Rick "drunk driver" Sanchez interviewed him on CNN using Skype this afternoon. I have no sympathy for his loss of instruments. He has lots of $$ to help replace the equipment. I do have sympathy for the generalisimo class of Nashville.:(

I got an upgrade on a 763 on Sunday. What would you guys say is the best seat. Right now Im in 1D. Also, does the seat trick work on this plane?

I get the chuckles from the fact that people reading it are actually taking it seriously.

I find it humorous that people continue to take it seriously after having been told several times that it was a joke.

Hefeweizen is not fruit-infused. It's a wheat beer that, in my opinion, doesn't even have a fruity taste (the one with the fruity taste is Belgian witbier -- Hoegaarden, Celis White, Blue Moon), though some :rolleyes: serve Hefeweizen with slices of citrus fruit. German weissbier isn't very bitter and has a pretty full taste but is slightly sweet.

The fruit-infused beer is lambic (which, as I understand it, technically can only be made in the area around Brussels because it ferments via yeast naturally occurring in the air, though the term is often used for any fruit-infused beer).

Who's 763? CO only has 762s and 764s.

I managed to drink 1.5 bottles of 2000 Dom Perignon on a 3.5 hour SQ F flight yesterday.

I think you need to get a different Hoegaarden as it really shouldn't have a fruity taste. It's top-fermented and unfiltered but does not have a flavor, though they use orange peel and coriander in the brewing process. In fact, I think Blue Moon is the only wittbier that has a fruit infusion.

I hate the taste of Blue Moon but enjoy Hoegaarden because it's light without the fruity aftertaste

That is amazingly funny. VeggieBurgerStephen has done that before too. I posted something, got a few LOL's, and then he came along and took it seriously. I was kind enough to explain that it was humor, and he noted his error and proceeded to find humor after being guided to it by a sherpa.

I saw lemon and orange zest and jumped to the fruit conclusion. :o

Should work, both the 762s and 764s have the same seats.

Got the top on the workbench and, I'll be damned, it's actually level. I'm still in amazement on that one.

I don't think that's a record ;)

Apparently he's doing some benefit concerts to aid the community which sounds very much needed. I still can't believe I was in Atlanta a few years ago when they had such a major drought they were shutting down the fountains in Olympic park.

Mine was really nice too until a teenage tall daughter took a shower and somehow managed to get a lot of the water on the wrong side which trickled down on the lovely workbench and kind of warped the wood.:mad:
