Yeah I’ll buy a few of those. I’ve been thinking about it and it seems it’s the next logical step on not be scammed by any airline.

Again, flying these days is just an awful experience

There’s some kind of disconnect in that. There’s only one eel catcher in the whole city due to very little demand and he sells everything he catches to Holland. But this dude Gordon goes to kills 3 tons every week. Where the fuck is this guy getting all his eels and who is he selling them to?
