This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, and 2020 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Thanks Yhztraveller . I look forward to trying the 'real' thing. Not the version I had at Salty's was a bad thing.

With thanks to @Bohemian1 for the idea ....
I have a slate card
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the concierge
Waiting for VIPs
They have a black folder
With guidance how to please
I see a line of planes
And they're all painted black
All looking like racoons
Just waiting to attack
I've seen thirty-five Ks
Glance and look away
Confused first time flyers
It happens everyday
I look inside myself
And see my heart is black
I see my slate card
I must have it painted black
I hate when my upgrades
Expire every year
It's not fun losing them
And sitting in the rear
No more will a green plane
Be waiting at the gate
I think of toothpaste and
I hope I am not late
If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun
I'll see the white contrails
Before the morning comes
I have a slate card
And I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the concierge
Why can't they wait for me?
They have a black folder
With guidance how to please
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna have a pod
Entirely to my own
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
I have a slate card
