Go have a double at the bar and chill the f- out!

Dude, those aren't "vertigo cursed skies". It's anti-aircraft fire.

Seattle-Phoenix-New York? What kind of fucked up itinerary is that? Only America West Airlines would perpetrate such an out of the way route. I hope it was at least cheap.

On the other hand Phoenix has free wi-fi so how bad an airport can it really be?

got the el-cheapo fare eh?

I flew America West once and would never do it again.

It's radar.

I love this post. But I'm drunk. Thank you, and have a fabulous time in New York.

Good god, RELAX! Do you people from the Stranger have to have an attitude about EVERYTHING?!? It's just the fucking rug, for Christ' sake.

Dear - tell roomie to spring for better stuff next time - looking at the cosmos - with brain engaged - it is all circles.

Radar is another good idea or sonar from above ...

Chill, chill - and please tell us about the bj potential of the bathrooms. Minds want to know.

Is this a FREE pr trip - of which the s
Stranger gets a lot. In return for good stories and PR and free ads ... truth now ...

...this is your first trip to New York? My God. I hope you come back. I know I wouldn't. Have a ball, sisssta!

Silly Megan, you're thinking too 2 dimensional! Think of it as a stretched out 3D view. The smaller planes are farther down, while the larger one's are higher, get it? None of the planes are going to collide, and the circles are the water far, far below.

Now take some Zanax and chill the fuck out.

You think that's bad? Try driving to Phoenix... if you hold the mindset that sprawl is hideous and disgusting your head will explode. Phoenix is a terrible idea of a city, the only reason to visit the area is Amare Stoudamire or the Fiesta Bowl.

If a confusing airport carpet pattern freeaks you out, maybe you should rethink the idea of going to NYC.

There, they have crowds, people who laugh riotously and talk to strangers in bars, smells (is McSorly's still there?), and lots of visually confusing things, too.

You know they also have a site of a REAL plane crash that killed a few thousand people six years ago -- a real site, not just a carptet pattern suggestive of possible plane crashes.

Keep us updated on your vertigo.

The Phoenix airport reminds me of a giant trailer.

this bit rivals some of Charles' poetry, and might be just as newsworthy as the airport carpet pattern:

I'm thinking that comments are really a drag waste of time. and what's with the resurrection of "Clue" lately? Great board game but, pop culture reference daily? huh?

I
love
that
CARPET!!

Seriously. That's a great design, f'd up as it is. I think that picture is going to be my new wallpaper.

The planes, the swirling wind, the eye. What a bunch of pussies.

Become a bird Megan, soar with the wind, you are free.

Phoenix, a city where women dress well?
What, you get your fashion tips from Desperate Housewives?
Phoenix women dress like hookers with small allowances. The "Tuscan" styled mall in Scottsdale is where Brittany's mom must shop.

And the rug totally rocks.

Now in New York, the pattern will be drawn in Dogshit and Junkie Blood, making it that much better...

It must be the southwest. During my first trip of 3 (all with the greatestish band in Seattle) to Vegas, I was also amazed/aghast/dizzied by the MGM's carpet. Have fun in NY.

Whenever I read any of Megan's posts on Slog or Line-Out, I imagine that voice of the daughter from Family Guy screaming it out in frustration or glee, whichever of the two types of Megan posts it is.

Don't forget to take in some of Phoenix's famous and exciting, "Drive-Thru Liquor and Ammo" on your way home. Because you're never too drunk to shoot.

I love it. Great post =]

Smoke much crack chica?

Part 2 of "What the Fuck, Phoenix!?:

Worst. Post. Ever.

Just because you *can* post from your phone doesn't mean you *should* post from your phone.

I see sharks! Always observe the stars above rather than the mud below. But per personal observation - people talking on cell phones or texting invariably have downcast eyes - hence, you get to review industrial carpet and then get all pissy. Have you ever noticed the carpet at the Meridian Cineplex? Looks like something designed by Nicodemus with Parkinson's.

Megan! This is approaching mediocre! Keep it up. You'll write your way out of Isuckville by the year 3596.

Well, at least you can notch one more airport on your belt of trips East. There's a number still to go, many in equally dark red states. On the other hand, St. Louis offers some aviation history worth stopping over for, even just for two hours.

whoops, used to be you could get routed through Saint Louie when there was a TWA - that's so last century. Sorry!

Tucson > Phoenix in every way that matters.

--an ex-Tucsonan.

Carpet bombing

She can dish it out but she can't take it.

Wow! That is really dysphoric! It's like something a person would see while detoxing. The plane shapes look like bloodsucking insects trying to crawl right into people's eyeballs. Thank you for pointing out an airport to avoid.

HI I BLOG FOR THE STRANGER AND COULD OVERTHINK A PLATE OF BEANS

Isn't Sea-JFK direct like $12 on Jet Blue? What the hell are you doing in Phoenix?

And if it makes you feel and better, just know this: the sky above the airport looks very similar to the carpet under your feet. Dozens of planes, circling, waiting for a turn to land. Now look into the carpet, pick a plane you wish to be your plane, if anyone walks across it... well, everyone knows that's bad luck.

Have a good flight!

And in the real world people are still being maimed and killed everyday in a war that the pro-life asshole George W.Bush started with the support of America\'s favorite cocksucker Dan Savage. Here is an excerpt from Dan\'s article \"Say Yes To War\" October 2002

In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we\'re going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves.

@14: Yes, McSorley's is still there, and yes, it still smells like inside of a wino's asshole.

@38: Hell of LOLs to you.

@30, Yup, I see sharks, too.And I see swirling waters. Why there are swirling waters and sharks on a carpet in a Phoenix, AZ airport makes no sense to me, however. Perhaps Charles could enlighten us. Charles?

Does it have anything to do with California falling into the Pacific Ocean?

Oh my god, I want to make a carry-on bag out of that fabric. They'd blow it up on the runway!
