Ok over the last two days there has been report after report concerning this incident that recently happen concerning Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines. If you haven’t listen to his pod cast then you need to and can here at SModcast.com number 106. Now I have listen to his recount of the entire incident, now if you will take the time and listen you will hear Kevin state that he was upset about what happen to him but more importantly he got upset with what happen to a young lady that was sitting next to him on the second flight that finally got on that afternoon.
In a nut shell he finished up early on a gig he was doing and was put on standby at the airport for a earlier flight, in hopes to get home a little earlier and be with his family. He was removed after being seated, all right fine what ever no big deal in my opinion, however make sure you listen all the way through to the end of the pod cast be cause that’s where it gets really interesting and you will hear why he really becomes upset and if it’s true why it even upsets me as well.
I have yet to see this point brought out other than in his original pod cast, no other news outlet that I have be able to find bring this point out. Now I’m sure that I have no huge following like Mr. Smith or any of the other news outlet, I wish I did because this is just being glossed over and that is upsetting.
Have you ever seen or been in a situation where you wished you had a camera because if you did then you could send it in and win the $25,000.00 grand prize? Well this was one of those times I hope you enjoy my embarrassment.
When you first get married you work hard to try and impress your in-laws, my farther in law was a self employed mechanic and cattle rancher. So my wife and I was visiting her parents for the weekend, and my farther-in-law had a couple of cows that had calved; and he needed to get them up and milk the cows because their teat’s had swollen to large that the calves couldn’t get the teat’s in their mouths. Now don’t ask me how this happens I have no idea, I’m not a vet and I’m not sure if this was actually a situation or if my new in-laws where setting me up, so keep this in mind as you finish reading my story. My father-in-law told me the plan was to catch the calves and for me and my brother-in-law to hold them in the back of a truck. So plan was all going well we caught the calves and drove them to the holding pen, after arrival there, my father-in-law told us to pick up the calves and carry them into the pen where the squeeze shoot. Now to answer your question a squeeze shoot is a device that they put cattle into which restrains the cow/bull allowing the rancher to do what ever it is that is needing to be done. In our case he was going to milk the cows and that was supposed to reduce the size of the teat’s and then I guess allow the calves to nurse from then on. I don’t know I was just trying to impress remember….
So my brother-in-law and I each grab a calf and start into the holding corral, now my brother-in-law calf was laying still just chilling. Mine I think mine had had a double espresso cause it went completely nuts, now before I tell you this next part what I write I swear is completely the truth no exaggeration in any sense of the word. So as I said as I was carrying this calf to the holding pen starting going nuts, my hands are full and about three steps into the trip my pants fell to my feet and to top it off this calf unloaded this runny manure all down my side. My father and brother in-law’s start laughing to the point they are crying. I can’t do anything but stand there with cow crap running down my side can’t walk can’t pull my pants up because if I do I would have to put this calf down which defeats the whole purpose. I wish I had a movie camera because then at least I could have been paid.
Today while doing some mindless surfing I came across an article I could not believe. Jenni Miller over at “Cinematical” was writing about how Paramount has given the Coen Brothers the the green light to re-make True Grit!
I have two questions to pose to you.
Why do production company/movie studios think that we as consumers are so stupid, that we will continue to just take what they regurgitate out to us.
More importantly, why do consumers do this. Come on people quit being sheep!
Now they have in my opinion stepped on sacred ground, when you start re-making movies staring John Wayne you have crossed the line people. I don’t care who they put in this film it will suck period you can not improve on excellence!
Ok after much contemplation, I have decided to let you in on a huge secret. Men are pretty stupid, case in point look at this video.
Now see a pretty girl get the gullible guy to come to her, then she leaves him holding the proverbiale bag and to thank him for being that stupid she then punches him in the nuts.
Over twenty years go when I was in high school, I was witness to a couple of girls who decided to get into a fight. They slapped at each other and called each other names nothing to serious and I don’t even think they broke a nail.
Fast forward twenty plus years and things have changed greatly. This morning a couple of girls decided to have a fight. Now the big difference from then to now is this, they actually fight! None of the slap and clawing that went on it was an all out brawl with double up fist and round house punches. It took four grown men to separate them.
I know that most think that out with the old and in with the new is a good deal, however I wonder what happen to the ladies and gentlemen of old.
