It's like a police car on the side of the road w/ its lights on. Everyone slows down and takes a look because it's there. I'll stop posting in hopes it drops back a few pages and gets lost in never never land.

To flame or not to flame...that is the burning question.
I am enjoying the entertainment value and :rolleyes: effect.

I was too but I'm not enjoying the headaches (literal).

I've committed culinary blasphemy for a mid afternoon snack. A microwaved Nathan’s hotdog on a piece of rye bread with ketchup and jalapeño slices.

My offer to split the $103 million is still out there.:) My new roof won't cost that much.

I don't think snacks are subject to culinary blasphemy. I've broken out the wine.:cool:

I got to page 13 and quit reading. It is just people yelling at each other at this point. The thread needs to be taken out and shot. That thread has taken rational discourse, violated it, and left it for dead on the side of the road.

And that was just page 1.

The problem (as I see it, while choosing NOT to engage on commenting on moderation policies, an act that can result in disciplinary action ;)) is that no ToS are being violated. Besides, it is funny if you don't actually take it seriously.

That's what that smell is. Here I thought my toilet had backed up.

my humor seems to be lacking in my posts. Trust me I am funnier in-person.

Actually that was me, I had krystal chili-cheese ranch frys for lunch.

Quickest turn ever! We were late getting into PDX and they turned the flight as quick as they could. Good thing the wine cart was at the gate, I grabbed a few bottles of PDX's finest. No time to check out the clubs though.

I sat next to Bob Beers on the way up (if you have any idea who that is)

Box NYC Mini-DO update:

Due to a possible late arrival by rolov, the reservation for tomorrow night's dinner has been moved back to 745. I have told him that it is unlikely that food will be ordered for at least a half hour after that as the early arrivals investigate the restaurant's wine, beer, and spirits capabilities.

All who have originally signed up have confirmed except shell nyc who I presume is currently in transit from CUR ^ and will show up in town sometime tomorrow.

I understand that sbm12 has now become a possible show. I know the place and I am sure that they will be able to find a place for him in one of the corners of the dining room, or maybe in the hallway. ;) I will be sure to bring a cellphone with sensitive speaker capabilities so that if we are out of his sightlines, he still can join us electronically. :D

The (almost) final list:

baglady (guest of honor)
monitor
franny,
Olton Hall
rolov
belynch
jrzyshawn+1
shell nyc+1


Possible:

sbm12


Possible late arrivals:

Mr BL
sbm12
(if he can't make the dinner)

Just got off a transcon.

The food offered on transcon was less than a midcon. The fruit bowl served separately was the same as the fruit bowl on a shorthaul. It used to be a nice fruit plate. Omelet was the same. No yogurt. I was disappointed.

It was a 752 no less. Service was mediocre.

UA p.s. beats this flight out of the water and around the corner.

:rolleyes:

Bingo.

The ALPA thread is great. Wonderful trolling (well, up to page 7 anyway). I have to :rolleyes: at anyone that makes changes to their plans because of what someone on a forum says. :rolleyes:
