Airplane Unacceptable...

Hi. I'm sorry I can't finish what I wanted to say about the Olympics but Terrible pretty much said everything I wanted to say anyway. EXCEPT, the upsetting "dads" who are constantly present, hugging the 12-year-old daughters after they fall on their back, letting down the whole country. My problem with gymnastics - it doesn't look FUN. It looks like it hurts. Why would somebody want to ram their midsection against a wooden bar? Why would you want to "play" a sport that forces you to wear "wraps" around the arches and hands because it hurts so damn much every time you grip or land?? And let's be honest - on floor exercise, is it necessary for them to play the "soft" music when these "girls" look like ANYTHING but girls?? Let's not be girly - go for the gold and do some one-armed pushups like the "boys".

Why is it that in gymnastics, the girls look like boys and the boys (who are usually HOT until they talk) are so girly? And let's talk about men's gymnastics. First of all, I have to say I'm glad the Hamms are out, although we did dress up as them for Halloween 3 years ago. It allows the huge-armed Indian-American to shine on the rings. But I do have to say, I love their outfits. J has decided that all male athletes should have to wear speedos or the gymnastic outfits when they "play".

For example, why do the male swimmers now wear women's bathing suits? And why do the beach volleyball "women" have to wear bikinis and the men get to wear JAMS? They should wear Speedos or the gymnastic outfits, right? Do you remember JAMS? Hehehehehe.

I haven't even GOTTEN to my airplane unacceptable yet. I had to stop talking because my employee (it's ridiculous that I have employees) arrived in the midst of my gymnastics rant. Ok - I am not a fat-discriminator but, in the past 2 weeks, I have been sat ON by 2 women on small planes and I just don't think it's fair to anyone. I feel badly for them because they can't even put the tray down and I feel bad for me because I can't put the armrest down and I only get half of a seat and it's VERY uncomfortable. Can't they have handicapped seats or something for the seatbelt extender people??

Ok - so I am flying to Seattle, on a 6 hour flight and about halfway through, I am whacked by the stench of fish. It REEKS. I can't figure out what the hell is going on but I know somebody is somehow eating fish on the plane, 3 hours into the flight. How is that possible?? After we land, I get up and the guy behind me is proudly holding up his little vacuum-sealed packet of salmon, like LOX salmon, which he must have opened up during the flight. UNACCEPTABLE. Seriously, even a fart dissipates - FISH on a plane?? I was pissed.

Ok - enough for today. Except....last night, while we were driving from Portland, OR to Seattle, we had to stop at a rest stop. SO...I picked up a couple of bottles of Smart Water for my co-worker and myself. As I was walking toward the cash register, I saw a bunch of bearded Washingtonian-looking people milling around the hot dog situation. I didn't pay much attention. BUT, as I was leaving the store, I heard the cashier say, "ELEVEN hot dogs??" I was somewhat in shock so I snuck a peak at the crew in line. All I can say is that there were, indeed, 11 hot dogs amongst the 4 people, they were all smothered with something (I think I saw some sauerkraut) and I may never eat a hot dog again.

And oh by the way - I am getting MAAAAAWIED in less than 2 weeks!!
