I don't think so:( I hope someone called ASPCA. I"m also bothered by his middle finger on the lower puppy.

I love it. It is a real machine, solid, and does just about everything you’d want. It is made by Nautilus and it can take a beating. The machine I have takes up a lot of real estate. The ones you see on TV are typically the vertical model while mine is the horizontal model. It took some getting use to at first and some ego checking but that's short lived. The ego checking has to do with the power rods. You want to set them what you do with weights but you have to set it lower at first which is the ego check issue. Things like bench presses were a bit hard at first getting use to bringing the cables around and also having to improve bicep strength to get in the starting position. Once the short learning curve period is over it’s a great machine.

Very cool! Where did the stuffed ???? come from? Looks like a great lounge!

That was given to me by the SQ staff on the A380 in January.
Freddie Jr. wanted it so I gave it to him.

I believe this is actually just a bug that has been around since they switched the fare classes around. I've had it happen to me a few times - even with upgrades before/after checkin.

I've seen it a few times recently as well. Not much to worry about from my experience.

I'm glad I avoided the tunnel on my way back last night. I almost ended up in it coming back from JFK, but decided to skip it.

My apologies to all at the AMS DO for bowing out on Saturday. I got so :rolleyes: on Friday/Friday Night, that I couldn't even function by Saturday. It was all I could manage to shuffle down to the Rijksmuseum on Saturday afternoon. "Pace yourself" definitely was missing from my vocabulary on Friday. :rolleyes:

ETA - Happy Birthday, Plus1!

Glad to hear you're alive!

I'm pretty sure he lives in Airline lounges. :) I ran into him at the IAD WC on my way back from BRU.

Happy Birthday Plus1!

A big ^ to UA for upgrading our SFO-JFK flight to a 777. A big :td: to the gf being on a reward ticket and being stuck in the back. :(

In true UA logic, 253 seats, 86 passengers. That seems like a great use of that aircraft. :)

I can't ever recall being kicked out of so many establishments. I can't remember the number of times I heard "Sir, this section is closing, you'll have to leave now."

I would kind of liked to have been able to survive into the later rounds. As it was, AMS scored a TKO after about 04:00am Saturday Morning. The day started Friday at around 08:30, with 11.8% Dutch beer at Schiphol that tasted absolutely rank (but didn't stop me from having 3 tall-boys before the train made it to AMS). Everything's a bit blurry after that.

You're making excuses like a married man. :rolleyes: or a lightweight like me. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

This is how I spent my Easter Sunday

Freddie Jr. is a replica of the Freddie Award given to FT in 1999.
There is a thread about it

He also has a FM

Someone needs to get Freddie Jr. to BNA - could add KOA to the FM in mid-May. What type of FM includes TYS but not BNA?

I see that Pimpslap Airlines has a Concorde on order. Wonder how many times it can make the turn between DFW and IAH.

Hmm - if someone can get him to ATL on the 11th (or BNA on the 9th / 10th / 11th), I could definitely add some new flight lines. I'll try to find out if he has commitments on the weekend of the 9th and might even schedule a gratuitous mileage run for a pickup ...

The latest SPG promo will certainly come in handy! ^
