Terry Maxon of The Dallas Morning News and its aviation blog, Airline Biz, has kiddingly accused us of that sin, and I guess we are gonna have to plead "guilty" because we can't resist doing a one-week anniversary post on Southwest Airlines' winning the PR News blog award.  If you would like to read more about the event, click here, and below is a photo of the lovely Paula Berg and the newly bearded Blog Boy with the award, which really belongs to all of you. pr-news-award.JPG

So, Blog Boy-where did you get your PhD? Did you go to UCC-University of Candy Corn? Ha, ha. I couldn't resist! 🙂 Anyways, congratulations again! Question to think about: Why is a carved pumkin called a jack o'lantern? I know that you can see the candle (or even flashlight) in it. I should do some research on this! 🙂

Hey, I never accused you of shameless self-promotion. I just said you were bribing people to read your blog with a free trip for two to Las Vegas. I wish I could offer my blog visitors a free trip to Las Vegas.

Terry, maybe you could offer them a free subscription to Belo's best paper? Honestly, we don't consider the Blog World contest a bribe; it's a reward. Brian

Ding Boy Are you flying from SEA? That looks like a flight plan from the Northwest. Since the arrival fix is MAIER, I am thinking that's in the Midwest (Maier stores?) BB

Meijer stores. Close! No, it was a delivery flight to Phx. Someone got a brand new 737-700. I hear it was in a canyon blue paint scheme. I wonder who it could be? Look up flight # 8701 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA8701 Press 1 for yes 2 for no. Ding! boy Joe!

Santa? Mr. Claus? Is that you? Oh my gosh - it is you! What are you doing down here? There's only two months until your Big Day - you can't leave the North Pole now! Kids around the world are depending on you and you are out pretending to be Blog Boy? My grandkids are depending on you. Ding Boy's kids are depending on you. Kim Seale is depending on you. Please - return home as soon as possible and get back to work on those toys. Sincerely, West Texas Blog Boy PS - cute elf.

Ding Boy Yeah Meijer, now I remember. That is different that Fred Meyers in the Pacific Northwest, but the stores are very similar. Jim Be careful, little boys who make fun of Santa get a piece of coal in their stocking.

Oh, well that's even better, Dr. "Candy Corn" Blog Boy! 🙂 So, have people been asking for your & Paula's autographs now? "We schedule the people that make up your Crew!" "For ontime departures, we do it for you!" "What's that, someone sick? Well that's alright. We hope they feel better, we can cover that flight!" "If there's a no show, no need to worry! Reserves have beepers, we can call them in a hurry!" SWA is So Wonderfully Awesome! :) I have Southwest spirit, yes I do! I have Southwest spirit, how about you? Yea! *Jumps up & down & waves pom poms.*
