Slog - Comments on Five Things... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/six_things 1. Southwest Airlines boarding procedures turn people into animals—animals. 2. Can I just say how proud I am to have made the McLeod Residence's list of Seattle Notables—along with my colleagues Jen Graves, Christopher Frizzelle, Charles Mudede, and Juan the Frye Apartment Guy. (But someone needs to tell the McLeod Residence that Real World Danny moved away.) 3. On my way to a theater in Chicago on Friday night I called a friend and asked for directions.

Truly the phrase that describes Anytown, USA.

Post amended to include Graves. It's a long list, in no particular order. I only skimmed it. Sorry, Jen! No slight intended!

I had to check nytimes.com to make sure there hadn't been a plane crash today. Is that photoshop? Please, I'm so confused and scared and flying Southwest on Sunday.

For example:

"There's a great windbaggery going on tonight at the gallery between a Subway and a Starbucks."

In Portland, where neighborhoods are rapidly changing, but with a new urban sameness, we often use "Between a french bakery and a wine bar".

At midway I recently got shoved out of the middle of the "A" boarding group by an old woman. She actually knocked the my stuff out of my arms so I would have to pick it up all so she could get a fucking exit row. Ridiculous.

It was a horrible experience, and I've never in my life been treated so literally like cattle - they've got everything but the prods, and they figuratively shove your nose into the cowpies and rub. I'll never do it again; the extra dollars for a reserved-seat and a tiny shred of dignity are worth it to me personally.
