here you go, google news search for airport christmas travel stories. Note the december trends. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 15, 13:23 3
- I'm not doubting December travel is up (that's obvious) nor am I disputing December resort/holiday trips are popular (not familiar with that realm) - ty97 Sep 15, 13:26 2
  - there are 51 weeks a year for people to book a cruise that doesn't involve christmas, they just need one cruises worth of people that do. - Andie Sep 15, 13:29

heh Leningrad Cowboys .....at credits in a movie -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:21
Swift was all alone from her genre in the voting...that's how she won Female Video of the Year. - Jim Sep 15, 13:10 20
- Katy Perry stills wins hottest. She is stacked! -- nm - Shaun Sep 15, 13:12 12
  - Link? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:14 4
    - Just search ST for David going ga-ga. -- nm - Spawn Sep 15, 13:16
    - Honestly? You don't know what she looks like? -- nm - Shaun Sep 15, 13:14 2
      - Hey, I didn't make up the link rule :-P - con_carne Sep 15, 13:16 1
        
        Nicely done :) -- nm - Shaun Sep 15, 13:16
  - yes. - groiny Sep 15, 13:12 6

        Hello Sister Christian. she's former Christian "musician". -- nm - lileve Sep 15, 13:20
        
        VNB! -- nm - Spawn Sep 15, 13:18
      - yes. - groiny Sep 15, 13:14
- Though "You Belong With Me" is really a pop song in disguise (and one of the year's better songs, really) -- nm - Tim Sep 15, 13:11 6
  - [deleted] 4
    - This happens so many times with artists I see on TV. I think they are regular rock or pop, and then the singer busts out with a twang. - con_carne Sep 15, 13:21
    - well, they pop'd it out quite a bit for mainstream radio. - groiny Sep 15, 13:20
    - so much of the distinction between pop and country is entirely contained in that twang anymore. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:20 1
      - or even just the label. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:21
  - Sure...but it has that country crossover, thus garnering all of those votes. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 13:12
Thing I am realizing: I have *way* too many entertainment options in my life. - TFox Sep 15, 13:10 26
- I know what you mean. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 13:15
- plus an opportunity to see U2, I'm jealous -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 13:14 11
  - a maybe, and really, with all these other options, you can see why i hesitate. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:14 10
    - compared to U2???? hell no - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:18 5
      - yes, if its "free", i'm going. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:19 4
        
        was it not? - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:22 3
        
        it might be. the kid would obviously prefer to get his money back, but he may not find a taker. - TFox Sep 15, 13:24
        
        He may have to pay for parking. - Spawn Sep 15, 13:23 1
        
        and T-shirts :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:24
    - Not really. -- nm - Spawn Sep 15, 13:16
    - to be totally honest, if the ticket costs an arm and a leg, I'd hesitate too -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 13:16 2
      - at face value, it's going to cost me like $150 at least to take SheFox to the show, and sit at the ass end of the stadium. No way. - TFox Sep 15, 13:18 1
        
        you have so many great excuses even if you decide to go it won't be fun - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:20
- answer: Unplug and do a drawing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:12 4
  - I can't draw for shit, but I did forget stuff. Write some more. Work on beats on the computer. Go see a friend occasionally. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:13 1
    - exactly. Choose not to consume! -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:14
  - call it, stick people jamming. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:13
  - Answer: undrawer and do some plugging -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:13
- Take this opportunity to turn off the cable. Save $$! -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:12 1
  - Let's not go overboard. I dropped my Netflix sub down a disc. Baby steps. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:12
- somewhat related, it seems unfathomable that i used to have 6-7 hours of free time in the evening - prayformojo Sep 15, 13:12
- just jerk off and call it a night. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:11 3
  - I'll take "What Mrs Groiny tell Mr Groiny every night for $200, Alex" -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:13 2
    - yeah, but then she wakes up with a glazed forehead. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:14 1
      - That weird vomit thing you have going on should be checked by a doctor. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:15

- the ships has to move REAL fast West consistanly for that to happen - Danedukenuuk Sep 15, 13:11
- Just declare it Happy Hour. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 13:10
- The round the world cruise? It seems to spend a lot of time going up and down the cost of the South America. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:10
so Lady GaGa is a strange bird. I also have seen her look real good and also REAL bad..... - groiny Sep 15, 13:07 7
- that a dude. -- nm - Caster Semanya Sep 15, 13:09
- But when she looks really good, she is still a dude. -- nm - Dalton Sep 15, 13:08 2
  - no seriously. In the Poker Face video, there are shots where she looks doable.... - groiny Sep 15, 13:10 1
    - What I am saying, is she is always a dude. - Spawn Sep 15, 13:15
- You became gay so slowly, I almost didn't notice -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 13:08 2
  - because you were too busy sucking me off. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:09 1
    - Happy Meal! -- nm - Kilbo Sep 15, 13:10
ty - lots of people specifically go away *for* Christmas. - Andie Sep 15, 13:06 28
- [deleted]
- I would feel guilty about making all that staff work through the holiday. Unless I know they are all Godless heathens, that is. - con_carne Sep 15, 13:08
- I find it odd that the cruise leaves two days before Christmas....and isn't at port anywhere for Christmas. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:07 25
  - party on board! -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:10
  - i assure you it wouldn't. i paid more for my resort the week of christmas than i would have the week before. they'll do a whole christmas dinner, - Andie Sep 15, 13:10 23
    - I don't doubt there are people who want to travel on Christmas - ty97 Sep 15, 13:12 22
      - you are forgetting the entire Jewish population, for starters. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:14 1
        
        No, I'm not. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:17
      - you aren't getting me - christmas vacations are always sold out. people seek them out. - Andie Sep 15, 13:13 19
        
        [deleted] 17
        
        Not at all. Mea culpa for having opinions that differ. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:16 16
        
        i'm just saying, the cruises/resorts charge more because of the demand. there are only so many destinations and LOTS of people choose that week to go - Andie Sep 15, 13:19 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        To be fair, you live in NYC, which is famous for never closing, and having a high Jewish population right? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:27
        
        people want to BE somewhere i guess. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        nothing is open. gas stations, restaurants, etc. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:22
        
        [deleted]
        
        this isn't opinion, it's factual that people like to travel on christmas. -- nm - loosilu Sep 15, 13:17 8
        
        Oh good, it's fact? SOURCE IT. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:18 7
        
        i just did a quick google - here's the very first thing that came up - "christmas vacations selling out fast" - Andie Sep 15, 13:21 5
        
        err, with the link -- (link) - Andie Sep 15, 13:22 4
        
        they refer to Dec 3 to Jan 4 as 'peak travel times' -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:23 3
        
        err Dec 19 to Jan 3. (okay, i've posted way too much in a row now) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:24 2
        
        certainly, those are peak travel times. The question is: how much fo that is holiday/resort travel versus travel to be with family. - ty97 Sep 15, 13:27 1
        
        this isn't worth arguing, if you ever decide to go away for christmas, you'll learn it firsthand. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:28
        
        here -- (link) - loosilu Sep 15, 13:19 [Backboard]
        
        (and, if people want to go after christmas, it's not like they don't have options.) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 13:14

Brian Wilson's "Smile" is... interesting. I think it's really good. I think. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:05 9

- I love it. I like That Lucky Old Sun, too. -- nm - Callisto Sep 15, 13:09 2
  - It's been on my iPod... forever. I'm just getting to it now. nmbCallisto - TFox Sep 15, 13:11 1

  - I'm going to let that one go, because you're baiting me. :) -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:05 3
    - I think overall it's a fantastic work, it would've been ground-breaking in its day as originally conceived. -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 13:07
    - He's a master at that. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 13:06 1
      - I know. Quite a jerk, really. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:06
