    I'm ready. I'm even many rows up the plane already. If you have any kind of shoulders on you, and are flying on 2-4 hour hops, even coast to coast in US sometimes, the window seats on those smaller planes don't cut it. Your shoulder is hunched the whole flight, and if you are an old geezer like me, you go lame. Younger days, I didn't mind and agree there is more peace stuffed into the window. Weirdly, the middle seats are often the best. No shoulder cramp from the convex fuselage curve, no aisle walkers and carts knocking your other shoulder, and sometimes the seats, on certain planes, are outfitted to be at least an inch or more wider. Then again, I sometimes just suck it up and stand in the back of the plane til everyone's on and take the most open seat left…forward. The engine noise at the rear is brutal.
    @mclaincausey:

    Opinion: aisle seats are lame. Only thing lamer is a middle seat. I wanna lean against the fuselage while I sleep and to not be awoken by the old chap with the enlarged prostate. Since I'm a piss camel I'm not worried about getting out. But come time to leave the plane that isle asshole better be ready.

        Flying, I just wanna drink and stare out the window. The experience isn't usually a great one for me, so just leave me the hell alone. Cass is scared to death of flying though, so thankfully this isn't a normal thing.

          I fucking love flying, solitude with booze and an entertainment screen is like my idea of heaven.

            I will never enter a plane in my life. Basically anything that goes up in the air can go fuck itself. Wasps, balloons, Superman, planes,… Only exception is birds. Birds fucking rule. And bumblebees.

            Other than that: fuck off.

              @Giles:

              I feckin hate, really feckin hate Christy soles….

              Yep.  They may have a purpose, but then again, so do orthopedic shoes.  I'm not gonna wear them by choice.

              @Megatron1505:

              I really like Rafas but never saw the fuss about Road Champs at all.

              Yep.  Something about the proportions; they're distinctive, just not appealing.

                The pressure changes cause me nothing but pain, I'll pass. It's not actual flying that's the issue, prior to injuries I quite enjoyed it

                        I prefer the aisle seat.  Then again, I'm not a camel by any stretch of the imagination.  But really, I prefer it so I can sometimes stretch my long legs out into the aisle, or get up whenever I want.  I get way too restless sitting still for long periods of time.

                          I understand what they are good for, and if you need them for that, cool.  BUT why fuck up a perfectly good pair of boots by putting a Christy on when it is not needed......?

                          Weird this came up today. Went arse over tit turning a corner while running after my 5 year old (he loved it) this morning and cursed the shit out of my Christy soles. Was actually wondering WHY they're so widely used? Giles, you seem to know what they're good for….well what?!

                            According to the Vibram website it provides stability, grip and a rugged American look, with cushioning.

                              @Fergz and Mcclain…see your respective points, just wondering where all this liberated and flourishing creativity is hiding?!

                                I like the look, but GRIP?! I must have a faulty five pairs….

                                  The Christy sole was designed for workers who are on their feet all day (hence the cushioning). It really is kind of an orthopedic sole.

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    But how do they actually manage to STAY on their feet? Work involving no forward, backward or sideway movement….

                                      Haha maybe it's for assembly line workers who stand in the same place

                                        So we're supposed to look like crap.  Well done, America.  Well done.

                                          I think the Black Keys are overrated.
