THE CONSERVATIVE HIPSTERS

I LOVE the word "douchebag".

I don't often use it in its literal context (do the ladies still douche? I thought that was passe?), but I think its hilarious as an insulting name to throw at someone that deserves it.

In any event, I thought I would pass along a recent experience that perfectly illustrates what I believe a "douchebag" is.

I was on a short flight in the US this morning. This guy was already in his seat (not a problem), reading the sports section. His arms were streched out so he not only took his armrest, but he also took mine.

Then, during the in-flight "meal" service (if you can call it that - OJ and animal crackers), he insisted on getting a water and an orange juice. When the steward accidently gave him only one, he sniffed "Excuse me! Excuse me! I asked for water AND orange juice!!" until the male stewardess gave him one.

Then, heaven forefend, our row were passed over when the animal crackers were handed out. Not only did he repeatedly raise his hand exclaiming "Excuse me!" for all to hear, he repeatedly pushed the call thingy to get the airline folk to come even more quickly.

All the while, he was waching ESPN on the airline TV screen and snorting/laughing throughout.

On, and he was a Buffalo Bills fan.

Voila - a douchebag. Wonder no more, my friends. Thought I'd share.

P.S. Q is a douchebag. He's certainly not posting, so I thought I'd see if he's actually reading. Way to step up your game, boyo.
