EWR-LIM is one heckuva flight. Printed menus, BF Seats w/AVOD, some of the best in-flight CO Service I've ever had, and the night-time approach to LIM along the Peruvian coast gets a huge ^.

I was seriously worried about the Sheraton here after the reviews it got. Apparently, the Club Floor has been renovated. The rooms are oddly reminiscent of the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers. Pleasant surprise, indeed.

Welcome to the continent! I've been living the rough life here in EZE since Tue. Looks like the box is going to be well represented here in S. America this week. rolov & his +1 are getting into EZE tonight or tomorrow morning too, I believe.

I haven't sot in a long time, I bought loads(ie several case) of 12/20 shells from 2 to 7 sized shot and .22 when it was on sale a year back.

got quite a bit of .22mag, .223 and some other that shall remain unlisted stockpiled as well. I didn't do it on purpose however, I was just buying on sale.

I have only shot a gun twice in the last year and that was to get rid of an armadillo that kept trying to root under the house. :rolleyes:

Don't you people over there in rural TX all have concrete bunkers full of ammo and racks of automatic weapons in your back yards? I heard that's what occupies most of your spare time when you're not churning your butter.

If for no other reason that our hard-working domestic waiters and exotic dancers have fallen woefully behind their counterparts to the North in not being able to carry those nifty coin dispensers around their waists.

Ahhh, a nice bright sunny and chilly day. Perfect for my drive out east to Burton for the volunteer fire department pancake breakfast. Why drive 1.5 for p-cakes? It is a good cause, its a family tradition, its beautiful and its fresh maple syrup season! ^^

My Mom has a doctor in her practice at home in England who is called Dr. Pepper. Every time Mom visits me she picks up a can to take back to her! Dr. P has a shelf in her office where she displays her Dr. P cans!!!

Thanks. 300 miles is 300 miles!!

You also get "well I was upgraded on the last flight so you can do it on this one" from select "snotty" customers that refuse to understand that you will not give away the seat "just because it's empty".

This area is a real Catch-22. As I explained it to one dissatisfied customer, I don't looking for people in the airport to fly for free when we have open Y seats.

In your GA role, you sure do have to have the patience of a saint! I always always always make sure that I am polite to both the FAs and the GAs, even if I am frustrated or ticked off about something. (And, to be honest, in all my years of flying, I have rarely been rattled enough about something to feel the need to vent my frustration.)

Do you like the BB Storm? I'm thinking of upgrading from my ancient Treo!

I've noticed that it also displays "HO" quite a bit. Should I take that personally?

I'm in the market for a new dishwasher. New everything actually given that we are the idiots, oops, mean lucky ones who are about to build a new house in Central NJ. Stop laughing everyone I can hear you!!!!

+1. Austin is where I want to be.

Oh yeah. Depending on where in Edison, I avoid North Edison like the plague. The only reason I venture there is for Indian/Pakistani food.[/QUOTE]

Greaaaaaaat Indian food in North Edison. Yummmmmmy!

I live in New Jersey. Hell has been on my speed dial for quite some time.

I wish the old Saget is God site was still up - the owner did a Photochop of Bob, backlit him, and gave him a halo.

Morning, Box, wherever everyone else in the world may be today.

Are there new frequent posters in The Box who have not seen my picture with Saget? Hmmm, off to find the link.

Now, if it was Joe Pesci, that'd be different. We all know he's the real god.

Mike Rolls With Saget...got the picture during a show. He was kind enough to stop the performance.

I just did. :p

And Joe Bless You. (Easily one of his top 10 modern-era bits, by the way.)

Nice. No pic with with Anthony?

A few years ago I was fortunate to hang out with them in the studio, sadly I didn't take any pics. One of my friends keeps telling me I need to go back and listen to this weeks shows as there was some interesting radio that happened.

So, i'm wondering where in the pacific J Edward may be. We haven't seen any updates and he should be wrapping up #3 soon. Is he still alive and kicking? :D

Anthony is a notoriously hard shot to grab. When he is in ACY he is either sleeping or on the tables, and I've heard he can be a real jackhole to casino floor staff. He will play public tables (unlike Hoo Hoo Howie) but will berate dealers for turning over winning hands. That gallery needs to be updated...I also have shots with Bobby Collins, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Stephen Lynch, Kevin Smith, Mike Emrick.

And yeah, this week was some cringe radio. Opie basically accused Ant of halfassing it for an extended period and they both had some anger issues as related to dismissal from K-Rock.
