An air duct speaks back
From the comment thread on the Air vents are for air post:
I am an Air Conditioning Duct and I find this entire conversation incredibly ignorant and offensive.
On the rare occasions that I do see my Community represented on screen, it is invariably unrealistic and below industry standard. All the Air Conditioning Ducts of my acquaintance are spotlessly clean, weight-of-a-grown-man supporting structures. However we cannot deflect bullets.
Someday the true poetry of our lives and history will be told.
Despite the occasional a-hole, I have the best commenters ever.

yeah, you know Air vents are cliche when the Dinosaurs figured out they were in the air vents in Jurassic Park. To be fair though – these dinosaurs also figured out how to open doors and change sex.

Since this is in reference to a scene in Lost, I thought I might add this tidbit. Having never watched the show before, my wife and I rented the Season 1/Disc 1 DVD. Hooked.
Watching Season 2 now. Bummed that Season 3 won’t be out until the end of the year.
Anyways, they’re down in the station typing the “numbers” into the computer. I notice the “old” 9 track reel type tape drives in the background. One is running – spinning the reel back and forth – and I wonder, has it been doing that for the last twenty years? If so how in the name of all that is plastic and dated did that tape not fail? We’re happy if it doesn’t fail in a year of continuous usage.
The mystery deepens.

I should probably resist this sudden urge to write a sitcom starring a loveable and precocious talking air duct, right? Right?

I had a good laugh while reading your “Air vents are for air” blog posting. I hadn’t read it before. I took the vow. My characters will never even think about air vents. And I am quite certain that I will never watch another air vent escape without thinking of you.

Can you really not say asshole, John?
