I've been here a couple of weeks now and I've learned a few things:

  • You all sure like to imbibe.
  • There truly is a wizard of fozz
  • I'm only an amateur sarcastic sob
  • I thought Baglady purposely put together convoluted routing. Yikes.
  • More is more
  • Poo, apparently, rules
  • alco mainlines the CO flight and promotional tables
  • Never let ssulivan book my rental car
  • He who wanders has one he|| of a blog
  • I'm going to be way camera shy at any and all DOs
  • See the first item on this list
  • While the shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, it certainly results in fewer EQMs
  • Woe to the airline that commits a fare error
  • Your mileage runs are sure more interesting than my sole MR excursion IAH-VCT
  • There seems to be a box member at a P-Club at any given time. Who makes the schedule?
  • What rolov and CO1E don't know could fit into, well, a box
  • You guys are way nicer that Baglady said you were. ;)
  • I never thought that emoticons could be the basis for a philosophical framework to better understand the world. (And dish on it)
  • This is the place for tech advice
  • Did I mention you're all lushes? (But in a really fun, clever and charming way)
  • If looking for great places to eat, it would hard to beat the pair of 6067 and CM for sage advice
  • There seems to be contest that is not named to fit as many acronyms as one can into a post
  • There are lurkers everywhere, trust them not!
  • I can get hoops play-by-play without even going near a TV
  • The name of a small desert town between Vegas (sorry, LAS) and LA with an inordinate number of "Zs" in its name would make a great handle
  • Where were all you good EWR people when I lived in Jersey?
  • Random numerical milestones seem to be a source of great pride
  • An angel works the gate in SFO
  • Who would have thought that one could make more than one run to Australia in a week, on purpose and apparently of free will. Though perhaps it was all an elaborate poly to liberate an airport golf cart.
  • Those who box = those who drink

End of line

Welcome indeed. You can help Baglady with the whole "budget" concept. ;)


Oh, looks like I just hit the big 5-0.

I thought you all had a private forum where Randy parks the black helicopters for that kind of stuff.

On the business side, have an office on a U.S. commonwealth this close to Asia could be quite beneficial.

Nice. Best wishes.

Welcome!

We've had a huge insurgence of newcomers lately, welcome to all.

So much for us laying below the radar. :D

Yeah, I'm in Austin now and here until Wed. Wanted to hit Dublin and then I figure up to Dallas and across I-20.

I had a friend drive out from SAN and he is flying back on Wed. One of my other friends is flying in Wed and then we're driving to RDU, where she lives. Then the "recent acquisition" aka gf, is flying down to RDU on Friday and doing the last leg with me.

By the end of this, I will have done the I-10, I-20, I-40 and I-70 routes across the country. Only two more to round out the collection. Amazingly, i've never done a single one going west, they always go east.

I guess you can take the training wheels off now. :)

The Box's elevated attention leading up to the Do and our failed attempt at (SkyTeam partner) nation building probably have the most to do with our rise in visibility. Most of us sitting together at the Larry and Jeff show and the brunch probably didn't hurt either.

Thank you Plus1 for the compliment and boy do you have The Box pegged. :D

You mean it wasn't my shout out to the box? ;)

Oh, I forgot to mention: for those interested golfers...is anyone opposed to not using Titleist for the instant collector's item :ROLLEYES: balls?

I found a new golf shop local to me that is willing to do the legwork for me and comparison shop the custom ball programs of all the major manufacturers...I figure that there's no harm in seeing what the other ball makers are willing to do.
