— Purple Avenger OK, I may have made up that part about the invisibility cloak, and the dude seems a bit larger than a Munchkin too.
A Louisiana man flying to California woke up on a dark, empty plane parked at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston after sleeping through the call to exit the aircraft, officials said on Monday...The crew better go with the invisibility cloak excuse. I can't see anything else working....Company policy requires the flight crew to do a final sweep of the cabin and the company was investigating how Wagner was left onboard, Harrison said...

O/T, but Ben hasn't dumped, so shoot me.
On the other thread, Carol was talking about staying home all winter. I mentioned to Mrs. P last night that I wish I could take a day off and just curl up on the couch with a big bowl of snacks and read all day. Saturdays I end up sleeping most of the day and Sundays I feel I ought to be writing. I've got a nice, thick book about leisure pastimes in Victorian England just waiting for me to dip into it, as well as a biography of Gloria Swanson and a new book on the "Fatty" Arbuckle case. The problem is, where I work, I have to be there M-F, no excuses.
Nothing else. Just felt like venting. And BTW, I still recommend the short story The Love Letter by Jack Finney to the Horde. It might make you feel better on this cold, lonely day.

Ugh, these people have NO class.
I suppose it's never occurred to them to have some composure in public? We're not interested in their drama. And, get this, the event wasn't about them, it was about Mandela.

No, I really think Michelle is that petty.

This story will have the shelf life of a soap bubble. Choom Boy's acolytes in the MFM will make it go away quickly, or they'll belch out some lame-ass "excuse" that satisfies his fanbois.
Look: the incompetent thug commits felonies on a pretty regular basis, and always draws a pass. And his crowd has no more class than he exhibited at the funeral.

Passenger was comatose and unresponsive, thought he was dead.
Passenger was in insulin shock, non responsive.
Passenger was stealth ninja dressed in black and the lights were out.

O'Bamboozler's handshake would have been better received if he had done the broshake. Coordinated hand movements followed by a very pronounced ball grab with two or three shakes. It's a bro thing.

Is the Mandela thing over? Did everyone see pictures of him with Quadaffi? I canÂ’t spell his name correctly & have seen it spelled a number of ways.
That might be hard, since Mummer Gadfly is... well, very very dead.

I think he means Mandela.
And yes, not only did Mandela warmly embrace every murderous dictator the world over, he went out of his way to have kind things to say about them.

When I got outside it was dark. I'd been asleep for at least five hours. Even more upsetting is that when I got home nobody asked me where I'd been, being only fourteen and not given to disappearing. Apparently, everybody thought I'd been in my room the whole time or didn't even give it that much thought.
More recently, I fell asleep on the Metrolink on the rare occasion I had a job that let me make use of it. When I woke up I looked out the window and noticed the Costco, when meant my stop was two stations back. The train was already pulling out. If I didn't get off at the next stop I'd be stuck in Lancaster, which meant I had to wait around at the station in Acton with a whole lot of nothing around it, in 100 degree heat. It was a very long wait.

Talk about being left alone:
I knew a guy whose wife was pregnant and went to see the OB because something wasn't feeling right. In fact, she was having a miscarriage. The nurse examined her first and saw something wrong and said I'm going to get so-and-so (the doctor or whomever) and left. She never came back. Nobody came back. They forgot her, left her in the examining room and closed the office for the day. The poor wife waited a long time (I don't know, maybe she was used to waiting forever for doctors, or maybe she passed out) and finally went out into the hall and found everyone gone. In the end she was fine (except for the miscarriage). I never did hear how they handled it with the doctor's office. Pitchforks and torches, I imagine.

"Ummm...where's my son?"
"Uhhh...you'll have to go to the other YMCA. He's over there."
"Why is he there and not here?"
"Uhhhh...they'll tell you that when you get there." *runs off*
So, I drive over to the other YMCA on the other side of town and the program director comes out to meet me. She's pale because she explains to me with profuse apologies that my son was left on the bus and woke up alone. He was clever enough to open the front door because he had seen the drivers do it so many times. When he wandered off the bus, another lady who had just parked her car and was going inside spotted him and asked if he was ok and where his parents were. He said he didn't know. So she immediately brings him inside and alerts the front desk that they've got a lost child. I can only imagine the DEFCON1 level of panic going through their minds when they tried to figure out what the hell happened.
I listened to her and told her that I was not going to involve any lawyers, though I was within my right to do so. I thanked her for taking care of him until I got there and that no action would be taken on my part, except for a detailed explanation of what happened exactly. Later on, they did contact me and told me that the driver, who was an older man, neglected to check the bus front to back as their SOP says to. He just parked the bus thinking it was empty. He was placed on leave and all the drivers and counsellors were given the "come to Jesus" talk about double-checking their vehicles before locking them up.
My wife was livid beyond description when I told her what happened. She wanted me to sue the ever-loving piss out of anything with "YMCA" in their name. I told her that this was a screw-up on their part, but that I did not want to put the YMCA into hardship because they do provide a valuable service to the local community in general. Yes, they fucked up but I forgave them because they put it right in the end. They fessed up and took care of my son and made sure that all their staff members went through retraining.

She behaved better than him, but glaring and making him switch seats isn't at all dignified.
***
The Obamas weren't there as citizens, they were representing the United States. The office of president and role of FLOTUS are bigger than the petty troubles of whoever the current occupants are. She could have reigned him in quietly and let him know how she really felt later. Instead she let the world know she was pissed.
