LAX is the destination code that goes on your bag tag. When the naming convention was established, there were basically two opposing lobbying groups: The Laxatives, who wanted to make airport security LAX, and laimen, who got hot and bothered just hearing the word 'stewardess'. This is America, so shi won over jis. |

You know what really bugs me? People who refer to Los Angeles International Airport as "LAX." "International" does not start with "X." "International" starts with "I." It's not "Los Angeles Xinternational Airport," is it? From now on, it should be called "LAI." There are already too many people in the world who don't know the difference between "X" and "I" and half of those people are going to have to use Roman numerals someday. They refer to it as LAX because there's a big sign out front that says LAX.  Whoever it is who flies in to LA, CA, is terribly uptight according to LA standards. So the first thing the locals want to communicate to the visitors, tourists and immigrants to LA is to relax. But you can only re-lax if you had a period of no extreme uptightness at least once before. Which nobody other than an LA native can achieve. So they call on the newly arrived, to lax. (Not re-lax.) |

((FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO USE THE LA AIRPORT: ))
I <3 mi lai. ("My" intentionally misspelled to keep currency with the prevailing scholarly aptitude of the locality and place in time.) (This makes sense only for those who remember Viet Nam. This is not a reminder to those, but a disclaimer for those who don't know what the heck I am talking about: No, I am still not completely gone up and around the bend.) |

I will now say something even stupider, but it makes sense, and I mean it, actually. Looking at the tail end of this current thread right now, as I write this, it has occurred to me to say how much I really enjoy these conversations with myself.

 I am so glad you got that off you chest.....  Right, and now I want to complain about Billy Mays always screaming in those Oxi-Clean commercials. I know he's dead, but that's no excuse. Actually, I can have a lot of respect for a man who is capable to scream himself to death. I and my in-jokes that only I get and my conversations with myself are thwarted by a genius like that. |

I can see Mr. Mays' mother have a heart-to-heart talk with him back when he was six years old: "Billy, you start first grade next week. It's time to learn for you to not scream in your pants. Raise your hand in class and ask your teacher to release you to the washroom before you come to the spot where you can't hold it back any longer." |

lol,,,haa
the most annoying thing....????? the use of the phrases 'who I am', 'who they are', etc,,, as in, thats just 'who I am' or, you cant change 'who you are' it is so often used instead of the more accurate terms 'what they want to do' 'what I like' 'what I dont like',,etc,, which are also .. all things that can and do change,,fairly regularly,,,when we choose to let them |

Well, OK, but Billy doesn't have an improperly-constructed acronym following him around, as far as I know. Maybe RIP for "Rest In Peace," but if his grave is in California, it probably says RIX. |

This is true. It's in the Bible. Signed: Wui. I moved away from Calif. |

My little sister called them "poopstickles", as she never knew what the sticky stuff was on it before she licked it. (Seven older brothers; she spoiled by our parents to Paris Hilton status by age two-and-a-half.) |

What's the "d" stand for? They planned to put a p for upgrade, but the the chief planning engineer was pyslexix (yeah... your typical Calif silocon-based engineer) put it upside down. So now it's a downgrade. |

Lol never really saw the logic in LAX.

"Before the 1930s, existing airports used a two-letter abbreviation based on the weather station at the airports. So, at that time, LA served as the designation for Los Angeles International Airport. But, with the rapid growth in the aviation industry, the designations expanded to three letters, and LA became LAX. The letter X does not otherwise have any specific meaning in this identifier. Moreover, the X perhaps indicates a blank letter or empty space in the code. Portland International Airport in Oregon also has a similar code PDX.[6] "LAX" is also used for the International Port of Los Angeles located in San Pedro, and for Amtrak-serving Union Station in downtown." |

Hercules was a demigod -- his father was Zeus and his mother was human. Today it would be a reality show. They could even go on... oh, my god... Jerri Springer. But only if Zeus beat the mother and gave rocks to chew on to the little Herkie in his craddle. I wonder what women said after having been loved by a god like Zeus. Or what they said was any different from what Mary said. Is it possible for a man to screw a female god and have a hemi-god come out of her as a result? How long do they gestate for? |

Maybe for the same reason it is X-mas!
Denoting a Plural or something! Who knows the minds of Officials anyway! They don't even do themselves!

I still think X is too arbitrary. If they wanted to give it some class, they should use a Cyrillic letter or something. Or just call it LAI, since that's three letters and International actually does start with I. Or do it like this: LA_ and turn it into a word game. |
