TVgasm Encounters Danny and Melinda on Airplane!

Real World

If you’ve noticed that it’s been a little quieter on the site the past few days, one of the reasons is because J-Unit and I traveled to Hanover, NH this weekend for a little five year reunion fun at Dartmouth. Good times were had by all, but by far the most exciting part of the trip was discovering that we were sitting in the exact same seats on our L.A. to Boston flight as none other than MTV’s most dreadful couple, Danny and Melinda. How did we know? The pictures after the jump.Well, as is customary on most long flights, I happened to reach into my seat back pocket and peruse the American Airlines in-flight magazine. I immediately skipped to the back for the fun and games section (I know, I know. I probably missed out on a fantastic article about Yasmine Bleeth’s favorite steakhouse in Albuquerque), and I was quite pleased to find out that in addition to the magazine’s usual stable of MENSA quizzes and crossword puzzles, there were also three Sudoku puzzles. Unfortunately, someone had already attempted the easiest one, termed “Gentle.”

Now, here’s the thing. Not to be a snob or anything, but if you can’t finish the easy Sudoku puzzle, well, that’s just unfortunate. Turns out that whoever had attempted the “gentle” puzzle not only couldn’t finish, they clearly seemed unable to grasp the entire concept of Sudoku. I mean, look at this:

There are like sevens all over the place — even in the same row as pre-printed sevens! Meanwhile, easy fill-ins are completely mising! The eight in the lower lefthand section — it’s a freebie! How could you not get that? Same goes for the eight in the middle section. I could go on and on, but I’d rather not write out each and every Sudoku complaint I have. Needless to say, I went in and did the puzzle, scrawling over all these incorrect entries (and believe me, many of these numbers were wrong. It was such a Sudoku abomination, that J-Unit and I decided there could only be two people idiotic enough on a Los Angeles to Boston flight to bungle this puzzle so badly: Danny and Melinda. It just had to be!

The way we saw it, Melinda probably attempted the puzzle first, and since she has shown some sparks of brainpower in the past (she did figure out that riddle on Fresh Meat last week), she was probably en route to solving the thing. But nosy Danny most certainly butted in and made her fill in numbers in the wrong boxes, and knowing Melinda, she was loathe to challenge her man. At a certain point, Danny probably just sighed and said, “This is wicked retahded. Stop doing this.” And thus the puzzle was aborted (even though Melinda probably wanted to finish it). Danny probably then blamed the airline for providing puzzles that were too difficult, and then he probably blamed MTV for booking him on American in the first place.

So as you can see, conclusive proof that we sat in Danny and Melinda’s seats.

    I believe you – the evidence is conclusive! You guys are wicked, Danny’s retahded and Melinda? Well, she’s just a pathetic girl with no taste in men. Thanks for the laugh!

    Very good work. And they would have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling kids.

    Nice detective work, B-side. Irrefutable evidence that you found there.

    By any chance did you also see any evidence of a fight between Danny and any other random male that he accused of looking at Melinda?

    Oh B-Side, you joker. Albuquerque doesn’t have any good steakhouses. Just green chili stands. (I live there.)

    I wonder if Danny and Melinda had a fight over Melinda’s “begs” being too small for Danny’s wicked awesome hats.

    She probably solved the puzzle to sluttily for Danny’s taste thereby forcing him to make her stop. Either that or he kept putting his short brimmed cap in the way making it difficult for her to see.

    the most exciting part of the trip was that?! The class of 2001 is summarily offended. Regardless… irregardles… on my flight yesterday there were two young folks trying to meet cute by dicussing the awesomness of Sudoku. This is apparenty going to be the new speed dating.

    I think the most exciting part of the trip was the election of our new Class President. No, wait, the most exciting part was when I streaked. Clearly.

    Danny was probably too busy looking in the mirror to worry about solving some silly puzzle!

    I thought you were going to say that you found fifty stupid little hats in the seatback pocket.

    There’s actually a better explanation for their doing so badly on the puzzle. Melinda was likely on her way to completing the puzzle when the sun glinted off Danny’s wicked white redonkulous chompahs and blinded her.

    Alternately, they didn’t have time to finish the puzzle because they were thrown off the flight by sky marshals after Danny started a fight with American Way magazine because Antonio Banderas was looking at Melinda funny from the cover.

    When are we going to get the newest RW recap??? There are 5 Big Brother updates in one day, but it takes a week to get a RW recap. Weird…

    While I agree that danny and melinda are completely sickening, I’m shocked at the low brow commentary from a fellow grad. Good times were had by all is another Dartmouth dorkism. Sudoku is a joke. So proud of you. Well spent $120k.
