Their idiosyncrasies are like nails on a chalkboard to me and I obsess over them daily, habitually waiting for the next annoying act to start.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, how can someone clear his throat every few seconds for eight hours straight? <BR/><BR/>How can someone blow his nose so hard throughout the day that those not even remotely close to him can hear it? It sounds as if someone’s mom is holding a Kleenex up to a small child’s nose and telling him to blow with all his might.<BR/><BR/>How can someone repeatedly clip his nails ALL DAY LONG and have anything but nubs left?<BR/><BR/>I have purchased ear plugs, headphones and a small fan that whirls throughout the day as a way to drown out the dysfunction.<BR/><BR/>As for seating on planes, I once sat next to someone who started a conversation with, “Have you ever wondered how many gallons it takes to paint a runway?” I knew I was in trouble and my short 1 hour flight felt like I was going to Australia with a screaming baby next to me. <BR/><BR/>P.S.

Zurn, Galactic God of pee, having yellow force-power, and a yellow costume with red lightning bolts, is obviously a villain, because that, in fact, combines the powers and costume of Green Lantern and Flash's arch nemeses (Sinestro of the Weaponers, and Professor Zoom, respectively).

Your observations of Floridians in action during winter are spot on. People from other states forget that it does get just a little more wintry the further upstate you go - the odd snap of freezing temps here and there are par for the course.
