what are those “magic words” of which you speak? do you mean “your response”? or do you mean “road trip”? or do you perhaps mean “beer call”?

MAEN!
Yesterday we decided to pull one over on a coworker (Alan) today. We usually have casual Fridays, so we don't wear the usual business casual. One of our group has four Hawaiian shirts, which he brought in this morning. Four of us put them on before he saw what we were wearing. After a while Alan noticed we were all wearing Hawaiian shirts. But there were five of us in on it and only four shirts, so after Alan saw each of us in the shirts, one of us gave their shirt to our other coworker to wear. Alan didn't notice that it was a shirt he'd already seen on someone else when she walked by, but he did laugh that we were all wearing the shirts. "There really must have been a memo!" He finally fully caught on to the conspiracy when 10 minutes later I walked by his cubicle in a different Hawaiian shirt than the one I was wearing earlier. We all had a good laugh.
Happy Friyay!

Morning! Happy Friyay!
Mr. Kipper is taking a bump from his flight home, so he'll arrive home later, but with a very nice voucher for AA.

Almost three days without a post? Slackers gonna slack. If we keep this pace up, nobody will post until Thorsday!
In keeping with our new designation of days in this thread, welcome to pre-pre-pre-Thorsday. Or is it Thorsday Eve Eve Eve?

my wife and I were enjoying the YVR DO ... met some new DL folks (CMK10 and angra); reconnected with monitor and frantic, as well as several AS regulars; got acquainted with most of the other ~30 attendees; and had a generally great time

Was wondering if anybody had checked prices since last night and was seeing anything unusual. I'm planning on going to LAS in early December and have been checking prices. I've been able to get a number of flights for around $400 or less, which is pretty typical out of MCO. They list around 45 choices and most are less than $500.
I have the room which I can easily change, but haven't bought the ticket. Starting around midnight last night suddenly the cheapest flight is $524 and only the first three cheapest are UNDER $900. That just isn't right. I know it will change and I usually buy about two months out going to LAS, but was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar.
