With regards to this post:

If you really are lurking around here as part of your job, in order to keep tabs on such dangerous subversives as us, then may I say that you ought to be ashamed of yourself. In fact, let me go one step further. It is your patriotic duty as an American to become a whistleblower and take this shameful waste of taxpayer dollars to the public. Please allow me to refer you to http://www.whistleblowers.org/ ... or, you know how to use google. Do you really think this is a legitmate part of your job, keeping tabs on a bunch of harmless, law-abiding citizens? Do you really thing this is a valid use of the power of the U.S. government, spying on some swoony news-crushing girls who like to talk about suits, ties, and politics? Suck it up, Agent Mike, and do the right thing: Call the media, call the whistleblowers, or just say NO.

Now, if you're just hanging out here for the jollification, by all means, continue. :evilgrin:

1. Crispy, could I see your cuff collection

before deciding whether you are harmless? Just sayin'...

3. Well, TSA does seem rather fond of searching my bags.

I think it's mostly for the amusement value. They must not have very interesting lives, bless their little hearts. :evilgrin:

4. interesting. I've rarely been searched.

That I know of. :o

5. They're supposed to put those little slips in your bag.

I get one pretty much every other time I fly.

Speaking of airport security, have you been through the air puff machine yet? That's some weird shit! They have one at SFO. You go into it and it puffs air on you and then analyses the air, I guess for explosive residue or something. It's freaky deaky, because you walk into this enclosed box.

In my case, I imagine the box got to do a nice analysis of some cat hair. :P

6. I know they're supposed to do that.

They're also supposed to get warrants for wiretaps. x(

I haven't been through the air puff machine. Sounds like might me more useful than that special paper they run over the seams on your carryons to see if you have any nitrates (or maybe it's some other chemical related to explosives?) on your bags.

As far as cat hair is concerned, don't you think Foley's would make a killing if they came out with a line of clothing that already has cat hair on it, so you know what those pants are really gonna look like on you? ;-)

2. While we're at it,

I'd also like to invite any other lurkers out there to show themselves (figuratively OR literally - your choice!).

Come out, come out, wherever you are!!

"spying on some swoony news-crushing girls"

Ahem ...... hate to break it to you both me and Mr. Sean are not girls.



An EDV sniffing dog on the hunt for some KOEB babes in London. They want
to go to the British Museum, a play, Kew Gardens, and the Ye Olde Spank, Tickle,
and Restrain Shop for Frisky Women in Kent.

BTW if anybody is really monitoring DU for the government or Rove and company
get a fucking life or a real job. And a little heads up; we are losing the war on terror,
bin Laden is still free, and RED CHINA now has the deed to our house.
