It would have popped everybody's ears and now, with 85% pressurization, that simply would not do. Under the rules, once someone makes a threat (or even a prognostication that something bad is likely to happen on a commercial aircraft if or unless this or that is done or not done, the pilot finds the nearest suitable place to dispatch the problem. Suitable, in this case, means a place that also services the final destination of the trouble makers -- preferably the same day or general time frame. The fact that the pilot was made aware of the event shows that the system is working well. Had one flight attendant decided not to tell the pilot of a potentially problematic situation and another reported the problem after landing, disciplinary action could have been brought. Failure to report is a major problem in the U.S., as we all know. Indeed, it's almost as big a problem and reporting bullshit that is irrelevant.

ANNOYING FAMILY WITH ANNOYING DAUGHTER THROWN OFF THE FLIGHT [YAY] “Waaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaaaaah!!!! Everybody has to put up with my out-of-control teenage chest-slapper. Not to be all gushing about how lovely and wonderful she is means you HATE spastics and retards. It also means you’re a racist but I’m not exactly sure how I can tie that together just yet. The world needs to bend over backward and give us special treatment because of our defective dau. Snap-to, world, or we’re bringing in the lawyers!” There is a reason God invented the private automobiles and sedatives. The parents should have taken the girl to the zoo and told her it was Disney World. Hey cripples: Yes! We put up with your wheel chairs and walkers. But you’re not Wounded Warriors just because you got drunk and rolled off your porch last summer. We give some extra time for the old farts who are stiff and nevertheless getting by on their own. More power to them! But you're not them. You're just in the way, Miss Demanding-Defect Mom. And no. We are not interested in participating in your self-aggrandizing twelve-act morality play. We cut some slack for y’all out of compassion. The minute your wants turn into demands, many of us will go Third Reich on you faster than you can say lebensborn. There is a tremendous difference between: (1) Oh, hi there; I’m sorry, but my elderly dad is in the car and I forgot to leave the AC on, so would you mind terribly if I went in front of you real quick here? I only have these five items; and (2) I’m going to go ahead and cut in front of you because my dad and I need to make the first race at Santa Anita [race track] and I really need to cash a check on the way so I can get my usual PikSicks. Now, like I said: if you are fucked up because you were doing something in service of our nation, or fighting a fire, or due to a domestic dispute call over your squad car radio, fine. We all honor your service and show that by stepping in or aside to try to help as best we can. But if the reason you are demanding special favors is because at 48, you were too stupid to get an amniocentesis, or you decided you really could go ahead and smoke crack the entire time you were carrying Annoying Monster, well then… fuck you. Got that? Fuck you. Please allow me to clarify that for you: Fuck.... You. Oh, and if your Annoying Monster is so allergic to peanuts that everyone on the flight gets zero nibbles, rest assured: I carry my own jar of Planter’s dry roasted peanuts and would be happy to share them – particularly with the fat guy who keeps sneezing. Just say the word. Ask. Don’t demand, bitch. Or even better yet: take your own car and put a plastic bag over Annoying Monster’s ugly drooling fat face. No, you and Annoying Monster were not kicked off the flight because the little shit was autistic. You were thrown off the flight because you threatened that Precious was going to go postal if your demands weren't met “and then you would [do as I demand and] help her.” Yeah, we know: you plan on introducing your public menace to some spastic boy at Camp We’re Better Than Everybody Else and see to it that they produce as many public wards as possible – just the minute she turns 18. We all want to thank you so much for that! We know you plan to see to it that Annoying Monster is the gimp that keeps on giving. Wait. Let me guess, when not disrupting United Airlines flights, you head up your local campaign against vaccinations. Just a guess, but you know ….. Your Annoying Monster is a perfect candidate for retroactive abortion. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3075027/The-bizarre-terrible-moment-family-taken-airplane-police-pilot-says-didn-t-feel-comfortable-flying-autistic-teenager-wanted-food.html

OooooKAY! I don't really understand much (any) of that, but I can see y'all do and are having a good time with it. I'll just move along quietly.

Okay. I give up. What is it?

<< Curtsies and says, "Thank you, kind sir!" >>

Great article. Has an only partially disguised Euro-wash of the Kool Aid, but fun nevertheless. Learnt lots of new factoids... sort of. Liked the part where the Pakis "made Bank." Had to laugh.

Oh! The huge manatee!

To keep you up to date, one Clarabelle was an intern, got pissed off, quit the job, and became Captain Kangaroo. I thought Captain Kangaroo was that guy who shot his girlfriend, got off on it, and got off.

I like that story, Woody.

Yes, indeed: I did not know that. I thought they were designed so Howdy Doody boys could perfect their throwing a baseball like a girl.

That won't happen.

meh Good girls never spit.

History tells us that Clarabelle never got a show of its own. Had to share it with some annoying wooden puppet and a frog.

No, you were right, Woody. That was Adam Gimbel's float in the Macy-Day Parade.

Or perhaps interviewing unaccompanied illegal alien brats sneaking across the border. "Come with me; we need to inspect you for the Mark of the Devil."

In Honor of MOTHER'S DAY I thought we needed this.

Just going by your hint... it's a drone (radio controlled vehicle). Do I get partial credit? ;D Tesla's toy boat (yeah, I googled the picture)... do I still get partial credit for guessing it's an RCV? I guessed that before I googled. ;D ;D Well I was way off. I was going to say it was a pressure cooker for cooking a pot roast, with it's own ventilator fan. Yeah, I was way off too. I thought it was a combination all-weather bathtub, lightning rod, catheter from early 20th Century Warsaw.
