Great Random Encounter with iluv2fly
Had a great random encounter today with iluv2fly on my weekly commute from ORD-SFO.
I heard iluv2fly correct the FA as she told a pax that that 767 IPTE was the only UA aircraft where you can not store things at your seat in C or F. iluv2fly quickly told Cheri the FA that the 767 was not alone ... along with all of the 747's and 4 newly configured 777's. The FA looked at iluv2fly in shock and asked "how do you know this??" ... i quickly responded "he must read Flyertalk" ... and from there it was history.
iluv2fly : great meeting you and hope our paths cross again soon. You've inspired me to re-connect with Flyertalk and become more active. Hope to see you at a Chicago Do soon.

Yeah, he gets around. He was stalking me in the lounge at CDG last year! But then, doesn't everybody? 
I just happened to be discreetly displaying the subtle and understated FT luggage tag on my carry-on bag at the time. It was very nice to run into him.

I "stalked" you at MKE earlier this year. Be afraid; be very afraid.

[QUOTE=iluv2fly;14588645]Would the second thing be those big wienies you can find in the club?
To echo T_H_S's quote: now THAT's funny
p.s. I only consider my wienies with neon green relish- there are some things one cannot compromise. You can tell where i'm from, can't you?

I can't remember a worse time.
But you know that we've changed so much since then,
oh yeah,
we've grown.
Now I don't care what you're doing,
no I don't care if you screw him.
Just as long as you save a piece for me,
oh yeah!

NO, but I bet he took ALL the milk
I had my very first meeting with iluv in a random way too. Myself and Mini DG were guests of honour at a dinner in SFO that my dear friend, goalie set up a few years ago now. Lo and behold we had a surprise guest who FLEW IN just for the dinner .
Since then we have met in SYD & LAS in a less random way.
I am yet to say I have been "stalked" by iluv. There's always a first time I guess
