SC Bound

I'm at O'Hare airport and this place is america at its worst. I'm flying united and at the check-in kiosk they tried to sell me no less that 4 different things -- first class seats, united "economy plus" (30 bucks), expedited security line (40), and a few other things that were so retarded I repressed them from my memory. Look, I'm claustrophobic and somewhat loose with my money but there's no way 6 inches of extra leg room is worth 30 bones. I'll spend 5 dollars on modern pharmaceuticals and pass the fuck out.
So I have my golf clubs with me and I'm a bit paranoid about getting charged a ton for it. First checked bag is 15 bucks. If it's over 50 lbs it's 125 (no joke) and if it's "oversized" it's 175. Christ, these clubs might be both. I place my bag on the scale and ask if it's over 50lbs. They guys says "yes it is." Fuuuuuuck. Then he says he's kidding and "just wanted to see the look on my face." Thanks, airport dude, I'm pretty sure that's how people get shot.
After some other moderate to severe annoyances, I'm posted up with a 8 dollar beer in front of me that's really worth so much more.
So, I'm off soon. I may do some "live blogging" though I'm not sure how much will be fit for your christian ears.

Til then!
