Well, you are a funny feline chap! But your consideration of my airline being faulty towers over me like a - well, like a fawlty tower.

By the way, I was considering the colours red-green for the scheme of our paradise aeroplane! What do you think?

And touche, Felinemalehumanoid! You are correct about my omission of a price for paradise door to door service. My father (Ted) reminds me to say that it will cost only 99 shilling per participant. Except for the Merry Flyer chap who will be expected to pay twice the price and shall receive only half the service (as this is as he is accustomed).

So pull out that one foot in the grave and -come on - as time goes by! If I'm willing to say yes, minister and come all the way from the Brittas Empire, you should have no excuses!

Mr. Branson, if you want to continue this offer, I suggest you create another OMNI posting. We need focus focus focus people!

M-F: go scratch Mr. Branson and get back on patrol!

Ok Richard... if you come to New York and have a Pepsi with me at your Virgin cafe
on Times Square (that's where you have that too big record store) and meet with me I would say "ALLO ALLO" and give your offer some consideration. It may sound "Ab Fab" but as a cat I must carefully screen all offers.

By the way... as a member of the Possum Lodge
you'll have to clear that color scheme with
our fearless leader Red Green himself. I
think he would prefer Air Canada. CATMAN

arturo like dick branson and forward thinkin
idees. mf probably no lik heem, bbut wher arturo from, mf meen somthin els.

travelcrazy raises an important question: How many of us are making commitments based on the assumption that we control the schedule? How many have wives, "significant others", or whetever else you might want to call them who are not yet aware of this discussion and who might veto attendance?
I don't have an absolute veto from her yet, but it's close, based on other places she might want to go, like Alaska, Bermuda, Caymans (in spite of Mitch), etc. My personal belief is that it will be a blast, and I hope to be there, but (and this may apply to others) is this a one-person decision?

Arturo says he doesn't need a dictionary, but maybe roberto does.

Arturo: Since you don't need a dickshunery, what the blazes does "antipenultimate" mean? I'd guess either "first" or "last", preferring "first", but then, since you coined the word, you get to tell us what it means.

Prem Ex: I hope you didn't really mean "crack" party planning committee.

Catman and arturo: But IS futbol in Hawaii. Is called Pro Bowl. But is in Ianero, not November. If you can afford a long stay, you might be able to handle both.

All: that last post was repetitive, and it wasn't intended to be.

That is a good issue TropicalFlyer and
Philforest. In my case it's easy -- I go
alone (Holly would be too busy with T-V news
sweeps but I'm not talent in my place so I can go.)

You all have to decide what's best but maybe
I would mention this trip as soon as possible and see how the spouses/significant others
would react. WHo knows: maybe we can have
a special group for "The FlyerTalk widows and
widowers" (like the sports widows) where they can do their own thing while we have our meeting.

But we all need at least one event with EVERYONE because by marriage/relationship
they are members of the FLyerTalk community:
for letting us endulge in our little hobby.

REMEMBER: THIS POSTING IS BY A NEVER MARRIED
MAN!!! SO IT MAY NOT BE WORTH MUCH. CATMAN

Catman - I think if we were trying to convince our 'significant others' to go to the Arctic Circle in December it would be a little more difficult, but Hawaii in November isn't as hard to sell. I said 'beaches', 'warmth' and 'scantily clad members of the opposite sex' (I don't mind a little "window shopping"), then threw in 'Guy Fawkes', 'fireworks', 'bonfire' and 'beer' to top it off...

I think we'll be there.

Besides, I talk about the regulars, so my partner knows who the major players are... and is probably curious to meet them too. (Just as I would like to meet Gisela & the long-suffering Mrs Merry)

And I shared my Swiss chocolates...

filforest--en sempl terms sence penultimate mean "next to the last" you deside wat anti
adds (or subtracks from meening).

arturodome not sekon rate!

Believe me, I tried to share the H.Upmann!!!
But, as the Ol' Tom says "He will not be controlled by a {Master}, and politics are not allowed on this board". So, I just sipped and savored.

OMNI posting:

Because I have made so many friends here
when I talk about you to my other "inner circle" of friends everyone's getting more
confused. CAT people are very friendly people.

And now: THE SECOND STUPID FRIDAY QUESTION:
What in the world is an H.Uppemann? Is it
alcohol or a cigar? It must be special for
Jaws to post that PG13 posting about how enjoyable it is.

It's probably something I'm allergic to.
BUT JAWS43... if it brought you enjoyment you more than well deserve it. We all probably have our own H.Uppemann type of enjoyments. For me its Dr. Pepper. CATMAN
