Grisso posted "No Frills" this past summer; I somehow failed to notice how much it reminded me of this exchange concerning Leo Sayer's "Endless Flight":

"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane

Passenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.

I feel like there might also be a bell-shaped tourist in an xxxl Hawaiian shirt, his gut spilling over the armrest onto Leo

...with an implausibly large sandwich, also spilling its guts.

After 7 years I've only just realized if you put titles with your posts you can search for the title, duh.

It does help if the title is something like Tromboneliness though!
