Callin All Freaks Now

Thursday, August 21, 2008



Well yet again I have a post on someone else's blog up. Go to Alice's blog for an awesome tale of Canadian ladies. Also read her blog since she's one of the people on the Interwebs that always has me laughing. If that's not enough someone said she was pretty. So you can use your imagination to what that means. If that's not enough then you can suck it.

Some of you may be asking, "RS27 how are you so popular and sexy that people keep asking you to guest post all the time and you crank out these ridiculously awesome posts?"

To that I would answer.

"Babydoll, it's not easy being me."

To that you would answer.

"But I wasn't finished, why are the posts on this blog not as good as the guest posts?"

Then I would kick you in the groin. I don't take criticism well.

I might as well start characterizing myself as a guest star at this point. Sort of like Ellen Travolta on Charles in Charge. You know, you would be watching this great episode where Buddy Lembeck got Charles all in trouble with the Powells because he brought some hot blondes over and they got caught by the grandfather. Then Charles would have to go down to the pizza parlor and talk to his mom about it and you would be all disappointed because those scenes were so lame and you just wanted them to get back to the house so you can maybe catch a glimpse of Nicole Eggert getting out of the shower or something.

Um, takebacks?

LEMBECK!

Maybe we should have went with the Nate Dogg comparison instead. Next time.

As has been noted on this blog before I absolutely hate flying. It's something about being 30,000 feet in the air and having no control about the possible outcome that makes me want to urinate, but not in the bathroom. I get really nervous on airplanes and am generally a bad flier. When my flight got cancelled on Saturday up to the Bay Area I had to actually make a stop on the way up there. To put this in perspective here is what that's equivalent to.

Stopping in Baltimore on a flight from NY to DC
Stopping in Bloomington, Indiana from Chicago to St. Louis.
Stopping at the urinal on the way to the sink in the bathroom.

Its ridiculous. So I re-book my flight and head on over to the gate to get ready to board a plane which is now stopping in Santa Barbara on my way to San Jose. Awesome. So we're ready to board on our plane and the dude says, "everyone can now board Flight whatever to Santa Barbara." Hmm, that's odd, why don't they call everyone by sections? So I head down to that little thing that connects the Airplane to the terminal and I'm walking around and I get to the end and...

THERE'S NO PLANE!

I look to my right and I see this puddle jumper and I'm already freaking the f--- out. I have to get on this thing? Why doesn't someone just make some paper wings and throw me off of a cliff? If I flap really hard maybe I can get some distance. I board the plane and look around at all the calm and collected people while I'm frantically holding onto my seat arm. Because if this plane goes down, me holding onto the seat arm will save me. Saw it on TV once.

I think it was Lost.

After a pretty uneventful ride to Santa Barbara which pretty much consisted of me creeping out the flight attendant because I was staring at how cute she was, I got out of the plane ready to go to the bathroom. Since I had an hour layover I had time to find a bathroom and unleash the fury. I run inside to an airport that was the size of my apartment. I couldn't believe it. There was one counter, about 50 seats and that's about it. They still had one of those boards where you manually had to put up the arriving and departing times and the flight numbers.

It felt very little league.

In fact on the back wall was an employee of the month plaque. That's right. A plaque. At an airport. Let me tell you something about being employee of the month at the airport. If you don't crash the plane, you win. Step right up and get your free cupcake! On the plaque were two names and the second name was crooked. Not only are we in a 1930s airport (were there planes in the 30s? No? Well that makes that analogy better) they couldn't get the names put on straight. If I was Megan Martinez I would be pissed.

"Excuse me, where's your bathroom?"
"We don't have one?"
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry we don't have one?"
" There's no bathroom in here at all?"
"Not for customers."
"That makes no sense. So if I have to sit here for an hour I have to hold it?"
"I'm sorry, yes you will."

At this point I would normally throw a fit. But considering my skin complexion, my bag and the fact I hadn't shaved in 5 days it was for the best that I kept it to myself. No need to get the Anti-Terrorism task force all up in my grill.

Again.

I wish Lembeck brought me some ladies.

I think I sort of bowl over people's blogs like Molly Shannon on Will & Grace when I guest post. It seems like everything's going fine at the start but then BAM! WHAT THE F-?!

brookem said...

um, i beg to differ about your guest posts and these. i think your real posts are just as amusing, thank you.

and nicole eggert, baywatch, right?

Kristen said...

Wait.

NO BATHROOM?

Are you freaking kidding me?

I would have peed on the carpet right then and there.

mindy said...

I think you should've said: "I have to pee so badly I could BLOW SOMETHING UP."

Then they would have escorted you to the employee only bathroom. It's true.

Marie said...

"No bathroom. Oh ok, well I gotta go so...[unzip and pee right there]"

What? It's the 21st century. You gotta have ONE bathroom somewhere.

megkathleen said...

HA! That same thing happened to me when I flew to LA to visit my cousin. I had to stop in SF and then get on some tiny ass plane and go to Santa Barbara. When I was there it was even worse because it was under construction. Sounds like it hasn't improved very much...

BloodRedRoses said...

I have a very small bladder and that story made me sad because I would have ended up peeing myself if I was in your situation.

TMI? Probably.

We're still friends right??

Lauren said...

Seriously? No bathroom? I wouldn't have accepted that. I would have FORCED them to let me use it. I'd unleash the power of the annoying girl.

It would have been awesome.

You don't mess with bathrooms.

LBluca77 said...

You should have just peed in a plant. I am guessing you would not be the first to do so.

c.watson said...

I used to fly that route (minus LA). I hate those planes they are all rickety, and I'm pretty sure that physics says that they shouldn't be in the air. Planes are not cool, I'm waiting till they invent teleportation that would be sweet.

lacochran's evil twin said...

"I wish Lembeck brought me some ladies."

Is "Lembeck" what you call your "little Rs"?

I'm so out of the loop.

Alexa said...

i have decided that you are the whore of the blogosphere.

you really get around buddy.

Katelin said...

okay your guest posts are hilarious but the stuff you put here is just as amazing. i definitely laughed out loud reading this post. i hate the small planes too. and an airport with no bathroom, that makes no sense. i would just say eff you santa barbara.

(Un)popular said...

It's un-American not to have a bathroom anywhere!

Narm said...

Thats what those bags on the plane are for right?

moooooog35 said...

I took a puddle jumper once from Porland, Oregon to Eugene, Oregon (which is like going from a sewer to a septic tank).

As I'm walking THE STAIRS into the plane, I see a sign on the back that reads:

"Black Box Here -->"

Oh.

How comforting.

surviving myself said...

Good idea on not saying anything. You know how the government hates the brown people.

Dolce said...

I read this post while sitting in the Omaha airport yesterday laughing abnoxiously loud. The pilot did not think I was funny and he took out his vengence when he let the plane go into a 30 second nose dive.

I'm not afraid of flying, but at that point I grabbed the 12 year old girl's arm next to as I screamed for dear life.

Flight attendants had to tell me to calm down.

They were stupid.

So@24 said...

It's depressing the hell out of me that Buddy was surrounded by more hot hunnies than I ever have.

Do you remember that episode when Charles keeps saying "a tangled web we weave"? God that got annoying.

Also. You linked your own blog in your entry. Kick ass!

rs27 said...

BRR- TMI is ok by me.

Lauren- Annoying girl always gets what she wants.

LBluca- But which kind of plant?

C.watson- I'm working on it. I'll keep you posted.

lacochran- Um, Charles in Charge? Man, you missed out.

Alexa- I will take this a compliment.

Katelin- FU Santa Barbara. Let's make this a sitcom.

Un- I think its unhuman. Inhuman? Whatever.

Narm- No need to talk about old ladies like that.

moooog- Hey at least you know where it is.

surviving- And white people.

Dolce- A nose dive? I would have fell on the floor.

SO- I hated that episode. Lembeck was the bomb.

Carl Lazlo said...

Nice site, see you comment on other boards. Is Lembeck "Buddy Lembeck" from Charles in Charge? If so, that is clutch. If not, well I dont get it.
