FrontBurner Post Workshop

nathan-grant.jpgThere’s so much raw material here, I don’t know what to do. There’s the news account itself: A man claims Air Force One dropped him off on a runway at D/FW. (Yes, he had been drinking.) There’s the understated quote from the official describing plans to look into the incident “to see if it was just an odd circumstance or whatever.” But there’s also the photo of the man in question at left, looking like a) a BeeGee, b) Jesus, c) both? I’m sure you talented, commenting FrontBurnervians will rise to the challenge.

  1. Looks a little bit like Zac to me. But, I can’t really be sure since he demands that I never look him in the eye.

  7. Jeff Spicoli lives! I always wondered what happened to him. Too bad his surfing career didn’t pan out. I wonder if he was flying Air Force One on OUR time. Aloha, Mr. Hand.

  12. Ya’ll leave my Don Henley love child alone. Air Force One DID drop him off, as a personal favor to me.

  13. “looking like a) a BeeGee, b) Jesus, c) both?”

    would that be a BeJeezus?

  14. If you can grow a full-body beard, you’re doing the world a disservice if you don’t show it off.

  15. I have laughed – out loud – no fewer than four times while reading the comments on this post. Thank you, Mr. McGill. Thank you.

  17. Nathan Michael Grant is clearly displaying his family namesakes: the bewildering mentality of Nathan Johnson (from The Jerk), the masculine beard of Michael Martin Murphy (CW singer) and the bold body hair of Lou Grant (aka the hirsute Ed Asner).

  18. See, this is what happens when the Caveman licks the Geico Gecko. Next time, just say no.

  20. I haven’t seen anything that disturbing on the runway since John Travolta kissed that dude. Hard. On the mouth.

  23. No, this is what happens when you drink too much cactus juice.

  24. I’ve never seen so many callbacks in one post. Good work, people. [bowing, walking backward]

  25. So they didn’t really kill Jabari?

    In the odd chance that Air Force One didn’t actually drop him off, how the hell can a drunk guy get out there? Serious security issue there.

  26. I think this is the pervert from Grapevine Mike Snyder so lovingly described to us.
