~ Rapping Flight Attendant ~

by Tina~in_ut

The Rappin' Flight Attendant


I fly to see my dad at least once a month. I rarely listen to the flight attendants anymore. I know the routine. After the U.S. Airways flight landed in the Hudson, I sat up and paid closer attention, especially since I was sitting in the exit row. I even looked at the instructions for opening the exit door, as I was sitting in the window seat! I've noticed that the flight attendants are more diligent and make sure that those in the exit row are paying attention. On my last flight, the FA told us all to get off of our cell phones and listen to her! I just laughed. She had a point, but I really had to call my mom to let her know I made the flight since I fly standby, and my husband, to let him know I made the flight so he could invite his girlfriend over. (just kidding!) When I saw this video of the Southwest Airlines employee changing it up a bit to make sure that everyone listened to him, I just had to share it. I hope you get a kick out of it like I did.

    Congrats on 1st scrishy.

    Tina~ loved the rapping FA!! This really made me laugh because of a conversation with the FA son last night.

    He has been sick and was flying the red eye to Boston from SF last night. He said he was going to get on, tell them to shut up, sit down and don't ask for anything because he didn't feel well. I LOL and said that should go over big! I am going to send him this video.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    IBB: It's a vicious circle, isn't it? You need some sleep to help you figure something out, but the very thing you need to figure out, is keeping you awake. I hope you get some sleep soon..and answers become clearer to you!

  24. Happy Saturday Owls.

    The painter should be here any minute and hopefully will finish up today.

    Tina, We had quite a comedian on my last Southwest flight to San Diego. The FAs get irritated when the passengers get up the minute the wheels touch down,so this one was giving the usual speech right before touch down, but she said "please stay seated until my boyfriend...I mean the captain, turns off the seat belt sign. I did hear a few chuckles.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Scirish, congrats on beating out Tina for #1 today.

    Jodi, Taxi Mom on the road again.

    Zona, Why won't you fly Southwest?

    Tinka, good to see you back.

    Waving to Carol, LynnD, Goldie, IBB, Bear, MEK, and all who land today. BBL

  26. Ok had my cawfee Zona and I am flying!

    Waving at Goldie is Mr. G feeling better? Hope so!

    Ibb melatonin helps me with insomnia. Health food section.

    Morning Whabby you are up and about early!

    Hi Tinka funny Mr. Lynn D made a prime rib yesterday and it was delicious. I am not a big beef eater either but it hit the spot.

    MEK hope Mr. MEK is recuperating and able to get up and around.

    Need to hit the laundry and then run errands. Be back later.

    ReplyDelete

    yesterday I layed down for a nap... the phone rang 3 times and company came over...just not happening...

    ReplyDelete
  32. So much for my wonderful weekend so far. The stump guy that was supposed to be here "first thing in the morning" has not shown up yet and apparently SO and I are having a fight. I'm not exactly sure what we are having a fight about though, since we don't seem to be talking to each other.

    On the plus side....I'm getting a lot of laundry done and it's a wonderful 66 degrees out!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I talk to VIG for an hour and the number is still at 50. Zona, I think I shut down the blog better than anyone. I wonder if there is a prize for that.

    VIG - Great talking to you.

    Have a wonderful afternoon everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bear - Thank you for the "Welcome back". I haven't gone far. I am just trying to get some of my hobbies done.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi everyone!

    Tina, loved the video. I have a feeling that after Lent you could do a little colorful rapping yourself! lol!

    Happy # 1 Scirish!

    Jodi,since when do Mother's get days off? lol! I hope you can squeeze some "Jodi" time in there somewhere!

    LynnD, Melatonin always gave me nightmares. If I can't sleep it is because Mr Mary is having a Miller Lite drinking contest with a buzz saw!

    Bebbi texted me this morning. She said there are new "traveling necklace" pictures on her MS.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Lynn, I hope the painter doesn't have a crush on me. SHE has another job in the mornings during the week, so she has only been here in the afternoon. Today she showed up at 11:30 - was supposed to be here at 9:00. So we may be looking at aother paint day tomorrow unless she works til very late tonight. Oy!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Scirish, Just go to the Bead show and leave the stump...umm guy...to the SO

    ReplyDelete
  38. Barb...I should have!! The stump guy never showed...I fell asleep and woke up with a stomach ache....SO is still in the den....Bleh!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Tinka - SacBarb can shut down the blog better than you can!!!

    (Barb - you know that I say that with MUCH LOVE!!!!)

    :-)

    is the painter still there??!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. scirish - sorry you didn't make it to your bead thing...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Mek - There is a group of us who seem to able to shut down the blog. We feel very special because we must be extremely powerful to be able to do that.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Happy Saturday!

    We've had a busy day here. I just watered the patio plants and then put shrimp in some marinade for dinner. So finally have time to read the blog!

    Tina, I love that video! Looked like the passengers were really into it, too.

    Congrats on 1st today Scirish! Sorry you and your SO are not talking :( But just think about the making up part! :))))))

    Speaking of cawfee, does anyone have this experience? I make the same brand every day, same amount of water, same cawfee maker.

    Some days it is better than others. The cup I made this morning was sooooo good!

    Maybe it's just me??? I am curious to find out if anyone else has that happen.

    I will check back later!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Hooters!

    thanks for asking- Mr. Goldie feels like 10 miles of bad road. He rallied for a couple hours late this a.m. but has gone downhill since.

    EBJ- Totally agree about the cawfee thingy!

    HI TINK!!!!!!!!
    Back go your regularly scheduled programming.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sacbarb you never know! LOL

    EBJ I would blame the cawfee thing on hormones but I blame everything on homones!

    Tinka you are one powerful woman! LOL

    Goldie Mr. Goldie may have to resort to the antibiotics. I felt like he did for 2 1/2 weeks. Yuck!

    Well we went to see the movie Knowing. I just have to say I am finally admitting I am not a Nick Cage fan.

    Lord someone needs to tell him to lay off the eyeliner and if they have to dye his hair they should do it the week before shooting the film. I swear the last two movies I saw him in I have been so damned distracted by the bad dye jobs and make up!

    Oh and the movie well lets just say it was ok until the end. I will leave it at that.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hah I don't get to do that very often! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  46. MEK, I have a gift!!!!!
    And yes, the painter is still here.

  48. Me? Bad? LOL!

    Zona: The day started off nice, with tennis in the nice sunshine. Then, though, I had to work all afternoon. We are starting to run astronauts in our lab on Monday, and all kinds of software testing needed to be done today! :(

    ReplyDelete
  49. Good Night All. See you at church tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Whabbear how do you "run" an astronaut? or shouldn't I ask lol!

    ReplyDelete
  51. That was supposed to be "hi Tinka" lol!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Tink: Glad to hear you're taking some time for hobbies!

    Mary: We strap them down in a chair that's connected to a vibration platform, a wood slab that moves the chair at high frequency (10-12 hz) and up to 0.70 gx amplitude. While they're vibrating, we get them to perform tasks. By measuring how well they perform the tasks, we can assess what levels of vibration they can tolerate and still operate the new spacecraft we're building to take them back to the moon.

    The period of vibration they're going to experience is only about a 10 second burst about a minute and half after launch, but the astronauts are all over finding out whether they can still read and process information on their cockpit displays during that period!

  53. Congrats on first scirish!

    Tina: I love SWA. They always have the funniest and funnest flights because of their sense of humor. Great stuff, thanks for sharing! :) I hadn't heard him although, I have flown SWA a lot.

    I posted several videos, the Traveling necklace had a busy day going to Bowling Green, Kentucky (home of the Corvette & Corvette Museum). I hope you stop by MS and enjoy them!

    Going to read comments.

    that was such an awesome feeling... to be standing standing there telling someone how bad your night had been... ( seemed like everything I touched tonight turned to shit)... and on top of that your week started with lossing 20 bucks... she was like ... I found 20 bucks right where you are standing. and that is where we stand to Cash Out.. sooo she gave me the money... that was such a wonderful thing to do... she didn't have to tell me she found it...

    ReplyDelete

  59. Al Michael's Sporting REPORT..

    anyone watching the women's world Figure skating event.

    Witnessed history tonight - with the new scoring, no woman has ever scored more than 200 points - and the champ did it tonight.

    sadly - the USA didn't place high enough - and we will only have two slots at the upcoming Olympic games..

    Okay - back to your regular scheduled programing...
