- water isn't one of those things people are used to thinking of as a frill. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 15:33 3
  - on an ultra-fare-airline like Spirit, everything is a frill. - ty97 Feb 15, 15:37 2
    - Didn't say he wouldn't pay for water. Just said that it was against the airline's policy to serve water while still on the ground... even after 2 hour -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 15, 15:56 1
      - shouldn't it be against corporate policy to sit on the ground for two hours? and shouldn't the water thing be lifted after an hour? -- nm - zork Feb 15, 16:00

The CNN article about the Kevin Smith thing is confusing to me - ty97 Feb 15, 15:12 6
- CNN is, in very typical CNN fashion, trying to weave a coherent argument out of a series of Kevin Smith Twitter posts. - TFox Feb 15, 15:14 5

So I pre-ordered a CD from amazon.uk this weekend. - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 15:06 8
- the whole concept of import CDs in a digital world just seems completely backwards. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 15:11 4

  - i remember them always being insanely expensive, but can't figure out why they'd exist except as collector's items anymore. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 15:12 2
    - Oh, is that what I am? A "collector"? - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 15:29
    - different record labels handle artists in different countries. resulting in different albums in those countries -- nm - poochinski Feb 15, 15:23

  - My luck I'll be stuck with 10 CDs. -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 15:09 1
    - *nodding* (that wouldn't take luck, that would just be "the shit that was bound to happen".) -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 15:09

Ksmith looks like a fruit of the loom plum, there I said it, buy 2 tickets fat ass -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 15, 14:35 4
- Like Mop said, he did, got stand by, got on the plane and was asked to leave even though there were other over weight people still on the plane. - sycor Feb 15, 14:48
- I find myself thinking he should just shut the eff up and coming down on the side of the airline. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 15, 14:40 1
  - I got kicked off a roller coaster once when they couldn't push the harness down far enough to lock, and I didn't go blog about it. - TFox Feb 15, 14:41

  - "jogging sleds" -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 14:35
- I know many people who have them and love them. Why don't you get the stroller for you? - loosilu Feb 15, 14:34 7
  - Well, one of us has to hold the dog leashes, and one gets the stroller. Mrs.V can certainly have her pick. - Dr.Vermin Feb 15, 14:36 6
    - You're missing the obvious solution. Dogs pull the stroller. - loosilu Feb 15, 14:38
    - Can't you just harness the dogs to the stroller? It's Alaska, after all. -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 15, 14:38 1
      - This is a pretty obvious solution. I will ponder. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 15, 14:45
    - maybe i'm a moron, but... why do the dogs have to come? -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 14:36 2
      - I suppose they don't *have* to... but that's why I don't just stay at work and run on the treadmill. - Dr.Vermin Feb 15, 14:42 1
        
        It could be fun sometimes, but bringing out the ENTIRE family to run coould be tricky on a regular basis. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 14:46
- they kinda suck for dogs. -- nm - TFox Feb 15, 14:32
