My prayer:

Lord, let Lu's leg leave luggage and locate Lu.

almesq Feb 15th, 2006 11:46 AM

I will get down on both knees and pray, since Lu can't.

"Lord, let Lu's leg leave luggage and locate Lu."

Lamen.........I mean amen!

I'm in Northern VA. Anybody else willing to go out to Dulles airport w/me and stage a sit-in (appropriate for this protest) at United's counter, w/signs ("Let Lu's Leg Leave!") and chanting, to get United to stop scanning the darned thing over and over and release the leg?

If mrwunrfl hadn't left VA for the sunshine state, then he could go w/me.

P_M Feb 15th, 2006 01:47 PM

jamaltay, that's allotta alliteration.

Oh tracy, if your dear aunt ends up not getting her luggage returned I guess, due to all the anticonsumer rules and regulations that the airlines have, she won't have a leg to stand on.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord Lu's leg to seek
May it be found as soon as it can
And returned to Lu
So she can stand

God is great
God is good
Please find Lu's leg
Made of wood

Amen!

Look at the leg on her! It goes all the way up to her butt.

Anybody want a blue suitcase or a large green duffle bag?

Because I just spoke to a United baggage agent at the destination and my aunt's big red bag has STILL not arrived. BUT he said he'd had the two bags mentioned above for over 3 weeks and that I could have THOSE if I wanted.

And I don't think he was kidding! I have learned a lot about the world of missing baggage but it just gets more and more bizzare!

matnikstym Feb 15th, 2006 05:45 PM

does the green duffel or the blue suitcase contain a leg?

P_M Feb 15th, 2006 05:46 PM

You know how sometimes a song starts playing in your head and you hear it for the rest of the day? I'm hearing ZZ Top, "She's got Legs" Good thing I'm a ZZ Top fan. :-))

It's only February, but this thread is already in the lead for my favorite thread of 2006.

almesq Feb 15th, 2006 06:20 PM

This thread certainly does have a leg up on the competition.

spinedoc Feb 15th, 2006 06:21 PM

Tracy,

Make sure when speaking with the baggage claims fella that he understands its the bag with a patella..Hopefully all turns out well and that you hook up the leg, I mean hook up with the leg.

dusty56438 Feb 15th, 2006 07:17 PM

I think I'll go out tonight and try to get a little leg!

Scarlett Feb 15th, 2006 07:17 PM

I am afraid to ask....
what is in the blue bag or the green bag?

Fodorite018 Feb 15th, 2006 07:30 PM

Maybe the duffel bag and suitcase is a bit like Let's Make a Deal. Door (or bag in this case) number 2 or 3 may be better:D

matnikstym Feb 15th, 2006 07:37 PM

this is funnier than a one legged man at a butt kicking contest

Scarlett Feb 15th, 2006 07:40 PM

I am picturing all of those horror movie trailers that I have seen :O
What is in the green bag?? :o

I remember when Lu was younger with her new wooden leg. She was terribly insecure about socializing with her artificial limb, but finally a friend convinced Lu to go to a church dance.

They'd only been there a short while when a handsome guy with an artificial eye come up and said," Would you like to dance with me?"

"would I? would I?" LU said excitedly, nodding her head!

"Peg leg!", he snapped back.
