My flight to Houston - Layover and Second Leg

After the long first flight, the layover at DFW and second leg of my flight (DFW to Hobby) are a bit of a blur. I bought a big bottle of water, was disappointed but not surprised that the newsstand did not carry Yoga Journal, and had a hard time finding food at the airport that was not fried. And my flight was delayed by about 45 min because they were waiting on the flight crew to arrive (were they on another delayed flight or hungover and late for work? We'll never know!), but I was upgraded to an Exit row so that makes up for the delay, I suppose. But then the pitiful lady next to me on the plane did not have anything to read or an ipod (no Vedder for her), and kept looking at me like I was supposed to entertain her (I am not a clown, lady), so points off for that. But the flight was short so whatever. Oh, and I saw that spider on the wall in the airport.

Yeah, flight crews are often late for work. I think it's a result of having to tie and re-tie those damn neckerchiefs.

Speaking of flight attendants: Is this Idiocracy?

I cannot for the life of me figure out why you posted that link.

Viking Andrew said...

Just randomly came upon it on Facebook and thought I'd share. Segue fail.

laurie said...

I think you just want us all to know that you love sex. To which I reply, who doesn't?

Viking Andrew said...

Sex is, like, one gigantic cornucopia of awesomeness. But apparently there are people who don't like it--so many anti-sexers that this group of West Chesters felt the need--the voracious desire--to create a public forum whereby others who love sex can come together...to get to know one another and to build a deep and intensely important online community.

Has it ever been reviewed here?

laurie said...

Sex? I dunno. Probably? Why don't you run a search with the little search bar at the top there and find out?

Get a room, you two.

I can't believe you like sex too. We should hang out.

Don't be jealous, John.

LoCo said...

'king Andrew should review Idiocracy.

John said...

I'm not jealous. I receive 95% of my sexual gratification from the degradation of women in advertising, and the other 5% from biting my wife's left arm.

John said...

Oops. Right arm.

Viking Andrew said...

@ Loco,

Is there a statute of limitations re: when a movie came out and when it can be reviewed? I know, of course, "classic" movies or movies from the 80s, etc, can be reviewed. But Idiocracy? Too soon and yet not soon enough?

Curious in Cambodia,

LoCo said...

Yeah I don't think you need a Top 100 movie list to review older movies. Glenn started this blog (I think? it seems so long ago) to review stuff as he came upon it. Like the banana he found on the ground. Would that banana be better or worse than Idiocracy? You be the jury.

John said...

Andrew, there's rules and then there's cool. Would you wear your high school football jacket to work, even though it still fits and Glenn's doing it?

(If anyone wants to know more about jobs or what's cool, they can shoot me an email. I'm always home and always online ha ha)

@ Saturday night's talk at the bar:

Here's a video of Gordon Lightfoot singing the song Glenn and I man-weep to, complete with some stock footage of the Edmund Fitzgerald being launched, etc. So beautiful.

Holy Shit: Glenn has a high school football jacket? That is news to me (and Laurie, I imagine). Which football player did he steal it from?

laurie said...

Actually Glenn was wearing a band jacket, but I can see how you could make that mistake.

I still have my high school boyfriend's wrestling sweater.

I just meant it as a, you know, metaphor or something.
