Morrighan's Personal Rule in Life #18: Listen to the flight attendant
(^ this is old school now.)
Yes you've heard this hundreds of times and FAs are your friends. Pssst. An FA will tell the most amazing tales you have ever heard.

Old school is when this is economy class. For real. You know, when airlines provide service from here to there and back again.

(FA's rule number 1: It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground)

Something that I've never understood.

"....Dogs possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in us. And the part of a dog's brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is, proportionally speaking, 40 times greater than ours."

Why is it then that they have get their nose up so close when checking out another dog?

Hey, ever notice Times Square is kind of skeevy in the 70s? I know, weird, huh. Actually what's weird is the 70s don't feel very long ago?



The 70’s was a sleezy time in general. There were the so called pimp mobiles. Polyester shirts with big collars.

Times square was a red light district. They’ve cleaned up the drugs and movie houses, as well as the mess and rats

Traditionally bordellos were down by the water or port in the oldest areas, bord de l'eau.

They may have cleaned it up but I don't think they got all the rats! :laugh:

Owned, wore (and was momentarily proud of) some of the most horrific clothing EVAH. Lord have mercy. One exception noted, still a good look for me and thank you no traceable photographs exist. Except for one and while it's published I ain't telling.

"Down by the water" also means the wealthy who lived at water's edge were the first to contract plague, yellow fever, &c &c, Joan Plantagenet being a choice example. Not that her family's taste in fashion could be even held up to the ultra-low standards of the 1970s.

Pretty sure rats are a theme here, Times Square or Bordeaux.
