Peter King Travel Note of The Week

[Boom_70]

Aggravating/Enjoyable Travel Note of the Week

I took the redeye from L.A. to Atlanta last Monday night, then connected Tuesday morning to Newark.

Aisle seat in coach on a jumbo jet from LAX to Atlanta. Two seats on either side, with three seats in the middle row. I'm on the left of one of those three-seaters. TE Boyfriend and Mary Beth are next to me in the other two seats. They put a blanket over their head upon takeoff. There is movement under the blanket. I'm creeped out. I try to fall asleep. Every 10 minutes or so a leg or arm jolts me slightly. Are they stretching to sleep, somehow? Are they doing something else? No one knows. After an hour or so they fall asleep. Blanket stays over their heads until we're cleared for landing. Then they sit up and get un-disheveled.

Don't ask me what was going on under there. I don't want to know. You don't either.

Don't ask me why the world wants to know about this. Don't ask me why he didn't just move the friggin' blanket.

Chances are though, Mary Beth was giving handskies out like they were candy.

Peter King flies coach?

What the hell did he think they were doing?

Hahahahahaha...oh, Peter.

Peter King flies coach?

Hey, he had to pony up for three tickets.

I'm playing Peter or Parody, and praying for the parody.

Somewhere on the interwebs, Mary Beth wrote a blog about how her father put a blanket over his, and Brett Favre's head just after takeoff.

Actually, it's damn near word for word...

This is as disturbing as his adventures with the bowel cleaner.

I just got the whole story. Damn near word for word.

I liked this part, and I hope we can all help:

f. If you see me in an airport or hotel or camp the next three weeks, stop me and tell me what you want in this column.

Cowbell... his columns need more cowbell

 

[Tiger16]

What we need...is more...handskies

Excellent term

My God that's the type of **** you'd expect to read in a high school newspaper. A bad high school newspaper. Who the **** cares?

Actually, I think it's great for the world to know that Mary Beth is promiscuous enough to give out handskies while sitting in a seat next to her father. Now guys who meet her in a bar know they probably don't even need to buy her a drink to get her in a bathroom stall.

Yeesh ... I can't believe a father would put that story about his own daughter on the web.

 

[JakeandElwood]

He actually put that in his column? What an idiot.

Peter King flies coach?

This must not have been a SI-funded trip.

 

[Ace]

I'm glad he did. I'm gonna avoid those blue airplane blankets for sure now.

Touche. I guess it was a public service.

Outing alert: 21 is Mary Beth King!!! :o :o :o

Get rid of it all. Get rid of the videos, and the two peanuts wrapped in foil, and the dribble of warm Coke in the chemical ice. Get rid of the moldy pillows and skanky blankets that some baby threw up on or some freak jizzed in. Get rid of the crabby flight attendants and the crummy headset music and the inflight magazines. Get rid of it all.

Just put the people in the ****ing seats for which they paid exhorbitant prices, take off when you promised, and get to where you're going on time. That's it. Just do that, and we'll all be thrilled.

I knew someone would remember the line about jizzed blankets. You guys never disappoint. 8)
