But did you make out with him, Perkins?

(Note: I know nothing about Russell from Big Brother.)

But did you make out with him, Perkins?

I did not!

I really need more details about this!

I really didn't talk to him much, beyond the typical getting settled into the seats stuff. I am pretty sure he knew I recognized him, but he seemed wary of being recognized, and I didn't think saying "hey, I know you. You're a douche" and "so how embarrassing is it that you lost to Natalie and Jordan", would help much, so we both just pretended I didn't.

He's not a tall person, and he didn't think that the rule about turning off electronic devices like his iphone applied to him, even after the flight attendant asked him twice.

Honestly, being able to text "OMG, I am sitting next to Russell from bb on the plane" to Jesse/you was the most fun part.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good times. And I was excited to discover you can forward texts, because I totally sent it to my coworker.

Although, I must admit, I still don't get why my iPod is a problem and a cell phone is not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I thought cell phones were included in the electronic devices list.

Nope, when you land, you can immediately use your cell phone, but no other ED until you're at the gate.

Huh? Cell phones have to be off the entire flight, unless you're on one with wifi. At least the iPod can get pulled back out after takeoff.

Oh, I see. I honestly think they just gave in to the inevitable on that one. And they don't want people getting other devices out because of the potential to clog up the offloading process.

Though it would never have occurred to me I couldn't turn the iPod back on. Maybe it's just that they don't mention it specifically in the "if you need your cell phone get it out now dumbass" announcement prior to landing?

He just never turned his iphone off when we took off, even after the attendant told him to do so a second time. I don't know if it was in airplane mode or not.
