Nut Rage Woman

#bobblog  #randomthoughts  #nutragewoman


In case you missed it, last December, Korean Air exec, Heather Cho, got a little nuts about nuts onboard a Korean Air flight.  She apparently was served macadamia nuts that she didn’t ask for.  I’m trying to put myself in her shoes and I can’t even imagine how that must have felt.  I mean, she didn’t even ask for them.  And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the attendant served them still in the bag.  Yeah…STILL IN THE BAG!!...Not in a bowl, the only civil way to serve a nut…But in a bag!...Crazy talk.  We’ll like anyone put in a position like this, Heather confronted the attendants, started poking the chef steward with a rolled up service manual, and ultimately ordered the plane to abort its taxiing and return to the terminal so they could rid the plane of these barbaric, nut serving weirdos.   Well unfortunately, in a turn a fate much like the Shawshank Redemption, Heather was unfairly sentenced to a year in jail for deviating a flight and assault with a service manual.  The good news, after a four month stretch in a peanut free, minimum security prison, Heather is out of the joint.

Run Fauja run...

#bobblog   #randomthoughts  #runfaujarun

Meet Fauja Singh.  He's a 104 year old world record holding runner.  At age 100 he captured eight world age group records...in one day!  Let's just say, the competition in the 100+ age group is a little watered down.  And I can't lie, I kind of feel like it's a little ostentatious to grab all the records in one day.  Kind of rubbing our nose in the fact that he can set records when-ever-he-feels-like-it.  It's Fauja's world and we're just living in it. As he didn't start running until he was 89, there was a fleeting glimmer of hope that I could follow in his footsteps, so to speak.  But when he attributed his success to going to bed early and abstaining from smoking, drinking, eating meat or fried foods...I say Fauja that shit! 

Tweetza...

Domino's has just revolutionized pizza ordering.  Just tweet a pizza emoji to @Dominos and knock knock...who's there?...your pizza!  We're talking a 5 second transaction here.  That's awesome!  It would be even better if their pizza didn't taste like you were eating the box it came in, but hey...props for the convenience.  In a somewhat related story, with the help of Snoop D O double G, pot delivery service "Eaze" raised $10 million in seed money (see what I did there) in hopes of expanding its on demand delivery reach beyond the SF Bay area.  You can use Eaze's phone app to order your...ahem...medicinal needs.  So with the push of a button and an average 15 minute wait you can be doing more than sippin' on gin and juice, yo!

Giving new meaning to house...wife

#bobblog   #randomthoughts  #howmuchforyouwife

Wina Lia recently put her house on the market.  The house comes with a fishpond, the appliances are negotiable, and if you pay asking price...ah, what the heck...we'll throw in a 40 year old Indonesian lady!  Yeah, Wina Lia of Yogyakarta, Indonesia has been having financial adversity and has been "looking for a husband anyway", so she decided to make it a package deal.  Buy the house and you get a wife!  Wina did make it clear that she is in charge of the pre-approval process and is not into any of that kinky third party mortgage business.  Also, the early payoff penalty is half your shit.  It seems to be working for her.  The open house was a big hit (shocker).  But please be sensitive when it comes time to go through the punch list...

I'm Slim Shady, I'm the real Slim Shady...

I like all music, including rap.  My favorite part of rap music are the names.  You have the classics like Ol' Dirty Bastard, Biggie Smalls, and all of the ices (T, Cube, Vanilla).  Flo Rida giving a shout out to his home state.  Hopefully there are no up and coming female artists from Boise.  There are some lessor know but potential classics in Ghostface Killah, Jibbs (I think he does some hobby boating), 2 Chainz (feels like he set himself up to be overthrown by 3 Chainz, seems too high risk), and Q-Tip because Cotton Ballz wasn't street enough.  But my favorite is either Smif-N-Wesson because it's just fun to say, or Chali 2na.  That's Chali 2na as in "we're not looking for tunas with good taste, we're looking for tunas that taste good".  I wanted to come up with my own but B.O.B. is already taken.  But www.myrapname.com generated one for me...Poppa Bobby aka Home Dog Swagg.  I am a father and I feel like I still have a little Swagg left in me so I'll take it.
