Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

That I won't argue.

Hmm, with my children? Might be a tossup. They'd be amused by the seats, and could play horsie. While after 10 hours in the car, I am usually just sort of murder-suicide.

(Yes, we will be flying ATL to BWI, and it's 1 hr 45 minutes in the air vs. a 12+ (hello, DC traffic!) hour drive.)

Hell, I'm still angry at airlines that charge you extra for headphones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was thinking about it, because I think I might find that seat OK for an hour. If it were cheap enough. I don't know -- I think I might rather actually stand than perch.

Ding ding ding. I'm fairly convinced this may be the primary motive behind them in the first place.

Yeah, they're saying "Look how bad it could be, now shut the fuck up and eat your stale, peanutless snack mix"

I am usually just sort of murder-suicide.

Sort of? That sounds like the kind of thing that you should be decisive about ;)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I flew first-class once. *That* was nice.

Those seats wont be approved by the FAA.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, and Happy International Day of Peace, everyone!

I will celebrate by not declaring war on anyone today.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm pretty certain that I would be too short for those "seats."

I avoid gluten and The Boy is a vegetarian. Cooking for us is annoying. We have a lot of stir-fry veggies w/rice, into which I throw a handful of chicken or shrimp or some other protein.

The cookbook Veganomicon has a lot of gluten-free recipes, and everything I've tried from that cookbook has been really good. I've also heard good things about The Gluten-Free Vegan [link] , but I've never actually read that one.
