The party’s over.\u00a0 The parade is done.\u00a0So this will have to be THE final word on Super Bowl 50 then we\u2019ve all gotta get back to our real lives.<\/p>\n
You know what\u2019s more fun than flying into Denver on Christmas Eve 1992?! Flying into Denver on Superbowl 50 Sunday with the Denver Broncos gunnin\u2019 for the win!<\/p>\n
Christmas Eve 1992, there were free movies on every screen, free champagne flowing like a river, hot meals being glad-handed left and right (have two if you want!),\u00a0right before landing,\u00a0little boxes of\u00a0chocolate distributed to one and all. We had fresh blankets!\u00a0 And pillows!\u00a0 An entire row all to ourselves!!\u00a0 Why couldn\u2019t that flight go on and on!?\u00a0 It was The.\u00a0 Best.\u00a0 Flight.\u00a0 Ever.<\/p>\n
Then there was my flight last Sunday \u2013 when I had the privilege of flying Frontier Airlines. Into Denver.\u00a0 While the Broncos were playing in Super Bowl 50.\u00a0 Come ON!\u00a0 What could be more fun than that?!\u00a0 And by \u201cmore fun\u201d I mean I\u2019m totally lying; it was awful.<\/p>\n
Because now that we\u2019re from the future, Frontier has yanked out every creature comfort from their planes, including all the t.v.\u2019s. So we had to rely on the pilot to give us the score from the cockpit as it was unfolding.\u00a0 Apparently the cockpit is where the only t.v. on the plane now lives.\u00a0 Which seems a little weird, if you ask me.\u00a0 Afterall, you wouldn\u2019t want to distract a pilot with a lot of t.v. watching because he\u2019s\u2026uh\u2026BUSY FLYING A PLANE!!!<\/p>\n
But Captain flies his plane in a democracy, so pre-flight he asked for a show of hands: who didn\u2019t want scores from the magic box in his office announced mid-flight. Two people raised their hands so Cappy, wanting ALL his passengers satisfied, declined to read out the scores.\u00a0 Flippin\u2019 hilarious, Cappy. Love the stand-up routine. <\/em><\/p>\n At which point we took the hand-raisers out back, did that thing we learned in prison with the sweatsock and soap, then\u00a0asked for a re-count, and surprise! All the passengers were then satisfied and demanding score updates.<\/p>\n Which Cappy proceeded to provide in some weird rendition of open mic night. But one of those bad, bad open mic nights, definitely not those good ones.\u00a0 He would hum the duh, nuh, nuh, duhnuhnuh theme song and then come on with his sleepy voice all, \u201cHidey Ho, Folks.\u00a0 It\u2019s the bottom of the first quarter and the score is now 10 to nuthin\u2019.\u00a0 Who do you think is in the lead?!\u201d<\/p>\n Ok, are there beers being served where he is? He has the t.v. AND the beers??\u00a0 Everyone knows that there\u2019s a direct correlation between the Superbowl, t.v. and beers (Budweiser* to be exact).\u00a0 Clearly Cappy\u2019s got it goin\u2019 ON in the cockpit based on what I can hear from open mic night.\u00a0\u00a0Totally unfair because there\u2019s no beer back here \u2013 none even being OFFERED for PURCHASE.\u00a0 Only hot-tea-made-with-nonpotable-water-from-the-bathroom-faucet-I\u2019m-not-even-kidding-I-saw-it for $1.99.\u00a0 And a salami-and-cracker combo that saves you fifty cents, FIFTY CENTS, but costs you TWELVE DOLLARS if you buy it in the combo.\u00a0 How much for just the\u00a0salami by itself?\u00a0 Or maybe the crackers??\u00a0 Betcha Cappy’s got steak up there, num, num, num.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDuh, nuh, nuh, duhnuhnuh. Hidey Ho, Folks.\u00a0 I have steak up here, howz about you?\u00a0 Oh, and it\u2019s the top of the second quarter and the score is now 13 to 7.\u00a0 Broncos.\u201d<\/p>\n *I\u2019ve heard Manning\u2019s Budweiser plug ended up being worth almost $14 MILLION dollars. So I\u2019m hoping mine will net me $139.\u00a0 Just plain dollars would be fine.\u00a0 That will be enough to cover the one-way cost Frontier charged me to carry on my luggage,\u00a0plus\u00a0the fee I had to pay at check-in for my seat (even though I already paid\u00a0for my seat back when I first bought it\u00a0and it was called a ticket).\u00a0 And while I didn’t buy any food or drinks, what with the way things are going and all here in the future of air travel, I’ll probably OWE Frontier\u00a0for mentioning them in my blog.\u00a0\u00a0Budweiser, please send my check soonest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The party’s over.\u00a0 The parade is done.\u00a0So this will have to be THE final word on Super Bowl 50 then we\u2019ve all gotta get back to our real lives.
