P'eeved woman sitting next to Greg - Most people know that if you are sitting in row 25 of a full plane it will most likely take longer than 5 minutes for the people in front of you to get off the plane. This knowledge was apparently lost on the woman sitting next to Greg as she proceeded to drop F bombs and other snarky comments. She did this while being surrounded by children. Call me conservative all you want but swearing in front of little children is not cool.
People who rip on Katy Perry - What is not to like? Unique voice, check. Pretty face, check. Large, glorious, natural breasts, check check and check. Off topic but what would the over/under be for the number of times Hot n Cold will be used in movie trailers? 558?
Drunk Greg - About 7 ounces of rum/tequila and one beer made Greg do the following: profess his love for Aaron Rowand 14 times, become a die hard San Fransisco Giants fan, lead Giants cheers, use the word highlight 312 times in one hour, and do things so vile at the Candy Shoppe they can't even be written here.
Man watching Bridges of Madison County on his Mac - While I had hoped that the emasculation of men hadn't reached people my dad's age, I was sadly proven wrong on my flight home. Sadly I witnessed a balding man in his mid 50's wearing those trendy thicker framed glasses rip out his 17 inch screen Mac and proceed to watch Bridges of Madison County. Is no man safe from our society's path to compete and total emasculation?
Guy wearing a Roger Clemens WBC jersey - First of all what you wear to the airport is probably only behind what you wear to a funeral or interview in terms of importance. You are going to be seen by thousands of people and chances are you may run into someone you know. So this guy decided that a Clemens WBC jersey is what he wanted people to see him wearing? The only possible excuse was that he was changing flights from Vegas and that jersey was all he had to wear.

1. Swearing in front of children is a-ok, and yes, you are old-fashioned for not thinking so. If they're old enough to understand what the swear means, then they should be mature enough to deal with it. If they don't know what the swear means, then who cares? It might as well be gibberish to them.
2. People who dress up to go to the airport are retarded. If you're going to be crammed into a tiny seat for hours on end, you should dress to minimize discomfort. I accept that there are probably some people we all know who are petty enough to judge you if they saw you dressed in jeans and a t-shirt (or even a baseball jersey) at the airport. Truly, they are the people who should not be allowed to vote because:
(A) They are too stupid to realize that dressing up for anything is an arbitrary social convention not to be followed for its own sake. There are some occasions where you should just play along in our absurd little society out of respect for others, like at a funeral or maybe an important work function. But most of the time, dressing up is not rationally justifiable, and harkens back to the old days--the dark days--when we would judge a person for the clothes he wore instead of the person he was.
(B) If the judger at the airport is not too stupid to realize this, then he is just too vain or weak to abide by what he knows to be right. Such vanity and weakness is worthy not of good-natured, mild protestations, but of scorn and condemnation.
I totally agree with Gene on the dressing up (as I'm sure you've heard me proclaim before).
Sidenote - Gene and I were once leaving his house to catch a flight to L.A. early in the morn and he was wearing a worn out t-shirt and jeans. For some reason, totally unlike me, I was actually wearing a collared shirt this day. This worked out very well for me b/c I had the opportunity of listening to Gene's parent bitch him out for not dressing better and using me as an example of how to dress for flying. I could not have disagreed with them more, but why would I make that known when Gene was getting totally bitched by his parents. The best was when his Dad called Gene a "Jack-Ass" for not dressing properly and Gene said, "OK, Well if the plane goes down then I hope this is how you wanted to last speak to me." We then left. It was absolutely HI-LAR-I-OUS!
First that alcohol was consumed within an hour. Second i had pregamed with a few beers as well. aaron rowand is a badass so no shame in cheering for him there. I even got a half salute from him acknowledging my greatness.
I agree the highlight comments may have gotten out of hand but grounds for losing voting privileges, i think not.
Tom however you not coming to the candy shop and building a chair barricade was very weak sauce.
and a side-note gene swearing in front of children is classless. i cant believe you would try to defend that bitch.
however the dressing up for the airport i totally agree with. traveling in sweatpants/gymshorts and a hoodie is excellent travel attire unless you are getting off the plane and goin to a business meeting.
final side note, the "M" story was hilarious. wish i could witness one of these gene getting owned by his parents in some sort of pointless arguement.
OB - I didn't say she had a great voice just that it is unique and I like it.
Gene - Gene just because a child recognizes a swear doesn't mean they understand it. If a child can recognize people having sex is it ok for it to watch porn? Also most of the children weren't old enough to recognize it but I'm sure their parents didn't want them exposed to it.
Madeline - My ass you "happened" to be wearing a collared shirt. Girls plan out every outfit of their lives, nothing is chance.
Greg - First Greg, its a chair armada. Secondly, if you are sober at the voting polls than you may vote.
I'm not Madeline douche nozzle.
Mark Haney why don't you use your real name then?
Confusion like this would not be caused.
They're just words, guys. "Class" has nothing to do with it. Swear words are meaningless in front of small children, so they can't do any damage. A parent can just tell their child not to repeat the words, and that's the end of the matter.
If you were visiting some foreign land, and one of the natives said "blork" and then all the other natives freaked out because that is a swear in their language, could you honestly say you were offended or damaged? Of course not, because you have no idea what the natives are talking about. You would note to yourself not to say "blork" in front of natives, and move on with your life unharmed. This is true even if "blork" denotes something so appalling that it would permanently scar you if you knew what it was in the particular.
Exposing children to pornography is different because, while kids don't understand the full import of what is going on onscreen, they may be subtly influenced by having witnessed it. Because small kids can never experience pornography in the abstract, their ignorance of what it is cannot be maintained. On the other hand, just saying "pornography" in front of a child is also completely harmless.
Ah how I yearn for the days when air travel was a gentleman's pursuit, before every Joe Sixpack could wedge himself behind a traytable and jet off to Raleigh-Durham.
Dressing up for flying is a must, particularly if by wearing jeans you violate the employee pass dresscode are disqualified from the first class cabin and end up stranded in Atlanta. It sucks.
