Flying has achived a massive level of bordom for me. Sometimes I get the odd incident like being told to assume the crash position. But I've had that happen on only one of the 150 flights I've taken. I have come to loathe people in the security line.
Fine with homosexuality? Then you don't need to tell your kids, explicitly, that they're gay, but you can just describe them as two men who love each other and sleep in the same bed (like mom and dad).
They sleep in separate beds actually. But they would fit the "Old New York gay couple" stereotype pretty well if the were gay.
I always remembered them sleeping in the same bed.
A quick Googling suggests that they did at one point in the past.

Today I got a Charity Mugger to tell me I was a great person and to "keep up the good work!". Outwitting people who are paid to make you feel bad in an effort to extort money makes me feel like a big man.

Oh god yes.
I don't even fly that often. Maybe three times a year.
But for fucks sake this process isn't hard. Put your shit on a tray, put your shoes on a tray, open your laptop bag, and step through the fucking metal detector.
Don't wait until you're right up at the fucking metal detector to take your shoes of. Don't stand in front of the metal detector looking stupid. If there's an open spot on a conveyor belt, fucking take it.
Also people who stand in the check-in line looking stupid when there's a dozen open self-check-in kiosks and two airline reps ready to help you need to get kicked. I have no shame about just going up to somebody looking confused and pointing them towards and kiosk and saying, "Hey, you can check in over there" (even though what I'm thinking is "you goddamn moron how did you even make it out of the house this morning?")

Hm, all I can find are pictures of them in "E" and "B" beds.
Hamil is my favorite joker, his voice just makes the character come alive. I really don't think I would have enjoyed the original animated series without him and conroy, and ron pearlman who did every random thugs voice on that show.

Oh, and after you go through the metal detector, grab your shit as best you can and go sit down with it. Don't stand there in front of the metal detector to put your shoes and belt back on. You can walk twelve fucking steps in your socks.

Hobby used to have an "expert" flyer lane. One which was for frequent flyers. Quick observation told me to use any other line because they moved faster.

I was sad to discover he's retiring the character.
I don't think he's going to voice the joker in the new batman game.
That's sad, because he works so well with the guy that voices Bruce. I see those two being friends irl

If I owned an airport, I would hire you to run it with an iron fist.
And if there isn't room for your bag in this overhead compartment, use the next one. You don't HAVE TO use the overhead compartment directly above you. There's a whole plane full of overhead compartments! Stop playing fucking Tetris with other people's bags, you're not going to find an interdimensional rift into which you can magically fit your bag.

I heard Conroy is also stepping down, though Diedrich Bader isn't a bad batman either (just you know I keep expecting him to check out this chick on channel 9).
I can understand Hamil, I heard doing the voice is hard on his vocal chords and honestly its also time to let someone else step up.

And yes to this, there are few things more infuriating to me than when I have tucked my shit away and then some moron in my row takes out MY bag and starts trying to shove it in the compartment in every fucking direction.
Hey asshole, I put my bag in the way I was told and there's no room for yours. Move along.

Okay, but on the flipside, fucking expert flyers that are constantly fucking cutting you off in line, getting in your way just as much, bringing huge fucking carry on bags that damn near take up an entire overhead because "they don't want to lose their luggage", putting shit under your seat so that it hits your heels, bitching about everything, reclining their chair to max point causing your tray to slope, and just generally being arrogant assholes...
I hate being reminded every time I enter a US airport that the fourth amendment is dead
I hate doing idiotic shit like taking off my boots and emptying my bags, which are all pointless and ineffective
What exactly are they supposed to be protecting anyone from? Customs are one thing, I get that, when I'm entering a new country. That I can understand. But if I'm flying within a country, what is the point?

The TSA handles baggage screening either via it's personel or through contractors. Airports are in charge of their own physical security including the runways, but baggage is the TSA's issue.

Could have been also good, but Curry always sounds like Curry. I mean until someone told me Hamil was joker I didn't believe it. When you see him in a voice acting session you can see he's putting some effort into it.
I wonder what billy west thinks of Hamil, technically he was a known actor prior to the batman cartoon, but I don't think he got Joker on his name power alone.

I think the next Batman game is the last time he is doing the Jokers voice. At least that is my memory of it. Man it better be good as a fond farewell to the best Joker laugh. When I read Batman comics with the Joker including Killing Joke and the like it is Mark Hamil's Joker I hear.

We need to use computers to capture conroy and hamils voice so that they can be used for all animated instances of batman and the joker.
Today I got a Charity Mugger to tell me I was a great person and to "keep up the good work!". Outwitting people who are paid to make you feel bad in an effort to extort money makes me feel like a big man.
Need more details.
I was in the train station earlier and a very young gentleman in a suit accosted me. He asked me where I was going, so I told him I was heading to work. He asked what I did, I told him I was a research scientist. This impressed him, so he asked for details. By now I'd read his ID tag, so I knew he was working for the Red Cross. I explained that I work on cancer detection and prevention. He shook my hand. He then asked if I was funded by charity. I explained that project funding for this type of work usually came from charities, but that right now, the work was unfunded, but we carried on because we do what we must. He spoke briefly about the Red Cross before he himself ventured the point that if my work wasn't funded it was unlikely I would be giving to charity. I said no, he shook my hand again, told me I was a great person and then shouted after me to keep it up.
If I'd not been tired, I'm wondering if I could have got him to sign up a monthly donation to a cancer research charity.
Also, nothing I said was actually a lie. It was just a rather oblique presentation of the truth.

I wish what's her name hadn't overdosed... (brittany murphy, just remembered) because when she got in shape after clueless she would have made a fantastic Harley Quinn. She had the looks and the voice to pull it off
You know I would say that Hamil could of played a really good live action Joker as well. But we will never know. Also the Joker's theme music from TAS was classic.

You're lucky if someone can name anything Hamill has done besides Star Wars and Corvette Summer really. And people only know about Corvette Summer because it's the "Hey look at this crap movie Hamill was in" movie.
