yeah thats pretty good


I like Newark but that's just because i'm in and out constantly. Midway isn't bad, i've never had delay, but i've also gone through O'Hare with only like 2 delays in 40 flights so i might just be protected by spirits of dead aviation controllers. Atlanta is really lovely, but i'd say either DFW or Mumbai are my least favorite. Mumbai leaks, the lighting doesn't really work, layovers are frequently overnight, there's nothing resembling a real lounge, it smells bad even considering it's in Mumbai, and the bathrooms are pretty gross (again, even for Mumbai). It's simultaneously too bright and lacks any natural light so the whole thing feels like an interrogation chamber. An especially moldy interrogation chamber. DFW i just got harrassed for being a terrorist constantly and the layout is loving awful.

Kathmandu and Kalamazoo are just kind of cute mini-airports. I still remember Kathmandu pretty well even though i got weenie-mugged there.

e: Oh yea and Minneapolis-St Paul has a terrible loving layout but has better food options than almost anywhere else.

My favorite airport experience was a flight out of LaGuardia getting delayed for three hours. Not because our plane wasn't there, oh no. We were busy waiting for an entirely different plane to show up and for the stewardesses to transfer from it. I don't fly much though so maybe that's totally normal idk.

If they're made right, they're pretty delicious. It's fun to make them with like balsamic vinegar so they come out all really dark purple.

The only thing that I don't really like pickled are cucumbers. I love eggs and pigs feet and mushrooms and olives and sauerkraut, but never regular pickles. I don't particularly care for non-pickled cucumbers either, so that may be it.

e: I also just Googled "denver airport art" and it loving rocks. My local airport took down its art so it could put up more advertising. :(

Yeah, hard boil and peel the eggs then boil your brine, let it cool, and pour over the eggs. Leave 'em in the fridge for like a week or whatever and they are delicious. Pickled everything kicks rear end. Pickled artichokes, pickled garlic, pickled okra, pickled squash, pickled fennel, pickled green tomatoes, pickled green beans.

Seriously, just pickle everything.

As a horrible niccotine addict I always enjoyed Denver because they had the bar you could smoke in.

But if you want good airports, you have to go to Asia. Narita in Japan and Incheon in Korea are pretty awesome. And most Asian airports have smokers rooms so I don't start having withdrawls.

It never even occurred to me that I could pickle things myself. That sounds pretty easy. I always just assumed grandmas have a big cellar of pickles and preserves sitting there for years until they are aged enough and can be placed in a little fake crystal bowl at Christmas.

I just Googled "denver airport art" and the top result was a site about how it's all an Illuminati conspiracy!

quote:

Numerous irregularities have been reported regarding the construction of the site:

Different contractors have been hired for different parts of the airport. They’ve all been fired after their job was done. This lead observers to believe that it was a strategy to make sure nobody had the full scope of the project.

110 million cubic yards of earth have been moved, way more than usually required. This arose suspicion of construction taking place underground.

5300 miles of fiber optics were installed for communications (USA coast to coast is 3000 miles in comparison).

Fueling system that can pump 1000 gallons of jet fuel per minute. This amount is totally absurd for a commercial airport.

Granite imported from all over the world even if the project was already grossly over budget.

Construction of a huge tunnel system (trucks can circulate in them) and underground trains. Most of those aren’t used at the moment.

Analysis of the data available makes me reach at least one conclusion: this gigantic structure will eventually become much more than a regular commercial airport. It has the capacity to handle a huge amount of people and vehicles, leading observers to think that the structure might be used as military base and others even add that it will be used as a civilian concentration camp in the near future.

MSP is on my shitlist forever because I had about an hour to make an international connection there, and was only saved by the outbound flight being 15 minutes late. You have to get all your luggage, clear customs, and get re-screened by security, and evidently they thought no more than about 50 people would ever need to do this at once. They were wrong.

The only seat left on the bus when I got on this afternoon was a tiny gap between two rather large women. I squeezed in, and it was like sitting between a couple of warm bean bag chairs... I was so comfortable I nearly dozed off and missed my stop. I may have to stop posting in the Awkward/Ugly thread.

This happened to me on a flight from Seattle to Copenhagen once. This woman's side parts began to encroach across the armrest immediately. We basically shared sweat like two lovers lying side by side for ten hours but the seatback entertainment plus the wonderful flight attendants of Lufthansa keeping me in a steady supply of drinks made it pretty bearable.

This is the 'missed connections' section of craigslist.com, right? Because baby I miss your hot rolls.

If it weren't for the sweat and losing your armrests, sitting next to fat people would be pretty awesome on a plane. It would be like sleeping in a giant, warm marshmallow floating through the skies like the star of a Beatles song. I'll take that over boney mcbonerson and his elbows of doom.
