  1. Someone i know recommended Bent fork or spoon? Is that any good?

     

    Wicked Spoon is not good. It is exquisite!

     

    This upscale buffet offers great variety and will satisfy the most discerning of palates. Breakfast is served till 2pm.

     

    The only downside is the waiting time in order to get seated. Tip: avoid rush hours or if you stay at the Cosmopolitan, your Marriott Rewards loyalty card will give you priority seating.

  2. What brand are you using, Chris?

     

    I came across the same thing on a couple of occasions (the lube turns cloudy). I believe it was with Wet Original and once with something called Elbow Grease. My guess is that the lube turned off because of the ambient temperature or exposure to sun light, but don't quote me on that. I threw the bottle away, because there's no way fixing it.

  3. Having observed from the ground one of these giants land at LAX last week ... it's far from being pretty or gracious.

     

    I've already been twice this month on that giant and I'm in owe of the pilot/captain who lifts that whale in the air.

  4. Here's one to cheer you up, Jack :)

     

     

     

     

    A PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO TORONTO, WHEN A BLONDE IN

     

    ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP, AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS

     

    SECTION AND SITS DOWN.

     

     

     

    THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS, AND ASKS

     

    TO SEE HER TICKET.

     

     

     

    SHE THEN TELLS THE BLONDE THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY

     

    CLASS, AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK.

     

     

     

    THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M

     

    GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."

     

     

    THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS

     

    THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLONDE

     

    BIMBO SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN

     

    ECONOMY, AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.

     

     

     

    THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND TRIES TO

     

    EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY

     

    SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT.

     

     

     

    THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M

     

    GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE ."

     

     

     

    THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD

     

    HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST

     

    THIS BLONDE WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON.

     

     

     

    THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A BLONDE? I'LL

     

    HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A BLONDE. I SPEAK BLONDE."

     

     

     

    HE GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR,

     

    AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY," AND GETS UP AND GOES

     

    BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.

     

     

     

    THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND

     

    ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT

     

    ANY FUSS.

     

     

     

    "I TOLD HER FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO TORONTO."

  6. I would rather fly in a Boeing plane than an Airbus.

     

    Really, Diver Dan? Are you choosing your flight depending on the carrier rather than the airline?

     

    I don't mind if I fly in a Boeing or an Airbus, as long as I arrive at destination in one piece.

    I think I saw recently a response to a post in Italian and while I didn't understand everything, I've got the general meaning. It was a 411 about escorts in New York and the OP was Italian. I think that was cool.

  8. I learned something new today. There might be different causes for premature obituaries. I dig it for you from Wikipedia:

     

     

    Accidental publication: accidental release of a pre-written obituary, usually on a news web site, as a result of technical or human error. The most egregious example was when, in 2003, CNN accidentally released draft obituaries for seven major world figures.

     

    Brush with death: when the subject unexpectedly survives a serious illness or accident which made them appear to be dead or certain to die.

     

    Hoax: when a death is falsely reported, as a prank.

     

    Impostor: when an ordinary person who for years has passed himself off to family and friends as a retired minor celebrity dies, it can prompt an erroneous obituary for the real (but still-living) celebrity.

     

    Land theft victims: many people from Uttar Pradesh, India have been registered dead by officials who are bribed by relatives who want to steal the victim's land. The ensuing legal disputes often continue for many years, with victims growing elderly and sometimes dying in reality before they are resolved. See: Association of Dead People.

    Misidentified body: when a corpse (often from a road crash) is misidentified as someone else who was involved in the same incident or who happened to go missing at the same time.

     

    Missing in action: soldiers who go missing in war are sometimes incorrectly declared dead if no body is found. In particular, a number of Japanese soldiers thought to have died in World War II in fact survived – typically hiding in remote jungle for years or even decades, believing that the war had not ended.

     

    Misunderstandings: such as when a Sky News employee thought that an internal rehearsal for the future death of the Queen Mother was real.

     

    Name confusion: where someone with an identical or similar name has died. Usually the subject of the obituary is famous; the deceased person is not.

     

    Pseudocide: when the subject fakes his own death in order to evade legal, financial, or marital difficulties and start a new life.

  9. (I'm also surprised to learn that he's dead!)

     

    FOS, are you referring to the following?

     

    Film and television actor Jack Noseworthy, 35, has died at home with his family from an unspecified form of cancer. Noseworthy, most famous for his starring role in the short-lived MTV series "Dead At 21," has been a Modesto resident since 2003. In addition to his television credits, Noseworthy also had roles in films such as "Idle Hands," "U-571," and "The Brady Bunch Movie." He is survived by his wife Kimberly and their two children. Funeral arrangements have not yet been released.

    "Progressive Boink" is a humor network and apparently someone was playing a bad joke.

     

    According to Wikipedia he played in "Surrogates" with Bruce Willis in 2009. Unless he resuscitated after the alleged "death" in 2007 ...

  10. At the gas station around the corner from my place in Brussels

     

    1,548 Euros/litre for Eurosuper 98

    1 gallon = 3.785 litre

     

    Convert EUR/USD http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/

     

    1.548 Euros = 2.049 US Dollar

     

    3.785 litre @ $2.049 = 7.76

     

    So after conversion I paid $7.76 a gallon (which is just a few cents higher than what I payed back in 2006)

  11. They often show him shirtless and he has an awesome body with great tattoos. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any shirtless pics of him online.

     

    Here you go, Greathands. You can see his tats in these videos
