Interesting flight home yesterday

[PauliePeppas]

Boarding the plane from Vegas to Jfk yesterday, Coach Hop sat right next to me. Wanted to say something but I barely could put together a sentence after this weekend. (15 person bachelor party) I dont think anybody talked on that flight to be honest lol, Vegas will do that to ya I guess. Then I passed by Boeheim while walking to get my luggage and wished em good luck this year. Nice to see the coaches out n about, lotta talent out in Vegas this weekend.

Thanks for the invite

Not gonna lie, I just saw the thread title from the main page and without looking, automatically thought it would be a CTO post.

Same here. Expected a row of CTO, Bobby Cannavale, and Christy Walton, with Conrad Black on the other side of the aisle.

You couldn't find anything to say to Hop. Not ANYTHING?

Okay, I'm not one to talk. A couple weeks ago I was out walking and passed by Andy Rautins' house. I saw two young men sitting on his front porch and guessed that one of them was probably Andy. As I got closer, I saw that the other one was Eric Devendorf. So, I had a few seconds to think of a greeting, to say something friendly or cleverish.

What did I do? (squirm) I stopped dead in my tracks, put my hands on my hips, and said, "Well, hello, boys!" They both waved at me, clearly wondering, "Who the hell is that nutcase?" I continued to walk up the hill, cursing my inept brain, and wondering WHY I couldn't have come up with something better and more original, like "Go SU!"

I am 65. It was humiliating.

Hello boys. Well done.

If you had just opened the conversation with hop he would have reciprocated and talked for a while, he's that kind of guy.

Why is "Well hello, boys!" not your signature??

Maybe it should be! You mean, take something degrading and then wear it proudly on this forum, right?

Its not degrading IMO. I found it funny and likable. I'm glad you shared.

Considering his age (not saying he is old), I picture it being a grandfatherly "Well, hello boys." Any younger than 50 and I picture a "Weeellllll, heeellllloooo boooyzzzz."

oh duh, I did know that. Then it is ok either way. Although, it could have been considered a touch suggestive if said in a Mae West kind of way.

I fear it was the hands on the hips, like Wonder Woman or Superman, that gave it real panache.

<SIGH>

Amazing she got away with this stuff in the 1930s.

As long as you didn't sound like this, I'm sure you were fine.

For sure. CTO introduced me to him in February. He could have said "Nice to meet you" and went about his day. Instead he talked to me about Alaska for 20 minutes.
