Bullseye. He isn't too much more than a sperm donor and a doormat, at least as perceived thanks to the combination of Kate and TV. One of the Opie & Anthony guys faked his way into one of her appearances and asked her all the wrong questions...it was so great to hear her lose her cool because the questions were coming from the perspective of dislike of the show. It's pretty obvious from that alone that access to her is pretty well-controlled and that she's not at all used to those who would dissent. Iron uterus, iron fist.

Yes and yes. Chico presented himself much differently than the last time we met him. And yeah, now having been in the building for the last two shutouts, I'd say he's pretty well where he needs to be. I have no concerns whatsoever should we catch Montreal or the Rangers in the first round.

Aww, poopie. :( My Lego Boeing 787 fell from its perch and 'asploded. There are bits and pieces all over the place behind my desk and rack. I suppose I'll put on my NTSB wannabe hat and do an aircraft reconstruction this afternoon. :rolleyes:

Won't ITA build out as long of a string as you ask it to?

Sure, but I'm looking for a way to actually buy the 8+ segment routing.

Big props (poops?) to Mackieman for turning me on to this - the IAHers have probably seen it, but it's too good to ignore:

Fart breaks tension at City Council

Between that and the weather for five-year-olds, I think you might be ignoring an untapped market.

Ahh. Lots of material out there on the difference between theory and practice.

Just wait 'til the lawsuits start.

:D We think they are gone although I see one of the *gentlemen* show up every now and again to grab something from the back yard.

The house is now slated for demolition although I've yet to see the wrecking ball show up. Cannot wait for that day. ^

Expedia allows for quite a few, but not sure if you can do eight. I recently bought an itinerary on expedia with five segments.

IIRC, Expedia maxes out at 6 segments - that might be as good as I am going to get. We really need an Internet booking site that will allow us to maximize silly UA routings.

Some would say that United.com already fills that niche.

Just wanted to drop in and say Morning all. I updated the Penalty Box FM with my flights. Forgot that I hadnt done some back in February and also had some N #s to update. It is interesting how many of the planes we have all flown on at different times. Also thanks to my IAH-OKC/TUL runs I have already flown a 737-700 4 times this year.

I definitely agree. All that a business flyer gets are useless qualifying miles. I don't need Plat on CO since that does not do much or anything for me but I do hope that at least DL holds out because with them, I am 100% on upgrades the past six months and do not need any more competition.
