I'm back, or "Thank you for flying with SW Airline"
Ashikaga
Anyways, I got back from southern California, and the trip was pleasant, I
suppose. However, during the return trip via air (my father insisted that
I shouldn't drive..., even though travel through plane is more dangerous
than my driving skill), I noticed something rather strange. Instead of
seeing the usual /experienced/ stewardess or a gay steward, I found an
overweight stewardess and a chubby steward (plus a young and charming
stewardess). I mean..., how come there is a guy steward now who is not gay
or awfully suspiciously so?
I guess it's okay that he was chubby, since body size shouldn't be used to
judge one's qualification. But to my surprise, he was not very qualified
either. He couldn't do the pre-flight gesture very well (you know, that
safety pointing everywhere thingy). I wonder how he had got the job. I
even wonder if he enjoyed his job (he didn't give me that impression).
Just a thought that bothers me very much....

So... you're bothered that there was a male flight attendant on the
plane that *wasn't* gay?

Really, the only reasonable theory I can come up with is that Ashi got
shot down.

Because it's wasn't typical that an airplane that has fat servers on it. I
thought they would not hire anyone but skinny people because of fuel and
stuff. Though it's ridiculous, but I thought that was the way they
qualified people.
How could I know he wasn't gay? Well, there is no direct proof, but the
last time I was on the plane the gay attendant was like flirting! This one
didn't pay attention to people and didn't even care if his gesture was
correct or not. The other one took pride in doing all the gestures as best
as he could (while still checking people out...). But of course, the
flirting part is a more accurate indicator.

Maybe. I had a feeling he wasn't a regular part of the crew. And for some
odd reason, he was reminiscent of you (like a younger version of you, but
with acne marks on the face and stuff). Maybe that's the disturbing part.
But then, lots of San Jose people look like you, because that's just a
typical face of a computer engineer.

Hmm.... I am reading between the lines again.... :-/ Anyways, who is
Ron Jeremy?

Because it's typical to have a gay steward, but I've never seen a male
attendant who wasn't gay or suspiciously so. It's like have you ever seen
a cosmetic guy in a department store who wasn't gay (or gay-acting)? Isn't
that weird? Even a guy from my class who was working for a major airline
appeared to be so also (though I thought he was an aircraft technician).
Maybe the non-gay steward was making a political statement. Nah! :-D I
think it's just because the job is so hard to find nowadays.
> *cues Freud, or Polychromatic, whichever comes first*
It's a common mistake people call Poly Polychromatic. If we all called him
that, then maybe it'll became his real name. :-D

BTW, fat is not a very nice term, Poly. People don't call other people fat
anymore. When you hear someone saying something similar to fat, they are
actually saying the person is "phat." Weird world, huh?
BTWx2, I am very bad at telling who is gay or not for some odd reason. I
wouldn't know the guy who worked in Abercrombie Kids was gay if he wasn't
like blushing his face off. I wonder where is he now. Maybe he got fired,
because his co-worker saw it when he did that. Or maybe some parents
didn't like a gay person working in the kids section.

Shot down? What do you mean by that (in this context)?

Somehow I got the feeling you are getting angry, so I won't make fun of you
in this post. Yes, I knew you hate euphemisms, so I was just poking fun.
Sorry if I went overboard.
Anyways, I don't like rap, but sometimes I've heard black people call other
phat, but most of all, I've heard other students used that term.

It's interesting that it's you (instead of many other people) who are
lecturing me on this issue, since you are the one who keep telling me I am
the fru fru one. But no, I wouldn't spend too much on the witch hunt.
It's rather stupid, and I should do what you suggested. Sorry if I
offended you or anybody else. It's supposed to be very funny. Perhaps
it's just my high school and age group, people like to speculate who is gay
or not, and I was usually the one who got burned on the stake. But after a
while, this kind of stuff began to sound kind of funny.
But you are right, the co-worker was indeed a woman. Guys don't fire other
guys for being gay, since we won't tell this kind of things to boss.

Ah, no wonder I've never heard of it, because I've never made a sexual
pass, therefore, no chance to be shot down.

But how could you recognize a porn star? Sometimes a link would take me to
a porn link, but I wouldn't read it through to know the names of the stars.

I am going to tell your mom all about it. :-p LOL! Not really.

Cute.
My own cat, Amy Thest, likes to mangle things too, when she has the
opportunity. :)
