Overheard in LAX

If you sit next to me in the terminal, I reserve every right to overhear you and mock you on the Internet.


"What's up, ho?"
...
"You mind me calling you a ho?"
...
"I just playing."
...
"Yeah, we're going to North Carolina."
...
"You got what? Glasses?"
...
"I had to charge my phone."
...
"Alright bye."


Then he looked around wildly as a plane flew overhead.

Five minutes later.

"I love you too. But I'm getting a little impatient. You said you would call me back. It's been five minutes. I'm just charging my phone and eating my little MacFlurry. I love you, babe. Call me back."

Two minutes later.

"Mama. I'm looking at my boarding pass and it says my flight from Los Angeles departs at 11:45 tonight and it doesn't say whenever it lands. And it says my other boarding pass from Atlanta, Georgia to Raleigh-Durham departs at 7:30 am. It must be a big time difference, huh?"
...
"What, a 7-hour time difference?"
...
"I'm trying to figure out the time difference."
...
"You sound like you're sick."
...
"Well, if you're sleeping, I'll let you go." [Note: it's 1 am Eastern]
...
"I just hate fucking airports."
...
"You still there?"
...
"My phone keeps beeping."
...
"No, it ain't dead. Someone is trying to call."
...
"So what you doing tomorrow?"


Then his phone died. I don't know how this happened considering it was plugged into the wall, but it did.

Vote of Confidence of the Day


So I was listening to Nancy Pelosi talk this morning about the bailout bill. This is a direct quote:

"Will it work? We'll see."
