Lesson One......... Do not , I repeat do not smoke a joint of skunk in a enclosed pickup on the way to the airport........ With no check in baggage, I headed right for security to get through it quick so I could start drinking as soon as possible. Great plan, until the airport security noticed a smell in the air and it wasn't my after shave. They asked me where I was going and why my eyes are red. Allergies, I say look at my f*cking meds. Without saying please, two gorillas tell me to come with them to a small room off to the side. Oh shit! That's when one of the young punk security guys calls me a low life druggie. At this point I'm so pissed, I say to myself "f*ck them " I'm not going to take this sitting down. I ask for a superviser and tell him I thought I smelt the weed on the young punk security guy. The punk was then lead out of the room, with a look of shock on his face ( priceless)........Lesson Two.........Airport security doesn't like being called snot nose punks, f*cking idiots or cop dropouts........ They search me, pull my bags open and rip everything out. I thought they were going to start wanking off right then and there, they got so excited when they found a rolling machine and papers. Now these were brand new never used, but they didn't care. (My fingers don't work as well as they used too.) I couldn't believe this bullshit. Two hours later, a call to my lawyer, a missed flight and more lovely name calling, I was on my way. Not to mention they didn't want to give back my rolling machine. Another request for the superviser, telling him that it was NOT illegal to have and I wanted the damn thing back, with my papers please. (ok maybe I didn't say please)...............Lesson Three...............Don't take the first flight the airlines offer you. Seattle to denver to chicago to Amsterdam. Thirty Three hours later I land in Heaven. It sucked not getting here on time................... But something that bothers me even more, is I gave my word to someone here on the board that I would meet them at a certain time and place and I wasn't able to keep it. For that I am truely sorry and hope it didn't screw them up to much..............I'm here now, loving it. Barney's Temple ball and Laughing Bubbha and the Greenhouse Argen's Haze have done the trick so far. Today it's been sunny, rainy and snowing. Lovely weather ( I'm from Seattle I'm used to it) That's all for now, The temple ball is calling.......................................................Cooter

Well, at least it doesn't sound like they snapped on the gloves for the ultimate search.................
You could be walking around de Wallen with a sore arse, instead of just a chapped one! They were probably just trying to protect the flying public from the dangers of second hand smoke.

You should have cried age discrimination. That would have stopped them! Guess they're not as laid back on the left coast as we are led to believe.

Anyway, you're there and have more to savour this time.

Watch out leaving though...I had a hard time when I forgot that I had AA batteries in my suitcase for my camera, then remembered and admitted it later in the interview. The "laid back" Dutch authorities gleefully thought that they had caught a middle-aged, over-weight, anglo terrorist because of my supposed lie and that I was sweating and somewhat out of breath because I was a little late for the check in time and had run up from the train. Go figure.

Goed hunting,

Skip

Nightmare Cooter, I fully sympathise with you. I can hardly believe you would be treated like that over nothing in your own country. I bet you're tempted to just stay where you are now.

There you are! Glad you finally made it. I've had a few problems with travel and meeting plans in Amsterdam over the years, so it's no big deal. I just got back last night.
I highly recommend a trip to Alkmaar. Both Czech Andrea and Mini Anna were outstanding.
I'll start writing up the reports. Best Performance awards all go to the Singel, for Eva the Bulgarian gymnast at 15 Spui after 2000, and Jamie the Dutch/Italian goddess in 22 Spui bottom room weekdays-although she prefers a lunch and fuck escort-style outing to her kamer.
