Fly naked on nudist holiday flight

The 55 passengers will have to remain clothed until they board, and dress before disembarking, said Hess. The crew will remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.

What exactly are those "safety reasons"? My first thought is "penis caught in the control column."

Oh, all Airbus airliners use joysticks instead of control columns. Maybe there'd be a risk of someone grabbing the wrong joystick?

I'm no expert, tommyrot. But just at a guess, if safety rules require crew to carry any equipment at all times, something with pockets would be needed.

Here's the update on Crazy Things That Happen in My Neighborhood While I'm at Work:

I was just coming to post that. heh.

I'm so glad I didn't leave the computer until I read Jilli's interview (and, not surprisingly, I'm with everybody here who thinks Jilli is so very cool).

Also, before I leave the computer for the weekend, according to Topic!Cindy "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Feb 1, 2006 1:02:15 pm PST I wanna send early wishes to Olivia and her mom (and older brother) for her birthday tomorrow, and wish her a great year.

Have good Fridays and lovely weekends, everybody.

I'm feeling like an idiot because my voter registration isn't going to be processed in time to vote on Tuesday. (I was told Feb 1 was the deadline, but it turns out that was just for a move from one county of AR to another.) Theoretically there's a chance that I could still vote by absentee ballot in TN, but that would require the Shelby County Clerk to send me an absentee ballot within 3 business days. Given that it took me a year of trying to get a copy of my car title from these people, I think I'm just going to have to accept having no influence on the Clinton/Obama decision.

What exactly are those "safety reasons"? My first thought is "penis caught in the control column."

and are they going to scrub the seats after they disembark?

Thank you, Nilly! She's a very big girl now (although still wee) and with a bad haircut courtesy of me.

Guys,

Can you remind me (again) that I can do this therapy thing, and send some general ~ma in my direction?

This is news to me (but I don't hang out on MySpace):

MySpace: No place for Atheists?

Cleveland, OH.— Social networking site, MySpace.com, panders to religious intolerants by deleting atheist users, groups and content.

Early this month, MySpace again deleted the Atheist and Agnostic Group (35,000 members). This deletion, due largely to complaints from people who find atheism offensive, marks the second time MySpace has cancelled the group since November 2007.

..

“MySpace refuses to undelete the group, although it never violated any terms of service,” said Bryan Pesta, Ph.D., the group’s moderator. “When the largest Christian group was hacked, MySpace’s Founder, Tom Anderson, personally restored the group, and promised to protect it from future deletions.”
