I observed a trashcan fire at Terminal B yesterday, outside by the Taxi stand (caused by a CO ramper on break who threw a lit cigarette into the trash). Some guy just nonchalantly walked out of the Taxi stand office and put it out with an extinguisher. I got the impression this has happened more than once.

Actual coversation with a buddy; "Did you watch the Indians embarrass the Yankees 22-4 yesterday?" "Yeah, the bullpen gave up two runs... they suck.":rolleyes:

I really truly don't comprehend how hard it must be for some people to follow the rules. Yet these same people will deny that the rules apply to them and deny that they come off as smelling better than the populace. I wish we could vote them off the island, but alas that is not an option. Don't get me wrong, I know CO isn't perfect and I will slam them when needed, but at the end of the day, airlines are like cell phone providers. They all suck, just in different ways.

On another note, after I did my John Sterling impression w/r/t your succinctness in the GCM thread, I realized that I forgot a key component: Yankee home run calls are inevitably made to be about the announcer because of the stupid stuff that he adds at the end: "an A-Bomb from A-Rod", etc. I added in the Wizard of Fozz reference but later realized that it should have read something like "The Wizard of Fozz has sent the OP's argument back to Kansas!" just so the joke stayed in true (yeggh) Yankee broadcasting style. |

He then had a great line to follow it up: "I guess I'm putting out fires in more ways than one today."

Welcome to PHL. Those sadistic Eagles fans are the same way. They could beat Detroit 52-7 and both fans and analysts will lament the lone touchdown and call it cause for the Philly defense to be practiced harder the following week or some such lame thing. Oh, and if a California condor farts in the Grand Canyon, Donovan McNabb is blamed. I love that.
Are you in town for Box Hibachi? |

I sincerely hope that the day never comes in CO-land when I read something UA-esque like "As a Gold Elite, this should be obvious to you. Why it's not, I'm not sure. Perhaps you are learning impaired." I don't think our happy little forum will ever reach the point of selfishness, arrogance, and self-rightousness that UA has reached, mainly because OnePass is not nearly as complicated as M+, nor does OnePass have the kinds of loopholes that M+ does, such to the point that the UA people coined the term "M+ Ph.D."

Yes and no. We are getting UA-ish for two reasons: A) We are getting UA leakage from those who wish to see what the new partner is like, and B) the occasional intelligent CO/UA discussion does lead to an often-reasonable volley of posts about CO's faults.

Or, they just have nothing better to do with their lives.

I still can't believe that one thread is still going. I would have thought it would have died after Scott chimed in and the expected thanks Scott posts, but nooooo. :rolleyes: I'm waiting for a post about an expired passport or visa to be CO's fault.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
