First off, is there an official categorization for the pun ratings, or, is it (as I suspect) like voting at the Miss America Pagent?

Secondly, cannot wait for DST to end this weekend. Now I have 2 things that wake me up at 6am, Pumpkin gnawing on his Himalayan Chew and daylight streaming in my window. I won't bite like Howste, but I get awfully grumpy (and easily distracted) if I don't get a full night's sleep.

I used international WiFi. I read my Facebook and I texts to my friends on WhatsApp. That was so cool! I already pay international WiFi on my flight.
Have a great trip Scotty! I'm also flying American Airlines and British Airways soon including the American Airlines 777-300ER from LHR-JFK. I've never flown British Airways, so my first flight with them will be Budapest to London.

I believe groans are the most highly sought-after of all categories.

I'm not looking forward to losing an hour of sleep, especially because we'll arrive home late Saturday after our two-day Texas to Pennsylvania drive.

I am once again cleverly solving this problem by being in a jurisdiction that does not observe DST so the transition will be a no-op for me -- worst case I was going to be jetlagged anyway upon my eventual return to the US

That might be my fault:

But you'll have a new car and won't want to sleep.

Thanks!! I really appreciate it! As you know British Airways aircraft, but the legroom is too tight. It was so terrible. I hurts with my knees. I got a bad knees. I dislike it at all.

You, sir, are correct. Tho if I can train Pumpkin to fetch a snowball without crushing it (how he did this yesterday is beyond comprehension), perhaps there is hope for Howste?

I kid. I like folks with bite. Shows conviction.

Carry on...

No, if I'm not driving, being in a car causes me to want to sleep.
