Comments on Kiss the Sky

Hey, I always thought it was Johnny Cash.

What the fuck was the point of writing this bullshit? Who cares!!??

an alaskan friend says when she was a kid, she thought it was god.

It's a fucking blog, Harvey, they can write whatever they damned-well want.

Get over yourself.

And I always thought it looked like Burt Lahr as the Cowardly Lion

I’m sorry, Harvey, I’ll stop hogging all the Internet. I don’t want to clog it, since we know it’s a series of tubes....

Yes, Dominic, please be more thoughtful about what you post. 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?

One of my friends, when she was a kid, thought it was Neil Diamond.

I flew for more than 10 hours one day and I blurry sleepy eyed looked out the tiny fuzzy window when we landed in SFO and I thought it was Che.

Harvey, have a glass of milk, and then chill out, and then go ahead and stick the glass up your ass.

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.

The idea that the vaguely Christian-ish and definitely lilly-white Alaska Airlines would have a "heathen" like Hendrix on their planes is a hoot.

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

They still hand out the cards with Psalms and Proverbs on them with 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?

Um, Catalina, aren't eskimoes considered "heathens" by Good God-Fearing Folk (GGFF)? Or have they all been converted?

I totally thought that was Hendrix when I first flew out here too. 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.

Comte, don't be silly. 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.

I assumed it was Abraham Lincoln until, like, 2 years ago. But I like Neil Diamond better.

OMG I thought I was the only one!!!

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.

Hendrix? That ain't Hendrix, that's Bob frickin' Marley. Sheesh, Hendrix.

Fur hood. Classic. Love it.

I enjoy all the posts on the Slog, serious, silly, thoughtful. Keep 'em all coming!
