Help with upgrades!!! and other ff questions
Hello.
By now, many of you probably know, thanks to doc (who must spend all his time reading newswires to the point that you have to wonder when he has time to do any doctoring? Thanks, doc, for keeping us up on the news!), of my dilemna and the problems I had on my upgraded flight last year on US Hareways. If you haven't read about it I noticed several posts on this bulletin board about my flight including this one: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum51/HTML/000681.html
What you don't know is that I was having trouble getting an upgrade into first class, and, of course, being a famous movie and tv star, I had no intention of flying in coach. So while I was hanging around the airport, I met this woman that was flying in first class. After a few cocktails I got her to agree to disguise me as a seeing eye service pig, and she called US Hare to notify them that she would have me with her, and could not be separated from her at any time. I even had my brother, Chuck Jones, Jr, procure a doctors note for us claiming that I was required as a service "animal" (I hate that term, but, hey, anything is better than flying in coach!) and here's where she got it wrong. I know I'm handsome and slender and educated in the ways of the world (except I have this really small stutter, sorry, I can't help it) but this woman actually told US Hare that I only weigh 13 Lbs!! It was really just a few cocktails! Now, I know I've gained a few pounds over the years, but I have to tell you, the newspaper reports really exaggerated when they claimed that I weighed 150 Lbs. How insulting that was!
At any rate, you know the rest of the story.
Here's my problem. US Hare will no longer let me fly in First Class. I mean, after all those loyal years of flying it all came down to this one really stupid incident! So I now have about a gazillion dividend miles that I can't use (hint, hint, ozstamps, nudge, nudge .. can we work a gifting? I don't know you ozstamps, but I'm hoping I can stay in your house on my next vacation "down under" and pick your brains about frequent flying because, at least judging by quantity, you must be the smartest frequent flyer of all time!!! My hats off and my hoofs are up to you buddy! Keep up the great work, and remember, it isn't a topic if our friend ozstamps hasn't posted to it! Do you know when Wabbit season starts down there? I'm thinking of buying a new luxury car for my friend Daffy, will you let me charge it to my Hunters Club card so I can get points on it??? I really hope I get a good deal!)
So, I've lately been concentrating my travel in the Mileage Wuss program to the point that I finally achieved the coveted Wabbit 1 elite Level (yea! But when will I get my new card???? premex, who knows everything and everything can't even tell me!!!! Help!) and based on the advice of my friend Rudi (Gruezi Rudi!!) I often split my segments between Mileage Wuss and Lepur Hare (LH) Wabbits and More accounts. In fact, I've already attained the coveted Hunter+ level in my LH program and did you know that that's good for not 1, but 2 years!!! (Thanks for the great advice, Rudi! but I have to tell you, for some reason the chocolates don't work for me, nobody seems to want them when I offer them ... in fact, they often won't even let me into the Red Carpet room because they are really afraid that I might soil the red carpet. What do they know? .. I know how to go where I should, of course, just like anybody else, and no, I do NOT smell either!!!! I guess I will just let my membership lapse since they are raising the rates anyway, but I wonder what will happen to my lifetime membership in US Hareways club when they merge???? premex, can you tell me the answer? Please???) I've also attained "fur hat" level in the Wabbitt Inn program. For those of you that have not stayed on the Davey Crockett level, I have to tell you, it's much nicer than the ground floor rooms, and I always get upgraded to a room with an extra large mud bath and spa and huge tub .. my only complaint is that they don't supply bathrobes .. c'mon Wabbitt Inn, get a grip, will ya? (Mr. Peterson: Why is there no forum for the Wabbitt Inn on Flyertalk? I think it's the best hotel program out there for me .. they have an affinity card issued by the First National Pig Farmers Bank of Idaho that offers an incredible 10 points per dollar charged (15 when charging a stay at the Inn) and there isn't even an annual fee and they also let you double dip .. you can get both miles AND chips in this program!!!! It has to be better than any other program .. you only need about 50 nights to attain "fur hat" and they offer free stays faster than anybody!!!!! What's wrong with all you people that think Marriott is better than this program .. don't you know anything?)
So, anyway, sorry for this long message, but here's my dilemna .. I have to fly from toontown to Michigan for the Wabbit Stew convention (I'm giving the keynote talk .. ha ha!) and neither Woonited or Lepur Hare fly there in any form. Does anybody know how I can get there on a different airline (but not US Hare, of course!!!) that will recognize my status in these two programs and offer me an upgrade? Has anybody stayed at the Wabbitt Inn in Lansing? Is it any good? Do they upgrade "fur hats" automatically? I will be traveling with my friend Daffy, and I hope I can upgrade him too.
Thanks!!!!

Hey Pork Chop ... remember me?
Boy things are looking a little differently now, huh? I remember when you and your Little Pig friends were the toast of the town. Man, you guys could go anywhere. But look at you now, getting banned from first class for life. Tsk, tsk.
Me, on the other hand, well used to be everyone hated me because they thought I was after you little pigs and that chick in the red hood. Well, things have changed, Hamlet. I now enjoy the ultimate status - I am protected in various parts of the west. I now travel free - always upgraded, of course - and, what's more, they want me to reproduce like crazy. Ahh, it's a great time to be a wolf.
Anyway, my Succulent Swine, just to show there's no hard feelings, I'd love to join you on your flight and treat you to an upgrade. No one will say no if you're with me. Trust me, you'll be consumed by it all.
So what do you say, pal? Meet me at the gate? I'll be the one in the fine sheep's wool suit.
Your friend,
Big B.

I must explain that Ive been reading the boards for over a year and this is my first post. I was motivated by Mr. Beans comment. Anybody who has Porky Pigs sense of humor does have a life. Big B. Wolfs appetite for a "clean" Pig is also of good humor. Maybe Mr. Bean should look somewhere else for entertainment.....like a coffee pot....
Anyways....I was wondering if anybody seen my puddy cad Silvester?

I'm glad to see you've recovered after your stay at the Big House in San Diego after you were captured by animal control agents after our last encounter ... a couple of Penguins told me about your escape from that prison they call the "zoo" .. I'll have to pass on your generous offer on the advice of my brothers, as tempting as it may be .. and thanks for those delicious apples you sent me from Harry and David, but no, I will not pose for a picture with one in my mouth!
Tweetie:
Thank you for your kind words .. some people just don't have a sense of humor. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
