    to your mother.
  • AmyVernon, on 04/16/2009, -1/+26Where's Sam Jackson when you need him?
  • AlexCrawford, on 04/16/2009, -1/+26The only thing that went extinct in '92 was your mother's gag reflex.
  • MrInfallible, on 04/16/2009, -0/+24Definitly! What should it be called?

  • koinek, on 04/16/2009, -5/+25I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE ***** STORIES ABOUT ***** SNAKES ON ACTUAL PLANES!

    old meme is old. :(
  • EllimistX, on 04/16/2009, -0/+18Pacific Air Flight 121... sounds intriguing...
  • JimHutchinson, on 04/16/2009, -0/+18Oh come on. How much damage can a 6 inch python do? Maybe nibble on a toe or finger? Just roll some peanuts down the isle and the snakes may come out to play.
  • RumpleForeskin3, on 04/16/2009, -0/+17QANTAS. QANTAS never crashed.

    Definitely watch TV but you have to be in bed at eleven. Lights out at eleven.
  • asgardshill, on 04/16/2009, -0/+15The Stimson python is non-venomous and the escapees were babies so it's not like they would have throttled anybody. And on top of that, they fumigated the plane and killed them. Bloody wimps.
  • MachineMessiah, on 04/16/2009, -0/+13Did somebody on the plane comment that enough was enough, and that they'd had it with the snakes (in a far more off-the-cuff manner)?
  • Suzilla, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12Harold, Kumar, and Snakes go to Australia
  • MrInfallible, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12Yeah those titles are ok, I was thinking it should be an arthouse movie,

    "The Serpants That Had Wings"

  • Feanor, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12"Samuel L Jackson did not immediately return a call seeking comment."
  • KenSPT, on 04/16/2009, -0/+12Viral marketing, a couple years late ...

  • m0tbaillie, on 04/16/2009, -0/+11You're 40 comments late, *****.
  • dse78759, on 04/16/2009, -1/+11Damn Snakes! You scary!
  • deadsenator, on 04/16/2009, -1/+11How exactly is "Snakes on a Plane" a 'cult film'? It's not even so bad, that it's good. It's simply bad.
  • shrontzy, on 04/16/2009, -0/+9Sup dawg, I heard you like Snakes on a plane, so I put some snakes in your plane so you can watch Snakes on a Plane while you have snakes on your plane.
  • Jektal, on 04/16/2009, -1/+10Homeward Bound 3: Slithery Skies
  • EricAnderton, on 04/16/2009, -0/+8"Your mother jokes? Didn't they go extinct around 1992?"

    They've been listed as "Endangered" since '93, and the WWF has a fundraiser/awareness comedy show every year to keep them from dying out.
