When pigs fly. This week’s sign of the collapse of civilization: Wednesday, an “emotional support pig” was kicked off a U.S. Airways flight for being disruptive.

  • If you ain't grown up enough to fly without an animal for support, you have no fuc**ing business getting on a commercial flight. What if there's an emergency? Your support animal is just another object I will have to throw out of my way to get to the exit/jagged hole in the fuselage.

  • That's funny, when I bring along my emotional support blonde, they just charge me for an extra seat.

  • I sure hope they don't bar me from my next flight for bringing my emotional support tarantulas when I travel. I need at least half a dozen to sit on my lap to remain calm.

  • I didn't click, very afraid... but if that's "The Trouble With Tribbles" clip, I may just have to hop a plane to the Great Northwest after the Holiday rush and buy you an adult beverage or three.

    [edit] sorry, leftover residuals from THE GAME, that was aimed @ RKae

  • I was on a flight where a woman had a big Golden at her feet. She was middle seat and wanted the window guy to step over the dog to get to his seat. Sure, I'm going to crotch a big dog in a confined space.

    The woman wasn't blind or any other visible disability, so after we landed I asked her if she was training the dog. She replied that they dog was actually her companion to help her with her anxiety and stress of flying. She seemed like a twit so I said,

    "You know what makes flying a lot less stressful? Not flying with an 80lb dog."

    I'm worse than 'That Guy', I'm "That Other Guy"- his more jack-assy cousin.

    • 21-21 now, which is way better than I expected Michigan to do. But I'm not sure I want them to do well - I want the idiot coach gone, following the idiot AD out the door. I'm afraid if Michigan beats Ohio State, the coach will save his job.

      • Wisconsin-Minnesota in a good old fashioned good one to see who plays for the big10 championship. Don't care who wins but great football...
