What is that dog holding in its mouth? A giant extendable leash?

Would you pay $5 to cuddle a bunny for three minutes? Some outfit is offering emotional support bunnies for rent. The good news is that it would cost a lot to borrow one long enough for a flight.

Class started yesterday, and I already got my best excuse of the term:
"Good afternoon, I apologize for missing class today. I wanted to inform you that I will not be able to attend class at all this week as I am stuck outside of the country because my original flight got canceled and I could not find another one earlier than January 12th. Looking forward to attending class next week!"
This was my response:
"No excuses are necessary, that said, I travel frequently and I know that your claim about flights isn't true. There is no airline/codeshare that fits the description you provide. Attendance is mandatory, but not directly graded, and, as such, you don't need to provide an excuse "another one earlier than January 12th" is either an exaggeration or a lie, please keep that in mind, and let this be a lesson.
Now, if you provide the information about your original flight: Airline, Date, and flight number, I may be able to suggest what your other alternatives are."
Any bets on what is going to happen?
I'm about 40% I get the flight information
10% Nothing happens
50% the student drops

Quick question . . . .
I have two $200 ECVs in my account that are expiring at the end of January. I believe these are the Choice Benefits that I selected last year - 1 PM & 1 DM. Can I use them toward the same ticket?
Don't we hava "Quick Question" thread? . . . . .
. . . . . Oh, wait a minute.

Someone tried to create one, but it got ruined when certain people turned it into a joke thread
IMO it was a great idea and good resource that the UA and AS forums have (just to name the that I'm familiar with) and I feel like a judicious warning and curating of posts from the mods could have rehabilitated the thread, but they decided to simply lock it, so, can't have nice things

I'm both frustrated and amused.
