It was harder to get into the Skydome this weekend then it was to get back into the United States.

I was thoroughly frisked going into the Bears game, including my package being grabbed.

At Pearson International, I left my computer and liquids in my bag, and they did nothing.

Sickening. Roll of the dice every time you step onboard.

No it isn't you loon.

People that are afraid of flying freak me out. My only issue with flying is that planes are not fat guy compliant, and having to have things that are fat guy compliant is kinda my problem, not theirs.

Flying is no different then driving, with a little more aggressive rollar coaster type action when taking off and landing.

You do have a better chance of meeting some ladies at the airport versus the highway.

I didn't realize when you drive you have to worry about the plane blowing up b/c of a printer cartridge from Yemen is in your back seat. But believe what you'd like.
