Welcome again to Stealing which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd and the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this off a blogger who got very upset that we posted her picture and gave her credit. So we have changed her picture and eliminated the link to her post. It is our first such request. We were not asked to not publish this meme. Now we will leave it alone. (Man, no good deed goes unpunished, no?) So let’s go!
Sunday Stealing: The Heaven Eleven Meme
1. If you could live in any other time period, which would you pick? Some time in the future. I’d love to see how this period of time is going to be remembered by history.
2. What is your favorite topic to write on your blog other than a meme? Since this is the official WTIT blog, I’d say WTIT folklore like this:
This is tale about turning lemons into lemonade. In high school and college, WDRC was one of our favorite radio stations. On this day during Christmas break, the DJ announced a party planned for that very evening. A “Stewardess Students Convention” was in town with 400 Stewardess Wannabes in attendance. Now, keep in mind that these were the days when airlines had ads on TV that showed a 21 year-old beauty queen who would smile and say, “Hi. I’m Cheryl. Fly me”. It was a very different era, indeed. We called all DJs and I think five of us headed to the old Statler Hilton in Hartford. Killer Joe, Ken Kolt, Johnnie Walker, Bouncing Billy and I attended these festivities. Naturally, we expected the ladies to look like the image on the left. We couldn’t wait to get there!
This was the cruelest joke on all concerned. Yes, there were 400 females. Yes, they needed many, many guys to even the odds at this dance. There was one really bad part. These ladies were all overweight and ugly. They had about as much chance of being a stewardess (remember the era) as flying to the moon by jumping really high. At one point Billy turned to me and said “Plan B.” I asked what that would be. Billy decided we should try to sneak past all the hotel security to find some of these student-stewardesses in their rooms. I pondered this, “That won’t make them pretty.” I pointed out. Billy said I was overlooking the obvious.
“I give up, what am I not seeing?” I asked. Billy went on, “First of all, we probably will get caught and thrown out of here long before we see another student-stewardess. It is a challenge. Can we do it? Secondly, if we are alone with them in their rooms, does it matter that they aren’t gorgeous? And most importantly, it has got to be better than walking around at this stupid dance.” All at once Bill had appealed to my sense of adventure, my lust and it did have to beat the shit out of staying at the “Ugly Fat Student-Stewardess Ball”. We were climbing the mountain, because it was there.
Bouncing Billy and I snuck past the first guard stationed at the elevators. The guard was really too easy. Billy asked him to show him how to get to the lobby. The guard said, “Follow me.” We didn’t. Now we were in the elevator. We picked a floor at random, since the hotel was filled with student-stewardesses. There was plenty of activity in the hallway, so the girls were easy to spot. In a moment’s notice Billy leans over to me and states, “We need an angle, ya know, to get invited into a room.” I told Bouncing Billy to follow my lead.
“Hi, Ladies.” I said to no one in particular. A student-stewardess told me if the guards caught us we would have to leave. (No shit, Sherlock.) I explained that my poor friend was deaf, so the dance wasn’t holding much for him. A group of four girls said they would love to get to know us, but we had to follow them into their room. From conception this plan worked and took ten minutes.
When the four student-stewardesses got into the room they began asking me questions to ask my deaf friend, Billy. I made believe to sign the words and Billy would sign me back. I use “sign” very loosely, since I only knew the alphabet and Billy knew none of it. Almost every “sign” would include us flipping the bird at each other. As it turned out, not only were student-stewardesses fat and ugly, but also they were as dumb as rocks.

3. What are some traits that you admire in a lover? Loyalty, morality and great ta-tas.
4. Could you adjust to life in another country? As long it wasn’t say, Afghanistan, I’d think it would be an excellent adventure.
5. If you could study anything, what would it be? Threesomes 203, advanced level.
6. What is your favorite possession that cost less than $15? Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I read the news today, oh boy…
7. Which color do you wear most often? I’m big on black.
8. What has been your “theme song”, or favorite song this summer? Fuck You by Cee Lo Green.
9. What’s the most romantic thing that’s ever been said to you? “That was fantastic! Okay if I leave your fee on the night table?”
10. What would be your dream birthday cake? A friend’s wife made me a Boston Cream Pie cake one year. I found it delicious. My wife at the time was not amused. It ended the friendship she had with the woman and ultimately mine with the husband. And for the record, I did not have sex with that woman.
11. What is the coolest thing you’ve ever done? Changing the nut jobs picture (of the person that we stole the meme from) in Stealing yesterday. I could not believe her comments. I think the stupidest one was “(For the record, I am a minor, so I do find it kind of creepy when people do things like [posting my picture without permission.]. Not saying you’re creepy, but as I said it has been an issue in the past so it hit a nerve.)” You’d think I posted it on a fucking porn blog.
WTIT: The Blog.
Enjoy your Sunday…
We will return.
Just a fair warning.
Peace, my friends.
Join us. Same time. Same blog.
I will see you in the future! And I'm really confused about the last question: why would you post a picture on a meme and then get cranky that people use it to link back? Srsly. {smh}Love the story too. Also Cee Lo is the weirdest, coolest guy to make the charts in awhile.
Wow. All because of a Boston Cream Pie?
Cat.-If you read her in comments, you knew she was nuts…
Harriet-True story.
Love your answer to #1! The popularity of the book and movie, The Help (as opposed to HELP!, which is a very different movie) gets me thinking along the same lines. When people 40 years from now look back on us, they'll shake their heads and say, "Gays not allowed to marry? A mosque not allowed near Times Square?" It's going to sound as primitive and silly as separate bathrooms for the races.
Gal-You are SO right on that!
ppfffttt…….hello looneyville…(not the BCP divorce thing either)At least you were an honest thief. Oh,and I'm a minor (have been for around 30+ years) so don't steal my pictures any more.
I didn't think about going into the future. That might be very cool.
Harriet-So true. 😉
Allison-It would be great!
Love the pic from 1972…was it REALLY almost 40 years ago? Sgt Pepper RULES.
Ok, so I'm down for number 5
Can't stop laughing at traits of a lover – morality! rofl. And with you on #11. No good deed goes unpunished indeed. Now where are that minor's comments….
Diva-You'd be perfect…
Hazel-She never came to read this. I wonder why?
Kath-40 years IS a long time…
