watch what you say, even after smelling a fart

REVHQ FUN FACT
---------------
Did you know in April 2001 (obviously pre-9/11) when Life's Halt and No Reply were heading off in an airplane to play Chicago Fest, half of the
members from each band were kicked off the plane for suspicion of terrorist activity?
As the bands' connecting flight from Detroit to Chicago was about to take off, Noel (Life's Halt drummer) farted on Felix ife's Halt/No Reply bassist)
while loudly saying, "Whoa, ostile takeover" inspired by the movie The Family Man (2000) with icholas Cage which was being shown on the flight from
Los Angeles to Detroit.
As many of you know, this is not something to be joking about while on an airplane. Needless to say those were the words spoken. An off duty police
officer heard what Noel said and reported the comments to both the pilots and flight attendants. Moments later the plane was surrounded by police
cars. Felix, Noel, and John (No Reply guitarist) were kicked off of the airplane and banned from flying on any airline.
The other members remained on the flight and landed in Chicago not knowing what exactly went down in the airplane until the next day. RevHQ
screenprinter and HC celebrity Greg Bacon even got it all on video, but unfortunately the tape got confiscated in yet another police incident later on
that trip. Felix, Noel, and John arrived to the Fest in a rental car.
Both bands were able to play but afterwards the "terrorists" had to take the bus all the way back to Los Angeles. |

not nearly as funny or as sketchy
but we had to pick up my daughter from visiting her mom at the pittsburgh airport
since she was fly as a minor I was allowed thru to meet her at the gate...
we'll my wife and son had to stay on the other side of security and since the wait to get thru was like 45 minutes she just decided to go down to meet
my daughter luggage...which was at luggage claim "L"
so after I am thru and before she walked away I turn back and say rather loudy "I'll see you in L"
all of those fine pittsburghers did not take kindly to my talabainian (long beard and shaved head) looking ass covered in tattoos saying this.... but
nothing exciting really happened sut had to be searched again...
but I'm sure they were watching me close
espcially since I didn't have a ticket for any flight...
damn no sense of humor having yinzers

growing up, i spent summers with my dad. he lived in philly, i lived in chicago. he worked undercover for years, and always carried at least one
gun. "better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."
anyway, when he'd take me to the airport to fly home, we'd roll up to security, he'd ask for the supervisor, show his badge, lift one pant leg (gun
#1) and open his jacket (gun #2), and then they'd wave us right through. think that would work in this day and age?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

That's funny.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
