I am flying tomorrow - so I guess I am a holiday traveller. And I am travelling to LAX, with a six year old.

And we are planning to be slow, and take lots of pictures and be the smiley, happy Canadian stereotype.

Bring it on.

Not to mention they’re already clogging up shopping options. I need to make a Costco run in order to stock up on over-the-counter medications so that I can use up the balance in our flexplan account. I had hoped to go today, but my check hasn’t arrived in my account yet. That means I have to wait until the day after tomorrow before I can go. Yeah, right - that’s Black Friday, and you won’t catch me anywhere near a store.

As far as traveling, we’re traveling to the hockey rink this afternoon to watch the Sharks host the Black Hawks. It’s quite near the airport, but I won’t crowd things up for you - honest!

A hearty FUCK YOU to all those people still at work yesterday who created an evening rush hour that slowed me down on my vacation journey.

That actually would be a better rant then the OP. I mean, who the hell flies _on business_ the week of Thanksgiving? Anyone who does is just slowing things down for the vacationers. And with respect to highways, they’re a breeze for commuting this week, because so many people are off.

EVERYONE! ATTENTION!

The King Of The World will soon be driving on this freeway.

VACATE THE FREEWAY NOW! To give The King Of The World the right of way, as is his birthright!

To tell you the truth, everyone IS trying to go about their everyday business…even the travelers.

I’m picturing him driving around using one of [these](http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Office-WM-01-Laptop-Steering/dp/B000IZGIA8).

Yes, it’s a real product. The user pictures and comments are quite humorous.

Humorous? Those are fucking hilarious.

For those who can’t link to it, it’s a laptop desk for your steering wheel. This is my favorite comment:

> Wow is this thing great! I use it as a “mini-bar” when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate. If you swerve to the left or right the rumble strips on the road wake you up in plenty of time before you get into trouble. I can now take longer trips without being tired!

I left my office in suburban NJ last night around 6:30 dreading traffic and sailed straight in to Manhattan unimpeded. It was truly bizarre (but I’m not complaining).

Funny link, Morbo.

Yeah! Those selfish pricks for wanting to spend time with loved ones once or twice a year. Someone needs to flip you a turkey, that’s a bird right, and a big one?

Yeah, Thanksgiving is one thing…

What we should really do with December holidays is this:

Make it alphabetical. Each household decides when they celebrate their December holiday. We do A-C in January, D-F in February…

That would put the Locrian household somewhere around June celebrating Christmas, which would be fucking great since my birthday is on 12/30. Anyone who’s ever gotten a beach ball or swimsuit for their birthday, well, I’ve got 100 sleds to trade. 😃

I was born in late August, so I don’t have any bikinis or beach balls, but I’ve got some lovely school supplies for trade! Garfield pencils, anyone?

Another late August baby here. I had an aunt who would take me shopping for my birthday, and buy me new clothes for school. However, I was allowed to pick out one toy to go along with the clothes.

Yeah, right. Uh huh. I’ll take it under ummmm advisement.

It ain’t your road, it ain’t your airplane, it ain’t your transit system. I go where I please, when I please. I don’t have to stop doing things just so you can make a profit or feel some sort of entitlement. If I have to go somewhere, or just want to go somewhere, I don’t need to ask anyone’s permission.

So go piss up a rope.

_Were you born an asshole  
Or did you work at it your whole life  
Either way it worked out fine  
Cuz you’re an asshole tonight_

… The I-95 Asshole song

Oh yeah, toss the Dennis Leary song in there too, for good measure.
