Perhaps this is the beginning of a strategy by AA to reduce the overall capacity of ramekins systemwide.

Surely you've heard of the St. Louis Ramekins?
Cheers.
Seriously, someone logged in as me and posted that

Rumor has it that there are bunches of ramekins being parked near Mojave and Victorville, CA. The electronics and wiring are being stripped out, and the ramekins are staying for the time being.
Could this be the foretelling of the return of, wait,
...of the Los Angeles Ramekins?
sorry brp -- this must have been the same person who hacked your account...

Since we started using the new china mugs, plates, ramekins, I've seen an increase in broken items. Everytime I see something that has a chink out of it, I throw it out. Nothing is more tacky than giving someone broken china. It's a haven for bacteria. The old stuff lasted years and this new stuff isn't wearing too well.
BTW, regular nut mix tonight.

Oh the joys of a layover. I get to read how many more double-entendre and innuendos we can get from the subject of Nuts. We at BA Forum discuss how to spread scones and which Champgne BA should be serving - but your nuts are far far more entertaining. As I have said before, when anyone says that AA Forum has no sense of humour I tell them that I beg to differ.
Now I am here for two reasons. The first is to tell you something very much against myself. When I read the post about the bag of Costco nuts I wondered what a Costco nut was (bear with me I live the other side of the pond (No! Not the other side of the tracks or the hill!)) and wondered whether they came from a Costco Tree and then realising that this was a Marge Simpson moment remembered what Costco was (aren't their bags rather big:?) and had a real DOH at myself. So I share that with you.
Then when my eyes read of Nut Bags - I was minded of someone who decided (some fool in the crew let on that I was a nurse) decided on a flight to ask me whether he had a rash on his. Indeed he decided to let me examine the same. Wheras there were crew members whose predilictions would have led them to believe that they had died and gone to heaven before such a request - I nearly choked on the spot.
I would continue but this is a respectable Forum and if you want to know what happened next you will have to visit us and I'll do a TFTG when I get home as one is rather overdue.
The ramekins have all been stolen or smashed or grown legs. Trust me. Someone in F had quite a lot of china that clearly came from AA. I rather wondered if they had plundered an entire dinner service. Whilst punning one last time I really do not know why it is that flying attracts all these lunatics (nutcases?) - we don't have people thieving the china on trains do we?

I just wanted to say that this thread has degenerated in a most wonderful way.
My special thanks to Pucci Galore.
