Then she wouldn't want to read about me at the Palms buffet.

A foot rest would be great if they did that. ^

Nice looking seat, too bad it'd never get through the CO weight-weenies. I'm guessing those seats are significantly heavier than the CO versions.

It's the most comfortable Domestic F seat I've sat in...

The ex-SQ/ex-AT 752's that (SkyTeam partner) flies from LAX-KOA has those footrests and I found them entirely unusable. Then again, I'm 6'2".

Robot Chicken
 
I've been telling people for years how awesome a show Robot Chicken is. Seth Green is an absolute genius....here's why: http://www.adultswim.com/video/?epis...1c9b731b7400bc

I'm 6'1", and found the KQ legrests usable and comfortable.

I know what you mean. At about 6’5” I found the foot rests on CO’s 757’s to be more of a hindrance to me than anything. The footrest on the 777 did keep me from sliding off the seat, but only if I lay in a semi-fetal position in the chair.

More Robot Chicken silliness for those of you who like the original Transformers (not the overdone CGI thing that's in the movies now)

We are at the top of the food chain, they are not. End of story. :D

I'll worry about the pain inflicted on the animal kingdom at the point when it comes full circle. When the cows evolve opposable thumbs, walk upright, develop a language, and then proceed to confine and feed humans to grow and subsequently kill us for meat, I'll get worried. In the meantime, I think the North Koreans present a slightly larger threat.

I've never heard that term before, so I plugged "ethical vegetarian" into Wiki...it redirected me to the article titled "Ethics of eating meat". A subhead of that article is, and I quote: Argument that plant consumption also kills animals.

If you don't eat flesh, and you don't eat plant matter, what do you subsist on as a human? People that are bothered by plants and animals only have one solution...they obviously have an electrical outlet installed next to their colon.

(And I've told myself that I would not be a successful standup comic.)

If you fly (SkyTeam partner) into or out of LAX, you should be on the lookout for Betty in The Sky with a Suitcase.
