Fish story

[clevermanka]

I usually read all my friends' journals before I do my own entry, but I really wanted to share this story about a girl, her fish, and the TSA as soon as I could.

Thanks to dvicci for the story link.

Ooo, thanks to a link from Stu, I found out

Your ideal husband is Elijah Wood! I hereby label
you
a mysterious outsider who doesn't follow the crowd,
but a sucker
for the bluest eyes in the world!

But then I went back and faked the answers so I could get

Your ideal husband is Orlando Bloom! I hereby
label you
adventurous, fun-loving, not afraid of a challenge,
and a girl
who'll fall for the man of the moment

UPDATE: As an addition to the fish story, I would like to add this Snake Story. I would love to see this animal in real life. Nearly 49 feet long and 984 pounds? Amazing.

UPDATE TO UPDATE: Rats. Apparently, they lied about the size of the snake.

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with Elijah either when I took the quiz, and less now that I see his picture has been "updated" if not improved.

He has such gross fingernails. Ugh.

.:inspects own fingernails:. Does this mean I have no chance with you, L?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Well, as long as you don't zoom in focus on your fingers and the project them onto a 25-foot high screen *after* you've rooted around in the garden, I will forgive you your fingernails.

Your ideal husband is Billy Boyd! I hereby label
you
a lover of boyish Scots and one of those girls who
swoons in front of smiley musicians

Oh gawd he's darling. Definitely my favorite (looking) of the hobbits.

I can so relate to the "fish spectacle" and how TSA employees can't see the fire ffor all the smoke they drum up themselves.

I must admit, as I myself rode the UP escalator with one TSA employee on my tail I couldn't help but worry about what real terrorists were able to slip by during my spectacle.

Well you know, it's the mommies and their strollers, or the college students with their pets, that are easy to deal with. Imagine how terrifying to actually encounter someone who wanted to do real harm! Goodness knows they wouldn't want to confront that person.

OH it peeves me off to NO end!!! TSA does SHIT!! can I relate the story of how MOI got pulled out and felt up (WITH the full hand which I now find out is ILLEGAL!). Rob was TERRIFIED because I was none too quiet about my displeasure at being singled out while the 2 MUSLIM ladies in Hijabs behind us with their DUCT TAPED, over stuffed, stained, big 24 x 16x 18 box that was so heavy they had to kick it across the floor all the way to the plane-went thru all the security without a second glance. But no-PULL OUT THE FREAK GIRL! This was 6 months after 911 too. NOT that all Muslims or Arabs are terrorists. BUT since its an arab terrorist group they are after, perhaps security needs to look at shit like that a bit more carefully. The random checking of passenger is just that RANDOM, the odds of getting a criminal is small to nil- it needs to be consise. The taking of tweezers, small scissors, knitting needles-I don't remember ANY of the terrorist killing people with those-no they had BOX CUTTERS hidden on the planes BEFORE boarding! Anyway-sorry about that-I just HATE the TSA.OH I also QUESTIONED one of htem at SFO when I flew in September about taking off my cloth espadrilles that DON"T have metal supports and how it wasn't necessary according to their own webstie and the doofus had the nerve to tell me that they are just CONTRACTED by TSA, and are a private security guards not Federal employees...Wonder how many Americans REALIZE that!

I did this quiz a hundred years ago and got Sean Bean. I nearly fainted with lust.

[stimps.livejournal.com]

Hee, I got Sean Bean. =D

Great fish story. I don't know if I could be brave enough to x-ray the fish, but I guess you'd have no choice, because I couldn't flush him either...

I love reading about small victories like this. I wonder how many small victories little anti-gov't types can tell, such as getting their guns through checkpoints just to be able to brag to their friends that they did it.

Sigh,
Chris

That is about the best picture of Orlando Bloom I have ever seen. Thank you for that.

(added you, btw)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

And thanks! Do I know you?

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

Nope. I went through and added about seven people recently, searching for interesting journals. I can remove you if you prefer.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! I don't mind at all. I just had a couple people add me recently whom I know and they didn't tell me and then I felt like an idiot. =)
