On to Kryptonium
My carefully crafted plan was to roll over 49,174 miles and make the leap to Diamond by late spring. Figured given my travel patterns I could make Diamond 2 out of three years with a Plat status in between. But the best laid plans . . . A sudden unexpected burst of activity and voila, as of today I reached the coveted Diamond status. Not much to rollover, however so I may be an MR king by this time next year to keep status. And now I have my sights set on KM, though I'm not clear on the qualifications. Could somebody please bring me up to speed? I look forward to the imaginative and witty explanations!

First Rule of KM - you do not talk about KM.

Second Rule of KM, you must ask TH.

Third Rule - If you don't know who TH is, you don't deserve KM.

Hate to disappoint you --but you wrote TH. TH is "The Duke of Bombay" and quite possibly "The Most Interesting Man in the Delta Universe."
BUT
The Ultimate Source for all things Kryptonium and "The Most Mysterious Man in the Delta Universe" has the initials "BR"

Just saying...

I can see a new website coming soon...
"I Can Has Ham Sammiches?"

- a weblog featuring announcements or images of Skymiles enhancements and other PR blunders, paired with captions for humor value.

But, for some odd reason, not available in Israel.

It is replaced here by chopped liver.

I thought Ham Sammich was what we called Thomas Hudson when he is in a middle seat.

IF DL decides you qualify, you should receive an email from Richard Anderson inviting you into KM status soon (search the KM thread for more details).

Congrats on DM.
