I am in Seoul Airport and it is really fuckin' early and I'm very, very tired and I need to stay awake to catch my Atlanta flight.

SUGGESTIONS ON STAYING AWAKE! HURRY!

On the plus side, the sidewalks here talk to you and I got a new Korean grandma who showed me how to eat Bi Bim Bad Bomb Bum.

Stretch your legs and bend your toes down as far as possible. Relax. Bend toes again. Relax. Etc.

Ah...memories of Hartsfield Airport's trains...

Please move to the center of the vehicle/
And away from the doors."

I have assaulted unwitting people on AIM.

I have drunk hot chocolate.

I have looked in vain for anything that could classified anywhere near vegetarian.

I think, mayhaps, I shall beat this.

snort instant coffee

Well, obviously you have the internet. And you're mobile. So look up illegal porn.

Walk down to end of terminal. Turn around. Repeat.

Sux, but works.

continue to drink water nonstop

John is right. Pacing is good for staying awake. But for me, it's good for everything, as I'm a great big pacer. I love to pace.

Millar is OTM. In the Canadian Army ROT, the advice they give to cadets about to do the 72 hours on duty is for them to skip coffee and drink as much water as possible. It works.

You guys do the 72 hour thing too?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 02:59 (twenty-two years ago)

not in my training we didn't, but sleep is still at a premium

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

how many times can you two kill a man before he hits the ground?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't look at me oops, Im a civillian who has taken exgf from army advice when 72 hours of alertness was needed. And despite my coffee loving nature, it works.
Its worth point out shes the only girl who was never ever late for a date.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

The best terminal for pacing is the really long new Northwest terminal at Detroit- you can go quite far before having to turn around. Um...when I was stuck there for 24 hours a few years ago (pre new terminal) I went & bought about 20 magazines to read, walked a lot, sampled almost all of the restaurants, and talked a ton on my cellphone to every friend I could get ahold of.

Taipei. Tell yr Seoul airport story please. Maybe you could ask someone to wake you, Mike? Like an airport worker? Should the worst happen...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 3 July 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

can you not buy fireworks in Georgia?

― H (Heruy), Friday, 4 July 2003 10:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Fireworks are too dangerous. Buy a gun instead.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Friday, 4 July 2003 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Guns aren't any fun sober. He'll need some bourbon too.

― adam (adam), Friday, 4 July 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that was the best time I've had in ages. Never mind I don't have feeling in three fingers. They were dead wood anyway.
