T-claps to ‘Captain’ from Cleveland for posting with us today. His presence destroyed the stereotype of what I thought airline pilots did on their overnight layovers in far away places like New Orleans. Either Captain dusted off the glitter and rallied really well or he got a good night’s rest and was fresh for the Monday morning beatdown. With a new found appreciation for pilots I did, however, question the pax-naming ability of our friends in Cleveland. What could I have been: Doc, Doctor, Life-saver, McSteamy? Not so fast here in Nola. But it did have me thinking a bit of the 14 of us the sweated it out today with our less respectful names. I decided we need a re-do a la Cleveland style:
- Tinkles = Surgeon General
- Reluctant Yankee = Enthusiastic Northerner
- Angie’s List = Frank Lloyd Wright
- Bartman = The Hawk
- Jadaveon = All American
- Koopa = Fortnight
- I Love You Man = I Love You Man, Woman, or LGBTQ friend
- Saban = Billy Cannon
- Mulligan = Scratch
- Roots = The Rock
- Peppa = Co-Captain (being that captain is off the board)
- Sand Bar = Earthsaver
- Shrinkage = Sigmund
Maybe one day we will get a chance to post in Cleveland!
Oh and about the beatdown. I was a sub for Swamp Cock’s VQ who had to change his plans at the last minute. I enjoyed the lighter crowd and appreciated those who posted on this holiday week.

Some time to spare so we worked in some planks and marveled at a recently set record of 10 hours of planking. Frank Lloyd Wright noted he probably couldn’t stand for ten hours. Well played. Even The Hawk and Scratch found it humorous! Earthsaver used his long arm to capture a group selfie. Count off and nameorama. Enthusiastic Northerner provided some useful information to the group. Surgeon General closed us with prayer. Thanks for visiting Captain!
