Didn’t a comedian just do this joke? I’m trying to remember who, but it seems familiar enough to almost be cliched….
Probably Carlos Mencia, the only person ever to think he could get away with stealing jokes from the internet.
There’s also that new idiot on Comedy Central — Tosh, something like that — who seems to be trying out yet another “YouTube on TV” concept.
Daniel Tosh. And the lame-duck show is called “Tosh.0″
Oh, if you want to watch a truly annoying ‘comic’, check out Russell Brand. Man that guy is a wanker..
You are so right.
“if you want to watch a truly annoying ‘comic’”
Ed… why would we want to do that? There’s only one member of the BDSM community here, and he tends more to be a giver than a receiver!
You wouldn’t but trust me; Brand makes the most annoying right-winger on here look like a viable dinner companion!
Well, PM, BDSM aside, some people do get a thrill at being annoyed. You have to admit I’m right on that one..
Nuh-uh. Not only one.
Three.
I recognize that truck/plane – it’s the flight that crashed into the Hudson a while back. I saw that truck pulling the plane through Journal Square in Jersey City and put a pic of it up on my myspace. Too bad I didn’t think of that clever caption.
Finally, you can get air sick and car sick at the SAME TIME!!!
Oh, MAN! And I can get each separately, already! x_x
I fscking hate Southwest Airlines. I refuse to fly any airline where I’m treated like cattle. And if their not bad enough, down this way we have an airline called VirginBlue.. the seats are so close togther you can’t even put your legs in front of you.

If I can’t fly at least economy plus, I’m not going (although I usually manage to get business class.)
*they’re*
I live in a city that’s not served by Southwest, and although I’ve heard some pretty negative things about their service, I’d gladly be treated like cattle to fly for the ticket prices they offer. But then, I’ve been accused of being a real tightwad.
They’re getting better. They’ve started ordering people based on when they check in, not when they get to the airport, so provided you can check in precisely 24 hours in advance (or find one of the rapidly disappearing services to do it for you automatically), seat selection isn’t such a problem. (Or you can just pay a full fare — still pretty cheap — and get a guaranteed spot at the head of the line and a free drink.)
Still, given the choice, I’d rather fly JetBlue.
I don’t have that option, either!
southwest is great over here on the west coast… as long as you’re only flying from LA to SF… last time i took that flight i got three free drinks and sat in business class for free… any flights longer than two hours i would not fly on them… fly jetblue instead… or virgin america…
Southwest doesn’t have business class seating.
Yeah, I’ve flown SW many, many times and there’s only one class, cattle herd. LOL That being said, I don’t have any problem flying SW. I’ve flown with them many times before without any real issue. But I probably have low standards. LOL
Actually, SW does have business class. It’s not a special seat, but you get on the plane before anyone else and get free drinks and what-not, like no cancellation fee, etc.
Yes, but there’s no special *seating*. So ubr’s claim that he “sat in business class” is incorrect.
Typical ubr…he tries so hard, but he only gets it mostly right. (I was actually kind of hoping he’d come back and do the whiny “nuh uh” dance he usually does when he’s proven wrong.)
Southwest is awesome, but you didn’t sit in Business class. Theres no such thing on Southwest. Its all open seating
When Soutwest first started up they were pretty good. But, over time they have gone downhill. I much prefer United (especially since I have a truckload of frequent flyer miles). They’re international flights are pretty good too, but I would much fly either Singapore Air or Emirates.
My family and I just flew USAirways, and we kept repeating “wish we were on Southwest”. Yep, it’s cattle. Yep, it’s tight. But no tighter than any other coach class, they don’t charge for the first bag, and they’re usually close to on time. AA always acts like they’re doing you a favor to let you on their planes. USAir and Delta don’t seem to mind if you’re wretchedly late. To each his own, of course, but no US airline is much better than Southwest.
No. UA’s int’l flights are never good, not the one that matters to me, at least. It’s been delayed every year I remember flying it. This year it was swine flu (“Paging passenger **** Shek, please go to Quarantine immediately. Thank you.” “We have a confirme)
(d case of H1N1 flu on the inbound flight. Please be patient while we decontaminate the aircraft.” )If it weren’t for a helpful UA rep I would have been stuck overnight at Chicago.
I’ve been flying UA regularly for the last 10 years with at least three international flights a year and the only time I was delayed was because of a mechanical malfunction. We pulled back into the gate and waited for another plane to be brought in.
Southwest rarely actually has the lowest fares. It’s based on media perspective… That company has done more to the detriment of the airline industry and service than most other low cost airlines combined.
Years ago when I was living in California, we had a regional called PSA. I think they are the one’s that Southwest modelled their company on as they used to have the same fares as PSA.
-
For what it’s worth, PSA sucked as well. But as long as you were flying from L.A. to either San Diego or San Francisco it wasn’t that bad.
Of course. They should have been forced to make the same poor management decisions as the legacy carriers, in order to level the playing field.
Post-deregulation competition just isn’t fair, dontcha know…
How, exactly?
We have Virgin America now. It seems to be better than Virgin Blue, but uber-crappy selection of destinations. Luck of the draw?
But they have the best and most cleanly articulated “fat policy” in the industry.
Thats a US Airways plane in the picture…
One internet for having a keen sense for the obvious.
However, don’t we take away five for them failing to understand the ‘Southwest Airlines is cheap’ dig?
Only if it’s in a thread. Since this was a stand alone comment (otherwise known as a hit and run), they get to keep their internets. But, lest there be any doubt, one false move and we get to claim all the internets they possess!
That’s the US Airways plane that went into the Hudson River after multiple birdstrikes.
um , DUH!
And one internet for you as well for sharing a keen sense for the obvious with pooper.
Well, to be fair, the line “What is happening in the picture? Tell us in the Comments” is clearly visible under the picture.
True, but I’m pretty sure 99% of the people can figure it out on their own. It wasn’t so much Foamer saying, “That’s the US Airways plane that went into the Hudson River”, it was the “after multiple birdstrikes” that I was referring to. You would have be living in a cave not to know why the US Airways plane went down.
i didn’t know why
That truck is pretty clearly driving on the wrong side of the road.
Technically, I think it’s driving down the center stripe! I suspect the road’s closed and they’ve got an escort. The similar-looking truck in the background to the right probably has a wing on it.
That may be when the plane bits were moved to Kearny, NJ for salvage. That looks like OnenNine(US 1 and US 9).
that’s becasue a muslim raghead is driving it!!!!
Pointless fail.
Fined 2 internets.
I say take them all for being a douch..
I don’t think he had any left to begin with. All your internets are belong to us!
Spoken like a man who clearly has no idea just how difficult a job it is hauling what we Brits call an “abnormal load”, particularly in an urban area.
Right there he’s probably trying to avoid taking out the hanging traffic signals at the intersection he’s passing through.
Naw, it’s Air France’s new, safer Airbus. Air. Bus. Voila!! Not sure how it does water segments, though.
that is a fake picture made by clip art from different picture i can see it
I think you better get your monitor checked.
This is why sometimes searching the Internet from your tiny little phone is a bad idea. LOL
Em, even if you were right in the specific instance, you’d still be wrong in principle; this is exactly how airliner fuselages are moved by road, which does happen occasionally.
$10 for the fair, $20 for airport tax, $20 for checking, $15 per item for hold baggage, $50 for airline “food”, $2 per visit for use of the, ah, facilities on board…
Southwest != Ryanair…
Southwest != Ryanair… – Error. No function is visible for the operation “airline != airline”.
Did you mean Southwest /= Ryanair? If so I’ll give you that, but I was flaming “all exclusive” airline ticket pricing in general, not Southwest in particular.
No, I meant “!=”, as that is the standard notation. I don’t care what VB calls it.
Why would you flame all-exclusive ticket pricing on a thread that references the most all-inclusive airline operating in the US? Your comment doesn’t make any sense.
No it isn’t: the standard notation is /=, because it contains both the elements of the mathematical ≠ sign. Just for the record, this applies to Ada, BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, VB(A), and at least 5 varieties of Job Control Languages. Clue in the very Adaesque way I wrote the error message.
I think != is seen as more standard for noting inequality, simply for C-related languages being more common today (for a given value of common).
(And btw, functional languages like Haskell and iirc SML also use the /= notation.)
You’re trying to convince me of the commonality of something by referencing *Ada*? And Basic? Really? You realize none of those “languages” have anything approaching pedigree, yes?
I can understand why a C monkey would think they don’t. But arguing “no pedigree” to someone who has cited 6 (arguably 7) application languages some of which have history back to the 1950s… [rolleyes]
You seem to be confusing pedigree with age. Allow me to disabuse you of that misconception.
For example, Haskell, which Danbala mentioned, has pedigree. Lisp *is* pedigree. Ada, Cobol, Fortran, and your embedded languages are merely old. (As for the rest of your list: Pascal is a toy; Basic is a toy for special children; and VB et al is an unpolished turd.)
If Ada is in fact your language of choice, I’m guessing your recent retirement has left you with a lot of time on your hands. I recommend reviewing your conceptual roots.
Southwest is awesome when you fly out of DAL.
The only awesome thing about flying out of DAL is the fact that you’re flying out of DAL and not into DAL.
I may be wrong, but isn’t that how they moved Elvis Presley’s airplane down the street to Graceland?
Oh, I thought that’s how they moved Elvis..
ITS A TRANSFORMER
I am worried about the size of my dheriuf
