O_O is this something that men do frequently? "Hey bro, here's a picture of ******************. I figured that as men, we could share this pornographic image and appreciate it together. Pretty cool, huh?"

When I worked at the airport, one of the guys from another airline used to show me porn on his Sidekick. Some of the nastiest women you could find. He had interesting tastes...

[linnea]

Swapping porn on a plane?  Why don't these boys just set their game systems aside and have sex with each other?  Have you suggested this to them?  I mean if they like Limp Bizkit they're already half way there anyway.

That is EXACTLY what they should do. Any port in a storm, right?

Heh. CAN'D.

[side_show]

Having spent nearly 36 consecutive hours on a plane, I can honestly say I'd rather watch Limp Bizkit fans have sex than the Muslim-friendly version of the Da Vinci Code.

[pmcd9]

Do Limp Bizkit fans actually exist?

[JorgeFabregas]

I think they died out. In the fire. They're moved on to other pastures.

Or are you confusing them with Great White fans?

The attendants don't react as positively to this sort of behavior as you might assume. Do not ask how I know this.

The walls of the lavatory are thinner than you might suspect?

I probably won't get an iPhone because my face is greasy and I don't like to subject electronic devices to that sort of thing. Also because I refuse to buy any modern Apple product ever.

Also because I refuse to buy any modern Apple product ever.

Why is this?  I used to be a rabid anti-Mac type until they put Unix under the hood, then I began coveting the Mac.  I hear that their quality control is less than perfect, hardware wise, and they're certainly not cheap, but I'm pretty certain my next machine will be a Mac.  Why the hate?  (Specifically, why the hate for Modern Macs?  Were they better back in the day?)

[nDed]

Why the hate?

Because, quite frankly, the effects of Apple fanboyism frighten me. I have nothing against their products, but the way they are marketed as something almost akin to a spiritual experience kind of creeps me out. Besides, Apple fans need me as much as they need their precious iPods. I am the eternally ignorant Windoze boor whose refusal to switch allow them to maintain their special, unique and creative iLives.

That is so noble.

I think about getting a Mac all the time, whenever the computer freezes up and I have to reboot and I lose track of what I had in the sixteen browser windows I had open.  The Technical Staff seems to think it's perfectly reasonable to have to reboot occassionally.  I say it's like if someone came into your office every couple of days and swept everything on your desk on to the floor.

But, I think it's just too late in life for such a fundamental change. Looking back I should have changed computers when I changed careers but I didn't and now I'm in too deep all over again.

[nDed]

May I ask what your new career is?

[wombat]

May I ask what your new career is?

I write stuff. Also a lot of looking stuff up on the Internet so I know who to call on the phone is involved.  And email.

I wrote stuff before too, but now it's different stuff.  So there was a point at which if I'd lost access to all my old files it wouldn't have mattered.

The thing is also, I have this whole Technical Staff at home and he doesn't do Macs.  Sometimes we have a conversation about how one of his computers runs Linux and I ask why I can't have one of those... but somehow this conversation never goes anywhere that I can remember. Maybe I black out, I don't know.

This happens to me when I start trying to become a Linux user.  One moment I'm installing the latest Red Hat distribution on a freshly formatted hard drive partition, and the next I'm sitting in the rain on the side of the road outside Portland picking gravel out of my skin and wearing a torn dress.
