More like a crazy monkey attacted his hair with a Flowbee.

The person who use to cut my hair years ago decided to become a UA FA. She was on vacation one week a few years ago and so she wasn't working her usual EWR-SFO flight. She quit being an FA after that.

My lady has a tee that says "I fix $8 hair cuts" :D

I do, too, at a barber shop on 7th avenue. I've been going to the same guy for 7 years now and I'm pretty sure that he still doesn't know my name. The price has gone up over the years, from $11.50 to $13.50 to the current $15, but still a bargain. When I'm feeling particularly indulgent I'll get a shave, too. That's a nice touch. Maybe tomorrow. :cool:

Anyone have a decent drinking game for the speech tonight? Or should I just keep drinking steadily with no particular motivation?

Now I know why Biden got a facelift. So we won't wonder how much work Nancy P. has done when they sit next to each other.

Looks like I have no chance at upgrades tomorrow. :rolleyes: 2 hours on an RJ than 3.5 in the back of a 73-5. :rolleyes::mad:

I hope the upgrade Gods take pity on me and hook a brother up on my transcon next week.

I just shave my own head. It feels great!!!

About your upgrade, I guess your chances of upgrade in a transcon are only marginally better than those in an ERJ... :rolleyes:

I am not pleased with Bank of America at all this moment - looking back over my statements, I've found they inappropriately declared to the IRS on a 1099 that I had a wash sale that excludes a $900 capital loss last year. My transaction didn't meet the first condition of a wash sale (e.g. "sell at a loss and then ..."). In fact, I bought the stock, then bought some more, then sold LIFO for a profit :rolleyes:

I'm watching Obama's speech but it's not slowing down my Box posting. Also drinking a Saison Dupont.

The clapping game will get us drunk the fastest. There's how many times he says Accountable. Catch Biden sleeping. Catch anyone in the gallery with folded arms and a scowl on their face. There are a few to choose from.

Pelosi is always smiling against her will - her face is pulled that tight.

My plan won't help the guy who bought the house he could never hope to afford...no, a bullet in the banker's head will help that, and now everyone else who did no wrong and is now suffering will help that.

Pelosi looks like she's wearing drapery.

Same. Once every 5-7 days.

What are some of these people reading? It looks like they are trying to figure out a Playbill and wondering "I thought we were going to see Cats tonight? This isn't Cats. Maybe Cat's starts after the next act?":rolleyes:

Pelosi has to have had a least $80k in plastic surgery. That's ok - I will be getting a chin tuck at some point, anyway.
