wildblue 7 #1 July 24, 2004 Last time I flew, it was at like 7am, I figured getting there about an hour to an hour and a half would be fine. Wrong - took like 45 minutes to get through security (ask Lew ) But at least there were two cool people (not to mention terribly attractive) to pass the time with. So this time, I got here two hours early - of course, I was first in line to check in and first in line through security... so here I sit by myself, drinking a $3 cup of coffee, and bored out of my mind. I need someone to entertain me please - good looks are optional.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's no doubt busy slapping asses, scoping out who's got the best stash of beer for tonight, and lining up her supplier (Aimee) of Hot Sex ... mmmm...

peacefuljeffrey 0 #7 July 25, 2004 Quote... so here I sit by myself, drinking a $3 cup of coffee, and bored out of my mind. Why not play a game? Make a list of all the things that you could have done with that $3 that would have been more satisfying or productive. Honestly, I assume that you mention the $3 in the sense you find it to be exorbitant, otherwise why mention the price at all. But you paid it. Why do you think they charge that much? Because people pay it. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #9 July 25, 2004 QuoteYeah.......nothing like having a captive audience was pretty wierd but last timei flew i managed to get a two sandwiches, two pudding cups, a bag of chips and a 20 oz coke through security withought them asking any questions..... was prettys tasety on my flight as the 3 oz of coke i got with my 5oz of ice really didn't do anything for me.... i think they weren't worrying about my food or drink but looking at my rig.. i think they thought.. "who is this guy with the parachute...... and do you think he will gve us one of his pudding cups.... naw they thought, we better let him go through.. we'll even let him keep his metal spoon he brought..."... so that's my story... and WB.. i hear ya .. some times it's like 5 seconds to check in and go through security and others it's like 5 hours........... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #10 July 25, 2004 ONe of our discout airlines here called Virgin Blue, encourages you to bing your own food and drink. They don't "provide" anything other than a seat on the airline. They will however "SELL" food and drink to you if you didn't bring your ownYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

wildblue 7 #11 July 25, 2004 Yeah, usually I take coffee with me (security just asks you to take a drink of it) I just didn't this time. And trhe $3 coffee was pretty good - it was a mocha-something-or-other. BTW - they have ATL torn all sorts of up. What a mess.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
