#1 air travel tip

ok, here it is, my most prized air travel secret. air travel sucks, right? a proper coffee is three bucks, you have to endure a barrage of arbitrary rules, everything takes forever and they won’t let you listen to your ipod because it might interfere with a plane that’s built to withstand lightning strikes. want to smooth things out a little? take the edge off? you may think that getting drunk at the airport bar or on the plane is going to cost you a fortune, but here’s where my secret comes in: just take a few drinks through security.

you’re allowed to take as many three ounce bottles you can fit in a one litre plastic bag through security. security doesn’t care if it’s rum, whisky, or vodka, as long as your personal liquids meet those size criteria. grab a handful of those single serving bottles from the liquor store before your next flight, then order a few complimentary orange juices or cokes while on board for mixes. be discreet at this point, because most airlines prohibit outside alcohol and you don’t want anyone to think you stole from the passing beverage cart.

feeling this, not in the the present tense sense, but in the someday sometime somewhat soon sort of way

once, in an effort to get juicy pear flavoured jelly beans for my best friend, i purchased a two pound bag through a pet rescue charity online. they never came. i felt kinda ripped off, but i hope the money went to the dogs anyways. i’ve been hanging onto this image from their website for the last five years or so. the kid was the founder of the charity and the dog was normally timid, but so scared of water after being abused that even rain would cause it to snarl and bite.
