What if koko and chexfan are headed to MSY and decide to meet at the RCC. They call geo1004 (a local) to come meet them for a beer. OK. Then they find out that Punki and Hunki will be at the same IAD RCC on a connection from SEA on their way to DUS for business. Suddenly, there's a phone call to Beckles in CLT. He's able to get a last minute award ticket to meet chexfan and koko in MSY. Punki and Hunki say a quick hello to Beckles as they depart to catch their flight to DUS. THEN, koko convinces geo1004 that even though his car is parked in the hourly lot it would be prudent to get on the same MSY flight and go for the evening. Then Punki and Hunki come back to the RCC because their flight was delayed. Punki knocks over her wine glass with the laptop cord connecting us to FT Chat and chexfan is practicing dance moves for his upcoming role in West Side Story.

What the heck do you call this kind of FT event???? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

LOL! Right on, Dish! And you were hard to miss that weekend, if I do say so myself! Not to mention the Village Idiot an his antics! First Geo skips out of parties himself, now he's trying to skip OTHERS out....

BTW, here is a typical conversation with colleagues at work:

"What are you doing this weekend, you Freak, ya?"

"I'm off to BKK/SEA/LAX/MSY/LGA/ORD [I always say it like this: "O. R. D.," or "L. A. X." never "Chicago" or "LA"] to hang out with my freaky frequent flyer friends."

I like it because of the alliteration...

Sweet princess barracuda, I mean baraboodish, the story I told was located at IAD.... the glories of MSY are a whole different ballgame. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I quite agree with you, although in a different way.. I believe the one nighters are fine here but its the other stuff like:

Happy Birthday so and so
Celebrity Sightings
Unemployment
World cup fantasy league
Freddie Junior stuff
Get a FT life
etc etc etc

that I don't like; but since I am against moderation 100% I just live with it and post to it, b/c its there and there isn't much use in worrying about it.. if you can't beat em join em

I, for one, think that most "smaller events which may be one night affairs" should not be discussed here in Community.

Geez, George were you drunk AND high that night? Not only was BD at IAD, she was also on the plane with us IAD-MSY...

I give up: what does "DO" stand for?
 
Yes, I've searched for the answer. Feel free to give me a flaming that Sheryl would be proud of: as long as you also throw in the answer. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I asked the same question myself once! Here's the answer courtesy of doc

FWIW, the term "DO" was officially coined by the famed CATMAN himself, in reference to the "Catman Do I", in NYC in October, 1999!

Hope this helps!

Unsure of the meaning of a word? Hey, there's this handy new thing called a DICTIONARY! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

And they even have them on the World Wide Web! www.m-w.com , for example.

If you search for the word "do," one of its definitions (as a noun) is "a festive get-together" or "party."

No, the word was NOT coined by anyone on FlyerTalk! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

You left out the attribution of those three (yes, THREE!) quotes!

Shame on you!
