Sounds Like a Good Idea

"Flight attendant accused of spiking toddler's juice to stop crying... A former Northwest Airlines flight attendant is accused of putting a prescription depressant in 19-month-old girl's apple juice to stop her crying during an international flight." [more]

Maybe this technique could also be used on cell phone screamers in confined spaces.

Commuting Gabbers

Thomas, I find that the collective weight of other passengers' glares and harrumphing often silences loud talkers on the commuter train. The peer pressure is so intense that I now only whisper if I have to make a call while on the train.

Anyway... anyone else an Edward Gorey fan? Here's a web version of the Gashlycrumb Tinies.

Welcome Mr. Christmas!

Good to see Thomas "Tommy Xmas" Krueger here.

How about Barton Nguyen Mwangaza Martin? According to the Afrocentric Experience Mwangaza is Swahilli for "Light." See also the Rhyme Zone.
