Sorry about the multi-quote but I'm about 2 days behind on Teh Box and trying to catch up. Friday was a very :rolleyes: day....I'll put that in a later post. In the meantime, enjoy my random set of replies below.

There is some woman who wants to put her 2 month old son, ET in a pageant! Most of the parents can't form a sentence in English.

I haven't seen that show but I watched the special "Living Dolls" on HBO a few years ago. Very disturbing how these parent's brains work....some of them can't afford rent, food, etc. but they spend thousands of $$$$ on stylists, trainers, and travel for their kids in these pagents. Sick!

I think Seth Green may be a big Hello Kitty fan. Check out this clip from Robot Chicken.....one of the funniest things ever on that show....and it proves she has a mouth! :eek:

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Hopefully once you dish out some legal reality, she'll get the hint and you won't have to escalate things.

haha I made post 77,000 and I wasn't even trying. I was simply trying to get a word in for the day, been a wild week and no time for boxing!

Minor numeric milestone

You can't buy a ticket on this flight on co.com for some reason yet the seat map has several open spots. Downgauge in aircraft?

(Morning v2.0 box)

My crystal ball says, "Slim to none for the upgrade, but bumping looks good."

Flight is overbooked and F is sold out. Equipment in a 737-800.

Congrats, SDM1130... hope you had a fantastic day and lots of memories that will last forever!

Sorry to hear about the issues ALCO. Hopefully it works out for you.

Yeah, every tiem I go into a liquor store now, it makes me glad that I don't have to go to them in PA anymore. Such a hassle that was (recording EVERYONE'S ID#, SSN or other proof from everyone's ID that was in your party was annoying).

In PA, if you want something less than a case (sold at beer distributers), you had to get a 4-6 pack from a bar at a significantly increased price. If you want beer/wine, you gotta buy it from the "State St:rolleyes:re" where there are no competitors.


G'night B:rolleyes:x. Been a long night of hitting the bars & running into someone that I met at CO DO IV :D (and putting up with my coworkers wasted wife... I'm sure he's going to have a great time with her tonight).

Good morning, odd denizens of the Box.

Apparently my sister and her friend's two little girls are coming over this evening to watch Disney movies and whatnot. I think I'll be camping out here in the office. :o

Sorry if I was confusing last night. I have 2 P Club passes, but I also have a P Club membership, so the passes are a bit redundant. I was looking to send them to someone in exchange for something else -- namely drink chits. I'll go Kramer-esque and say "interesting trades accepted."

Sucks man. Hopefully a clear mind in the a.m. will have you developing a clear course of action. I feel silly giving legal advice to a lawyer, but I'd refrain from posting online about this. Anything you say (especially when drunk) could be used against you in :rolleyes:.

Although I think we're all curious how this turns out. :o

At least I have the exit row. :rolleyes:

I can't even really take an earlier flight, if offered, because I'm traveling with a co-worker. I need to beer engineer something better than this.

Morning Box.

Good morning Box.

Well, I made it and I am now a married man! The weather was great, the ceremony was perfect and the reception was a blast!! Thank you for all the well wishes.

We are sitting in the DL 77L seats now - ready to go! I have a feeling these seats will actually make the 14:25 flight quite pleasant!

Congratulations to you and your wife. I'm glad everything went well. Safe travels and take lots of pictures of aircraft interior. ALCO would demand no less. :D
