Meg, this itinerary is showing at $634US for me. -- (link*) - Andie Apr 5, 03:17 1
- Thanks. That's the kind of thing I was looking at - although that's a little early out of Halifax. - Meg Apr 5, 08:11
Geez---Ahmad Rashad---still has his head up MJ's ass. -- (link) - Flavorize Apr 5, 00:18 1
- Man, MJ's put on a lot of weight. I can barely recognize him. -- nm* - nic to be determined Apr 5, 01:13
one week to kimmay -- (link) - the brain Apr 4, 23:02 1
- yeah! -- nm* - prayformojo Apr 5, 03:43
Two. That's how many friends of mine announced today that they were getting married. Today. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 22:54 3
- to each other? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 22:56 2
  - If only it were that easy! But, NO! All my friends are getting married... -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 23:14 1
    - to each other? mass wedding! -- nm - mafic Apr 4, 23:41
So... did the Padres leave their a-team at Spring Training? -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 22:40
Mel is back -- (link) - the brain Apr 4, 22:32 [youtube]
Bery, there's a quirk of the submission form that really bugs me on tablets. - Mop Apr 4, 21:44 7
- If I turn my phone/tablet horizontally, left/right keys pop up on the keyboard. I use those to get to the end of the text or to edit. -- nm - kelly Apr 4, 21:57
- It's an iOS thing. It annoys me too - I don't know what broke it. Used to work properly. maybe 9.3 fixes it? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:45 5
  - The easy solution would be making it a textarea like on the edit form, but that's rather fugly. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:45 4
    - That seems like a reasonable compromise. We have a huge subject line field. Might as well see it all before we hit submit. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:48 3
      - Textareas do not support "press enter to submit" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:52 2
        
        Tim Berners-Lee, why do you forsake me?! -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:58 1
        
        I might try an alternative input style on Beta to try and overcome this -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 22:58
Meg. the first few of these have stops in Calgary or Montreal -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 4, 21:43 4
- I picked randon dates just to get an idea of who flies. AC looks to be the best option -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 4, 21:45 3
  - There would be all kinds of options if it were a simple round trip. It's the Toronto stopover that complicates things. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 21:56 2
    - not Orlando? -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 4, 22:03 1
      - No, I want to stop in Toronto, Orlando notsomuch. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 22:10
walking dead was probably the wrong choice for this evening ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:41 1
- Actually it's turning out to have been a better choice than better call Saul (the episode seems good, it's just hitting some of my anxieties right now -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 23:21
Good God. I saw the new Lexus grill today. What a monstrosity. And it's inherited from the new Toyotas which also suffer from it. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:41 5
- You mean this one? -- (link) - Meg Apr 4, 21:58 [Backboard] 2
  - A lot of cars feature that mega mouth shark/whale look -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 4, 22:49
  - Yup. I just saw one in the wild today. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 22:00
- The new 2017 Lexus RX is 12" longer than the 2016 model... all grill. -- nm - Motorweek Apr 4, 21:46
- Yeah, it's getting pretty obnoxious. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:43
Heh, was wondering how people could spend their evenings watching fake brawls on TV - then I realized I'm - Meg Apr 4, 21:31 4
- But that's real. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 4, 21:41 3
  - At least the night-time IR video isn't in living color :) -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 21:45 2
    - sigh, the little one doesn't seem like it will survive much longer -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 4, 22:52 1
      - Guess that's often the case. OTOH it is over a week younger than the oldest and Mom takes care of it at feeding time. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 22:55
Archi is the MOP? 😄 -- nm - JD Apr 4, 21:27 1
- ? -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:28
Oh. Hey...that one might have been for David. The buzzer beating shot was taken and it wasn't the defense preventing the attempt -- nm - JD Apr 4, 21:09 2
- ☺️ In the context of the tournament: Most Outstanding Player but for you Most Outstanding Poster? -- nm* - JD Apr 4, 21:38 1
  - Er, and showing that I still haven't figured out replying...this was supposed to be a thread above -- nm - JD Apr 4, 21:39
Trying to figure a multi-city flight itinerary is a pain. So far it looks like Air Canada for the win. - Meg Apr 4, 21:07 12
- Once you're inside Canada, you're kinda damned. If you can't get a cheaper fair from Westjet, try flying through the U.S. - Mop Apr 4, 21:38 3
  - I can get direct Toronto-Halifax on Westjet and Air Canada. Just can't tie it in to an AA booking. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 21:42 2
    - air canada would work with united only. WJ will do things with AA, but maybe not Halifax? -- nm - mafic Apr 4, 22:21
    - Yup. Once inside the country, you're on Air Canada. Just like you can't fly New York to Los Angeles on Air Canada. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:49
- Air Canada is never the right choice, unless you have more money than God. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:30 3
  - last couple times I've flown internally they've actually been about the same as WJ. works as long as you're not going too far off the beaten track. -- nm - mafic Apr 4, 22:13 1
    - I can do the whole trip on A.C. for about $700 compared with the $900 I've seen for other carriers. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 22:24
  - So far they're coming in cheaper than anyone else - although I do see they charge for seat assignments. -- nm - Meg Apr 4, 21:40
- what's 4000 miles between friends? -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 21:15
- Before or after Toronto? -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 4, 21:09 2
  - After. L.A. to Toronto for the weekend, then on to Halifax for the rest of the week. Then back to L.A. - Meg Apr 4, 21:18 1
    - New Leaf will, I hope, be flying by then. But it is a budget carrier, so it is hard to say what total fee with bags, etc, would be. -- nm* - Andie Apr 5, 03:06
*tears streaming down cheeks* -- nm - Cryin Jordan Apr 4, 21:07
Sami Zayn injured at Raw. -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 21:06 4
- Hurt his arm on the table. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 21:23
- They wouldn't put him through a table if he were. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 4, 21:14 1
  - He'll do what we tell him! -- nm - WWE Apr 4, 21:15
- no no no please no -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 21:10
Siri, play Jeremih -- nm - Dano Apr 4, 21:03
Did something happen to Matthew Perry? He's on Colbert and he honestly seems like he might have had a stroke at some point. - pmb Apr 4, 20:58 2
- Apparently people have been wondering this since January. It could just be alcohol/drug problems, though. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 21:02 1
  - And yet he's keeping on the weight. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 21:29
YAAAAS! -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:52
That right there? That is a good looking ladder. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:49
2016 is shaping up to be the best year ever. Evah!!! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 4, 20:45 1
- Yep. -- nm - Death Apr 4, 21:31
Apparently this Swiss Army Man trailer was published today and not posted to ST ... -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 4, 20:45 [youtube] 4
- Why do you hate ty? -- nm - Dano Apr 4, 20:47 2
  - In my defense, there were a LOT of links posted today, and not all of them were wraistlin' ones -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 20:48 1
    - and I was still asleep at 7:11 -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 20:49
- (aka "the one with the farting corpse") -- nm - Beryllium Apr 4, 20:45
Teams I rooted for. Michigan State, Oregon, Oklahoma, North Carolina....all dead....dead dead dead -- nm* - Bacon Apr 4, 20:38 6
- Man. My group has made money off me (and I got free dinners / drinks in consolation from group) by betting against me. But you.... - JD Apr 4, 20:42
- I think I am missing a couple. Oh Gonzaga, dead -- nm* - Bacon Apr 4, 20:39 4
  - Kansas you bastard. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 21:07 3
    - Oh yes, how could I forget. Oh and, Go Yankees!!!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 21:29
    - *quiet bittersweet laughing* - JD Apr 4, 21:12
    - Seeing Roy Williams lose tonight was like seeing Kansas loose again. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 21:11
"We looking for, like, a gangsta pet." -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:35
The Cubs are opening agsinst the Angels? #3456742 of why I hate Selig. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 4, 20:32 2
- He retired. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:34 1
  - Doesn't stop me hating him for various reasons. -- nm* - nic to be determined Apr 4, 21:39
The ball is tipped, and there you are. You're running for your life! You're a shooting star. - David Apr 4, 20:30 6
- I love this sport so much. Great tournament and finals. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 21:06
- I hope you are watching on the right channel. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:32 4
  - I'm watching on all the channels. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:34 2
    - Remember, TBS to air Luther Vandross' NCAA closer; Ne-Yo version on TNT, TruTV. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:36 1
      - All three channels recording. You can watch Brendan Haywood talking through the pain right now. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:37
  - think of those poor saps who watched basedball tonight instead. -- nm - colin Apr 4, 20:33
Amazing game. -- nm - decline Apr 4, 20:30

- 8-P -- nm - JD Apr 4, 20:30
If that had been late, confetti guy would have a lot of explaining to do. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 20:29 1
- I don't make mistakes. -- nm - Confetti Guy Apr 4, 20:29
Holy shit. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 20:28
Wow -- nm - pmb Apr 4, 20:28 1

Not exactly textbook form...but can't argue with end result -- nm - JD Apr 4, 20:26
You could give him 50 shots. He couldn't do that again. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:25
wow -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:25 1
- x2 -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 20:28
If you're not watching the title game, now is a good time to turn it on. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:21 3

  - "Hello? Yes, we've found a new rock bottom." -- nm - Gambler's Anonymous Apr 4, 20:19 2
    - You can bet in the UK and, unsurprisingly, sometimes odds swing wildly in one direction in the last couple hours before a big event. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 20:20 1
      - "Yes, that's another bet from ... Mince... VicMan." -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 20:31

Jericho looks his age in this. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 20:01 11
- he's lost a step. -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 20:05
- His performance last night was Dawn of Justice-ish. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:03 8
  - He just looks slower and less dynamic which isn't a shock given he's 45 or so. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 20:05 7
    - he's gotta drop that gut. -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 20:20 2
      - My guess is that he's only here since everybody else is injured. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:36 1
        
        oh god yes. that and to work with AJ and have a real story. He's been on the live circuit because that's where he has fun -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 20:41
    - He was missing some easy moves. It's strange since Styles and him had worked together for several weeks. -- nm - David Apr 4, 20:06 3
      - This is a great match. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 4, 20:07 2
        
        Yeah this is awesome. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 20:08
        
        yup. -- nm - Remlik Apr 4, 20:08

Still not convinced Camp WWE is a real thing. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 19:59 1

Burger King now has a red bun Whopper called the Angriest Whopper. -- nm - Mop Apr 4, 19:55 1

I just like saying "Archidiacano" -- nm - Dano Apr 4, 19:53
That's okay, too. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 19:51 3
- This might be the least star-laden show ever. - Will Hunting Apr 4, 19:52 1
  - All the injuries exposed how bad they are at building stars. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 20:02
- He took lessons from The Rock. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 19:51
I just dusted my computer table... -- nm - amoxy Apr 4, 19:50
