    just stick me in an overhead bin and I'm good.

    I'll eat muffins and drop crumbs on everybody...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I'll have to do it when he's sleeping...I'll put some glitter in it so it explodes all over the place when it hits him. :lol:

    Sing some Deftones song really loudly when you do it.

    I'll be sure to have the airline attendant put The Breakfast Club on as the In-Flight Movie too...

    I always think about my flight to Myrtle Beach years ago.. I am 6'2 , 210 carry it well.. I picked the emergency exit wing row for the leg room.. Upon arriving to my seat, I discovered that the 6 largest people on the fucking plane would be sitting in this row.. I was in the middle of two huge dudes, bigger than me.. The attendant walked by when the 6th guy sat. "you boys need to break it up".. thank god!!!! wound up sitting next to 2 normal size people in the back and was much more comfortable

    In Chicago right now waiting for my next flight. Heard some wheelchair pusher's Walkie Talkie say "Jimenez, we need two large chairs at gate H12." A couple minutes later two guys (I'm assuming one was Jimenez) pushing extra wide wheelchairs comes walking by. Yep, first class comes off then two morbidly obese individuals come up the ramp. I hope they tip Jimenez because that's some serious pushin'! :lol:
    I got to thinking, if they need extra wide wheelchairs... :problem: :think:
    I'm not sure the two of them could have shared three seats. :shock:

    crass is worse than fat ass...
    maybe a tax for the thoughtless...
    nothing worse than being next to some guy cooler than cool,
    yaking away about people thinking his shit don't stink...
    all the time stinking of bad breath.
    Give me a fattie anyday. And I'm a bit of a fattie myself and use that word
    with much respect and pride :D
    everybody's got something wrong with them and some of these things are really important
    and some are not.

    It's a good point. I'd rather have some large person's arm and leg pressing against me than some obnoxious jackass talking my ear off all flight. But either way, I'm just going to think, "Oh damn," and deal with it for a few hours. Not that big a deal. Just have another drink. And honestly, I don't hate very large people for being obese, so they really don't bug me. They are probably more uncomfortable than they're ever going to make me feel. Seats on planes should be bigger.

    approach the dudes & tell them how you feel & continue on about how you feel they are lazy & taking advantage of the system.

    maybe I should have not told you, and left it as a surprise...kinda like the toy at the bottom of the cereal box.
