Is anyone awake? I have a question. How large (25? 28?) would be a good piece of luggage for business travel one week at a time? - Truman Nov 3, 05:47 7
- A rolling carry on. - spamlet Nov 3, 06:03 6
  - I pretty much always check, liquids and razors kill me. the wait is usually only a few minutes, and I have priority bag tags. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 06:16 1
    - I use electric so I don't have that problem. I mainly travel outside the US and like having the comfort of having my stuff with me. - spamlet Nov 3, 06:22
  - this, no waiting at baggage pickup then at airports either -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 06:04 3
    - As someone that travels fairly often I'll disagree with this. Carry-on baggage is a pain in the ass. Dragging it around the airport. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 06:09 2
      - agreed. I check everything but my small camera bag backpack. I hate lugging crap and the wait for baggage is nothing -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 06:24
      - just my personality I guess :) I'd rather deal with all that than have to wait for my bags at the end of a flight -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 06:13
Break up the 76ers!!!!!!!!! -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 05:32 2

- Don't worry owners, I'm on it. Now, what type of defense do we play again? - Peyton Manning Nov 3, 05:27 2
  - You don't. -- nm - spamlet Nov 3, 06:04 1
    - So, 5 TDs it is then. Also, I might throw in a naked bootleg for a 6th just to keep the defenses honest. -- nm - Peyton Manning Nov 3, 06:09

Ah yes... the 4:30 am smoke alarm is gonna beep for no reason so fuck you wake-up call. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 04:47

I'm not surprised by FSU's win over Tha U, but the point spread they annihilated was eyebrow raising. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 04:43 5
- not for me. I follow FL football pretty closely and was expecting a paper tiger Miami team going up against a serious contender. -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 04:59 3
  - yeah-you expect a 7 team to do better. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 06:19
  - Yeah, I think FSU is back; and Miami looks like they're close but not there this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 05:07
  - of course, it's easy for me to say that hindsight, heh. I mean, I wanted really badly for Miami to win. -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 05:01

    - There were drawings of art in Playboy? -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 23:40 1
      - Hef claimed 1/3 ownership of Little Annie Fanny & screwed Harvey Kurtzman & Bill Elder over lots of money, original art returns, etc. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 01:20
    - His daughter that took over was even worse, most of the photogs quit because the new contracts put them on work for hire basis - Hugh Heffner Nov 2, 23:39
Castle. NCIS. Hawaii 5-0. Backlogged 2 episodes each, but instead I'm watching The Human Target. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 22:51 2

I saw Cecily Tyson like 1.5 years ago at Second City. Crazy that she is on SNL now. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 21:17 8
- laughing -- nm - diva Nov 3, 03:59
- Isn't Second City (plus the Groundlings) essentially AAA with the only logical next step SNL? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 2, 22:14 2
  - In a way. More Second City folks make it than average, but it is still a scant minority. - ty97 Nov 2, 22:34 1
    - Oh, I get that it's still a low percentage play for most performers, but I always think the unlikely play is... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 2, 22:57
