“It’s between a Subway and a Starbucks.”


Truly the phrase that describes Anytown, USA.

Ha point # 5 reminds me of my favorite Talking Heads song, Big Country...

"I wouldn't do the things, that i see those people do. I wouldn't live there if you paid me to!..."

I flat-out refuse to fly Southwest. I did my time on Greyhound, thank you very much.

Oh, and I meant to imply that the Frye Apartment guy was a colleague. Post amended to include Graves. It's a long list, in no particular order. I only skimmed it. Sorry, Jen! No slight intended!

Dude, that Southwest picture is freaking me out. 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.

Jen deserves props for her recent use of the word 'windbaggery' (which I hope becomes the new term for all panel discussions). 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".

Southwest does turn people into animals. 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.

I flew Southwest for the first time several years ago to Las Vegas and back. 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.
