I love air travel

I never recline my seat as I appreciate how little space other passengers have to exist in without the back of my seat hitting them in the chin.

Today, the flight attendant announced that as we taxi to the gate, please remain seated so our service men returning from Iraq can be more quickly reunited with their families. A warm, loud, long applause erupted. When the plane stopped and the lights came on, every single person in the plane stood up and filled the aisles. Seriously, I am up with people.

I advocate that you cannot fly without a professional flight status - a license if you will. This will keep professional travelers happier, weeding out the old, weak, grotesquely obese and stupid travelers. They can all fly on Southwest Air.

Election Check In...

Electoral map has McCain surrounded by a growing tide of pink and baby blue...Sarah Palin still looks hot in a black suit.

If McRage somehow wins this election, I think you're going to see a massive cultural divide in this country as the economy will completely dive off the cliff in despair.

This is your brain....this is your brain after two days of marathon meetings

Spidey-Fat

Here it is.

Liam wears his red spider man suit every other day. With Halloween fast approaching, we went to a costume store to check out some Halloween decorum. He spies the Adult red spider man outfit on the rack. Then he insists that I purchase and wear said costume so we can "match" on Halloween.

Realizing I really had no choice I bought the costume, which was my size. I go home to try it on and it rips in 5 places. I couldn't zip it up in back. I had all the muscle bulges all right, but they were in the wrong places.

I have become Spidey fat.

Liam wanted me to go get a size bigger so the next day I go back to the store and ask if they have the next size up. "I'm sorry, sir, this is an adult one size fits all. I'll see if they have a 'plus' size."

A plus size. Jesus, do they make "queen sized" super hero leotards? I'm too fucking fat to wear a one size fits all spider man costume for adults. Even if I was able to repair it and somehow squeeze into it, my body just wouldn't work in that suit. I am...ah...inseam challenged, you could say. Its hard for normal pants to fit me let alone this skin tight web covered pair of tights.

As I tried it on again, Jen said I would have to wear some Spidey shorts over the top of the outfit otherwise I would be "Boogie Nights Spider Man." She was right, me wearing the costume was wrong. Just wrong. I looked like a super hero Ron Jeremy auditioning for some bizarre Czech snuff film.

So, i got a Racer X costume for me and the boy. This fits and i can rest assured that I won't scare small children.
