One thing I remember from when I was a little kid was whenever you got on a plane the flight attendants would pin those wings onto you and it was just some novelty that was pretty cool.  Over the past week I've been on a few planes and none of the kids got their wings, did airlines stop doing this?  It's not really a big deal it just sucks that new younger kids won't experience the joy of getting their wings haha, they alway remind me of that move Fat Camp, such a great movie lol.

yeah that pisses me off that my kids won't be able to have that pleasure. They probably somehow found it as a safety hazard.

ha that reminds me of a story..sorry that it doesn't have anything to do with this thread but here it goes

so I was in the locker room at my hill and hungry as fuck after an epic pow day, I am arguing/trying to make a deal with my friend to get a dollar for a cookie. this really nice old lady gave me her granola bar, and then I came back with a cookie and as soon as I did that she was going to offer me her sandwich..I really wanted that sandwich

the movie is actually called Heavy Weights.  It's incredible, and Ben Stiller is amazing.

And I remember the wings.  Someone should ask for a pair soon, then let us know how it goes.
