With regards to the kerfuffle at the airports, this has to be one of the better rants about it so far:

All you're doing is hurting whatever causes you claim to be supporting by pissing everyone the fuck off. What, do you think that eventually we'll all be flying in hospital dressing gowns with no sharp objects (potential weapons), electronic equipment (makeshift tasers), liquids (apparently, might explode), pants (modifiable into garroting equipment), books (paper cuts are bad!) or small children (they could be encouraged to scream at a frequency that jams radio transmissions, thus allowing someone to take control of the plane), and you'll be able to open a competing airline that doesn't do all this shit but runs the risk of blowing the fuck up? Because there are better business models.

None of this shit is making us safer, it's just making us crankier. Soon, we'll be able to kill and eat terrorists, just to give us something to do. My coffee will not blow up the plane. My toenail clippers will not allow me to kill a man. There are much better ways to do that, which I will not detail here, because I don't want the FBI visiting my house.

Everyone is happier, if they have someone to look down on, as well as someone to look up to, especially if they resent both.… Christopher Moore.

Being British is about driving in an Italian car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then traveling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.

Superb :)

Fridance

A celebratory dance performed (usually at work) on Fridays to commemorate the end of the grueling work week. The dance is performed using no particular pattern or style, but often incorporates variations of “The Robot” while vocally producing Rock or Heavy Metal type sounds.

That's blackmail!
No, that's bribery.
