"I'm coming to this super-late, but I just need to say that Paul Zrimsek won the internetz fir at least a week or two. Wow."

Said Beaneater, in a comment I just moderated through.

The post, from 3 days ago, was called "Unhappiness with air travel took a new turn when maggots rained down on passengers on a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit...."

What had Paul Zrimsek said?

"Carrion items must be securely stowed."

Clicking through to the tag and reading backwards ... we used to be more light-hearted and witty here.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Althouse blog is the greatest in the Universe.

Paul Zrimsek wins the internet every time he posts. He is genius.

Always nice when the news sets you up with an opportunity to trot out one of the oldies-but-goodies.

Huh! I thought everyone around here was hip to Zrimsek's dry wit.

SO glad my airline career didn’t include paying passengers. (The horses, baby chicks, crickets and other non-humans don’t count).

I didn't see it at the time since I skipped the post itself, but that is a great comment.

When I grow up, I want to be Paul Zrimsek.

Heh.

Big Mike said...

Ugh! What a disgusting pun. Wish I’d thought of it.

Genius.

mezzrow, you should probably aspire to better things than being a person who wants to grow up to be Iowahawk. But if you're dead-set on being me, growing up is the last thing you should do.

Well done sir.

All the best blog commenters come to Althouse’s Place.

Well done Sir.

She blogged; I read; She conquered (my heart)

Also perfect. The man is on his game…

Wow! I got a post! And a tag!

I could have done without the gratuitous typo in my post, though. Oh, well. You win some, you lose some.
