yep just went to JAL boards and saw the english presser, I think that is the best thing for them.

Indeed, ensuring that Japan will be, first and foremost, Land of the Rising Star Alliance. ;)

I know someone that has an entire room full of them :eek:

I mean the entire 10x12 room, floor to ceiling with exception of a walkway on 'lazy susan' style shelving to spin them around. But even those are in there so tight when you spin one it spins others nearby and sometimes the tybabies fall down.

My mother got in on the Beanie Baby thing and did not get out. There is a duffel bag full of them in her attic.

Well, you can grow a fir tree in your lung. :-:

Mothers in the attic?

Hey ALCO, Anvil has this on tap: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile...t=high&start=0

Had one last night and was really impressed: ^^^

Kewl. Will have to check that out.

But his breath did always smell good

Interesting sidebars on that page as well, who'd thunk twitter and racy would go together

wow!

Sweet. My passport is currently in limbo at teh Bolivian Embassy in D.C., which is closed due to snowmageddon. :-:

Beanies were such a huge craze. We bought them for MissTeenBrit to play with, and she did just that. We didn't bother to keep them "pristine" because as far as we were concerned they were toys. We have some of the very first ones manufactured. I'm sure if they were in pristine condition a collector would want them, but they are tatty and ragged and well played with. Which is how they should be!

:eek:

As long as it doesn't take as long as our green card application took, you'll be fine!

Our green card application was in the labor cert phase, when it suddenly went into "limbo" because the room in which our file was being handled was discovered to be contaminated with asbestos. Every file in that room was sealed for 2 years until they had cleaned out the asbestos. :rolleyes: Our green card application was delayed for 2yrs because of it. NJ. What can I tell ya!

That doesn't bode well for travel this weekend
