TexASS

[Drunk Monk]

My flight home was miserable.  I thought I might get some sleep.  But I got the lucky seat in front of the family with the two screaming toddlers.  Nearly four hours of screaming.  The mom was smacking them.  The kids were kicking the seats, running through the aisles, causing mayhem for everyone.  When we hit a bout of turbulence, I know everyone was thinking 'if only it would bounce those kids off the ceiling'.  

But that's just air travel nowadays. 

My parting thoughts on this year's DallASS trip follow:

Everywhere I went there was MMA on TV and guys with gun shirts, mostly rifle ranges/gun clubs and full-auto product endorsements, plus a few 'open carry' advocates.

Food sucks for vegetarians.  I wound up eating at a BBQ joint at one point - their veggie plate was three sides.  Actually, that was one of my better meals.

DFW is the most oppressive overblown airport in the world.  Hate. That. Place.

African Americans work a lot of subservient jobs like janitors, wait-staff, drivers.  When you say 'hi' or 'thank you', they are really grateful to be acknowledged, because so few bother with such simple courtesies.  

They perfume their AC in many hotels.  I think this is to cover up their general stink.  

Texans are really big and really fat.
