Dear Alaska Pipeline: Thank you for your blessed petrochemicals.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What is even happening?
Fats Domino? The pool player?
The pool player is Minnesota Fats. Fats Domino is the singer/pianist: I found my thrill, on Blueberry Hill.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He might have played pool, Nutty, but it's hardly what he's famous for.
Jesse, I aim for 90 minutes these days, just because. Insanity.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
They were discussing his interview with Diane Sawyer this morning on the radio, and apparently (I missed it, fortunately), he was in full inappropriate-smirk mode, which confused and concerned the radio host. "Why is he smiling? Doesn't he know how wrong it makes him look?"
You can see clips of it on abcnews.com. I wonder if it's a nervous tic or something because it's really disturbing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would believe them Jesse. There were several times at LAX when 90 minutes was cutting it way too close.
Seriously? Oy. This is why I hate flying anything that's not the USAir Shuttle.
Fats Domino? The pool player?
I believe you are thinking of Minnesota Fats.

I just got an email from the airline, saying I should get to the airport two hours early tomorrow. I will already have my boarding pass at that point. Is there any way just going through security will take two hours? I mean, REALLY.
If you're checking luggage, you might need 2 hours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Seriously? Oy.
Seriously, and that was with only carry on luggage (or what Jessica said).

I am not checking luggage. All I have to do is go through security and to the gate.
Eh. It's not a huge problem for me to get there early, I'll just be cranky as my travel time is doubled.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Fats Domino? The pool player?
Piano, ya kook. He did "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill."
But Corwood, cocaine is so passé!
I just figured that you hire a fisherman to fish, y'know, so let the man do what he's best at.
Damn job, making me all x-posty.

Which airport? I was sitting on my ass at LGA for 90 minutes last weekend because the cab ride was much less traffic-y than I'd expected. But that was before the hurricane -- I don't know if/how much that's changed things for NYC airports or not.
