Always before (sometimes multiple before), sometimes also after, and once in a while during. Drinking copious amounts of coffee and having a diet that is heavy on grain and lean meat will do that.

If it is, my fault. Only IAH PClub I've been in is E, as opposed to much more experience with EWR clubs.

I forgot to add the most important thing for all of you going to ANC. The Boardroom has two ply :D

You're probably right. :p

Both Android and BB have add-ons for the Eclipse IDE. I literally knew nothing of Eclipse nor Java a couple weeks ago (10 May) when I did the initial download. The "Hello, World" and other samples for the Android were useful enough that I was able to port an app from Win32/ASP.NET to the Android client pretty quickly, like a week or so part-time. I started slogging through the BB documentation and samples and am hitting a wall. It just isn't as clear to me. I'm porting the inventory searches (Apollo, Worldspan, Galileo) now and then I'm going to switch to the MacBook and see about how complicated it will be to get the iPhone version of those two running. Then on to fares and ANA tool.

Teh Pit festered. :-:

I've never actually been to RDU - my pulled pork has either been from MEM or southeastern VA (RIC - which to me is in the East Carolina sphere of influence with respect to BBQ)

I was running early so I went to EWR and took the call from the UFC PClub ("the Ocatgon"). Big mistake. Between obnoxious family and three other people in my vicinity on calls, it was a mess. I couldn't find a quiet corner. :rolleyes:

Soup + two-play. I'm moving West !

A/C swap for me this morning but still on lie-flats. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Why doesn't CO have the booking codes on the page when you're looking at flights? :mad:

I really enjoyed the Pit. The one thing I didn't like was the potato salad. They used bread and butter pickles in it and it just doesn't taste right.

WWBD: Flight 118 from EWR - TPA is still showing "pretzels and a kick in the a$s" for food in F but a turkey bomb in back. Should I buy food in EWR and bring on board (always the safe bet) or risk potentially no meal in F (is that possible)?

I didn't have brekkie, so I will want/need food at some point.

I would bring food, you never know what mystery surprise will greet you on a tray.

Get food at EWR.

All this talk of BBQ makes me want to get Texas BBQ for lunch.

I can now haz Dunkin, since my earlier dash-8 flight, LGA-PVD went MX after pushback
Haz been upgraded too. To a CRJ
So glad that I opted for the early-ugly flight up from BWI,
Is two dunkins in a row wrong?



BD, misread about BBQ, Thought it was Hartman that was talking bout pulled pork-he was just over in RDU and was heading to a BBQ place called the pit

Well, today seems to be a poop day...
And just to make sure we all get our BMDROP* I'll repost the workpoop worksheet:

As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, the following is the survival guide for taking a dump at the office.

CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone gets a whiff but doesn’t know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Don’t stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra thirty feet or so to make sure the smell has left your pants.

FLY BY: The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back later. Be careful not to become a Frequent Flyer. People may become suspicious if they see you constantly going into the bathroom.

ESCAPEE: The fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you didn’t hear it. No one likes an escapee. It’s uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually the side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, don’t panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare them the awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH: The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the Walk of Shame.

WALK OF SHAME: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: A colleague who poops at work and is damned proud of it. The Out of the Closet Pooper can often be found entering the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always check to make sure the Out of the Closet Pooper is in the office before doing a Fly By.

SAFE HAVENS: A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This reduces the odds of someone entering the bathroom while pooping.

TURD BURGLAR: Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain seated in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you can avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH: A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover up a Watermelon or to scare off potential Turd Burglars.

ASTAIRE: A subtle toe tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is being used. If you hear an Astaire on a Fly By, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
Update: Do not use an Astaire at MSP airport unless you want company.

WATERMELON: A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This can be very embarrassing. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See Camo Cough.

HAVANA OMELET: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee or, even worse, a Jailbreak.


*BMDROP= Box Minimum Daily Requirement Of Poop

I'm pretty sure you know what to do. :-:

+1 on food at EWR. TPA seems to be a market that does not get well-catered. There was that thread last week or so about IAH-TPA catering. Yields into and out of there must suck for CO not to cater F the same as other Florida flights.
