I am not writing about this for any reason in particular. Airports. You can't say a thing about them that hasn't been observed from a billion sticky stages in dank comedy clubs, but every time you go to an airport, your horror is reawakened -- the monster has grown new arms and fangs. Air travel is shitty, because you're just a hot ass in a corporation's seat, and corporations learned a long time ago that if you eradicate competition, you can do whatever you want to your customers and they will keep on coming. (I think there used to be laws against monopolies, but I took history class a LONG time ago, and my notebooks were filled with doodles of coffee cups, pot leaves, and dancing bears.)
But airports are cool because you can walk around looking totally cracked-out and nobody will even look at you twice, because all travelers look like they've been mugged in an alley. And you can look totally clean but have a beard, in which case you will get probed with everything they can find in the souvenir shop. I like testing the limits of acceptable airport behavior. You can totally lie down anywhere you want, short of the metal detector or x-ray belt. You're tired, everyone's tired! You deserve a napper! You can spill things and just walk away, though that's rude to the people who have to clean it up. You can stare at people really intently, and when they notice and get creeped out, you can just unfocus your eyes and act like you're staring through them at some private travel horrorshow in your head. Try to chug as much coffee as you can, but halfway through your cup, have a coughing fit that sends hot brown foam everywhere. Nobody judges you in an airport! You are either a Bomber, or you are Not a Bomber. If you pass this test, you could put your fist in your mouth and blow starlight mints out your ass. Nobody cares. Welcome aboard! Oh, and fuck you if you believed that shit about pot leaves and dancing bears. 0 comments |
