Recently flying via San Juan back to Boston, my ~5:00pm flight was delayed until ~1:30am that night. Nothing like taking the red-eye flight in the same timezone. Arriving back in my apartment sometime after 5:00am very tired, having left Tortola at noon the day before.
American Airlines wrote me an apology email and gave me 10,000 bonus miles. The airline industry must still be in the crapper.
Not the fun of burning cash, exotic fish, pipe bombs, police escorts, cavorting in the shower, fast cars or the training of a voice recognition system.
From BK Broiler, this local newspaper about a Bezerkely locale has a fun police report on Page 8.
As BK noted, “Seems like we have a new editor. The style is a lot punchier although the incidents are just as bizarre.” Admitedly, I have not kept up with recent events.
Oddly enough, Roos sneakers came up in conversation today. While I couldn’t (quickly) find a picture of any, there was an excellent reference to them in a Michigan Daily article. The excerpt:
“And you can leave behind the Brooks Brothers blazer – as far as coats go, nothing makes more of an “I’m your man” statement than a multi-colored, leather 8-ball jacket. Top off your ensemble with some slap bracelets (give one to the manager to show him that you’re “friends forever”) and some Roos sneakers (perfect for carrying business cards) and you’ll be dressed for success (as well as an early Public Enemy concert).”
Thanks to Borkware for letting me know that I started the wrong mysqld after losing my 380+ days of uptime.
This is one of the funnier SPAMs I’ve received in a long while.
It’s interesting that we’ve been directed to not buy the “new Pepsi can” … I can only assume that consuming other Pepsi products, or Pepsi in other delivery mechanisms (e.g., a non-pledge carrying 1 liter bottle) is OK.
Unfortunate for Pepsi, they have not remedied their major offense to the public: the taste of Pepsi soda. And for that, I won’t buy the new can either.
Enjoy.
”Don’t buy new the new Pepsi can.
“Pepsi has a new “patriotic” can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, “Under God.” Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone. If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our monies. Our money after all does have the words “Under God” on it.
Please pass this word to everyone you know–let your voices be heard. We want the words “Under God” to be read by every person who buys a can.
HOW FAST CAN YOU FORWARD THIS ONE?”
Just to let everyone know, I am still around. There has been an extreme amount of travel lately … and I’m about to sail from Bermuda to Tortola this Wednesday.
BK has forwarded me an excellent link to post, which I will try to do before my departure.
