She was booked to fly Virgin America but alas, after T.S.A. was through she could only get passage on a tramp steamer.

I think the “drugtest” doesn’t refer to test for consumption but to traces on clothes that indicate smuggling. If you think about it, it would make sense (for an asshole parent) to put your stuff on the kid.

A little drugtest anekdote:

In 2002 I was flying from Jamaica to Germany, with a stopover in London.
I fell asleep late on the flight to london and woke up shortly before landing. What is usally the first thing you do after waking up? Right, taking a piss. And man did i have to pee! But I wasn’t allowed to, as we were already in the landing phase. So first thing I did when I got off the plane was running for the next toilet. Must have looked suspicious I guess. I then went to the next counter to ask for directions. The Lady took a long (loooong) silent look at me and said:
“Right through this door Sir.”
I said thank you and walked throogh the door. As it shut behind me I was looking at a room that looked something like Q’s laboratory on the Bond movies.
I turned back to the door – No doorknob. That stupid bitch… A small security guy (srsly, Im not a tall guy but I had to look down to look into his face) then entered the room from the other side and started to ask questions. First was
“Is this all of your luggage?”
Well my original flight was cancelled due to a hurricane, but my main luggage (1 Traveler Backpack) was send dirctly to Germany with another direct connection. All I was carrying was a book and a bottle of water (Yes in 2002. only 11 months after 911 you could take a whole bottle of water with you, amazing isnt it?)
So I said yes.
His second question was:
“Do you have any illegal drugs on you?”
I said no.
He then pulled out a little tiny vacuum cleaner and started to go over all of my clothes, and EVERY page of my book (We’re talking about 800 pages here…).
He then put the thing in a little machine that looked like something right out of the original StarTrek series.
It made R2D2 like noises, then a alarm sounded and a little printout, like in a fortune cookie, appeared.
He: “You have traces of cocaine and canabis on you. Explain.”
Me: “Duh, I came here from Jamaica. You can’t cross the street there without getting “traces” of that stuff on you.”
He (starting to get really pissed):
“I asked you if have any illegal drugs on you!”
Me: “So?”
He: “You lied!”
Me: “No I didn’t.”
He: “I ask you one more time, have you consumed illegal drugs in Jamaica?”
Me: “Thats actualy the first time you ask me that.”
At this point his head looked as it was about to explode and I got a little scared. So I told him that I had a Joint or two a couple of days ago.
He screamed at me: “That is illegal here!”
Me: “Well, I didnt do it HERE, and I dont intend to. Anyhow, how much longer will this take? I don’t want to miss my connection.”
He then called in two other guys. They didnt talk to me at all, they just held a little conference in a corner of the room. They checked EVERY page of my book again.One of them poured a little water out of my bottle, felt it between his fingers, smelled it,tasted it – let the other guy taste it – this went on for another 30 minutes.
Finally they gave up in frustration and let me go.
As I walked out I thought:”Funny, they never checked my shoes. I could have had a pound of cocaine in there, they wouldn’t have noticed.”

#44–con==Here’s my Jamaica Story: North East shore, not really the better tourist place, but quiet and cheap, some good reggae nightclubs off the dirt roads. Out driving around, coming back from the Island Errol Flynn used to molest all the local kiddies, and stopped for a beer. Band was soundtesting and it was better than Bob Marley so I stuck around. Bought the regulars there a round of beer. Everyone happy. A few hours later, a guy I had been talking to asked me if I had a watch. I said Yes, its about 800PM. He said: “Yea Mon, time you be going.” I took the hint, thanked him, bought him another beer and left the place. I said OK tomorrow afternoon? He said Yea Mon.

So the gated hotel that night had a Hawaian Luau themed dinner and entertainment I caught the tail end of.

I doubt anything would have happened if I had stayed in that shanty club==but here I am able to wonder about it. Later there was drugs, R&R, beach sex, scuba diving, parachute sailing, and lots of alcohol.

but this thread is about molesting little kiddies which I don’t know nothing about, other than reading a few books. Naked Lunch, Beautiful Losers, not too many more. The theme is actually kinda rare in good literature/advante guarde. Heh, heh.

I suspect that no kids should be allowed to board a long aluminium or carbon composite tube where they’ll be confined for several hours without prior ingestion of a lot of drugs to shut them the Hell up.

And that kid looks like she’s wearing a diaper under her pants, which is a smart move on the parents part.

#49 Ah, still conFused after all these years. But don’t worry, Obama will fix everything, right?

pedro says:

#51 So you’re telling me Obama is not gonna fix this? Bummer.

I blame conFusion & Dallas, they had me convinced he was gonna fix things, so don’t blame me.

Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama…

Did it ever occur to you, people get sick of reading about your insane obsession with Obama? Nobody fucking cares about your sick sexual fantasies. Get a life!

Dallas says:

#55 When Obama took over, the Pukes had driven the country off a cliff after inheriting a surplus and time of peace.

Sheeple cronies like you elected the dumbass, TWICE and did the following:
> Two wars
> “Paid” for them with a trillion dollar tax cut. Yep, the dumbass asked the country to sacrifice by cutting taxes and borrowing from China. The sheeple just heard ‘tax cuts’ and went to the mall to buy shit made in China by Chinese child labor.
> Economic collapse by ignoring basic stewardship responsibilities or the Executive Office.
> Sucked Saudi dick for 8 years – driving record exports of US Dollars for energy.
> Killed the only counter balance that Iran had in the region to avenge daddy Bush.
> Installed Supreme Court goons like that sex addicted black guy that has said 9 sentences in his entire term thus far. Look it up.

Obama has stopped the slide, country on recovery but it will take a while to get out of the stink hole you voted for. In the mean time, you shitholes weigh in with a Christine O’Donnel and Sara I-can-see-Russia Palin as a ‘fix’.
Where’s my gun

I realize I’m a bit late back to the party, but #31, guess who owns and runs the airports? The government!

For that matter, guess who owns and runs the highways? The government. Ditto ports and nearly all passenger trains world wide.

I’d love to have more choices, but there IS NO NON-GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED TRANSPORTATION. Hasn’t been any in decades. Used to be at least railroads owned and operated all their own facilities. But the government instituted policies that forced them out of the passenger business.

But, as a pragmatist, my advice is still stay home or use the best available option.

Atlas Shrugged opens in limited release April 15, for those who are interested. Should be amusing.
