I've had sonic and whataburger at the same time in 2008 in IAH. I just didn't love Whataburger and I don't know why but I like sonic better.

I see. Well in my defense:

(a) my post was tongue in cheek

(b) I have never, in my 2yrs in the Box, been to the UA forum so the only place I have seen $misek is here in the box

(c) to quote Starwood Lurker: Opinions are likes noses. We all have them. Or something like that .....

And, anyone who knows me, knows that I am a CO girl through and through and so wouldn't make a post like that unless it was tongue in cheek.

Defensiveness off.

Sorry for the book cross post but I think I have done the craziest thing as far as a bump. Voluntered today for a flight on Friday night that is over by 2 so far. In addition, if IAH goes bad the agent did already put in protection flights on DL so I would be able to move over there very easily. No one can say that they volunteered before me!

There's a bad transformer down the street. It goes at the slightest bit of dampness. Power was restored around 1:30 PM based on the blinking clocks.

Her use of it comes from her mother. While the TV character is "Lenny", she believes that "Lennie" was meant to be a kind of reminder that the cash machine is akin to giving yourself a loan, or so it was explained to me.

Puppy school is always a good time when the instructor takes your dog around as an example. It seems that we can haz the good boy of the group.

There was a Morkie in the class that was scared out of its mind and would not socialize at all...this was compensated for by the owner of said dog, who resolutely refused to shut up.

There are pictures of the 787 parked at Terminal D next to the EK 777.

No Fuddruckers or Ruby Tuesdays?

I'll putt Kopp's as my top fast food burger, but it's limited to WI. Comparing Kopp's to Sonic is like comparing OZ to NK. World's best custard as well.

The only time I've found low "premium" awards have been on partners and never on DL. Last April I even took advantage when DL had a glitch and booked the gf and I into KE F to NRT. That's been about the only time I've been happy with Delta. That and getting served a great juicy cheeseburger on a CR9 from JFK to MSP.

I've also had 388 on AF. Nothing really special about it. My personal preference is the AF 77W. I think ALCO would agree with me that SU's 763's actually have one of the better Skyteam TATL seats.

My ST seat preferences are AF F > KE 2nd Gen F > SU C > DL 764 C > AF C= KL C > DL angled lie flat > DL Recliner.

I have yet to do AZ, AM, CZ, or KQ

You should have booked the 380, told her, and then demanded her surrender.

I have never tried Whataburger, and had my first ever Sonic experience this evening.

I had the chicken strip wrap and was seriously underwhelmed. I found it bland and tasteless.

Needless to say, I will not become a Sonic regular!

Nor any fast food joint for that matter!

And, I'm annoyed that I allowed MissTeenBrit to talk me into taking her.... I used 13 weightwatchers points on that rubbish
