Maybe Jack Bauer will be the first to kill a passenger who uses their phone on the plane. Maybe it'll be Audrey. We can hope.

"Edna, you'll never guess where I'm calling from! I'm yelling because I'm calling from a plane! Yes, in the air! And guess who's sitting next to me?....Guess! Nope....nope....nope, but don't I wish!....nope, it's Dave Berry. DAVE BERRY....the writer?....I was hoping you could tell me, that's why I was calling you....did I tell you where I'm calling from? You'll never guess!"

Snork @ Annie.
I was totally going to post the same--well not verbatim, as I don’t know anyone named Edna.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | March 22, 2007 at 07:52 PM
Who's Dave Berry?
Posted by: writer132 | March 22, 2007 at 07:53 PM

Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 22, 2007 at 08:04 PM

Ohforgoodnesssakepeople! I was joking! Obnoxious people always mispronounce Dave's name.

Annie, I think some people have had one too many flip-flops, IYKWIM. ;-)

Stoopid bot...
Posted by: baligurl | March 22, 2007 at 08:35 PM
I got it, Annie!
Seriously, gorgeous Spring weather and my windows open, I had to keep cranking the volume on the stereo because a guy, outside the house, across my lawn, across the street was pacing back and forth ranting into his phone. That gut was so loud he could probably have been heard by the person on the other end, had they opened their windows!
This must have been done to reduce the potential for violence on the aircraft!
Posted by: CJrun | March 22, 2007 at 08:37 PM
I hate when guts are so loud I have to open my windows!
Posted by: writer132 | March 22, 2007 at 09:05 PM
*snork* at CJ & writer132!
On our flight, you called your friend, Nicole
Yakked incessantly; I lost control
Thanks to your conversation
I missed my vacation
But in ten years I’m up for parole.
Posted by: Just Ducky | March 22, 2007 at 09:36 PM
It's just you sky talkin'
You're telling us lies, yeah
Sky talkin'
It ain't gonna fly
Sky talkin'
No need to pretend, yeah
Sky talkin'
Has come to an end
Oh, my friend
Seems you don't know
Just where the line will be
Oh, my friend
You talk too much
They're gonna take away your frequency
For all of your sky talkin'
You're not fooling this crowd
Phone signals
Won't reach to the clouds
Nobody will hear what you say
It's cause your sky talkin'
Is over today

I'm all for a complete ban on cell phones. period. I'd also ban serving liver and onions in restaurants, just for the record.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 22, 2007 at 10:23 PM
and "sheesh, bali - no wonder your cat peed on your dive bag. ;)" made me spew my beer!
now that's a funny slam!
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 22, 2007 at 10:26 PM
So... you're cool with liver and onions on airplanes, then?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 22, 2007 at 10:34 PM
Wyo - bali mentioned it on a prior thread. I thought it was pretty funny, but hopefully no beer was wasted due to my comment. And I'll second your liver and onions ban.
CJ - the guy was probably trying to hear himself think over your stereo. You crank your music, he talks loud, etc ad nauseum.
Last weekend our neighbor kid decided to sell lemonade in his front yard. Business was slow, so he decided to 'advertise' by screaming "LEMONADE!!!" at the top of his lungs, many, many, many times. The house next to his is now up for sale. ISIANMTU

Maybe they should allow cell phones on planes, but only if the user is inside a clear, one-gallon Ziploc bag.

Maybe we should put the bot in a one-gallon ziploc bag. :(

*wonders what else Annie's keepin in one-gallon ziploc bags.*
*wonders if she'd share*
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | March 22, 2007 at 10:44 PM
I don't like it when people talk loudly on cell phones, but every now and then, those cell phones come in handy, for people who talk at a normal conversational level.
Posted by: Kristina L. | March 22, 2007 at 10:45 PM
Sorry, Wyo - no gots....I get this weird just on caffeine. Anything else and my head would explode...again.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 22, 2007 at 11:19 PM
thanks, 'night-maid.' Nice strappy sandals.

1 Quart, 1 QUART zip lock bags my friends. Sheesh, have we learned nothing here? We are totally going to be busted.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | March 23, 2007 at 12:18 AM
SEND MORE DAVE BERRY!!
Somehow that never gets old either.

"A $10-per-trip AirCell service slated to roll out by early 2008 would let passengers use Wi-Fi-equipped laptops to e-mail, surf the Web and access corporate networks."
Just my luck, I'll be stuck between Aunt Goldie yakking on the phone about her son the doctah and a pimply smelly weirdo surfing gay midget amputee porn sites. With his volume up.
Posted by: Stevie W | March 23, 2007 at 12:41 AM
Cheryl - I was trying to be nice. One gallon = reasonable. One quart = that's just cruel. And doesn't it have to be a 'Ziploc' tm thingy brand bag?
Stevie - if you don't like it, then next time don't fly with your family.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 23, 2007 at 12:49 AM
Time again for one of my favorites:
All my bags are stashed, I’m here on the phone
I’m sitting next to you; don’t groan
I hate to tell you, I won’t say goodbye
Cuz my best friend’s speaking; she’s so upset
We need to talk now, though I’m on this jet
Already I know you just want to cry
So curse me, and frown at me
Tell me of your hate for me
Hold your ears; you don’t want to let go
Cause I’m calling on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll hang up again
These things take time, you know
Now don’t whine; and stop your griping
Blow your nose; it needs wiping
Just close your eyes, and you’ll get through today
Dream about when you’ll come home
And you will get to be alone
We’re landing soon; I’ll be on my way
So curse me, and frown at me
Tell me of your hate for me
Hold your ears; you don’t want to let go
Cause I’m calling on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll hang up again
These things take time, you know.

*hastily sets coffemeker to "stun", seeks new coffeemaker with more advanced capabilities so as to be able to set it to "stupefy"*
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 23, 2007 at 06:43 AM
i'm already set to stupefy, i need something stronger.
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 07:10 AM
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to set it to "amphetamines"...
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 23, 2007 at 07:19 AM
mornin', legal forms of speed will be welcome. TGIF and all that stuff. today i will be seeking a grant to discover why i feel like i'm in the third day of a two day drunk when i don't drink any form of alcohol. there has got to be money it this somewhere.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 07:29 AM
Good morning ladies!
A big *SNORK* up there to Ducky!!
Annie, I'm glad you liked my cleaning outfit ;-)
I brought chocolate croissants!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | March 23, 2007 at 07:31 AM
chocolate croissants? perks up! anyone bring strawberries? whipped cream?
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 07:46 AM
it's breakfast cg-not sex. oh, did i say that out loud?
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 07:50 AM
*reads ww's post and sadly puts strawberries and whipped cream back in fridge*
Posted by: Layzeeboy | March 23, 2007 at 07:56 AM
*dejectedly puts chocolate syrup back in cabinet*
*pouts*

Posted by: Siouxie | March 23, 2007 at 08:06 AM
food, sex, interchangeable anymore.
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 08:06 AM
I'll have a couple of giant sausages.
What?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | March 23, 2007 at 08:08 AM
NT and Lazee-carry on. sex for breakfast is never a bad thing, gets the day started right, gets all the synapses firing in the proper order, right after that post-coital nap. just saying that breakfast and sex should not be confused.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 08:08 AM
Okaaaaaayyy, well, I'm full!
Off to work!
See ya all later!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | March 23, 2007 at 08:11 AM
ww - yay!
"accidentally" drops chocolate syrup in bed...
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 23, 2007 at 08:15 AM
*waves @ Punkin*
I'm off to get READY for work!
see ya's latah!

". just saying that breakfast and sex should not be confused.
Posted by: wickedwitch | 07:08 AM on March 23, 2007
can i confuse brunch and sex? lunch? dinner? midnight snackies?
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 08:26 AM
DEFINITELY midnight snackies!
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 23, 2007 at 08:29 AM
Why is the P0rn and Pancakes thread now echoing in my head?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 23, 2007 at 08:33 AM
sex IS the best midnight snack. and if you confuse sex and any meal then i'll bet you don't have to watch your weight! in fact, that sounds like the kind of diet plan i could stick to. now, i have to find an exercise/diet partner.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 08:34 AM
you may be on to something there, ww. that's a book that would sell. for a couple hundred pages just encrouage people to get laid every time they feel hungry.
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 08:37 AM
if i had sex every time i was hungry, i'd die from exhaustion in two weeks. however, i'd be thin with a grin.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 08:39 AM
there's your title! "thin with a grin"
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 08:46 AM
Research ought to be fun!
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 23, 2007 at 08:58 AM
i'm rushing to copyright that title. now the really easy part is writing the book. this might be a best seller.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 08:59 AM
Just remember to include a chapter about using BOBs. Some of us don't have SO's who can keep up (har!) as it is.
Posted by: Noob | March 23, 2007 at 09:05 AM
you may need to provide info on where to buy batteries in bulk then...
Posted by: crossgirl | March 23, 2007 at 09:12 AM
Why does this thread suddenly give the exercise video, "Sweatin' to the Oldies," a different and horrid aspect?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 23, 2007 at 09:14 AM
see that's where i run into trouble. i don't think that there are many SO's who could keep up and i don't believe that using BOBs will work quite as well at burning excess calories, which is an integral part of the diet plan. i'm still working on that angle though. it is possible that i could create an entirely new service industry of 'diet partners'. wonder how i'd conduct the interviews though.

Morning, Blogits!
The Woot Off continues! Woot! Woot!

Posted by: Siouxie | March 23, 2007 at 09:19 AM

Posted by: wickedwitch | March 23, 2007 at 09:25 AM
Wow - you guys are better than caffeine. What a morning pick-up-me-and-throw-me-down!
(I noticed, also, that most of the boyz are quietly blurking.)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 23, 2007 at 12:06 PM
not blurking, annie, just quietly basking in the afterglow of "breakfast"
