Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ironic that he chose to say it with poo.

At least he didn't fling it at you.

And of course, someone beat me to this comment.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Gotta love the TSA. I'm at the same airport I was at last week. Same security line, same security folks, same items in my bag. I removed the MacBook Air this time since I got chastised last time and left my iPad in the bag, exactly as had been done on the rescreening last week. This time I get chided for not removing the iPad. It's been a long while since that's been pulled for screening. They even asked, based on the xray, if it was an iPad inside before the removed and rescreened.

I just ask, VERY NICELY, if we are taking x, y or z out today. The answer changes. I just go with it.

Great minds...

Also a policy I usually use. Of course at MCO I got yelled at for not listening to them when I did that and for holding up the line. Basically I'm traveling enough that I'm going to run into problematic TSA officers no matter what I do.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They actually pulled me after the metal detector and swabbed my hands, that was a first.

... because of the explosive residue from your iPad?

Who knows, could have been the explosive residue from Kaylee's kibble.

Even I travel enough that sometimes, yeah, it's just going to be pear-shaped. Still annoying when it happens but it's going to happen.

I don't fly again for a week. ~~jig~~

They always swab my hands and leg braces. Apparently they think my disability is an elaborate ruse.

Always Anti-fascist!

Go on, admit it, you're Parker. Cute, spunky, a little off, you even live in New England. I have to say, over thirty years shows a serious commitment to the long con, though. Kudos.

My dad's actually happy about the new scanners because he's been getting the third degree over his artificial knee forever. Despite a long obvious scar and documentation from the VA. As he puts it, "Who knows what evil lurks in the knees of men?"
