You're going to have to elaborate. There's a lot of :rolleyes: going around these days.

It was a shame we did not go to the karaoke bar that night because the crowd was a lot better than the following night when some of us returned.

No kidding. Today was just your typical co-worker :rolleyes:.

I took quite a few pictures during the trip. But not of the karaoke. Instead, I was quite :rolleyes: and did not foray outside of the hotel room that day other than for 1/2 hour to allow the maid to freshen things up.

Speaking of being :rolleyes: on the trip, the more I think about it the more I think it came from someone/something on our flight rather than food poisioning. Another person (who we met on the flight) was on my flights to and from AMS. He was sick with the same thing at about the same time. We all had different meals on the airplane and afterward. Finally, the :rolleyes: lasted quite a bit longer than it would from food poisioning.

The airline formerly known as Whachuwant Air is proud to announce its rebranding as DelNorTalia Aeroline, along with its brand spanking new European hub at Roma Leonardo da Vinci (FCO). Grazie.

No doubt - and especially after alcohol and coffee.

I've always wanted to do karaoke of the Traveling Wilburys with friends / acquaintances; of course, I have the capability to sing all the parts except the one I would really love to be able to pull off ...

Lets see, from your own statement, with some minor additions:

1. Surplus planes, bought butt cheap (sung to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds").
2. Using said planes to serve markets that can't profitably be served with more conventionally-acquired aircraft.
3. Being really selective about the routes flown, baffling others by connecting middle-of-nowhere point A to center-of-east-nowhere point B.

I thought "G4" as soon as I read your paragraph.

That press release makes me want to go punch Sheldon Adelson.

1. :D
2. It's not that the markets can't be profitably served...it's just that the ROI comes quicker thanks to the discount on the aircraft.
3. G4 is hiring a Network Planning Analyst...LAS-based job. I'm not joking.

:confused: - and here I was going around thinking that I was in the running to be the Dennis Miller of The Box, he who uses the odd references proudly.

All the haphazardly-put-together Italian elements was too reminiscent of The Venetian.

The frequent flyer gods conspire against me yet again...not only did my fiancee and her paltry less than 10K CO LFM balance get targeted for Mileathon before I did at the beginning of this year, but she is also taking advantage of DEQM while I cannot...she will be joining the family at large in FLL and flying home on 6/15.

How did you rename your airline?

Got it now.

My hub at FCO is its own borgata...

No other airlines wanted FCO: I said "You can act like a man; what's the matter with you?"

:D

I use my World Admin powers...I can't remember how to do it in normal screens.

Wouldn't that quote be more appropriate for PimpSlap Air in a perverse sense?

PM me your name change - I'll do it now since I'm logged in on the other computer.

Well said, yes indeed.
