Who In The Hell...Sends Out The E-mail Offers For Airtran?

Hi everyone, I'm Micah. I was supposed to be contributing to this blog all along, but, well, I'm pretty difficult to motivate. You might say to Michael, the blog's creator, "Who in the hell thought Micah would contribute on a consistent enough basis to include him on this project?"

Well, I may not post every week (or even every year, we'll see how it goes), but when I saw this today, I knew it was time to go to work.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I call your attention to a "Net Escapes" email I received from AirTran Airways this evening. While I can't reprint for you the actual email itself, I can point you in the direction of the page they built for it on the AirTran website. Here's a screen capture of the promotion:

I noticed, in perusing this email, that one of the "8 Crazy Adventures" recommended by AirTran is a trip to Houston for the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, as seen here:

Hot Sauce Festival? In Houston? Count me in!

Enthused by the prospect of attending such an event (not really), and wanting to show my friend Goetz (who is from Houston) what a good time he was most likely in for by participating in said festival, I clicked through the link so I could give him some of the highlights.

To my (immense) amusement, here is the page to which I was brought:


Oops! No amateur salsa dancing competitions for Goetz!

Just to clarify, AirTran scoured the nation for the 8 choicest festivals to highlight to the millions of travelers who fly their airline - for a one-day sale no less - and 12.5% of those festivals is no more.

I guess my question is this - who the hell is sending out the email offers for AirTran?

Whoever it is, they might want to pay a little closer attention to detail next time...

Who In The Hell . . .Thought This Would Make A Huge Hit?

I have a pretty low standard for movies that I will see - let's remember that I saw, "Let's Go To Prison," "PCU," and "Cool as Ice" in the theater- so, I was blown away by the thought that Speed Racer was going to be a high end summer tent-pole movie.

Looks like I wasn't the only one, as it is getting beat badly during it's opening weekend, and it's only going to go downhill from here, as Indiana Jones is coming up quickly.

Who In The Hell . . . Is Not Creeped Out By This?

Wow, these have to be the creepiest pictures on Earth, and if you don't think so, you might have a problem.

Who In The Hell . . .Wants This Guy On Their Team

Remember Ron Artest from his Bat Shit Crazy days in Indy? Well, it seems he's still BSC and keeping them entertained in Cali.

Who in the Hell . . . UPDATE: Barney Stinson buys stuff from SkyMall magazine

To answer the question from my previous post, it is now clear that Barney Stinson of HIMYM buys stuff from SkyMall magazine. More importantly, I want to know how to get my hands on one of his awesome motivational posters. Apparently when he is stressed or feeling guilty buying these crazy gadgets helps him cope. The hot dog maker did look pretty awesome. Barney might just be on to something here! Here is the full epsiode from last week.

Who In The Hell . . . Was Hoping He'd Make It Through This?

Just saw that this guy, David "the douche" Blaine broke the world record for holding one's breath. Hopefully this stunt helped him get some friends, finally.

For those of you who love South Park - Here's the full David Blaine Episode

Who in the Hell . . . OK'd this wardrobe choice

Now, I have never actually ready the official USGA rules, but I imagine that we'll see this picture in the 2009 rules as an example of what not to wear. Although this might be what golf needs if they are trying to appeal to the whole NASCAR demographic that they are missing out on. Coming soon to a PGA tour event near you: John Daly sponsored by Marlboro, Milwaukee's Best Light (he's trying to get back in shape), and Levi's 501 jeans.

Who In The Hell . . .Would Visit This Place?

I like to visit famous houses just as much as the next guy . . . Graceland, The White House, President Taft's old stomping grounds with his HUUUUGGE bathtub. Well, it appears that for some reason people are wanting to visit Edith Wharton's house.

All I can think of when I hear the name Edith Wharton is reading some boring book. I assume her house is the same - probably no flat screens, no jungle room, no oval office, and no ginormous bathtub.

Who In The Hell . . . Thinks Member's Only are Cool

So, we all remember those great Member Only jackets from the 80's and making fun of them in the 90's, don't we? Well, it seems that they are on their way back to being in style.

Who In The Hell . . . Would Divorce Her for Her?

It appears the Mr. Putin is changing horses . . .


What man in his right mind would divorce
her . . .





















For Her?

Who In The Hell . . . Can Control Their Balls Better Than This Dude

Who In The Hell . . . . Would Eat That Many Oysters?

Wow. If a picture is worth a thousand words- this one is worth about 14,001 words.

This looks horrible. Patrick Bertoletti knocked back 35 dozen oysters on his way to the championship.

That's a lot of oysters.

Who In The Hell . . . Would Drive Behind This Guy?

So, I have to admit, today is the first day in my life that I've actually clicked on the "Nascar" tab on ESPN.com . I know, I know, NASCAR is the greatest thing on earth - I mean with all the speed and speed, oh and heroin on the track. I clicked on the tab because I wanted to confirm that heroin had spread from the great game of baseball (Josh Hamilton) to the oval/circle/square or whatever shape NASCAR tracks are.

This guy Fike admitted today to taking a little h-train on race day- you know it calms your nerves, makes you a better driver, etc. etc. Wow, what has our world come to, when guys who drive cars in one direction have to take drugs to better their performance (or at least help them forget that they only have 299 more miles to go in the same direction without being able to stop at a Cracker Barrel).

Who in the Hell . . . Buys stuff from SkyMall magazine

A few weeks ago I was flying to Costa Rica and made the mistake of forgetting to bring a book. I'm not reading anything in particular, but a book or magazine is usually my go-to for getting out of talking to strangers. So after taking an earful from some woman on how dangerous Costa Rica is, i grabbed the SkyMall magazine out of the seat back pocket. Really? This aesthetically pleasing, yet extremely functional Basho the Sumo Wrestler Table can be mine for the low, low price of $225.

I can picture it now: some dude wakes up in a cold sweat on a plane wondering how long he is going to have to tote around separate gadgets to listen to music, write, transfer data, and record audio. Worry no more my friend. SkyMall has got you covered with this ridiculous pen.

Of all of the items I saw, the NeckPro Traction Device has to be the most odd. I think you are sending the wrong message here guys. This guys is clearly not satisfied with his life and is contemplating ending it all by hanging himself.

As worthless as all of this crap is, I still think it would be humorous if Hilary and Micah registered for wedding gifts on SkyMall.

Who In The Hell . . . Would Wear That to the Championship game?

So, I watched the NCAA Championship Game last night (Mens for those following at home) and couldn't believe what I saw - Roy Williams wearing a humongous, shiny Kansas Jayhawks sticker on his shirt.

I understand that Roy Williams was a big part of Kansas basketball, but if he was my team's coach, lost to THAT VERY KANSAS TEAM less than 48 hours ago, and then shows his support for the "enemy" on national tv, I would be very po'd.

That would be like Al Gore hanging out at Bush's inauguration.

Really, Who in the Hell doesn't have enough common sense to not stick a huge bullseye on his back by rooting for the team that all your faithful likely are hating a little more this past week.

Who In The Hell . . . Thinks that Writing a Blog is a Good Idea

Nickleback. That's what brought me to this point. While I've heard the stories of Chad Kroeger being named the ugliest person in music, that's not what amazes me about Nickleback, it's the fact that somehow millions of people have purchased their cd's.

So, it got me wondering . . .WHO IN THE HELL BUYS NICKLEBACK ALBUMS.

I mean, I like music and enjoy obscure indy rock bands and mainstream music, but I can't fathom that in this day where people buy singles and listen to internet radio, that millions of people have shelled out money to listen to freaking Nickleback.

Who in the hell are these people? I've never met one. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me where these Nickleback fans are and why they can't find a better use of their $11.99.

So, upon the realization that I don't know Who in the hell purchases these albums I began to think about other things that boggle my mind . . . I mean who in the hell decides that writing a blog is a good idea.

More to come.
