Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Alison, as yet unseen, but heard, is waiting with the rest of us, watching JetBlue Flt. 292 try and land at LAX.



:hug: to the passengers.
:loveya: to Alison and Monica
:loveya::loveya: to the KOEB and the men who love us.

Gina: Stay safe and come on down to Miami Beach if you wanna. I know you'll listen to Neil Frank. :loveya:

ed: to add photo and shout out to gk!

1. Hi, Patsy.

Would they really risk showing a crash landing live on TV?

[crispini]

2. Oh, you KNOW they're gonna show it.

And I, who really should get up and go do something else, will sit here and watch it. Sometimes I really dislike myself.

[Catchawave]

3. Euwww, me too....

Doesn't help I have to fly Friday morning, again in Oct, then twice in Nov...Euwwww....these live reports don't help my fear of flying AT ALL ! Thoughts with the passengers, and free flights for life after this. I did pick up that MSNBC was being broadcast live on that flight right now !

[crispini]

5. My solution for flight jitters:

Arrive at airport the requisite 1 1/2 hours early.

Imbibe at least 2-3 alcoholic drinks prior to flight.

Drink lots of water during flight to avoid post-flight hangover in baggage claim.

:evilgrin:

[Catchawave]

8. Oh Yeah! Chablis is my fav flying breakfast beverage!

...and my 24 liter bottle of waa-waa :) :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

9. That was you? LOL.

Just kidding. How are ya? :hi:

[Catchawave]

11. Just dandy Pats :)

:hi: Love Ya :loveya: "Eddy" Heh :)

[Patsy Stone]

13. Sweetie, darling!

[Catchawave]

18. Oh Girlfriend:

[Patsy Stone]

30. Love it!

Bit of Bolly to toast the JetBlue pilot and crew? :toast:

[Patsy Stone]

4. They're hoping it's good TV.

But crispi's right, I'm sitting here watching it, too.

Until Colin said it, it didn't occur to me that they could be watching this newscast on the plane.

[crispini]

6. Now wouldn't that just be wiggy.

Here's hoping the stews give out a few extra drinks while they're flying around burning fuel. If I'm gonna crash, I sure as hell don't wanna do it sober.

[Patsy Stone]

7. Amen!

I'd be buying drinks for everyone and watching the Cartoon Network. :)

[bleever]

10. I'd take a couple of shooters of bourbon so that if I had to

I could jump down the slide with an old lady under each arm.


And, I think they're going to be okay.

:thumbsup:

[Patsy Stone]

12. Moved on to the Marlins.

I'm one of the few who doesn't stop to rubberneck. I don't want to see it.

Can I persuade you to start before a crisis ensues?



:hi:

[Muffstser]

14. Oh, yikes. I take JetBlue all the time.

My prayers are with these folks.

[crispini]

15. They will most very likely be OK.

But it is scary.

[Muffstser]

16. Alison is doing a GREAT job.

No Rita! (At least not yet...)

[bleever]

22. I agree, Muffstser. She did an excellent job! Keef should be proud.

Alison Stewart:

:loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

31. well, OK - since she did do a faboo job....

my first ever floaties for Alison: :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Excellent, Rev!

:thumbsup:

How's things?

[RevCheesehead]

37. Purty good

Why is Bill Daily shy about posting his pic on the net? (see my post below)

[crispini]

33. I agree! Floaties for Alison and for the Jet Blue pilot!

:loveya:

[Clark2008]

17. Who thinks those people on-board are either getting plastered

or are shitting themselves?

Poor people!! :hug:

[crispini]

19. I'll bet the flight attendants aren't serving them,

because they want everyone to be sober for the possible escape.

Good reason to bring your own, IMO.

[crispini]

20. Wow. ALL OK!

Wonderful. Wonderful.

[bleever]

21. WOOHOO!!!

What a great job by the pilots!

[crispini]

23. That must have been completely nerve wracking.

I've never seen anything like that. I know it happens sometimes, but wow.

[bleever]

24. The waiting must have been excruciating for the passengers.

Worse than reading Us Magazine over and over!

[Clark2008]

25. And they landed a few minutes past prime time!

News shows couldn't have asked for a better landing at a better time with a better ending!!

:rofl:

(Laughing now that no one is in harm's way any longer).

[bleever]

26. A made-for-TV moment. Look for the shrub to show up and throw

his arm around the pilot.

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Is there a megaphone handy?

Oy. :7

[crispini]

28. Ain't that the truth!

:rofl:

[bleever]

29. Betcha anything he inserts himself into this story. His "shoehorn" moment!

:rofl:

[bleever]

34. "Shoehorn" moment! Huh? Huh?....(sound of crickets)

[Patsy Stone]

35. I think I missed something here.

The Marlins and Mets are trading runs, and they keep tying it up, and it's making me nuts! :)

[RevCheesehead]

38. ba-DUM-dum. Crash.

I got it! :hi:

[bleever]

40. Hello, is this mike working? These ARE the jokes, folks.

:)

Thanks, Cheese.

:hug:

[crispini]

42. Hee!

Ok, I'll throw ya a bone: :rofl:

:P

[bleever]

45. THANK you. CDs available on the table in back.

:7

[RevCheesehead]

36. On this special occasion: A poem by Howard Borden.

Landing gear,
Landing gear,
Landing gear,
Have a beer.
Good night, Howard.

[Patsy Stone]

39. LOFL!

Perfect! Loooooved The Bob Newhart Show. They've just released the first season on DVD. That sounds like a great thing to do on a chilly Autumn evening. First order of business on this end is: get chilly Autumn evening. :)

[RevCheesehead]

43. And that was from memory.

God, I love that show. And yes, I do have season 1. :)

[Patsy Stone]

48. Even more impressive.

I am in awe.

That show was phenomenal. Hi, Bob! :loveya:

[bleever]

41. Hilarious!

Hi Bob!

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

44. Take a drink.

Hi, Bob! :beer:

[bleever]

46. Waaaay ahead of you.

:toast:

[Patsy Stone]

47. But...

You're both waaaay behind me. :) Sorry I didn't get your joke. Marlins lost. :(

[RevCheesehead]

49. Make it up to me.

Kick my post, with shizzle.

[Patsy Stone]

52. Done. And I'll do it again. :) n/t

[bleever]

50. Sorry about the Marlins.

Bullhorn moment. Shoehorning himself into the situation...

And yes, I will be here all week...

[RevCheesehead]

51. yea!!!!!!!

Blessed with the bleev! :bounce:

[Patsy Stone]

53. It took me a minute

but after I read it and actually thought about it, I got it.

I was a little slow that time. Sorry, Frank! :)
