Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

After being told by KLM/NWA that we needed to handle our problem with Continental and Continental telling us they couldn’t help us and we should take it up with KLM/NWA, drastic measures had to be taken. Hopped on the wireless internet (the only good thing about Newark Int’l Airport so far) and bought us two one-way direct flight tickets on USAirways to Charlotte. Not too happy with KLM/NWA/Continental/Peanut Gallery Alliance but am very pleased about being able to get my pregnant wife all the way home today. We’ll let you know when we’ve made it safely there.

A peanut gallery is an audience which heckles the performer. The term originated in the days of vaudeville as a nickname for the cheapest (and therefore rowdiest) seats in the theater; the cheapest snack served at the theater would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to show their disapproval.

In the 1950s, the Howdy Doody show adopted the name to represent their audience of 40 kids.
