Blog Air Is Better Than Virgin On The Ridiculous Airlines.

A huge amount of folks were wondering about "Blog Air".  Zillions upon zillions asked me what's with this Blog Air?  So, because I'm either lazy, too busy searching for a clone or have run out of ideas, here's a past post that gives you an idea about Blog Air, the blogger's favourite airline.  If you've read this before, either ignore it, skim through it or learn the fine art of advanced thumb-twiddling.  

Ah yes, Blog Air, in its latest attempt to diversify, to try new markets in the blogging sky, Blog Air has come up with the charter flight.  All seats are in the same class.  No distinction, just a no-frills experience where all bloggers are treated the same.
  
And so, what happened next on the inaugural flight of Blog Air charter?  Thought you'd never ask.  Due to some misunderstanding, some bloggers were caught unaware and had no idea that it was a charter flight.  Chaos and confusion ensued.
   
A self-obsessed, self-promoting blogger ended up sitting beside a shy, humble and oh so unassuming blogger. The self-obsessed, self-promoting blogger went on and on and on...about how great they were and how important it was to check out the links on their blog that linked back to all their other fabulous, must read postings. The shy, humble and oh so unassuming blogger, fell asleep. This was an outrage!  How dare anybody not pay attention to them!

An alleged comedy blogger ended up sitting beside a sarcastic blogger. The alleged comedy blogger proceeded to bore the hell out of the sarcastic blogger with their so-called comedy.  "Hey friend!  My comedy has been compared to that comedy 'genius', Russell Brand!"  "Oh?'" replied the sarcastic blogger, "I'm thrilled for you to be compared to Russell Brand, a comedy genius who looks like a reject from a "Pirates of the Caribbean" audition.   Well done, you!"

And horror of horrors. A crude dude blogger who insisted that almost every other word was some sort of Anglo-Saxon derivative, was sitting beside one of those most exciting of bloggers. Yes, the crude dude blogger was sitting beside a lady blogger who wrote such incredibly riveting stuff about how she, the hubby and the kids went to McDonald's and had an extra portion of fries!  She starting telling the crude dude blogger about the thrilling, adventurous life she led.  She even mentioned that her next posting was about how she put some extra chocolate chips in the cookies!  The crude dude blogger said, "That's f**king awesome!  F**king fantasy stuff!  I bet you and that hubby of yours had some right f**king orgies in your kitchen!"  To which she replied, "No, not really, but he just loves to add to some extra cream to my coffee."
  
And then there was the 'extremely popular' blogger with well over a zillion followers, sitting beside a blogger with very few followers. Now then, the blogger with over a zillion followers had only a couple of comments on their latest posting. This same blogger's icon could be seen all over the blogging world and they would leave amazingly sincere comments stating, "Great post!  Thanks for sharing.  I follow your blog!" The blogger with very few followers had several comments on their site. This might just tell you something.
  
Anyway, the blogger with over a zillion followers discovered that the blogger beside them had only a few followers. The zillion followers blogger yelled over at the flight attendant.  "Excuse me, this must be a mistake! Get me a seat next to somebody who is popular like me!"  "Sorry sir", stated the flight attendant, "This is a charter flight and all are seated equally. However, the exit door can be found just over there. Although you'll find that the first step is a 37,000 foot drop into the shark-infested sea below. 

Aha!  Look who's the pawlet, sorry, who's the pilot of Blog Air charter flight. Yes indeed, it's Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest airline pilot!

"Hello bloggers, this is your captain speaking. Captain Penny the pawlet . Welcome to this charter flight on the blogger's favourite airline, Blog Air. We're cruising at an altitude of 37,000 feet and expect to arrive at 'Blogland' international airport at approximately six P.M., local time
.  
Please enjoy your flight and remember to rejoice in the diversity of blogging. All different, all equal in a sharing, caring community. Thank you for flying Blog Air"

  8. Hey Stuart, or is that Steward?

    What's funniest is the biting humor (by Penny I take it:) and the irony of it all ... if there was a Blog Air.... ALLLLLLLLLL those things would happen....

    Except for me... I would find myself in the back.... covered by a cloud of gas while the blogger next to me explained how his medical condition meant he couldn't fart...

    Happy, smell-free weekend, old chum :)

    1. Hey stewardess, Mazza,

      There is a Blog Air. Penny the pawlet does make some important points. All the things mentioned and more, happen on Blog Air.

      You would be in the cargo hold with the cat bloggers. You never had it so good. If you were in the back, his medical condition would suddenly change and you might assume it's just a bit of turbulence.

      Your comment made scents. A happy aromatic weekend to you.

      Thank you for flying Blog Air.

  14. I'm sitting here laughing my a** off because I've seen live examples, lol! My luck I'd be seated beside someone extolling the beauty of quantum physics and the building blocks of mathematical equations in creation. I'd be heading to the bathroom to check the mirror for developing wings or a hidden parachute.

    Love the header shot of Penny.

  15. Can I sit in the back next to the head? Please. You guessed it. I'm not a good and reliable passenger. Been known to... well, you know, barf! I'm so relieved Penny's still flying this thing. This is my 2nd flight. I'm doing better, huh? Huh???

    1. Hi Joylene,

      Because of your situation, we will accommodate so you have a seat near the front lavatory. You were a very well behaved passenger the last time. Although the cleaning crew were not impressed. You are doing better. The next flight after this will include even better movies and more solid barf bags.

      Thank you for flying Blog Air, again :)

  23. I feel this plane may be a bit left wing, in fact I am worried the right wing may have been removed entirely and the space in the middle, you know what's it called . . . . . . Ah yes the corridor is full of folk running up and down.

    Do they have Customs at Blogland airport....

    As I always said to my dad back in the old days . . . . .Are we there yet dad......

    1. Hi Rob,

      The fuselage is doing just fine. The left wing and the right wing are having a debate about who is right and who is left. *Order!* *Order!*

      They have Customs and Blogland airport. One Custom is to remove any links before going through the scanner.

      We heard you. Are we there yet? Good grief, Blog Air is still on the runway! :)

  33. Read it before. Loved it ... so I read it again!

    You'll find me in the cargo-hold swigging on a bottle of vino with Marvin the kiwi and the iguana, whose name I have sadly forgotten.

    And Captain Penny, do not forget - it's best to keep the pointy end going forward as straight as possible.

    I shall leave you with this quote: 'There are only two things required to fly a modern airliner: a pilot and a dog. It's the pilot's job to feed the dog. It's the dog's job to bite the pilot if he touches anything in the cockpit.'

    Good luck, and bon voyage!

  42. Don't know how I missed this, except that I haven't been paying much attention this month outside my own sphere. I'm finding the experience interesting and am now tempted to stay away from the blogosphere while I get other things in my life right. Is that even possible? Putting things right - getting it all straight? Can blogair take me to the place where it all makes sense and the right things get done - where there is no want - where folks are as they say they are and do as they say they will. Where even the slightest need is met and with graciousness and love. Where negativity does not exist and promises are kept? Book me on that fight, please!

      You are most kind to backtrack to this posting. Personally, I believe that priorities must be the main focal point. Your sphere is what you feel the need to do right now. I know of the dilemma that can be finding a happy balance. Blog Air can take you wherever you need to be. Your flight will prepare you for the destination you want On Blog Air, we believe that immersing ourselves with people, with animals, with resources that are conducive to our well being, both physical and mental.
