The W-file Version of Fun Times with Airport Security
My claim to fame over the past few months has been about how my slovenly appearance led to me being considered as a potential flight threat. Madman Aadisht had his own take on what I went through and circulated it as part of a bigger email that contains interesting tidbits and snippets of life in general. Here's what he had to say. ----- [...]
The Tale of the Hitched Simian
I have very few close friends, though my facebook friends tally indicates that I have close to 900 people that would be considered as social networking pals.
