This here Internet is a finite resource. We don't want to use it all up because once we reach Peak Internet, well, it's all over, isn't it?

For your information, I'll have you know that when I read this post, I laughed my ass off. I haven't stopped laughing. I see those planes flying around all the time, and never put it together that it was Hendrix on there. Or if it's some Eskimo dude, he looks a hell of a lot like Hendrix.

This is the kind of post I like. There was no death, no one was wronged, and I'm laughing. And laughing saves. Kiss the sky, Harvey, then stick that up your ass too.

Remember the prayer cards they used to hand out with all the meals?

Back on topic... I have the Alaska Airlines Visa card from B of A with my picture on it, and I've always wanted to get an Eskimo parka and get my picture re-taken with it on.

Will somebody Photoshop that Jimi pic on to the tail of that plane? Please?

Then I thought his face looked too puffy and wondered what the hell he would have to do with Alaska anyway. After that I assumed he was the paint happy trees guy, at least he does purty Alaskan landscapes.

In the GGFF worldview, Eskimos are like Penguins: Cute and cuddly (from a distance - you'd want neither in your Living Room) and distinctly non-threatening.

Unlike an uppity, drug-addled colored guitar player that gets the teenage girls all worked up. You certainly wouldn't want someone like THAT on your airplane.

When I moved here 10 years ago (from a town that Alaska Air didn't service) I first thought it was Jimi too!

Just another chip away at the old hick me.
