I don't like L.A. but this In-N-Out at LAX is awesome. I'll start flying here just to plane watch

^ I couldn't agree more! LA is (IMO) a pretty boring city but the view at the In-N-Out is spectacular! Did you make it over to Imperial Hill at all?

I suppose I can take sales since that's what I do :) As I'm already a VP - I need to be raised to at least an EVP position.

I would like to take some position here that is equal in responsibility to the one that Cholula gave me over in the Delta Forum Lounge. I am Food and Beverage Manager there and since all of the drinks and meals are virtual, I need do nothing at all while the posters conjure up their own visions of snacking, eating, and drinking.

Since I do have so much experience, I guess that I could do a very good job at that over here, but I don't really want to do it since by now I need to get out of the kitchen. :p

Didn't have a chance to make it to Imperial Hill but I did run into a controller at the In-N-Out. He had a scanner so we listened to all of the traffic and watched it come in.

Hearing the pilots spout off the different taxiway routes was amazing (and LAX is confusing).

If any of you are in aviation, or follow closely, this is an unusual radar and voice transcript of a F16 interception of two GA aircraft.

A link near the top of the page gives information about the incident and the link towards the bottom is the actual recordings.

NEW JERSEY/FANCYCHESTER, July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Penalty Box Consulting, LLC, a leading solutions and architecture provider in nobody is really sure what, announced its formation of a Latin American Division today. The similarly named Caja De Penales Consultantes had not been doing much of anything in its Panama City offices today when it was surprised to hear of the acquisition. Penales Consultantes CEO R. Olov was stunned to learn that his company would now be the first step in Penalty Box's ultimate global expansion. "Ay, Dios mio" was all Mr. Olov could manage to utter as an army of Penalty Box minions entered his building, many of them armed with daquiri machines and man-portable beer kegs.

Penalty Box Consulting, LLC will buy out Penales Consultantes in a combined stock and frequent-flyer miles swap, with the latter portion of the transaction occurring in a heretofore unknown economic vehicle known as Coupon Connection. Details of the swap were not released by either company, however Penalty Box executive secretary Mike Holovacs was positively giddy over his upcoming trip to Singapore and he was witnessed mumbling incoherently about champagne and suites. Penalty Box Vice President for Human Resources Sullivan Stevens III remarked that the integration of the two companies would be "easy, seamless, and shouldn't take more than a few drinks' time to complete."

Penalty Box Consulting ("PBC, LLC") is the world's fifth largest consultancy, specializing in the topic of the day. PBC, together with Penales Consultantes and inhouse legal counsel ALCO Connection, has more than 3,100 clients throughout the Americas, with a strong desire for expansion into Europe and Asia. The staff currently visits their genius upon 145 domestic and 138 international corporations and bars. More than 550 additional clients are served via the MySpace consulting alliance. With more than 45,000 employees, PBC, LLC has offices serving clients in New York, Houston, San Francisco and San Diego, and together with Penales Consultantes, carries approximately 69 million alcoholic beverages per year.

Post of the day sir. Post. Of. The. Day.

EDIT v2.0: I redact the prior retraction and abdicate all further legal responsibilities associated with, but not including, Jersey jokes. This edit may contain forward looking statements that are nonsense.

(Although I haven't accessed the URL, I have a sneaking suspicion my job description is posted there.)

In other news, went to my local hole-in-the-wall (the kind of place that we refuse to go to for lunch because we're afraid to see what it looks like in daylight) for supper last night and they were running specials from ALCO brewery.

The box is haunting me.

And yes, I call it supper. Get over it.
