A thread to talk about random VFTW stuff.
VFTW is one of the few blogs that I still read on a semi-regular basis (along with Wandering Aramean). Here is a thread to talk about random stuff from that blog.
Starting with this:
There are some things I love about this blog and some things I hate.
But, far and away, my favorite thing are the bathroom pajama selfies, and I was inspired to start this thread after seeing this today:
Here is one from the archives:
It really doesn't get any better than this. ^

Koko, with all respect to you, this and the OMAAT thread you started strikes me as gossipy and mean-spirited. What's the motivation for this and how does it benefit FlyerTalk and its members?

Uh oh. I was forwarded a link to the following photo along with this note 'VFTW did not innovate with airplane bathroom PJ selfies, it followed The Points Guy.'
From what I can tell from Mr. Google, TPG's selfie is from April 2012 while VFTW's first selfie is from December 2012.
Oh well. Whoever invented the airplane bathroom PJ selfie, I still say VFTW does it best!

The reason our forum Ambassador opened a new thread was a behind the scenes discussion between the two of us. Posts about VFTW and OMMAT blog entries had taken over a few threads in the EM&PR forum and we were looking to split them off to keep those threads on topic. I'm a little busy with my day job (that feeds my family), so I did the barebones moderation, and will clean up the remaining personal comment in the remaining week.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding

I have seen other bloggers have fun with one of VFTW's pajama selfies. Probably won't be the last one we see...
