NOT MAKING THIS UP!!!
Hubby and I were just about to board Southwest Flight 160 from Hartford CT to Nashville last Saturday. Next thing we knew The Goron was in the gate area having his bags checked, being wanded, and then (of course) being hustled to the front of the line so he could be seated on the plane ahead of the people in wheelchairs.
Our reactions: astonishment, loud laughter, and then marvel at how nervous and self-conscious he seemed. Hubby and I settled into quiet joking and insults between the two of us--although hubby said The Goron gave him a long stare while he was being wanded--hubby glared right back at him until he looked away (LOL).
We had to walk by The Goron to get seated in the back. The Goron and his lackey toook up all 6 seats at the very front right side of the plane. (Didn't know Southwest had First Class Seating--LOL). As everyone passed by, no one spoke to The Goron either positively or negatively--we all basically ignored him, which was a little strange, now that I think about it. The Goron held up a newspaper in front of his face & pretended to read it the whole time--but he was turning the pages every five seconds and he kept one eyeball uncovered so he could look over each passenger as they walked by. It was a really wierd thing to watch.
I have to say, I actually had no desire to even make a joking snide comment as I passed by The Goron. The overall impression he made on me was that he's just another loser with a capital L , desperately wanting to be someone important, at the same time projecting no self-confidence. I actually felt sorry for him at the time.
During the two-hour flight the Goron got up a couple of times to use the lavatory (must have been drinking ice tea--LOL!!!). When the plane landed, he grabbed his lock-box and was the first guy off the plane (of course).
Hubby and I are still laughing about this. Talk about wierd karma............
He is a democrat. He would never try to subdue the attacker. He would question whether there was sufficient evidence that the alleged perpetrator was in fact a terrorist. He would need proof before taking any action. And who is to say that there was any sort of terrorist threat. Maybe it is a republican ploy to distract attention from the economy.
Being a democrat means never having to say, "let's roll."
He must be sitting there thinking the whole time,
" I got more votes, why I'm I hogging (pun intended) six seats on this crappy plane instead of riding on AF One?"
It would have to give one a complex, and AlGore didn't need one more of those.
Whether or not you like Mr. Gore's politics, he's a human being.
I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION!!!
Ah ... what the hell, here goes.
He's an X-VP and he's OK
Sleeps all night, and works all day.
He guards our trees,
He eats tofu,
He's the model for Luv-Sto-Ree.
On off years he goes stumping,
Getting loot for the DNC!
He's an X-VP and he's OK
Sleeps all night, and works all day.
He flies Southwest,
Stares fliers down,
Then goes to the lav-a-tree.
When he goes home to Tipper,
He's an Alpha Male, you see!
He's an X-VP and he's OK
Sleeps all night, and works all day.
With apologies to the Pythons. Please feel free to add on:
Now you're making me feel bad! You're being mean to me and I'm going to tell and then you'll be in trouble and you'll be sorry but it'll be too late!
Nyah Nyah Nyah! Neener neener NEEner! 1 spark is a wiener!
He's like a tree
He wears high heels
Suspenders and a bra
He wishes he'd been a girlie
Just like his dear PaPa
Here's a guy who receives big bucks from his father's dealing with Commie Armand Hammer flying on the super cheap! Plus a VP and legislature pension!
No campaign $$ left? 1 goon suggests he may not be getting SS protection.
Somebody please ask JimRob to ban mason123 and restore OKCSubmariner.
Congratulations.
It is a good thing it is a slow news day.
(By the way, are you really Mr.Gore?)
"...the extra chromosome right wing."I'm sorry, who's the "intolerant hatemonger" again?
-- Al Gore, White House Special Briefing, October 28, 1994
As soon as Al Gore learns to treat conservatives with respect, he'll have earned the same in return. Until then...
All right, dammit. You force me to tell my EE joke.
A Polish airlines plane was on a flight from Warsaw to Krakow. An engine on the left wing developed a problem and konked out. The pilot asked all available passengers to move to the other side of the cabin to help stabilize the plane. However, it seemed to have the opposite effect; the plane went into a spin and crashed.
Later, the accident investigation was having trouble determining the cause, until somebody had the inspiration:
Too many Poles in the right-half plane.
