so, who is the MOTHERFUCKER who sent me a message and then deleted it before I got it? Is this ever going to go away? Or can people now, just to torture me, send me messages then instantly rescind them so that I will never know if I actually have new PMs or whether it's just some sicko bastard sending and rescinding.

On another note, I never knew that lanolin was sheep semen. I always thought it was some kind of oil-type stuff from the wool. Learn something new every day.

And yeah, what is the thing with the circling the airports? Oklahoma has already been done. No one's going to do that again. And isn't the greater threat from airplanes crashing into buildings? If I was going to blow up an airport, just walk in with a bunch of luggage - no one questions that. But idling your car for 5 minutes - no, that's someone's idea of a terrorist threat.
Circling has been around for a while - just much more strict recently. I can remember them being quite anal at San Diego several years prior to 9-11.

Totally. You used to be able to sit and wait for your "passenger" to get their luggage off the stupid carousel. There was a lot of leeway and flexibility as long as you were actually sitting in the car. But ever since what's-his-name raised us to "situation orange" or whatever color we have, 2 minutes seems to be the limit at most airports. Hell, most airports have 5 or 6 lanes just for that sole purpose - they're being wasted now.

I just had an A-Ha moment. You coined TUAOM bc your despised ROTFLMAO starts off with something that lookins like ROLF which is a term for Throwing Up (or is it Ralf?).

And by the way, your little exchange reminds me of the time that Hello Kitty, or was it Babe of Pigs, got, like, really upset with me when I referred to her and her fellow cannot-decipher-these-posters-from-eachother as the "Initial People" bc, like, it was totally condescending. But admit it, they all were sort of personality less posters who were engaged and spoke of getting bikini waxes for the first time to make their fiances so happy or some girly bullshit like that. Though I do give Hello Kitty, excuse me, Mrs Hello Kitty, credit for turning me onto the Fresh strawberry scrub thing. That was her defining moment. But the Initial People are still IPs- like the gaggle of twenty something implant chicks on surivor each season. You cant really tell them apart until, like the very end if they havent been voted off, and they start recommending good facial scrubs.

IAH has seemed to take on the "hands on a hardbody" approach to passenger pick up. If you can find a spot by the door that doesn't impede the flow of traffic, you can wait there as long as you need to so long as you stay in your car. When your party gets to you, you can get out and open the trunk, but the cop will ticket you in a heartbeat if you so much as consider going more than half a foot from your car for any reason. This has been pretty consistant before and after Sept. 11, including during orange alerts.

At National, you have two seconds. But the lanes are not being wasted; rather, they are being used for 15-mph "drag" races around and around and around and (oh, is that him? that's not him!) around the airport.

Uh, lanolin is extracted from fats and oils in wool. It's made from sheep semen only in the most roundabout way, by way of lambs and sheep as an intermediate product of the semen.

It's a great Internet rumor, though, if you're feeling particularly malicious today.

I thought Rolfing was some kind of super-intense massage that the more masculine metrosexuals are particularly fond of.

Maybe when they massage your stomach really hard, it makes you barf.

Hopefully they change the seat coverings every so often - as well as the blankets.

I feel badly for the poor flight attendants that get to work that flight.

I know. I figured someone will figure it out anyway, and now they will know they are not that smart because I knew it was going to happen. This will deter the smarter people. Probably. Or maybe just the actually sadistic people, but not the pranksters. People who do it after I've talked about it are just pathetic. Perhaps pathetic pranksters, but perceptibly pathetic.

There are two kinds of cookies.

There is the cookie that keeps you logged in, if you have checked it in your preferences. That is what logs you out automatically after a time if you don't do anything on the site and/or keeps you logged in so every time you return you don't need to log in again. That is the one you are talking about above.

The other cookie is the one that keeps track of how long you have actually been on the site, that expires every 2000 seconds. A new one is put in when the old one expires while you are on the site. It also will continue to countdown when you leave the site, so if you come back in 1999 seconds it will still say you have a new PM (but it should not say it is unread) and it would likely still have the posts you have already read marked as new. 1 second later and the cookie will reset itself.

All that said, someone probably sent you a message and deleted it.

It should yes. I'll take a look at it for you though. Do you have any PMs you are saving? I can reset your box for you, but the only way I can do that is to empty it. I can't read your PMs so I can't selectively remove things for you.

White guy who has never been stopped for no reason: "What? Me? Why would you need to...HEY!"

Security: "Sir, please lift your arms."

White guy who has never been falsely accused of anything: "But I'm not a...do you need to touch me there...exCUSE me!"

Security: "If you're not going to cooperate, sir, this is going to take much longer than it should."

White guy who has never been hassled by the cops: "I have a flight to catch. I am not a criminal or a terrorist."

Security: "Take off your shoes."

White guy who thinks black people exaggerate their profiling stories: "This is RIDICulous! People shouldn't be treated this way. I've a good mind to...Where are you going?"

Security: "Can you empty your bag?"

White guy who is in favor of racial profiling: "Now see here...there is nothing in my bag. Let me talk to your supervisor. This is a major invasion of my privacy!"

Wrongo. While I am worshipped by Thurgreed, you guys havent earned his respect yet. I imagine his respect may be earned by either making him

-ROTFLHAO,
-TUAOH,
-you effecitvely put the smack down on him,
public displays of sluttiness in his presence or maybe one degree of separation from him (ie you bang Less and Less relays impressive details) ,
-or proof of an interracial relationship.

Now, I have done the first three and the last one. Plus I periodically profess my love for James Blake, who is Halle Berry black. I suspect you guys havent done any of these yet though I cannot be certain. Therefore, he was mocking you guys in a way you wouldnt quite get- he was basically saying you were doing my I heart Larry thing. Meaning, 1) paigow has already been there and beat it to death and 2) you havent been around long enough to know this and/0r 3) you have no sense of what is dead horse or at least staked out territory that cannot be done in a more enterataining manner than it has already been done, and thus, will bore him. Also, he was mocking your longuylandish "like totally, he is the best" language, which is basically the equivalent of a LOL bc it really adds nothing to the board (for TM of course).

Any questions?

If you blow through these posts too quickly, you end up wondering just how fringey's PMS has become a topic of conversation, and then you get too scared to go back and check.
