While you were sleeping, a plane got struck by lighting after takeoff at Cleveland Hopkins Airport

Exhibit A why takeoff is the worst part of flying. It’s loud, you can’t have your electronics out, you’re probably fighting over the armrest in your seat with the old gross fat guy sitting next to you… there’s always that thought in the back of your head right before takeoff “Alright, we’ve been on the ground for awhile, how much runway is left? Why aren’t we in the air yet? Something is wrong. We’re all gonna die. I have to take a piss.”

And now you have to worry about getting struck by lighting. No thanks, dude. Flying sucks as it is. I don’t need to worry about getting electrocuted while I’m thousands of feet above the ground.**

I’ve seen Final Destination, I know how these things work and I want no part of that. This is my official resignation from airplanes and all things aviation.

** I know that you probably won’t get electrocuted while you’re midair, but just go with it. It fits the story.

 

This time-lapse video of Cleveland in October is an A++

I’m a sucker for these. If this video lasted 10 hours long I’d watch every second of it as intently as I watched this 1 minute 52 second clip. I always laugh when people call Cleveland a dump. Good, keep telling yourself that and I’ll keep enjoying that “dump” that’s so beautifully highlighted in this video.

The video was shot and uploaded by the Vimeo user “C-Towner,” go check out the video’s page here.

Charles Ramsey may get an Oscar for his performance in this commercial

This video was posted in August but is just now making the rounds. Has anyone seen it on TV? I haven’t and that’s a crime in and of itself. When you think of classic commercials your mind always goes to the Budweiser Clydesdales; the Mean Joe Green Coke ad; all the E*Trade baby ones; and the Cindy Crawford Pepsi commercial; etc etc. Well you better make room for one more because Charles Ramsey for Adams Bail Bonds wants a seat at the table. The performance Charles gives here is transcendent and breathtaking. The delivery of his lines, his scene presence, his blurred out Cavs outfit… all stuff worthy of big time national commercial recognition. It wouldn’t surprise me if later down the road we see Charles slowly drinking that Pepsi in a white beater and short jean shorts or shouting “Bud-Weis-Er” like those frogs. This commercial is just the start of an illustrious film career.

All joking aside it’s nice to see him making some money off of his name.
