My patience is thin for this doo-doo. I sometimes wonder if some folks think it is their God given right to stand and scream their personal opinions with zero regard for polite debate or proper behavior in a social society.

I have no doubt, I just could not schedule it around work, I can make it work out if all free :D

I feel like the Box is not going to hit 100k until after 15 October 2009... :eek:

I think that is called verbal diarrhea.

The one redeeming thing about the LAS Circus Circus was the Steakhouse at one time. I havent been there in 5 years but back then it was the top rated in the country.

Abuot as long for me, but it was damn good. Getting to and from it while trying to avoid the :rolleyes: was challenging, however.

Regarding CPR / AED training - doing something is better than nothing. AEDs are almost idiot-proof and a shock with no CPR is still much, much, much better than standing around waiting the 5-10 min. for a trained :rolleyes:.

The goal is to know what to do so the AED can analyze - if someone has to sit and read directions in a crisis ...

Heh, apparently the mayor of Newark put Conan on the EWR no-fly list after a joke about Newark.

Well, according to some on FT, Conan wouldn't be able to buy an F ticket on CO anyway, so JFK is probably his airport of choice ;)

Conan belongs on the Federally mandated unfunny list.

I had great fun with this principle when we were there last month. They certainly get thrown for a loop when someone my size is on the other side of the door. Yes, people DO bounce. :D

I now have more valid reasons to visit several cities on Asia on an RTW ticket. ^

I want to go to a Red Bull and to an F1 race. My DVR cut off the last lap and a half of the SIN GP - stupid safety car delays.

Hang out in OMNI or UA much?

Steakhouse is indeed still well-regarded, even with some of the options added this decade elsewhere.

Already proven that one doesn't need a mandate to be that unfunny.

It's not so bad on the 747-400s. The upper deck is much longer, with about twice as many rows of seats. The stairs are at the back of the upper deck, with the galley and closet behind them, and the lavatories at the front of the cabin, by the cockpit door. You don't really see the galley unless you're walking to the stairs, which are in the back, not the front, of the 744 upper deck.
