" to get their luggage off the stupid carousel. There was a lot of leeway and flexibility as long as you were actually sitting in the car. But ever since what's-his-name raised us to "situation orange" or whatever color we have, 2 minutes seems to be the limit at most airports. Hell, most airports have 5 or 6 lanes just for that sole purpose - they're being wasted now.

I just had an A-Ha moment. You coined TUAOM bc your despised ROTFLMAO starts off with something that lookins like ROLF which is a term for Throwing Up (or is it Ralf?).

And by the way, your little exchange reminds me of the time that Hello Kitty, or was it Babe of Pigs, got, like, really upset with me when I referred to her and her fellow cannot-decipher-these-posters-from-eachother as the "Initial People" bc, like, it was totally condescending. But admit it, they all were sort of personality less posters who were engaged and spoke of getting bikini waxes for the first time to make their fiances so happy or some girly bullshit like that. Though I do give Hello Kitty, excuse me, Mrs Hello Kitty, credit for turning me onto the Fresh strawberry scrub thing. That was her defining moment. But the Initial People are still IPs- like the gaggle of twenty something implant chicks on surivor each season. You cant really tell them apart until, like the very end if they havent been voted off, and they start recommending good facial scrubs.

ACKKK. I SO don't want to sit in a seat that some naked guy already sat in. Do they provide ass gaskets?

Edited to add...can there be anything more uncomfortable than being naked in a beach chair?

IAH has seemed to take on the "hands on a hardbody" approach to passenger pick up. If you can find a spot by the door that doesn't impede the flow of traffic, you can wait there as long as you need to so long as you stay in your car. When your party gets to you, you can get out and open the trunk, but the cop will ticket you in a heartbeat if you so much as consider going more than half a foot from your car for any reason. This has been pretty consistant before and after Sept. 11, including during orange alerts.

At National, you have two seconds. But the lanes are not being wasted; rather, they are being used for 15-mph "drag" races around and around and around and (oh, is that him? that's not him!) around the airport.

Uh, lanolin is extracted from fats and oils in wool. It's made from sheep semen only in the most roundabout way, by way of lambs and sheep as an intermediate product of the semen.

It's a great Internet rumor, though, if you're feeling particularly malicious today.

Funny you should mention that: this reminds me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry lied and told an acquaintance that he wasn't playing golf anymore but got caught by said acquaintance in a "golf outfit" of khakis and tucked in striped shirt. The funny part was that although Larry did lie to the acquaintance, on that day he was actually wearing the outfit because he decided he liked the way it looked, and when he said as much the acquaintance said, "come on, you expect me to believe that?"

Isn't he just the funniest?

Actually I've never seen it. But you make it sound very amusing.

So while (as always) what you say makes perfect sense, I have no idea WTF Thurgreed's babbling about.
