It was a warm summers eve on plane bound for nowhere when I met up with a gambler and we were both too tired to sleep.

Sat next to Fred Couples once when I got a first class upgrade.

The kicker was that Deltalina was our flight attendant. She is way hotter in person than she is in that video.

Fred was a nice guy.

Chatted with Paul Finebaum on a flight out of Charlotte. One of the nicest people I have ever met.

Soldier traveling with a German Shepherd to their next post was pretty cool to.

I've sat next to Bo Diddley and Alice Cooper but the most interesting by far was a model named Rowanne Brewer. She was carrying copies of the magazine linked below and gave me one and wrote down her number. We were both living in LA and she said she dated Donald Trump. We chatted a few times after that but we never did meet. Seemed like a cool chick.

Not on a flight, but on a shuttle to the airport...Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson - former NFL and '70s blaxploitation movie star. Talked to him a bit at the airport. Dude is one badass mofo. Even in his late 70s, the guy just has charisma. He seemed to enjoy the attention too. He even quizzed me on what some of his movies were so he'd know that I really knew who he was. Just an awesome guy. Badass, but also very friendly. And definitely a ladies man. He had a tight grip on my wife when she took a pic with him.

La Supreme Court Justice John Weimer. Had no clue who he was even after he told me his name. He finally had to tell me who he was. We had a few beers and shot the shite like a couple of baws.


You thought this was worthy of noting?
The Wiem is just a normal guy, albeit very unathletic.

Pharrell Williams on a flight from Miami to the Bahamas. Very laid back dude. Strange clothes, but a good guy.

Back in the 90s I sat next to an executive for a long distance company in Atlanta, this was on a turbo prop from Lafayette to Atlanta with a stop in Meridian, so it took forever, talked the whole way. On our decent into Atlanta he gives me an 800 number, says to call it in a few days and he'd have some free long distance minutes set up for me, he wasn't lying, started with about 1200 mins, then when that ran down it replenished several more times. I didn't pay long distance for years, which was huge back then.

How many non-legal types would know who is on the LA Supreme Court? The only one I know is John Weimer, and not because he is on the Supreme Court.


I would assume none would. My point is we were conversing and had a few beers just bullshiting then we figured out we had a lot of mutual friends and I asked what he did and he dropped that he was on the la supreme
Court. Just was kinda funny that I would have never expected that.

I hate when people try and talk to me on a plane. Just frick off and let me watch Spider-Man Homecoming with no interruptions about why you're flying to Kansas City. I got enough friends, loser.

Okay, I understand now. I thought you recognized him or knew who was on the court.

He's an interesting guy and can probably hold an intelligent conversation on almost any topic. He can be very funny in social settings. Very quick wit.

Flew from Amsterdam to Atlanta. 10 hour flight. Guy I sat next to was a high ranking officer in the Army. Could listen to him talk the whole time. Very interesting stories.

Adema's tour bus broke down on i10 and I gave them all a ride into baton rouge.

They were nice. A little druggy. And one of them at four big bags of beef jerky on what was a 10 mile drive.

Gave me 200 bucks for it.

As for flight, I have taken a plane ride with Edwin Edwards. Rode with his pilot a half dozen times as well.

Played clue with the Hornets on a flight from NOLA
