    Why on earth would Gabe and Tycho ride economy? I can regularly find trans-pacific flights for $1,500 in economy, but business class is only about $5,500. I don't pull down the cash that Gabe and Tycho do with PAX but even I have to seriously consider business class on those 15 hour flights.

    The best part about this comic is that if you get rid of the middle panel it's actually funnier.

  • DjiemDjiem Registered User regular
    And if you put that middle panel at the end, it just looks like they're having a normal (for them) conversation.

    Wormspeaker: I don't think I'd pay the extra 4,000 even if I had it laying around! $4000 for a more comfortable 15 hours seems crazy to me.

    Was this Make a Strip or the Q&As recorded anywhere? I know they were on the PAX twitch before, but they're not highlighted or exported to YouTube yet I guess.

    Their first Q&A is right at the beginning of http://www.twitch.tv/pax/b/583904060 like about 2-3 minutes into the VOD. That's about as far as I've gotten so far, so can't help with make a strip, etc.

    Turns out that most of the make a strip is right after that first Q&A for some reason even though they were on different days. Good call.

    Getting away with masturbating on an airplane is some tricky shit, believe you me.

    It's actually really easy if you have the right gear, all which can be found right on the plane!

    1 snack size can of Pringles
    1 pair of ear buds
    Tissue or moist towelettes

    Wrap the tissue into a tube that will be a snug fit for your penis. Secure with ear buds cable. Insert into Pringles can.
    Lower your tray table and slide the can on top. Use some olive oil from the olive & cheese snack offered on some flights if needed.
    When done, simply invert can and close top; no mess.

    this plan ignores the part where the tray doesn't block vision from the side.

    Nor does it block your obvious jacking or humping motions.

    And man, what fancy flights are you going on that have Pringles cans and moist towelettes?

    Virgin Air, of course.

    Then I don't think that you have ever been on a 15 hour flight before. I do 12 to 16 hour flights (depending on the specific itinerary) every year. I like to vacation in South East Asia. So it's a super long flight from the East Coast of the US. I can tell you that it takes me a whole year to forget how horrible the experience is. (And it'll be 30 hours, because you get another 15 hours on the return trip.) This year I'm considering if it is even worth it to fly if I don't go business class. I wouldn't pay for first class, because $10,000 is way out of my budget, but an extra $4,000 to have an enjoyable flight instead of a 15 hour torture session each way? I think that just might be worth it.

    And in Mike and Jerry's case, they can write the cost of the flight off their taxes as a business expense.

  • DjiemDjiem Registered User regular
    I've been on a 10 and a 13 hour flight in economy, and it sucked, but never to the point that I'd pay an extra $4,000 just to be a bit more comfy. $4,000 isn't the kind of money you find in your pocket when you pull out and empty your coat for the winter season.

  • joshofalltradesjoshofalltrades Class Traitor Smoke-filled roomRegistered User regular
    The trick to 15-hour-long flights is to treat the time as if you are actually in the country of your destination. If it's night there, you sleep, if it's day, you stay up. Even if that means you sleep or stay awake an extra long period of time. Lots of people try to just sleep through most of the flight regardless, which is an excellent way to get jet lagged.

    And man, if you consider 15 hours in economy torture, I wonder what you would consider the methods of transportation people used to use before you could hop onto a modern mechanical marvel and soar majestically through the air on a trip that would have taken you months of your life a mere century ago.

    The answer is worse torture. But most people didn't travel far before the invention of trains. Every form of travel before trains would have to stop every couple hours for the horses or other animals to rest and be watered. So you would have some time to get out of the stage coach and walk around. Trains on the other hand have sleeping cars and even the coach seats on a train are wider and more comfortable than the coach seats on a plane. Business class on an airplane is roughly equivalent to the sleeping car on a train. As for airplanes however, the seats are too narrow, there isn't enough leg room for me to unbend my knees, and there's precious little room to stand, let alone walk.

    I can't sleep on airplanes because I can never get comfortable enough. Well, that's not true. I can't sleep on the 15 hour flights. But after a 3 hour flight, a 3 hour layover, a 15 hour flight, another 3 hour layover, and then a final 4 hour flight, I finally pass out in the last hour of the last flight. (After about 27 hours of planes and airports, and usually 4 to 6 hours awake before the first flight.) So the only way I can sleep on a flight is from sheer exhaustion when my body can take no more. I haven't tried yet, but I believe I should be able to sleep in the lay flat seats they have in business class. That alone would be worth $4,000 to me.

    Dude, you have your $4000 nap, I'm buying myself 2000 chicken wings. ;-)

    I remember falling asleep on a plane once, beside a complete stranger. He was still sleeping before and after I took my nap, so I think I'm in the clear.
