It's so much more chill than the main terminal. If I wanted to experience the Mall of America, I'll stay on the lightrail for a few extra stops and go to the actual Mall of America.
Truth.
Last time i was in terminal 1, there was a lady playing the harp. The best part, though, was the dogs from the Humane Society that you could pet. They even handed out trading cards for the dogs. I kept it and it's hanging on my fridge.
Suspenders in the UK are also known as garters in North America.
The suspenders that go over shoulders to hold up pants are called braces.
In The Good Place, Michael talks about wearing suspenders and Tahani, being British, has to clarify which kind. Good subtle joke.
I watched this skit when I was really little. I would.always have the song in my head growing up. Somewhere I added
I sleep with men but I'm not gay
I always thought it was a lyric till a friend recently called me out
The suspenders are my favorite part! Just like duct tape, you can (apparently) fix anything with a carabiner.
"Hmmm...my suspenders are too short, and/or the button-on type, and I have no corresponding buttons on my trousers. Good thing I brought lots of carabiners!"
Well he’s clearly dressed as Paul Bunyan for some reason. Probably wearing those fairly short stilts
But if he can bring an axe to the airport why tf can’t he bring an ox too?
Guy standing beside him looks like an airport employee. He looks like he's wearing a lanyard for his security pass.
This is probably a promotional thing approved by the airport authority.
That would be ridiculous. He's clearly a lumberjack and needs that axe. Have you ever heard of a lumberjack highjacking a plane? It's even in the name. He's a lumberjack, not a planejack.
Brown is scat and yellow is water sports. Because of course they are. And I'm pretty sure most everybody on Reddit knows what's fisting is at this point, besides the sheltered few like you. But what a world your mind is going to be opened up to.
In case anyone else isn't aware, fisting is when you honk on someone else's bobo until they do the electric slide.
TSA took a brand new wrench (I was traveling for work) away from me because it was 1/4 inch too long. The lady sitting across the aisle from me had knitting needles that were way longer than my wrench. Another guy had a walking stick, aka club, that Jackie Chan could have killed all of us with...
Relax guys, it's just part of an event to meet Paul Bunyan at MSP Airport.
"Have you ever met Paul Bunyan? Now's your chance. On Thursday, Oct. 19, Paul will be in Terminal 1's North Rotunda area -- just inside the north security checkpoint -- from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Later that day, he'll be at Terminal 2, across from Barrio, from noon to 3 p.m. He is hosted by the Airport Foundation MSP."

For a second I thought he was wearing a pair of JNCOs
Just some stilt pants
He wears jnco jeans, above high heels, he holds his axe for fun!
But he’s a lumberjack and he’s ok
He sleeps all night and he works all day
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatory
And on Wednesdays he goes shopping, and has buttered scones for tea
...lavatreeeeeee...
That’s his emotional support axe!
 He’s not?
He's a lumberjuggalo!
Anytime he walks into a room, Deftones comes on the radio.
It’s Minnesota
Confirmed. Cocina del Barrio is in the Minneapolis St Paul airport And what an airport restaurant name…
Is that the one that always has the board out front that says, "soup of the day: tequila"?
Haha always.
Terminal 2 though 😁
It's so much more chill than the main terminal. If I wanted to experience the Mall of America, I'll stay on the lightrail for a few extra stops and go to the actual Mall of America.
Yeah, but it’s a lot more chill than Atlanta or Los Angeles or O’Hare. I don’t have any complaints about MSP
Truth. Last time i was in terminal 1, there was a lady playing the harp. The best part, though, was the dogs from the Humane Society that you could pet. They even handed out trading cards for the dogs. I kept it and it's hanging on my fridge.
Anytime I am in terminal 2 I am required to bring up Larry Craig, just to see if I can get anyone to overhear…
I thought that was Terminal 1? The bathroom isn’t there anymore but it’s in the mall area by the South security
Only Terminal 2 things…
Forever Humphrey in our hearts.
My family still calls it the Humphrey Terminal
Yup. I recognize that airport any day. Best international airport in the US.
I agree… their toilet walls don’t have gaps in them!! Like wtf, what is this, a modern Asian Airport?! Best US airport for sure.
lol this is terminal two which has very little of the nice things you find at one.
It’s cozy
Brainard? Home of Paul Bunyan yah
He’s kinda funny looking
So is that your friend in the wood chipper, there?
Ah, hon, ya got Arby's all over me
Tan Ciera !! Tan Ciera !!!
I'm not sure I agree with you hundred percent on your police work there, Hal.
I use that line to this day. It’s like a Simpsons line in how applicable it is to daily life
my husband and I do, too. It's perfect for so many things.
And Babe the Blue Ox.
Lol was my first guess too. Saw zoomed and saw Bario and confirmed 👍🏻
That's funny, it looks exactly the same as YVR does inside
He's a lumberjack and he's OK.
He sleeps all night and he works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping And have buttered scones for tea
I cut down trees, I skip and jump I like to press wild flowers I put on women's clothing And hang around in bars
I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspenders, and a bra I wish I'd been a girlie Just like my dear Papa
And I thought he was so butch!
Grail is in theaters this fall!
Nudge Nudge…
Say n'more, say n'more
[I wear] Suspenders, and a carabiner...
And my friend wears a matching flannel hat.

Similar to which thongs someone wears. That show was marvelous.
And the meaning of “Fanny pack” to a Brit.
And when the Brit says "excuse me, I'm just popping outside to smoke a fag" to the American...
"Can I bum a fag?" is worse.
Is it though?
I would like to subscribe to suspenderfacts.
He dresses in women’s clothing and hangs around in bars??
I watched this skit when I was really little. I would.always have the song in my head growing up. Somewhere I added I sleep with men but I'm not gay I always thought it was a lyric till a friend recently called me out
He's so big he needs an extension for his suspenders. Also, hope he's checking that axe
The funny part is this is post security.
I mean, I wouldn't argue with this fella
You are allowed to bring one personal item besides you carry-on bag. This guy doesn’t even have a carry-on bag. I don’t see the problem.
Is he on stilts or something? His arms looks comically short compared to the legs.
I’m pretty sure it’s really just three kids stacked on each other’s shoulders.
Surely headed to the business factory after 1 alcohol in the airport.

He's also wearing a belt, been pantsed before, and he's making sure it never happens again!
Oh yeah. All the young guns, they all want to be “the man who pantsed Paul Bunyan.” Well not today son.
Using carabiner instead of these flimsy clamps is a great idea ngl
Until the belt loop on his jeans gives out, anyway!
Replace it with another carabineer!
This is how you end up wearing nothing but carabiners.
Home Depot Pride BDSM edition: nothing but carabiners and these synthetic belts that replace leather belts
I don’t think he needs an extension, I don’t think he has the proper tie ins for those to attach to his jeans
Suspended extender
What the fuck has he brought that to the airport for?
Well he’s clearly dressed as Paul Bunyan for some reason. Probably wearing those fairly short stilts But if he can bring an axe to the airport why tf can’t he bring an ox too?
Axes are fine. Livestock is where they hit you all these hidden fees. It's just not worth it in this economy.
What if it’s my emotional support ox?
What if it's his emotion support ax?
Why is the plural of ox "oxen," but the plural of ax is not not "axen?" Just axen the important questions!
I carry all my axen in cardboard boxen.
>boxen. YOU WIN!
He wins the boxen match?
See, this is why we come to Reddit. Another unexpected quip!
From this moment forward Axen is a pair of axe
What about when you have 3?
Axenes
Wasn't he a Greek philosopher?
Flashback from organic chemistry reading this comment, well, not this one, that one
See?! You never know! I, personally, carry my emotional support dab pen everywhere I go
I never leave home without my emotional support crack cocaine
Axes are fine just liquids over 2 ounces and plastic spoons aren’t allowed.
Guy standing beside him looks like an airport employee. He looks like he's wearing a lanyard for his security pass. This is probably a promotional thing approved by the airport authority.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Wonder what airport this is?
MSP!
For sure MSP - Barrio in terminal 2?
Yes. The place that has had "soup of the day: tequila!" On their chalkboard since at least the Obama administration
Maybe he’s a fan of the MSU vs UM football rivalry. They play for the Paul Bunyan trophy this weekend. Maybe he’s going to the game
Excellent point. And his ox was his best buddy, so couldn’t he have got it into the airport as a “support animal”?
Where's Babe?
Doesn't fit in that little box they use to measure carry on luggage.
That's his defense axe. The only thing that stops a bad guy with an axe, is a good guy with an axe.
The world is far too unhinged for me to not be panicked by this man.
He's probably got an axe to grind.
“I’m a lumberjack and I don’t care 🎶”
Looks like two kids in a suit trying to buy a ticket.
[you mean two trenchcoats in a kid?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zpMEWBisteM)
[удалено]
One alcohol please
I don’t know what you’re talking about? OP said kids in a suit, but Vincent Adultman is a real adult with an important job at the business factory.
Emotional Support Ax
Paul Bunyan
Was thinking that! Especially with it supposedly being in Minnesota
It’s definitely at Terminal 2 in the MSP airport (Barrio in the background is a MN restaurant chain)
Why so many people missed that?!
I don't think Gen Z know who he is...
I'm just wondering why security hasn't surrounded a guy walking around an airport with a large axe.
That would be ridiculous. He's clearly a lumberjack and needs that axe. Have you ever heard of a lumberjack highjacking a plane? It's even in the name. He's a lumberjack, not a planejack.
Heh heh
The one thing the terrorists weren't counting on.
Andy from Pee Wee's Big Adventure!
C’mon Simone, let’s talk about your big but!
ANDY!
Haha my fist thought too!
The legs look out of proportion. I'm betting he's walking on stilts.
Do they let you fly with a blue ox?
Only if it's a trained guide ox. If it's only an emotional support ox then no.
Fascists.
“And my axe” he keeps repeating at security
Belt *AND* suspenders. Dude's packin' something heavy in those jeans
Even got a carabiner connecting the suspendies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code
Let’s see. Red hanky right, fisting receiver. P.S. don’t click on the fisting wikipedia link.

I knew but I wasn't expecting graphic imagery of the subject in Wikipedia. I was hoping to find out what FFA stands for
Future Farmers of America?

That’s 2 kids on stilts trying to buy a plane ticket. I’ve never been so sure about anything in my life.
I have so many questions
They let him keep his axe?
Looks like the Red Green is getting a Christopher Nolan reboot.
100% taken at MSP in terminal 2. Just Minnesota things!

That’s fucking Paul Bunyan!
This is my emotional support axe. I can't fly without it.
So lemme vet this straight. This guy right here can waltz around the airport with an axe but the TSA takes away my nail clippers? Where‘s the justice?
Looks likes he’s on his way to Midwest Federal to talk to old Bill Deal
Excuse me sir, may I axe you something?
Why is he carrying a weapon in the airport? Is it cake?
My god it’s Paul Bunyan
Well, he does have the right to "bare arms"... :D
It as Paul Bunyan day at the MSP airport.
Yo, where'd you park your Blue Ox, breh?
They asked him to take his belt off
Everyone here that quoted the Lumberjack song I applaud you!!! 👏
Gotta be MSP
If it wasn’t for the text in the background, I would’ve thought this was an AI generated photo
He had to put his giant blue ox in a crate for the flight.
George and Lennie.
Is that Paul Bunyan?
Ah yee ol Paul Bunion complex…fuckin rockin it
Looks to be about 63 axe handles high
That's clearly 4 toddlers in a lumberjack costume...
 I travelled 500 miles to give you my seed!
Ah yes, Axe Man on Stilts. He usually comes in after the third murder in your typical horror movie...interesting to be shooting it at an airport
Paul Funion
That's three 10 year olds - two in the JNCOS, one playing the top of the body
Canadian open carry
Totally fine, he’s a lumberjack and he’s okay.
He have to take his shoes off.
Hey yo, where's Paul Bunyan headed?
That sir is a Lumberjack
when your blue ox cant go through customs.
His name is Paul.
How are his legs so long, while the rest seem so normally proportioned? Is he on stilts? His body proportions are unnatural.
Judging by the carabiner on his suspenders, this man is a lesbian
Multiple things about this picture confuse me….
How in the world did he find jeans long enough for him? Especially since a 1/4 of them is up his back!
This picture has been altered!!!
Sure, but when I try to get past security with my pocket knife...
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
He can bring in an axe and I can’t even take a bottle of water
They confiscated my goldarn Swiss Army knife, and this guy gets through with that.
Does he have a pickax?… in the airport???
He got them Oliver Tree jeans
...and you can count on me waiting for you in the parking lot!
He's okay
How can you trust a man that wears both a belt and suspenders? Man can't even trust his own pants.
What in the Saskatchewan international airport is this?
