TX GOP Governor debate this evening. The women candidates tag-teamed on railing against the incumbent. He tried to defend himself. Not workin'. The dems debate next week. The primaries are in March.

What are your thoughts on Kinky Friedman?

Been a :rolleyes: night on the ambulance. I knew my shift was fixin' to interesting when my first call of the evening came across as:

"respond to so and so address for a party with a phone stuck in their throat." :eek:

I'm not even going to ask. :D

Wait. What? You drink? :eek:

We have a famous person in our mix. :cool:

So, I met a young attorney through a friend of a friend. She was on my flight going to MCO last Sunday. During the week, we became friends (although she knows about the lovely Lisa) and realized that she was on the same flight home.

Today, we arrived at the airport, and I had her come to the window so we could merge record locators. I got her luggage fees waived and got her row 9 on 757 (I was up front).

Then, we went through security -- among the decisions made -- Me: "no, not that line because the guy has 2 bottles of water in his carry on bag; I can just tell"

Young attorney had not seen "Up in the Air"... Nonetheless, I feel like George Clooney tonight! :D

I occasionally dabble in the liquid enjoyment. ;)

That's just it - I am not being permitted to create a groove. Apparently in her mind, the couch is showing wear after owning it for less than three months. I sat on the prohibited section to reach for my laptop under the coffee table and you'd think I set off a security system or something. I know that I've been told to not sit there, thank you very much. Rather than bark at me, why not wait a damn minute and see if I move without being reminded?

Someone new to add to the "Celebrity Sightings" thread :-:

What's my compensation if Trustguy isn't actually seen?

It wasn't a phone, it was a bone. From the Chinese short-ribs the person was eating.

But, apparently when you're choking "bone" sounds like "phone" to a dispatcher. :-::rolleyes::-:

I was there already for the "John Larroquette Show" as a guy in the bus station bar. I turned down Baywatch several weeks later. :confused:

Speaking of which, I haven't referenced Arrested Development, to the confusion of everyone, for a while.

Is it too early to start planning the Arrested Development movie premiere Do?
