Don't listen to Cail, Jay; wait for the sequal, "Kittens in a Hash Pipe"!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Hahaha. So true.Wayfriend wrote:Jay spent ... how long? ... working on his thesis. Right now, he probably thinks watching TV while lying down is an over-the-top good time. SoaP could kill him.
Anyway, I just saw Snakes today. Excellent movie. I loved it. Definitely over the top good fun. Right now, it's definitely Movie of the Year. Of course...there's not much competition. Heh.
But yeah, Samuel L. Jackson is the man.-jay

Snakes on a Plane was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
I LOVED IT!

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

2,400 smuggled snakes seized at northern Malaysian air cargo complex
Published: Tuesday, March 6, 2007 | 10:13 PM ET
Canadian Press
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Workers at a northern Malaysian airport cargo complex found 2,400 snakes of a protected species in crates bound for Hong Kong sent by smugglers in Thailand, news reports said today.
The banded rat snake - rarely found in Malaysia and protected under local laws and international wildlife treaties - is an expensive delicacy in some Asian countries, the New Straits Times and the Star newspapers reported.
Workers handling cargo at the complex near the Bayan Lepas International Airport in Penang grew suspicious when they heard hissing and "slithering sounds," the Times reported, and alerted wildlife officials.
The officials found the snakes, worth the equivalent of about C$80,000 on the market, tied up in plastic sacks in a total of 86 crates, the Times added.
The fate of the snakes was unclear in the reports. Phone calls to the wildlife department office in Penang went unanswered.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Customs officers at Cairo's airport have detained a man bound for Saudi Arabia who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a plane, airport authorities said.
The officers were stunned when a passenger, identified as Yahia Rahim Tulba, told them his carryon bag contained live snakes after he was asked to open it.
Tulba opened his bag to show the snakes to the police and asked the officers, who held a safe distance, not to come close. Among the various snakes, hidden in small cloth sacks, were two poisonous cobras, authorities said.
The Egyptian said he had hoped to sell the snakes in Saudi Arabia. Police confiscated the snakes and turned Tulba over to the prosecutor's office, accusing him of violating export laws and endangering the lives of other passengers.
According to the customs officials, Tulba claimed the snakes are wanted by Saudis who display them in glass jars in shops, keep them as pets or sell them to research centers.
The value of the snakes was not immediately known.

It's only a matter of time before Snake smugglers start hiding their cargo up their ass.
