    The combination of Benadryl, sleeplessness and being a complete fuckbag often results in outbursts like this one. #crazies

    Boo. But at least alcohol works the way it's supposed to on me. Precious, precious alcohol. ...Hmm, this whole line of thought is making me (tragically) sympathetic to Bass. #crazies

    @kimsama: I definitely support your experience on this. Some people on Benedryl do get agitated and irritable. It could be a sign of overdose or it can just be the way a particular person reacts. Sometimes it does one or the other in the same person. I've had both experiences with it.

    Children are more likely to become agitated by it relative to adults even though it is used for sedation by parents everywhere. It has the same either/or effect on dogs.

    If this guy had climbed over me on a plane I would make sure he never had children. You can do a lot of damage with one of those cheapie bic pens. #crazies

    That crash will not be properly depicted until screenwriter David Sontag -- who was on board that flight -- does something with his experience...

    In what I think is the best interview of what happened on board, Dick Gordon (who hosts the awesome show "The Story" that is heard on NPR stations) had a gripping interview with the guy about 2 weeks after the crash landing, and he tells a fascinating tale. I was in my car when I heard this with two bags of frozen groceries and just couldn't stop listening.. that shit was melted by the time I got to the house :[] -- here y'go:
