Hasn't in my experience.

IIRC, the way the waitlist works is this (there's a huge thread on this in UA land, so I may be getting some of the finer points wrong):

Turns out it didn't matter. Though I never got the email my upgrade had already cleared when I went to check in. Row 9 was full, of course, but I got my seat in p.s. C for the first time. Looking forward to it.

And of course, 3 minutes after I put together that post, he tweets that his upgrade has cleared. :D

Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job's ain't a job, it's a damn good time
City to city, I'm running my rhymes
On location, touring around the nation
:rolleyes: always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I'm willing and able
Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking
Going coast to coast, watching all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine to five
:rolleyes: at the Garden, cold kickin' it live

No sleep 'til Brooklyn

It is nice to know that I am not the only :rolleyes: to whom this reference occurred.

sbm12 and I have shared this reference in this very box prior to CO DO IV, so it is coming to be quite treasured, I think. :)

It's also helpful for actual speed calculations in the event there is a law enforcement officer in the area. I figure if I can navigate the 405 in LA I can at least survive I-95 and the Turnpike in Jersey.

The NJT shouldn't be a problem (and once you're on it, getting to Princeton is fairly straightforward; the big issue will be once you are on US 1 and need to remember that left turns tend to be jug-handles). The issue will be getting to the NJT. As I recall, I was told that I had given bad advice the last time this subject came up, and so I will stop there.

So you're saying I should keep my boarding pass from PTY-LIM? ;)

Absolutely. I thought you cancelled LIM plans? When are you going?

I cancelled it as a 5 day vacation. I am going June 11 and 12. Still trying to figure out where to stay. The Sheraton is kind of pricey but the Novotel doesn't earn any points and is a little out of the way.

Stay off the Parkways and you'll be fine. Just don't be the fastest :rolleyes: on the road and you won't get pulled over. There's almost always someone breaking triple digits (usually racing the SQ345). :o

Never the wrong time for a Beastie Boys reference.


Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, :rolleyes:, New York you make it happen

Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
Writers, prize fighters and Wall Street traders
We come together on the subway cars
Diversity unified, whoever you are
We're doing fine on the One and Nine line
On the L we're doin' swell
On the number Ten bus we fight and fuss
'Cause we're thorough in the boroughs and that's a must
I remember when the Duece was all porno flicks
Running home after school to play PIX * 1
At lunch I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street
And hit the Fulton Street Mall for the sneakers on my feet
Dear New York I hope you're doing well
I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
So, we give thanks for providing a home
Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, :rolleyes:, New York you make it happen

The L.I.E. the B.Q.E
Hippies at the band shell with the L.S.D.
Get my BVD's from VIM
You know I'm reppin' Manhattan the best I can
Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's got thrown out
Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out
You didn't rob me in the park at Dianna Ross
But everybody started looting when the light went off
From the South South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge
From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge
From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side
From 1010 WINS to Live At Five
Dear New York this is a love letter
To you and how you brought us together
We can't say enough about all you do
'Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, :rolleyes:, New York you make it happen

Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the Upper West
I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
Life long we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests
Since 911 we're still livin'
And lovin' life we've been given
Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us
Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust
Dear New York I know a lot has changed
2 towers down but you're still in the game
Home to many rejecting know one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
Asian, Middle-Eastern and Latin
Black, White, :rolleyes:, New York you make it happen


Since we're talking about random alternative music from the 90's, anyone ever seen the video documenting the incident that Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is about? Holy :rolleyes:.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, save yourself the :rolleyes: and don't do it. Especially at work. It's about as gruesome as a certain video involving people and cups (although of a different vain).

I also fully understand that by bringing this up there's going to be a few people that look into this. Especially with my disclaimer that you really don't want to.

Really. You. Don't. Want. To.
