My legs flipped out from underneath me, and while I was in the air, I had the thought, 'This isn't going to end well.' "
Jenna sounds like one of us. And Zach Braff is pretty awsome for doing that.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Does anyone know if Southwest still does that cattle call seating?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yep. Well, on most flights. I know they're experimenting on a few others.

Does anyone know if Southwest still does that cattle call seating?
It's not really cattle call. You're broken into groups with letters assigned based on when you got your boarding pass (which you can get online like 24 hours before you fly).
Also, you still get to board earliest if you are traveling with little kids or have other mobility issues.
I love Southwest.

And, um, what are "fake-sign-language hands"?
I think that is what I do in the normal course of speaking - or at least I do according to juliana.
Does anyone know if Southwest still does that cattle call seating?
Yep, I've been using Southwest for my travel to Boise. Three lines - A, B, and C...basically the order your check in for your flight - which you can do from home, within 24 hours of flight time.

I need a 'where did I leave my motivation?'.com website. Or somebody with a cattleprod to wave at me.

I am laughing out loud here at work because of the "fake sign language hands" Jesse gave her boss! Did you talk really slowly, too?

That's a great book, Raq. Highly recommended!
Darn, The New Zealander just got eliminated on "jardiniere". She spelled it starting with a "g". I wonder if she tried to blame that one on the accent.
I just read that the accent caused some real confusion on that one as well. From the Bee Blog:
She was given the word jardinière. She asked about its origin and its definition. She was told a type of flowerpot.
She spelled it. The judges didn't do anything, and she smiled on stage because she knew what was coming. Paige Kimball, director the Bee, asked the AV folks to reply the tape.
They did, and Weir stood on stage. Nervous and crossing her arms. Yet still smiling.
When the tape was done, they still could not tell if she had spelled the word correctly or not. Weir's accent is very thick and yesterday we learned that in New Zealand the fifth letter of the alphabet "E" sounds more like the 1st letter of the alphabet, "A."
After a few moments of more deliberation, Kimball asked Weir to repeat the first letter.
When she did, they still could not tell what letter she was saying. So they asked her to give another word that began with the same letter.
She said Giraffe. Too bad she didn’t say Jason.
The bell immediately dinged. They were looking for a J.
The audience sighed, and she walked off stage.
