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............

My husband and I usually travel with our kids. I would have said loudly to my youngest, "can you count the people on the plane? You can? You must be a Republican then! That's my boy!!!"

Just how long were you confined in the same space with this guy? Dutch Elm disease is contagious, you know...

Mrs. Fierro was on a shuttle from Washington D.C. to NYC a few weekends ago.
Chuckie Schumer was going to sit in the seat next to her, until my wife pointed out that it apparently didn't have seatbelts.
Chuckie then sat elsewhere.
The seatbelts were there all along, tucked under the seat. <|:)~

I'd complain to the airlines! As a FReeper, you (nor the other passengers) should be insulted by paying good money only to end up flying on a garbage skow!!
To: RooRoobird14
This is too delicious! Thanks for sharing!
To: RooRoobird14
was the plane listing to the right? or did he sit on the left side of the plane.

Goron Alert!
To: RooRoobird14
"The Goron and his lackey toook up all 6 seats" I was just wondering, considering Southwest's policy if the the Goron and aide were a bit overweight?
To: Snowy
His lackey was a rather small "swarthy" looking young man. I really couldn't identify the ethnicity at all--didn't look Hispanic or Middle Eastern. If The Goron and his lackey paid for all six seats, I don't have a problem with him hogging the seats (doubtful--LOL)
Speaking of "large", The Goron has definitely packed on the pounds!!! He had to take off his suit jacket to be wanded. WOAH---some on AMAZING love-handles on display!!! (no appearance of a bullet-proof vest under his shirt, either).
To: RooRoobird14
Eh-Gahd! Gore flying Southwest. What will the boys from the prep school think.
