boats carry luggage and are claimed off of them

"off of"?
-- hippo, Nov 07 2008


It's a bit of a put off, is it not, this confusion between off and of, of which the grammaticians must surely make something to sound off on.

O, f off

you pull bag off wooden boat at airport baggage claim instead of belt
-- sukiyaki, Nov 07 2008


I rather fancy claiming my luggage with the aid of one of those long poles they drag rowing boats in with.

uses color plates to indicate flights, red for delta 899, blue for AA 445, etc.
-- sukiyaki, Nov 07 2008


i'd rather a baggage claim that doesn't make me wait four hours for my bag. I like this though, as long as the boats are shaped like plastic ducks or swans.

"No loitering in the terminal sir."
"Oh, I'm not loitering, I'm wading for my luggage."

basically luggage coming on a sushi boat hauled by a chain
-- sukiyaki, Nov 11 2008


Could be a bit of a drag, having to wait for them to come through the locks.
-- coprocephalous, Nov 11 2008


why didn't you articulate the idea in the first place? I was sure you had meant boats in water!
-- xandram, Nov 11 2008


No, it's sushi. It's a very portable and nutritious foodstuff, and its use should be promoted in airports, which is happening here.

He wants sushi to be sold at the baggage claim, which just so happens to be rearranged to resemble boats in a canal probably because children can get their little fingers caught in the traditional belt system and I'd rather save my kid from drowning than have his bloody fingers all over his brand new luggage. Anyways, people don't go hungry with a sushi or two while watching boats pass down the canal. Very nice.

Whether or not the sushi will be distributed in one of those unheardof variations as UnaBubba suggests is beyond me. Probably not, that would just be stupid and gross, as he points out.

no sushi involved, just luggage on the boats similar to sushi
-- sukiyaki, Nov 12 2008


Oh, yes I think sushi shaped luggage is just fantastic! [[[+]]]
-- daseva, Nov 12 2008


luggage is placed on the sushi boat, along with radomon sushi
-- sukiyaki, Nov 19 2008


Yes - I'd love to see sushi-shaped luggage going round the baggage carousel
-- hippo, Nov 19 2008


O, f off. (echo)
