fun times with ground delays

so we'resitting at the jetbridge waiting to head to the runway to take off to go to Denver. pilots get a call that there's a ground stop due to weather. at least 45 min. joy.

so im bored to death and am trying to make the pax happy so i bring around a tray of waters to offer to people.

i pass this kid and he's sitting next to a big yellow bag thats in the shape of a baby kyak. we're going to Denver so i assume its some sort of hiking equipment. i casually ask him whats in the case... little did i know i was opening pandora's box.

so he lights up and gets really excited. he opens it up and pulls out a beautiful violin. i clapped and went "oooohhhh, its gorgeous!" i then started to continue up the aisle and i hear it. da duh da duh da duh da duh da duhhhh" pink panther theme. he's bopping behind me playing pink panther on his violin.

it was kind of cute, for about 8 seconds. cute until he proceed to follow me up to the galley. he played pink pather for literally 10 minutes straight up and down the aisle.

maybe he was flirting. maybe he was showing off. maybe he just really liked pink panther.

you never know what will happen during a ground stop...

layover in lauderdale

so i am early for my flight to baltimore and i am in ft. lauderdale chillin on E councourse.

i am currently sitting next to a lady blaring spanish ballads from her laptop while watching the lyrics scroll across the screen (youtube style) and is loudly singing along. "nuevo contigooooo"

hilarious.
