Buffistas

Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Did anyone else's checked bags get TSA-searched? I found a nice little "We have searched your bag" notice underneath the first layer. I hadn't even noticed that the tell-tale on the lock had been tripped

No, but I did find out on my trip back from Seattle that a CPAP is a highly dangerous device that needs a special scan and needs to be re-run through the x-ray (insert ironic quotes as needed). I guess this isn't the case going from Boston to Seattle since they didn't mention it or remotely look twice at my baggage. I suspect the luggage check was part of the reason I completely lost track of Brenda and Sail at the terminal.

Our wings are not tired

CPAP devices are listed at most of the airports I fly through as items that must be removed from carryon baggage the same as laptops, full size video game consoles, and tape based video cameras.

I just might spend too much time clearing security.

My bag is still on the floor, mostly packed.

Omnis's bag is my bag.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

What about money clips? My money clip slowed me down. They had to go through my little butt-bag, take out the money clip (hand me my cash, but not credit cards) and rescan it. Yes, it prevented me from buying water/burger before getting on the plane, as it was I missed pre-boarding. No, what makes you think I'm bitter about it?

Omnis's bag is my bag.

You have a tux too? Crap. That was 42.2 pounds. Fed Ex will love me.

My bag got searched by TSA on the way to Seattle. I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time overall it's happened to me in the past four/five years and I take on average one plane trip a year, which isn't a lot. But, I've no idea how many bags out of any flight get searched, so I don't know if that number is normal or if they're out to get me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Aaaand for his next movie, I'm seeing a charming goth heroine with a top hat and stripey tights accompanied by a fanged bunny...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Wouldn't it be a cartoon about a fanged bunny and his stripey top-hatted minion?

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, I believe that Laga has it right.

Perhaps it will be about a big-eyed Lily Bean and her adventures with a fanged bunny and his stripey top-hatted minion.

This cartoon is now running in my head in every shade of pink & black.
