What a terrible idea......we have too many forums now.....there are so many self important board policemen that want things in their own forum...all of you hooded, old-time, clique, unfeeling, unhelpful, stupid, slimy, smelly bad beople are really bad while us good people are really, really good and not in the least bit obnoxious, self important, boorish or bad in any way.

Please restrict yoyr really, really bad ideas to your private clique meetings that of course I am not invited to (even though lots of new people always show up and join in)...you're all a bunch of closed-minded, unfriendly, pompous ond-timer.

What was this thread's topic, I forgot? Well it doesn't even matter.....

...and another thing...


Let me add these pearls of wisdom in another post to up the count....

...and while I'm not counting, and I think tracking these sorts of things is really, really bad old-timer hooded behavior.....

This is my 1200th post.

Just a bit too early for that here, Dorian! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Great Idea..............Again!

Marc, keep those creative juices flowing. I will post on Shanghai, Singapore, Berkeley, NYC, San Francisco, and of course Tokyo.

Kidsteelball,

I will assist in the welcoming to Tokyo's eateries of any and all FTers that find themselves in our neck of the woods. How's about we do some trial runs on our own when you are this side of the pond. I live in Daimon and can get to wherever is right for a meet. Ever been to Maru's Bar/Bistro. The owner must be Tokyo's most savvy sommelier. My local an d the first bottle is on me.

Mike

Apologies....I swear, at 5am that seemed hillarious.

Only sarcasm...no offense meant.

Maybe I need to clarify what I suggested.

I don't think I said we need a new FORUM on this. In fact i Think we do have enough forums.

Here's what i Thought I suggested over beer: A book modeled after the Zagat guides divided into cities where the Flyeratlkers Contribue ideas.

There would be suggestions on restaurants, sites and Microbrews.

We all would have the chance to contribute with short reviews. Then if the book sells well we all could share in whatever profits come from the book (that last point a WILD suggestion.)

But I think a book would be great. Inside Flyer could sell it like the Frequent Flyer guide (I believe the 7th edition's for sale now.)

That's what I was suggesting: we all contribute to a BOOK of F-T tips.

And again, I would probably leave any posts about restaurants/sites/microbrews to either:

Trip Reports
General TravelTalk
OMNI.

OK? Thanks Shareholder for the thread.

Catman...

I was also in a later discussion around an actual FORUM dedicated to these topics as they get too lost in the other GENERAL forums...

......tick.....tick.....

A book!

YES!! A book!

I luv it. Published in real paper, on the airport bookshelves for all to see. Seriously, folks, I love this idea.

Not a guide to all the famous, rich, restaurants, but a guide to all our LOCAL favorites. We could all write up reviews and directions. I absolutely love it, and would be honored to be able to contribute, if for no other reason than to (1) see my name in print again and (2) to give others a real chance to find those lovely holes-in-the-wall that no one other than locals know about. (except for Gator's. I will NEVER print the directions to Gator's!!!!!!!!!!!)

Can we make this happen?

Again, a wonderufl notion. Publish it!

A book is certainly step #2. First all the suggestions and tips need to get listed somewhere and lightly discussed. This is really what requires a new forum or in worst case board.

I second that emotion.

We can get an idea of how it is evolving, have a central place to have it gel, and benefit from the contents along the way.

Dorian, over to you....
