Was disappointed to find this thread locked a while back.
Glad to see it back and unlocked.
It's a silly and fun thread. Some times that's just what is needed to take the edge off a day.
And I'm still in it to win it!
Happy Zyzzyvas!

Come on Mike, ya'll is going to have to get up earlier than that.
Not only was I up earlier than that, my daughter and I flew to Chicago and back and drove back from Omaha before I could post anything. Long day. Dental work through Shiriners for my daughter is why we go to Chicago. This was supposed to be the last appointment in what has been a 20 year project. Well, some things didn't work as they hoped they would at this appointment so we have additional appointments to go to so they can redo some teeth related items. Day was a little disappointing in that regard. Anyway, drove down to Omaha the night before, hopped on a morning flight to Chicago's Midway airport, catch the Orange line train (EL) to downtown, transfer to the Pink line at the loop, and get off at the Polk station which happens to be directly across the street from the Dr's office. Works really well. Reverse it to get back. While at Midway, I was gratified to see the TSA at the airport keeping us safe from the Bingo ladies. Public frisking of Grandma. Wow, really? |

I have had a couple of encounters with the TSA a**holes.
Last encounter, I had my granddaughter, 5 year old with me, grandma had the other one with her. Put granddaughter through the scanner, she passed, told her to wait for me, but she didn't hear me with all the chit chat going on. So she walked on down the aisle without me as I couldn't get through the damn scanner. Ended up it was my suspenders metal tab that was setting it off.
Granddaughter is getting further down the aisle, finally I told the guy, let me retrieve my granddaughter and then we can stand here and piss around all day or until the flight leaves, which ever comes first. Pissed him off and I got the full go through. Thank God the granddaughter realized grandpa wasn't with her and she came screaming back up the aisle. Grandma had gotten through on the other side, and she tried to retrieve the younger one as she flew by her. I've seen my wife mad, but not as mad as she was at the TSA operators.
On the flight home, we put the grandkids behind us just in case we had a problem. Wore the same damn suspenders and passed without a hitch on the other end ready to fly home. We had to change planes in Chi Town, and yup, you got it, we had to do the scanners again to get on the plane for a flight home. Kind of stupid in my book. We hadn't been anywhere except on their firkin plane. I guess they thought we would pick up a package on the floor somewhere.
I told grandma, if we go anywhere again, except to Hawaii, we will drive. I don't mind being scanned, but Geez Louise, let's be realistic about it. A little authority has gone to their head.
Kind of like when we got new officers out of the Academy. In LA Proper Area it didn't take too long to get that authority trimmed down, where you could stand to be around them, and for us to trust them to cover our back while we had theirs..

I've had issues where I got separated from my personal belongings (watch, iPhone, computer, wallet, etc.) which were at the end of the belt while they were playing around with me.  I wondered at that time what would happen if traveling with small children, and they got through while I did not. I guess it happened to you RJ. Sad part is that if you followed your instincts and went after the youngster, one of these cowboys from the TSA could make your life really miserable at that point. Sad, what a waste of money this has become, while we are powerless to do anything about it.  |

I herd cats. A herd of cats is called a "clowder". But I don't think they would make a good Chowder. Unless the cats were clammy. But even then I'd use real clams for the chowder.
In fact I'd bet a big bowl of Clammy Chowder would keep a clowder good and happy!

Speaking of TSA, our International Airport, scanned a lady coming through customs. They found a bunch of cocaine, shoved in her unmentionable. Jez, I wouldn't care for that in no way shape or form.
She is currently in jail with a million $$$ bail, cash only.
So, I'd say she might be there for a while.

Any one get any wind in their face today?
I wanted to try, but the grass needed cut.
Well, that is what the box told me, and with her having a Birthday coming up, I figured I'd better listen.
She ain't too happy with the # this time. She thinks she is old, told her she would play hell catching me unless I croak.
