Fuck planes

Now they say if we even make it to new jersey tonight, we will miss
our flight by 16 minutes. Which means we just paid $100 for a room on
vegas we will never be in and we can pay $100+ for a room in new
jersey we never wanted to be in.

Why the fuck are we flying east to go west in the first place?

I think the airlines are liable to pay your hotel costs if you miss your connection. It's not your fault so why should you pay for it?

Cleveland, Albany and Boston are also listed as Delayed.

Just one of the gajillion reasons i hate flying. Hope you make it there before you have to come back. :O)

there were tornado warnings for NYC. i would think that might have had something to do with those cancellations and delays.

tiburon1724 - 08/15/08 22:24
my personal rule is to never fly anyone other than Southwest. I've never had a problem (knock on wood; I'll be in Orlando for 3 days next week)

this is why you should always buy travelers insurance.

I'm sorry, I thought you lived in Buffalo... those in San Diego might be afraid of a few thunderclouds, not buffalonians...hm. I do see a bit of blue sky in there. not scary at all. chump

that's not our plane, just another plane we might be able to fly standby on if some people don't show up. Our real flight is at10:05.

Engrish.com - time to laugh
Category: funny

I think I might have found one of the funniest site ever - Engrish.com

I don't know what makes Asian's mistranslating into english so funny - but it is. I think it is a combination of wrong word selection and not understad the cultural signifiance of certain words. ANyways - it cracks me up so much.

So here are some of my favorites from the signs/posters section

Hope they don't have one of these signs at the airport today, lol.

If only we had a picture of (e:lilho) and (e:hodown) here

I would definately rather eat squirrel than anything that looks like it: e.g. rat?

How do you enforce this?

Serioulsy is this dog flavored ice cream?

Also for (e:lilho)

Golden Chopsticks: 4 chicken finger, remember?

Simplify Media
Category: mobile

I install Simplify Media

on my iphone 3g. It lets you listen to your itunes library from anywhere in the world via your phone. Not only does it let you surf and stream your library, it displays lyrics as any good music player should. All the linux ones do, the one for my not phone does. I always wondered why the iphone or itunes itself does not. This is what apple should have done a long time ago. It is awesome and free for the first 100,000 downloads.
