I was recently listening to my Rollins spoken word CDs–getting pre-syched for his October appearance in Atlantic City, ‘cos I bought myself tix, dontcha know.

Pondering the peculiarity of a phrase often used over airport intercoms:

Thank you for flying the friendly skies. It’s like United has their own set of skies!

“We only fly in the friendly parts. That’s why we will not go to Philadelphia International Airport. ‘Cos we only fly the friendly places.”

Damn, I love our curmudgeonly rep. I mean, when Rollins is calling you aggressive or unfriendly, you know you got it going on.
