It was scary, because I knew if didn't resist the urge to send the SNL clip, my marriage would end.

Thank God it worked out.

And that is hilarious!

Last text was 2 hours ago. “Boarded new plane. This is like deja vu.”

Second flight landed without incident... although the guy sitting next to her (on both flights) was kind enough to tell her he was watching her since they were initially in the terminal and she reminds him of an actress. My wife couldn't remember, but he asked for her number to text pictures of the actress.

Even my daughter realized how pathetic that was. I'll take a look at the pictures and see if she looks like the actress.

I was joking, she didn't give her number.

So, when do you start texting her pictures of actresses?

That was more of a second date thing. Strictly porn actresses in extremely perverse scenes.

NFL writer and and former ESPN reporter John Clayton.

RIP.

And that was one of the best in a series of great commercials.

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Sat Mar 19, 2022 11:24 am

Clayton had a weekly Saturday morning radio show here in Seattle. I used to think that he knew more about the NFL than anyone knew about anything else. Someone would call in with a question about the offensive line situation in Miami, and he would rattle off the entire depth chart, including contract situations. And he was really into funk music...all his bumpers were Earth, Wind, Fire or P-Funk or the like.

Hadn't heard anything about his health...he was being Covid careful because his wife was immunocompromised (I think she was a cancer survivor).

Pat Goss of Goss' Garage. He was a DC radio and TV regular. Also worked with Motorweek. Very knowledgeable but basically the opposite of Car Talk I liked when he accidentally ranted about non US cars

I was mistaken...Clayton's wife has MS.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, 50.

One of my favorite youthful memories was seeing him and Dave Grohl dueling drums at a concert in the late '90s. Have tickets to see them again this summer for my first post-pandemic concert. I gotta imagine this is going to get canceled or postponed.

Hit by a train while riding his bicycle. I wonder if that was a suicide.

Tragic either way though.
