Delta, in a bold cost-cutting move, has not only eliminated meal service, but they now show the same mediocre movie on both legs of a round-trip flight. (Currently showing: Stardust.)
Fortunately, they also provide shrink wrapped, blue, complementary blankets, which are soft to the touch, yet-somehow still uncomfortable, and so thin, you can crumple one into a fist-sized ball.
What can you do with that blue airline blanket?!?

UPDATE: For even more fun, you can try the airplane snacks balancing act!














Just reading this in a rss feed you don’t get the pictures, so after reading “What can you do…” I was thinking silly things like “Dunno, I tend to get cold on the plane, so I put the blanket over my lap…” But what a surprise once I decided to actually load the article. So I guess there’s one question left: assuming the 3rd picture down on the right is a pirate, ninjas or pirates?
(oh, and did you get any funny looks? Two questions then.)
What!…You got Oreos! I had a round-trip flight on Delta in October (eight hours total), and I didn’t get Oreos! I was actually looking forward to eating them too.
PS-Evan Almighty was the movie on both legs of that flight.
Ryan!! These are almost as bad as the photos we have of you all dressed in a vest holding the AK-47! I do believe that one is hanging in your RemedyMD cube.
I think you could have done better.. Now tell me, how many of those did your sister do, leaving you to be her experimental canvas?
Awesome shots, I’m putting them up on the “How to spot a Terrorist on an International Flight” website I’ve been putting together……
Hi Treu,
Ninjas always beat pirates!
yeah, we were getting funny looks– mainly because the camera would flash with each photo and the cabin was darkened so it must have been quite the distraction.
still, i think they were comforted knowing they were part of something bigger, something artistic. either that or they were afraid of the ninja.

Ok, so at the risk of seeming like a real human being, it’s stuff like this that qualifies you for the “Janet”‘s favorite people club.
I can chat with people on the web for you.
