  1. Was wondering when this was going to happen. London made a lot of sense for BA/OneWorld. Frankfurt made a lot of sense for Lufthansa/Star Alliance. The one that makes the most sense for SkyTeam is KLM to Amsterdam, especially with Delta making an investment in Austin. Been thinking for a year this was going to happen. Exciting to see.
  2. I love how she throws in "if they could take care of the kids that would be great". Uh, lady, you're looking for a Polish nanny that will also clean your house. I don't think you just leave the kids with the housekeeper. Well, maybe Polish ones you do. But who has ever heard of a Polish housekeeper?
  3. This guy is going to end up on the wrong end of a Houston Chronicle obituary soon. I just hope he has enough sense to not harm anyone else on his way out. Oh, and also that he is stupid enough to shine a light on Aggy violations. The other thing I can't help but notice, and this is a little CL, is the comment of disbelief that someone can be a Christian and a liberal. Not worth more comments here, but Jesus this guy is a perfect parody of Aggy.
  4. Hopefully less than the XOM stock I bought a couple of weeks ago at close to 10 year lows
  5. Agreed, but the thing about that trip is that the trains depart and arrive in town, and there really good public transit to get you to your final destination. CDG and Heathrow are complete pain in the asses to get to, and in the middle of nowhere, so putting up with airport-level security is tolerable because ultimately it saves time. It'll be interesting to see how this works, if it ever becomes reality. It basically becomes a slightly more convenient option than flying, depending on where you are coming and going. But with population growth where it is, this seems like a good plan for the future.
  6. John Wick Chapter 4: The Days Inn Chronicles
  7. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels zero guilt about cranking Eddie Money from time to time. RIP
  8. My list would change based on my mood. Sometimes I just want to laugh for 90 minutes. Sometimes I want to sit and watch a heavy movie for 150 min and eat popcorn and drink beer. I could categorize into 3 main genres, with no particular order for the movies in them, Comedy: Naked Gun, 3 Amigos, Animal House, Coming to America, Tommy Boy Drama: Godfather 1 and 2, Shawshank, Scent of a Woman, Field of Dreams, Usual Suspects Action: Raiders, Episodes 4 and 5, Red October, Beverly Hills Cop, Shooter (I have no idea why I love this movie so much but I can't stop watching when it comes on)
  9. LOL. Bugs Bunny he is not.
  10. i kept waiting for the dog to mount the goat. I am disappoint
  11. Yep. This is the song I've told my wife to play after I die. I don't want a funeral. Cremate me, then play this song once and swear to remember it every day.
  12. Which boat company did you use for the private tour around Capri? I think there's as many tour companies as there are hotels.
  13. The top was cut off to get the driver out. It wasn't decapitated in the wreck
  14. 1. I don't get it. What am I missing? That's Mike in the visor, right? What's funny about a picture of him looking at a guy to his right? 2. Are analysts really allowed on the field during the game? That seems like coaching.
  15. Now you know how the fish feels motherfucker
  16. I'll never understand why more restaurants don't have biscuits as the bread for benedicts, especially in the south. I make the sub everytime I order, and I get looked at like I'm crazy. "Umm, I'll have to ask the chef if he'll do that."
  17. I had the same thought this morning when I saw the score. I thought to myself he won't make it to game 6. But does firing him mid-season do anything for your program? Who off his bumble-fuck of a staff do you appoint as the interim coach? I think they ride it out.
  18. "Any recommendations for travel to Airport from xxxx(my neighborhood). Thanks" I recommended a helicopter
  19. And the call on the field is confirmed.
  20. Isn't that called a chimichanga? Or are you trying to impress upon us that you did the frying?
  21. God damnit that one got me pretty good.
  22. Change of plans. Looks like we're going to head south from Rome and go to the Amalfi Coast. We'll hike Path of the Gods, probably a boat tour of either the coast or Capri one day, I'd like to take a day trip to Pompei, and also just explore the region.
  23. What do you do at these villages? Just walk around and take it in? Are there restaurants to have a glass...err bottle...of wine?
  24. I will be in Rome Sept. 17-19 for work (Tues-Thurs). The original plan was to meet my wife in Geneva on Friday and tour whatever we could in Switzerland in 5 days and return home on Thurs. The rub was I have other work obligations on Sun and Mon, including a private underground tour of the LHC at CERN. So the trip would have been a little broken up. For a variety of reasons, I've decided to bow out of the Sunday and Monday stuff and my wife and I are now considering her meeting me in Rome and us driving up the west coast and settle in Tuscany for 4-5 days. 1. Any must stop places along the way? 2. The number of choices of places to stay in Tuscany is overwhelming. I think it would be fun to stay in a farmhouse, and I'm exclusively looking at those. 3. Undecided on if staying close to one of the more well known places like Siena is a good thing, or should we stay in the middle of complete nowhere that is still 30-45 minutes from some of the more famous towns as well as the beach.
