Chicago O’Hare

I believe Chicago O’Hare may be my personal worst airport ever. In addition to having already spent Christmas Eve stranded there, I now had the great opportunity of turning a 45-minute excursion into an hour-and-a-half wait-a-thon while the plan that was supposed to arrive at 10:13 didn’t come in until well after 11:30. Thanks O’Hare, you putz.

Clarification: I picked my parents up at the airport last night. I was supposed to pick them up at 10:15, but it ended up being about 11:45. Their departure was delayed for 30 minutes due to electrical problems at O’Hare, then they missed their scheduled take-off and they had to wait another thirty minutes in the take-off line. When they made it to Sea-Tac, they then had the chance to wait on the tarmac for a while until their gate became open from the on-time plane that was using it. Finally, thier luggage took about thirty minutes to make it to the carousel. And I blame this all on Chicago.

    Yowsers! That is particularly bad! Chicago O’Hare — the ‘El Niño’ of airports. as in “I was late because of O’hare.” “I lost my bagage becuase of O’Hare”, and now for the utterly stupid and lame joke: “I’m bald because of n’O’Hare.”

    Baby, can’t you see
    I’m calling
    A guy like you
    Should wear a warning
    It’s dangerous
    I’m fallin’

    There’s no escape
    I can’t wait
    I need a hit
    Baby, give me it
    You’re dangerous
    I’m lovin’ it

    Too high
    Can’t come down
    Losing my head
    Spinning ‘round and ‘round
    Do you feel me now

    With a taste of your lips
    I’m on a ride
    You’re toxic I’m slipping under
    With a taste of a poison paradise
    I’m addicted to you
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic
    And I love what you do
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic

    It’s getting late
    To give you up
    I took a sip
    From my devil’s cup
    Slowly
    It’s taking over me

    Too high
    Can’t come down
    It’s in the air
    And it’s all around
    Can you feel me now

    With a taste of your lips
    I’m on a ride
    You’re toxic I’m slipping under
    With a taste of a poison paradise
    I’m addicted to you
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic
    And I love what you do
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic

    heh heh heh~
