Question For The Ladies...Milk Cannons On Airlines.
 

Ok ladies, help me out here.

So I'm flying back from Kalamazoo, Michigan today. I make it to Detroit and got delayed because "the choosen one, Barry" was in the area with Air Force One. I make it onto the Detroit to Minneapolis flight after Barry decided to move his ass.

I end up in the back row, I'm talking the last seat on the jet back row, on the right side. Off to my right, there is a gal with an 8 month old sitting on her lap next to me, by the window. Across the way on my left, there is what looks to be about a seven year old girl by the window, and another mother with an eight month old sitting on her lap. I grab "Deb" the fight attendent and told her, I must have really done something to piss someone off. She smiled and told me she would hook me up with some free beers and laughed.

About 10 minutes after we take off, I was talking to the lady off to my right and glanced over and noticed she had whipped out one of her milk cannons. I'm taking zero cover. I look over and jr. is going to town on this bad boy. I was like, alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty then. After About 15 minutes I look over to my left and mother #2 is doing the same thing. Neither one of them went to any trouble to cover up the milk cannons. I'm sitting there trying not to laugh. Seriously, WTF are the odds of one doing this, much less two.

Deb come by again and I told her to skip the beer, just bring me some whisky and make it a double. She looks around and sees the same thing. Her mough about hit the floor and she comes back with three little bottles of whisky and I smile.

So girls, is this the freaking norm these days or what?

Bust out the camera phone. If that happened every time I doubt that would keep happening.

That's not weird you ****in' prude.

[sup CP]

Perhaps not to you, "cousin it." I have never been on an airline with that many cannons going off in one area, have you? :eek:

SO when a woman is breast feeding you can't even see anything but the kids head. You must really be hard up to even notice. And breast feeding during take off and landing help the kid keep his ears form popping, thus saving your ass from a screaming kid.

UP, I thought you had disappeared into the internet ether.

Down here is just standard anywhere I go.

They're just boobs.

Hard up, seriously dude? In one case, it was not as noticeable, in the other, it was. The whole ear popping thing would make sense, considering the timing.

seriously, camera phone. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

lol right, I forgot how full of trendsetting comedians CP was.

I don't fly much, and always get window seats. The only time I've really noticed people around me was when a tween girl sitting beside me was watching Remember Me on her ipod while we were on a flight from Boston to LA. Seeing her watch this scene as we encountered turbulence was hilarious.

The... "ethernet," if you will?

It is the top of a breast or the side that you can see, not any different then most magazines or bathing suits, or hell a low cut top. It isnt like you are seeing nipples or anything.

:clap: ROFL :clap: ROFL :clap:

YOU ON FIRE SON

Were they at least nice tits? You should have leaned over and said "I'll have what he's having!" :D

Seriously dude, I couldn't tell you. I looked over to talk to the one on my right and caught a glimple and was just looking around and caught the same show on my left. As far as your line, that would have been a classic. LMAO

His "ass" shouldn't have to be saved from a screaming kid, a better idea would be for these people to stay the hell off of airplanes until their kids get a little older.

You just wanted to show off your new avatar.

Nice to see you.

On the plus side, Bwana, they could have both opened up a jar of smelly-assed baby food. That would have been much worse than breast feeding. The problem with breast feeding is that it's......awkward.

I have to admit, neither kid raised much hell, which was what I was worried about when I first caught the seating arrangements. Perhaps this kind of thing should be the norm, if it's not. :D

For some reason I skimmed past the second 8 month old and was like WTF aren't you people talking about the 7 year old?!?!?!?




That would have been awkward.

Reminds me of that old Bavarian proverb; "When the turbulence is a' choppin', let the tits start a' floppin'."

FAX

You should have thrown a temper tantrum. Maybe one of them would have offered you a breast.

Well Jim here has a ****ing problem with it. :D

Those Bavarians had a proverb had a proverb for just about everything. You have to admire that about them. That and their cream pie.

That's such bullshit, those women have a right to be there just as much as anyone else. And they literally have a legal right to breast feed their children in public in the state of Michigan as well as many other states.

Instead of reading about it on some football forum of some guy thinking "WTF." the headline on CNN would be "Airline treats breast feeding mothers as if they were terrorists."

If a mother is doing what God intended her to do w/ her jugs and it still bothers you so much, you should mind your own business.

It always quiets me down!

Yeah right...those things control the universe. :D

The Bavarians may be ok but the Austrians gave us Hitler...Der Schickelgruber, nicht ein floppenboober. You owe us a lapdance, Austria.

Thanks for totally missing the point. For anyone to drag an infant onto an airplane, or into a movie theater or restaurant or any other public place is selfish and inconsiderate whether they are breastfeeding or not.

Movie theater and restaurant- I couldn't agree with you more.

Airplane though is a different story. She's supposed to leave her infant behind while she flies across the country to visit family?

It really does keep the ears from popping, sort of like chewing gum. I breast feed all three of my kids, but always had a blanket to cover with. However, I wasn't shy, if my child needed to eat, it got to eat.

I think women are starting to be a little more open about it, no more hiding in the gross bathroom.

So you don't condone parents taking their kids out in public?

I guess I don't see your point. Where the hell can anyone take their kids?

Is it okay to take a kid to a park, or do they need to check w/ you first?

Bugeater is tempted to eat one
that's why he don't want to see a kid in public

No, she can wait until the kid is a little older before she drags him/her across the country. Or move closer to the family if it's that damn important to visit all the time.

I didn't get your point either. I'm not going to stay shut in my house because I have an infant. Now, I would never take an infant to a movie theater, unless there is a cry room (still haven't done it).

I had no issues breast feeding where ever I was at the moment. It should be a norm, if a person is uncomfortable with seeing a woman breast feed her child, then perhaps that person should not look.

I was born in Germany, should my mother have stayed in Germany when the Army shipped my dad back??

Not a logical opinion, Bugeater.

Nah, he is just jealous he wasn't breast fed!!! :D

crazy idea, have one of the grandparents or, gasp, a sitter watch the kid if you insist on going out. having kids is a sacrifice, as you already know. part of that is sacrificing a normal social life.

Please, spare the hyperbole. A park is obviously different since I'm not spending several hundred dollars on a ticket to go there.

They could've shipped you back via UPS. :)

Bugeater is grossed out by female breasts. Gay pedophiles who boss people around usually are.

Dude. Bwana got boobs AND free whiskey? That sounds like a great plane ride, to me.

I don't care about this thread, but I'm going to start calling titties milk cannons.

I'm going to start scratching my balls in public all the time, and hey, if it makes people uncomfortable they can just not look.

10 Minutes Of Staring at Boobs Daily Prolongs Man's Life by 5 Years...

Listen, guys, now we know why Pamela Anderson made her transplants: to make us healthier. "Angels of mercy" like Jordan just prolong our life and Hugh Hefner knows it.

A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine and Weekly World News said that men staring at women's breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

"Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out," said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so.

For five years, the boob oglers presented a lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and decreased risk of coronary artery disease.

"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at large breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half." said Weatherby, who even recommended that men aged over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts sized "D-cup" or larger.

She said that this was as healthy as going to the gym for 30 minutes daily and prolonged a man's life by five years.

"We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years." said Weatherby.

This is indeed a very serious reason for men to enjoy without shame those midnight TV shows, download low-budget women-in-prison movies and collect such instructive and health beneficial magazines like Playboy and Hustler.

You don't have to tell me about sacrificing a normal social life, I have three children. I was a considerate parent that tried scheduling things around feedings and naps. I hate to hear a child scream, it makes me want to scream, so why would I subject others to it?

But, I will be damned if I am going to completely put my life on hold because someone has an issue with me feeding my child in public, that is a ridiculous request.

Yeah, there is a grand idea!!

I think there is a huge difference between breast feeding and scratching your balls. With breast feeding everyone knows it is normal and needs to be done. If you go around scratching your balls, they will just think you have the clap!!

Hey, you can pull out your milk cannons in my presence ANYTIME you want. Kid feeding or not.
o:-)

it appears that you actually went out of your way to be a decent parent and not a shit-head. the older I get, the more I realize that the latter is much more common.

Common courtesy doesn't really exist anymore, which drives me bat shit crazy. One of my biggest pet peeves, lack of common courtesy; next to not using the god damn turn signal!!

you are right.

You just want a taste!! ;)

Leave my spelling alone!!! :cuss:

ROFLROFL

I already gave you rep, I knew I should have waited!!

You'd actually need to have balls to do that. You don't qualify.

and that's kinda the crux of the issue here... if you know your kid is fussy and likely to ruin everybody's evening, don't take the damned kid to the nice restaurant. take him or her to freaking pizza hut. if you have a brain, don't take your goddamned three year old to the new (hard R) freddy vs. jason movie. for ****'s sake, don't set you and your kid up for failure... know your limitations and don't go about breaking them.

now, as to the airline situation, not sure what the correct answer is. should everybody be subject to flopping titties? we should be so lucky. but common courtesy would say bring a damned blanket. prepare for the situation and everybody's pain will be diminished.

I certainly get what you are saying. I never took my children to a four star restaurant, or a movie theater, nor did I feed without a blanket or something to cover up with. I wasn't thinking about the parents when I covered up, I was thinking about the other little kids that would ask, "Mommy, what is that lady doing?"

The subject is a touchy issue. People argue they don't want the embarrassment of seeing a woman breast feeding, the mother argues that it healthier and natural. I have had a few women comment, "Why don't you feed your child in the bathroom?" I asked them, "Why don't you eat in the bathroom?" It really pissed me off, but remember, I was covered, no pink skin showing at all.

And you don't think your "if you're offended, don't look" comment is any different? It's the same "it's all about me and **** everyone else" attitude that is so prevalent in today's society.

I disagree when it comes to breast feeding. Women use to do nothing but breast feed. It was society that made it taboo.

I do think woman need to cover up, but I don't get why you would be so upset if she were covered. You seem to think a mother should not be seen outside of her home feeding her child.

The only thing the women on the plane did wrong, in my opinion, was not cover up.

What do you expect from a cementhead like this? He's probably pissed the babies weren't aborted. You've got to be totally effed up sexually in this day and age to be freaked out by a woman breastfeeding.

Personally, it wouldn't upset or offend me either way, and I don't even recall ever witnessing it being done anyway. The only thing I took exception to was the earlier comment where someone defended it by saying it was either that or listen to a screaming kid, which is bullshit.

But it is awkward, and I can't for the life of understand why a woman would even want to do it in public in the first place.

I will say this, it was a one of a kind trip. :)

you mean 'two of a kind'?!?

A-THANK YOU!

:p

This

ROFL

The comment about a screaming child was referring to an infant being on an airplane, the best combatant is feeding the child. One can not use the argument about putting the milk in a bottle either, the milk will only last so long without being kept cold, and an infant will not drink cold milk.

No woman wants to breast feed their baby in public, it is an evil necessity. Okay, maybe the really big attention whores do. :)

:LOL:LMAO:LOL:LMAO:LOL:LMAO Most excellent.

I guess it could have been a much worse flight. I could have had Jimmy the jerkaholic across from me, rubbing one out.

ROFL That reminds of that story from a couple years ago where the lady fell asleep on a flight and woke up with some perv spooning her and had splooge on her clothes. Now THAT would be a bad flight.

I don't have a problem with boobies or women feeding their kids. I had an aunt who breast fed her 3 kids until they lost their baby toofers - in front of everybody.

Dude...

You should have ordered a White Russian and asked her for some milk.

LMAO

Seriously, it's all about nature. Who gives a ****?

You kill any four legged or gilled creature you choose, but the sight of a baby's mouth on a nipple freaks you out?

:eek:

Lighten up, Compadre. And next time, report on those nipples!

Yeah no shit. If you wake up and you're covered in DNA, that WOULD be a VERY bad day.

D-Man, I'm not going to lose any rest over the "encounter," or run over and get numerous treatments at the local shrink. It's all good, I just wanted to see what the pulse was on the subject and see if anyone else had run into dueling milk cannons on a cross country flight. I must admit, it sparked more of a debate than I projected.

I tried apologizing to her but she wouldn't accept it.

Still, though, she took it a lot better than that dude next to me on the Greyhound bus a few weeks later. :shrug:

i'm guessing that most of the people that have a problem with this don't have kids.

Bringing infants into movie theaters is just a bad idea all around. The baby doesn't get a thing out of it and the sound levels generally set them to screaming. Travel, however, is a different story. It's not fair to inisist that babies can't go on flights. Families visit and babies should not be excluded, nor should a breast feeding mother be forced to bottle feed in public, on a plane or not. I don't enjoy hearing a baby scream on a flight, but I only get pissed off when some undisciplined kid between 3 and 6 screams his or her head off and the parents don't do a thing to make the kid shut up.

When I was that age, my mother made it very clear to me that when I was on an airplane, I had to act like I did in church: no screaming and carrying on and no kicking the seat in front of me. Parents today just don't understand or care that the rest of us do not find their horrid brat to be cute nor can we block out his or her shrieks. I have seen kids standing in their seats and just shrieking at the passengers behind them for entertainment and the parent acts oblivious to it. That makes me wish for sudden, violent turbulence...

Austin seems to warm up to Milk.

I would've said, "You know, ma'am, personally I feel breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural thing that women should not be embarrassed about. And, while I'm not much of a breast man, if the little guy gets tired, and doesn't drink enough, and they're aching on you, I'd be happy to step up to the plate and finish for him. Because I'm a caring and helpful kind of guy."

In orlando there was a lady that was breast feeding at a chick-fil-a, a guy that worked there asked her to do that somewhere else. So, a bunch of women had a "feed-in" where they organized women to go there and breast feed.

Dude.
