Greetings from Monoclesippi!
Jim Sterling | 7:20 PM on 08.30.2007 34 comments


While I am here, that is the state's new name, Monoclesippi. Yes, greetings from America, it is I, James Eruvius Delacroix Sterling and, if you couldn't tell by now, I made it here safely. I have learned already several things:

I really don't think Shrek The Third followed by Spiderman 3 make for a great in-flight movie double bill. I'm so glad I needed the sleep, because that's all one could do for such a riveting selection of entertainment.

Airline food -- believe the hype.

New York's JFK is a shitty airport, about as dead as the man its named after. None of its currency exchange stations were manned and its security people are rude. Yes, yes, I held the stupid form in my fucking mouth so I could carry everything -- I held my lips past my teeth so it was literally my face skin holding it, there was no need to hold it like it was covered in shit and ask me if I realized he had to handle it now it's been in my mouth. Lord, I wish I hadn't grinned stupidly and said sorry now. I wish I'd have said "Shut the fuck up or I'm buying a turban and coming BACK here, fuckhole!"

As connecting flights continue, the plane's quality dilapidates. However, the comfort level of the seats inside actually increases. It is a very strange phenomenon but it is worth thinking about.

Cincinnati > JFK as far as airports go.

Monoclesippi is too humid actually. Silicon Knights needs to make a game called Too Humid and sue Epic for that, for it would be a shit game.

Walmart is fucking huge!

I went into a Gamestop and two guys were playing Dynasty Warriors fucking Gundam! I impressed them by professing my love for Dynasty Warriors and am now going to check out the region encoding on that thing, because I might bring a copy home.

The legend is true -- free refills are a custom here, not a freak occurrence!

I miss the constant hanging out at Dtoid already. Hope to still provide you as much as I can though.

Hugs & Kissies,

Sir James Sterling, Esq.

The whole damn country is too humid. Except for California. And Arizona. And New Mexico. Screw the rest.
Shop somewhere besides Wal-Mart. I can't stand that place. Cheap shit's lying around and stuff.

"Shut the fuck up or I'm buying a turban and coming BACK here, fuckhole!"

And contrary to what the airport may lead you to believe, Cincinnati is not in Kentucky

On your way back, stop by Michigan. It's the only state where you can travel south to get into Canada

Mississippi is what those of us in the southern reaches of the country like to refer to as "Bumblefuck, Nowhere." There are many places that bear the name Bumblefuck. The only qualification is that landmass exists between Awesome Place A and Awesome Place B. The Awesome Places don't even have to be that awesome; just better than the place in the middle so everybody has something they can look down on.

oh, almost forgot to say, that turban thing you said "why I reposted it" was one of the funniest things I've read all day

If you ever hear "We don't take kindly to your kind around here", run. There is actually a chart that compares the thickness of the accent to how fast you should run. If I find it, I'll post it.

Jim, just don't leave. It's not like they'll come looking for you or anything.

@kwaselow,
Ever heard of Alaska?

@Corncobtacular
Yes I have. I probably should have used the word "contiguous." Then again I'm not sure if Alaska's road system actually allows you to make that drive

JFK blows, I've frequented that shithole many times. Ask Topher about, he'll give you a run down on where the best electrical outlets and the such are.

Sterling, welcome to our fucktard country. And stay away from Orcist he will grab your balls in a very uncomfortable way.

If you're laying over in JFK for too long, please hit me up and I will come visit you and wear a monocle.

There was a pig wearing a monocle down the street from PAX. Did anyone get a picture of it?

It's true, JFK is this nation's worst airport, and ranks among mankind's greatest failures overall.

I'm sorry to hear you had to set foot in the place. Odd how the most beautiful and wonderous city on the planet can play host to such a rancid fucking airport.

I'm going to keep in mind your "crappier plane = nicer seat" theory. That sounds valuable.

It's worth living in the US, just for the price of drinks. tis fuckin expensive in Europe. And no refills!

oh and the gaming industry hates Europe.

(never actually been to the UK, but I'm assuming it is similar)
