TGIF! Don’t drive high on opiates and roll your car like some idiot.

Word Count Filler Time

Alright, let’s preview tonight’s Sweet 16 games. Just kidding, that was done last night. Just kidding, we’re going back to the funny (may not contain actual humoUr) airplane travel stories.

No Jokes
See? Right off the bat (happy belated opening day to all who celebrated. Also get fucked Cleveland) we have a relevant story. Back in the day there was an airline called America West. Well, two of their pilots got fired for showing up drunk and got fired. (Whomst amongst us?) A week later, a passenger was boarding an America West flight and asked a flight attendant if they’d done a sobriety check on the crew. They kicked the passenger off the flight as a potential “security problem.”

Brains
DIA had to fire several security screeners after they sent themselves through the X-ray machine to see what their brains looked like. Probably half full. Or half empty depending on your disposition.

Nuns
American Airlines evacuated a plane in Dallas due to a suspicious odor a passenger reported. After inspection, nothing was found and the passengers were allowed to board again. Except the crew held back four (4) nuns of Indian descent. They then questioned them for six (6) hours before finally allowing them on another flight. A formal apology was later issued by the airline.

Birds
A Cuban arrived by flight in Miami in 2001 and was immediately detained. There was apparently some bulges or chirping noises, because when he was asked to raise his pant legs the inspectors found forty four (44) birds strapped to his legs. Worse, he had signed a document specifically stating he was not importing birds. The birds were returned to Cuba and he spent six (6) months in prison.

Toilet HumoUr
A Scandinavian flight got attention in 2001 when a lady got stuck to the toilet seat after flushing the vacuum powered flush while still sitting. It took several hours after the plane landed in the US before technicians were able to get here freed. Alas, it turns out this is a tall tale and never happened. You’re perfectly safe flushing that plane toilet while seated.

Hopefully, none of your future flights will make any headlines that I will share here in a future post.

Hoo babj I am drunk. This is nice.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Okay, the roomba is telling me it’s time for bed. Good night, moon.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I know I say this every week but I loved the requests this afternoon (and am loving them even more now) and you folks really outdid yourselves.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Major props to GTD for the MC 900 Ft Jesus request. That song fucking slaps.

Speaking of which, I only just learned that the karate dude in Nightmare in Elm Street 4 is working out to “Anything, Anything” by Dramarama, and I now realize why I thought that scene was so fucking cool when I was young.

Horatio Cornblower

Bruce Pearl just said Duke should beat UConn.

I am going back on everything I think and have said today, mortgaging the house, and taking UConn on the ML, because fuck Bruce Pearl and fuck Duke, that’s why.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Based on the first ten minutes of the game, it’s clear that UConn is capable of wrecking anyone. The tricky part is playing like that for forty.

Horatio Cornblower

Love this NCAA ad where the attractive chick says she’s about to graduate and hasn’t;t made any lifelong memories and it’s like “I guess everyone can’t be in a loft bunk with Michelle (name redacted for reasons that should be obvious in a moment) and then she says ‘Oh shit, I forgot the Cool Whip in the refirgerator’ and you use your boner to pole vault out of the bunk, stick the landing in front of the fridge, then vault back into the loft like you’re Sergei Bubka or some shit” and the rest of the evening and well into the morning is seared into your memory forever, unlike the Biology class you missed the next morning, for reasons that should be equally obvious.”

Anyway, hope Michell (name still redacted) is doing great. My god she was fun.

SonOfSpam

I’m sure Mitchell is doing fine

SonOfSpam

But I at least respect the Bubka reference. And the Cool Whip, because what college student can afford the real stuff?

Get a 3D printer and you can have your own Three-Legged Money Frog.

Actually have a jade one, every time we put the coin in its mouth the dog comes over and knocks it out with her paw. If we put a bill in its mouth the dog will eat it. And we wonder why our money seems to disappear.

I got it from a guy open box. So I’m just frozen on getting it all calibrated etc.

We’re doing Easter at my sister’s house this year. Both of my kids have abandoned us for their significant others, which means Mrs. Horatio and I get to show up and just be total assholes. It’s gonna be great.

My sister was telling us what to bring and I said “we’re bringing the Easter kielbasa we’re getting from the Ukrainian church tomorrow, and you will like it”

Much like Jesus, my sister is gonna need three days to recover from this one.

Iowa State throwing down the thunderous dunk to (checks notes) cut the lead to 11 with 1:08 to go.

Cool dunk, bro.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, no way, Iowa State came in oversewed again. Wow, who could have seen that coming other than anyone remotely familiar with Iowa State’s history in the tournament?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

…oversewed…

Aww, that’s a shame.

Horatio Cornblower

I hope she gets run over by a garbage truck, and given the outfits she wears to games I could absolutely understand a defense of “I couldn’t tell the difference, Your Honor”

Horatio Cornblower

The Fightin’ Horatios outlast Michigan State to advance to the Elite Eight, and having watched the game all I can say is there isn’t a point spread big enough for me not to take Duke on Sunday.

How a team this fucking dumb has gone this far speaks volumes as to how good a coach Hurley is.

They’re going to dumb themselves into a National Championship.

Horatio Cornblower

They very well might. The 2023 team seemed to have fate on their side. The 2024 team were just absolute monsters.

This version? if they win the championship they’re going to do it slipping on a banana peel, falling down two flights of stairs, and tossing a 3-point attempt over their shoulder that bounces off two cheerleaders and the rim before going in.

Seems unlikely.

yeah right

That was a great second half.

Both teams D had great sets.

As a disinterested outsider that was a fun watch.

And it’s so much better when you can fast forward through the 75% ads to sports ratio.

Record the games people.

You’ll save brain cells because of it.

I enjoyed the ending of said second half, but that was about it.

Stallions hold off the Kings, 15-13 to spoil Louisville’s debut game. The score isn’t indictive of how good the game actually was (from the limited parts I was able to watch).

UConn up my 8 over MSU at the half. That’s good!

They were up by 19 with about 8 minutes to go. That’s bad!

WCS

Five is the same as 19, right?

Horatio Cornblower

Yes.

WCS

Louisville kicks a field goal. Kings lead, 13-9 with about five minutes left in regulation.

No, nothing interesting has ever happened in a football game by that score… EVER.

Such a tragedy to see Nate Oats, a truly awful human being, lose in the tournament.

On pace for 162-0. Don’t you feel stupid now?

Lil’ and Lil’er WCS have this upcoming week off for ostensibly “spring break.” They go back the day after Easter.

If he wanted Easter to be the bigger celebration, maybe Zombie Jesus should have shown up with better presents and not just some dumb rabbit with weird candy.

Sure, when Jesus fakes his own death to get out of spring cleaning it’s ‘a miracle’, but when I do it it’s ‘wildly irresponsible’ and ‘a criminal misuse of emergency services’

We’re at halftime in Louisville, with the Birmingham Stallions leading the host Kings, 9-7. I’d love to type more, but I can’t really pay attention, because these assholes will not stop bothering me.

I know yinz’re all very excited for the return of UFL FOOTBAWL tonight, too!

The Birmingham Stallions are at the brand new Louisville Kings to start the season.

I’d love to type more, but this goddamned phone refuses to stop ringing. Solve your own problems, people! BOOT STRAPS!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is there a correlation between the UFL season started and an influx of calls?

Gumbygirl

I’m thinking it has to do more with busted brackets. I’d go on a spree myself, but for The Lazy.

scotchnaut

I only do one bracket challenge every year and I’ve mentioned it before. There’s no money involved, the bonus questions are weird but the dude that sends it to me was a guy that I once did business with. He was an ultra-ambitious fella until he got hit by a car while cycling. It took three years for him to recover from his head injuries and now all he does is charity work. Mike is an amazing dude.

Senor Weaselo

This pepperoni and Sicilian pepperoni need to come out quicker, Duke’s on a 3-0 run since I walked in.

Okay, we’re good again.

How is any D-1 basketball player a sub-60% free throw shooter? How?

Can’t believe Dale Brown didn’t bench him until he improved.

Horatio Cornblower

OK, if you’re 7’2″ and 280 I suppose it doesn’t matter how well you shoot FTs.

Horatio Cornblower

Duke gets away with a blatant shot-clock violation.

The Sun will rise in the East tomorrow.

Horatio Cornblower

After the replay, there was no shot clock violation, and the Sun will rise in the West.

God help us all.

scotchnaut

I think only Nolan Richardson (maybe John Thompson?) is the only coach better at using a press than Pitino.

I know this is fake but I want to will it into reality.

You know it’s fake because JJ hasn’t shown the capacity for normal human emotions like laughter.

Horatio Cornblower

Rooting for St. John’s and Rick Pitino and feeling like an even worse human being than usual, but this is for the greater glory of the Big East, and the opponent is Duke.

I can justify this before the Pearly Gates, should the need arise.

scotchnaut

Let’s be honest, Pitino can do more in-game than Sheyer can.

Horatio Cornblower

Sheyer is not great.

comment image

BrettFavresColonoscopy

They had $24 each way standby fares back when I was in college. Holy shit, I’m old.

Brick Meathook

AirTran had great business-class fares between LAX and DCA, via ATL. They flew 737s between Los Angeles and Atlanta, but then flew B-717 hot rods to/from Washington.

Fun Fact: AirTran was the direct descendent of ValuJet, a low-cost carrier with a notoriously bad safety record and history of cutting every corner they could. ValuJet Flight #592 crashed in 1996 shortly after takeoff from Miami, due to a cargo fire of illegally loaded oxygen generators. The plane crashed into the Everglades at an almost completely straight-down angle and at high speed, which completely obliterated the aircraft and all the passengers. Very little wreckage and just a few tiny pieces of human remains were ever recovered.

WCS

I remember watching the news about that at my Aunt Sally’s place.

Gumbygirl

Pan Am was the first I ever flew on. I was 9, going to my cousin’s wedding in New Orleans

Gumbygirl

Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure that trip was Eastern, not Pan Am.

Brick Meathook

Pan Am didn’t fly domestic routes, just international.

Gumbygirl

Yeah. My parents went to London around that same time, and brought back some Pan Am merch for us. I conflated that with the New Orleans trip, because I’m old and going senile. Gumby bought me a really nice replica Pan Am stewardess bag. I get tons of compliments on it when I use it as a carryon, especially from flight attendants.
