I've never watched his show before. Thought the clip they showed was pretty funny. I may have to try and see it tonight. That is all.

It made me laugh too.

Is this the thread where we get to tell our airline horror stories?

I don't watch late night talk shows, but he is awesome. So un-pretentious yet still hilarious. 100x better than what Leno/Conan/Letterman have become.

Airline threads are usually where all of the militant anti-child folks like to circlejerk each other.

Hey! That's why I'm here, just waiting for someone to kick it off.

Don't bring your kids on a plane!

Ok, in all fairness- I was on a plane with a baby this weekend. It was even crying and throwing fits. But you know what? I excused it because the parents were actually nice and... wait for it... apologetic.

Seriously parents, you're causing a lot of problems with your kids. Understand it and maybe people won't have such a problem.

Tresser: hrm.....seems i dropped something

Naw, the filter strips off tags if they're right next to a swear word. It's weird.

Two plugs for Delta so far this week.
Nice

Alacritous: Craig is awesome. I'm hoping to go see his standup in Edmonton in January. He's doing a show at the River Cree Casino. Just in time for my birthday.

I'll see you there.

Well, here's a bedtime story for the two of you. This happened to a buddy of mine two years ago.

He's flying back on a charter from Puerto Vallarta to Calgary. As you might expect, there are occasionally people on such holiday flights from Mexico that have acquired 'digestive issues' as a result of their indiscriminate consumptive behaviour while on vacation.

Not long after take-off, one such man inadvertently loses containment. In his pants, in his seat. The stench and the mess is so awful, that they divert the plane and land in Mazatlan. There, the guy is taken off the flight. Not only that, but a crew comes on board, unbolts the seat from the floor, and takes the whole thing out. A few mea culpas and a can of febreeze later, and the plane is back on it's way.

You baby haters are ridiculous. Both you and the parents are in the same boat (or plane, in this car), you both have to endure a screaming baby. The difference is you don't have to feel embarrassed, you don't have to take any personal responsibility in trying to solve the baby's problem, and you don't have to suffer the pain of having empathy for the pain of a loved one.

Put on some f*cking headphones and listen to the crappy music on your fancy iPhone Touch.

craig is great. that is all.

Craig Ferguson may be about the last person to piss off. It's not that he has a TV show, it's that he's just got the wit to shame you to the end of time.

Winner: Fergus.

/love that guy
//Carson would've loved him, too.
///As generous as Letterman, but without the midwestern inferiority masked as irony

Rapmaster2000: I actually considered if the kid was retarded because of his nonstop incoherence and his mother's complete inaction.


We can all agree retards are the worst flying companions.

UnrepentantApostate: I think most of the annoyance at children is actually reserved for parents that don't do anything about it.

I agree. It's a combination of that factor or the parents who seem to think that it is cute or alright for their kids to act like total hellions. It's the assumption that just because you're cool with your kids disturbing you everyone should be so inclined.

I don't begrudge people for bringing kids onto planes. What other choice is there? The point Rapmaster2000 made about the distinction between infants and other children holds true, too. A crying infant bothers people because there could be absolutely nothing the parents can do to calm them down. But once a child is 5 or 6 it's time to either get that kid trained or bring out some measures to keep the kid in check.

jaylectricity: The difference is you don't have to feel embarrassed, you don't have to take any personal responsibility in trying to solve the baby's problem, and you don't have to suffer the pain of having empathy for the pain of a loved one.

If they seem to be doing that I don't have any problems with them. It's the lack of that which makes me pissed. But I feel the same way about people in regards to their pets, parents and cars.

Hrm. I was going to say that lonely elderly ladies are the worst to end up next to. About when the plane begins to taxi they'll start with how things were in 1936 and you'll land just as she's finished telling you about their latest medical procedure. Haven't ended up next to somebody truly retarded. Sat next to a few people I'd later describe as a retard but they probably weren't really retards.

/Craig's brilliant when I catch the show. too bad he's on so late.
//not so into it that I'm going to record it for later

If you bring a kid onto a plane, then I feel it is your responsibility to keep that kids behavior within reason. If your kid won't be quiet on an airplane, try some of this:

Just found this, and it's just a fantastic portrayal of Craig Ferguson. He talks about a very personal time of his own life, but yet keeps it funny. A must watch, if you will!
