    - screw traffic. I could go to bars in the north end! -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 12:32
  - if that was an option, sure! -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 12:22 1
    - yep, it's up there for me, too. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 12:26

        *you have to* -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 12:25
      - i assume you take up space. i'm just thinking you just walk onto a plane last, take those empty seats by the washrooms that no-one wants to sit in - Andie Jul 19, 12:23 4
        
        Would you have to be naked? Or are your clothes invisible too? -- nm - mara Jul 19, 12:23 3
        
        I'm thinking naked. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:24 2
