For ty97, here's my next week of travel: DCA-BNA-DCA, DCA-BHM-IAH-SFO-DCA. Split AA and United. Gold on AA, Silver on United. -- nm - MDH May 16, 08:14 2
- That second trip seems a bit convoluted -- nm - JD May 16, 08:20 1
  - Flying to BHM, giving a speech at a conference, then back on the plane 3 hours later and have to be in SFO for meetings. -- nm - MDH May 16, 08:25

Interesting Draft Lottery subplot: The Kings 'lost' a coin toss with the Bulls and got their spot. That spot won the 2nd pick. - volnelk May 16, 08:00 5
- Never heard this before -- the Cavaliers lost a coin flip that ended up being the #1 pick in 2012. THey drafted #1 in 2011, 2013, and 2014. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud May 16, 08:09
- Any frozen ping pong balls this time? -- nm - Baron Breynolds May 16, 08:03 2
  - No, but apparently fans aren't the only ones that have conspiracies. Owners complained that double digit numbers would weigh more and change the odds - volnelk May 16, 08:07 1
    - They should use the same number on all the balls so they all weigh the same. -- nm - Baron Breynolds May 16, 08:17
- And Atlanta lost their coin flip with Dallas, but then won the 3 pick from that spot. -- nm - volnelk May 16, 08:01

  - I ain't saying she's wrong, she's lying about expecting it. -- nm - mud May 16, 07:45
I just had the best PoGo morning. I was annoyed at having to bring N to school this morning (he was being a pip and missed the bus), until I realized - kelly May 16, 07:15 8
- I have the same quest. I am 0/10. I also have to catch a Ditto which I did a few weeks ago so bummer -- nm - just oblique May 16, 07:22 6
  - For the Ditto - since they initiated that quest, they do spawn more frequently and in more Pokemon. - Johnny Lawrence May 16, 07:34 5
    - It took me 3 days to find a Ditto. It was never that easy to find one! -- nm - kelly May 16, 07:51 3
      - hmmm...I guess I'm pretty lucky then. I've found several Dittos since this quest has been out there. nm - Johnny Lawrence May 16, 07:55 1
        
        Oh, I haven't really bothered catching any of the possible Ditto pokemon since then. During that mission, though, I was catching anything I could. - kelly May 16, 08:14
      - I've decided all these PoGo posts are an attempt by some STers to gaslight me, making up words 'n stuff. -- nm - mud May 16, 07:55

PoGo question - do y'all see many Koffings and/or Wheezings around? - Johnny Lawrence May 16, 07:09 2
- I see them every few days. They’re not as rare in my neck of the woods as they used to be. -- nm - kelly May 16, 07:10 1
  - It's crazy...on my way to work this morning, I saw at least 5 Koffing's in a 2 block span. nm - Johnny Lawrence May 16, 07:20

I missed that NBC cancelled Rise. We really enjoyed that show. -- nm - just oblique May 16, 06:56 6
- I liked it too. I honestly think having the main character (the teacher be so unlikeable killed the show. :-( -- nm - MDH May 16, 07:43
- If you have not heard, just assume your show has been canceled. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God May 16, 07:15 1

  - I get email updates almost every other day when they add "new" arrivals. -- nm - Shaun May 16, 07:20 12
    - they are nearing going full plaid...... - groiny May 16, 07:23 11
      - You know you don't *have* to have all of them... -- nm - Reagen May 16, 07:30 10

If only any previous interactions with North Korea could have predicted this turn of events. -- nm - Reagen May 16, 06:24 2

  - And then there's the North Koreans. -- nm - TWuG May 16, 07:23

  - This would probably actually work. -- nm - volnelk May 16, 07:18

  - 2 is the only one that is bad, even if I don't think I could tell you more than the most basic plot points from any of them. -- nm - Reagen May 16, 05:42 16
    - I'd suggest that even though 2 stands out as bad compared to the rest of the franchise... - Johnny Lawrence May 16, 07:10 3
      - Hmmm... comparing it to action/heist moves of the time... - Roger More May 16, 07:33 1
        
        It doesn't make my top 15 out of that list. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud May 16, 07:39

        original Wolverine! -- nm - Beaker May 16, 06:55
    - I don't like #1 either; the only part that I like is the real world stunt stuff of the server room - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud May 16, 05:59
    - Yeah. They have all veered away from the original material, but there's no better action franchise in the world today. (NM) - Marlowe May 16, 05:53 1
      - This is correct. -- nm - Shaun May 16, 06:12
