Trashed
Posted by TFG on 14th September 2007
I’m utterly out of it — too much with the work. Frankly, I’d much rather be working than wasting time here clogging up the tubes that run the internet. There are some things that deserve my attention, though:
Pretty standard corporate dumbassery at Southwest Airlines - get rich being the contrarian, become a boehemoth everyone adores, tighten the screws on your customers. Note that all this dumbassery happened after Herb and his Scotch with cigarettes stepped down and they put a woman in charge. Here’s a dress code I’d like to see enforced — no more fooking flip-flops, male or female. I want sensible shoes on all passengers. When the mofo goes down, I don’t want to have to climb over inert footless schmoes to get to the exits. And if we go down in harsh territory, I don’t want to have to command a crew of shoeless dicks. At a minimum, I want printed on the back of the ticket with the rest of the Geneva Conventions that you have to stay with burnt-out airframe, and I don’t have to save your idiot ass, because you chose to wear slaps.
Kevin also found some lame-ass Kenny Chesney interview that he makes hilarious. The only reason I link this is that I was drinking after work and found a Waylon Jennings* CD on the jukebox and none of it sucked. The tortured Nashville line from Waylon to Kenny makes me want to vomit. I left a few songs on the $5 I put in it, though, and some gal played the Dixie Chicks, chittering on about how great they were. To be modern, I played Leeann Rimes to shut her up.
I feel like a perv watching this video, so go to another tab and just listen to her voice. That’s strong stuff, kids.
*Waylon doing a Shaver song…audio sucks, but hell, it’s Waymore.
More genius Waylon, with a young Robert Duvall:
If she’ll leave her mama, son, she’ll shore leave you
Oh, hell, here’s a damn fine song:
Man, I love that Telecaster sound a whole lot. Kristofferson still strikes me as a posing California peacock, though.
Hell, this turned into a Waylon love-fest. Sorry…good stuff, Maynard. Makes me happy.
