  1. One of the best decisions I ever made was going to Florida instead of UVA. (I was from the DC area.) Expansive, idyllic campus set in a small city that is defined by the university. Gainesville is pretty much the definition of a “college town.” The school itself was much more rigorous academically than I expected. (I found out I was nowhere near as smart as I thought.) And you can get lost in the crowd if you want to. That said I became pretty tight with a few Profs. Other than the setting I have always thought of Florida as very similar to UT. Plenty of everything to choose from and a 4-year experience that has helped define me. 2 fun Gator facts: Florida was an all-boys school until 1948. As opposed to FSU which was all-girls. And there are more Jewish students at UF than any school out side of Israel.
  2. Was somebody badmouthing Banshee? Lili Simmons got naked and had sex near about every week. I’m not much for white women but that’s enough for me.
  3. Where did you stay in SIN? I’m going NRT-SIN this afternoon. Hardcore Fairmont guy here.
  4. Seems like I’m about the only one (including the critics) than loved Button a bunch more than Zodiac.
  5. LAX is a palace compared to that dump in England.
  6. Another vote for Heathrow as the worst MAJOR International airport.
  7. David Fincher has directed 12 feature films, in order: Alien 3 Se7en The Game Fight Club Panic Room Zodiac The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Social Network The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Gone Girl Mank The Killer (Just Released)
  8. EVA>>>>>United Been on that SFO-TPE flight twice this year and it blows away United. Great food, service and yes smoking hot, young, sweet FA’s. My Asian Airline preferences in order: 1-Singapore (Only if you love size zero flight attendants that all look like matching Chinese dolls.) 2-EVA-See above 3-ANA-They seem to only hire hot, young, friendly Japanese girls for cabin crew 4-Korean-Good food, hot, thin FA’s 5-Japan-Great service 6-China Air 7-Cathay-Everything seems off. (I only rated the airlines I can remember taking since Covid.)
  9. My advice has been consistent. If you are a frequent flyer, pick one major airline and stay committed. It will pay off in miles and status (yes, it makes a difference.) Been AA since moving to DFW in the 90’s and I’ve been moving up their food chain ever since. CK for the last 5 years and while not nearly as good as flying private, it’s as close as the bus lines can get. Even my backup airlines are associated with AA. (Taking Qatar later today to Singapore and will get points and miles as if I was flying American.) My advice has been consistent.

  10. Serious question. I’ve got a shot at buying one of these 2 at a “reasonable” price. I’m not buying both, but I want one PP for my collection. Any thoughts?
  11. The long lines have more to do with eating at places that don’t take reservations. Just too many great eats to limit yourself to the fancy joints. (That and I’m on per diem vice expense report.) 2 places that I do highly recommend in Osaka (and no rez needed,) Critters Burger in Shinsaibashi. (Get the Wagu Burger.) And Dublin Bay Irish Pub in Namba. Looks, feels and smells like a pub in the old country with not a lick of English to be had. But a great Irish/Japanese Whiskey selection at Lubbock prices. 1000 yen for any shot (7 bucks). That includes winners like Yamazaki 12 or Red Breast 12. Happy hour (5-8 I think) it’s 900 a shot. Nice and friendly owners and customers.
  12. Just left Osaka this morning. You guys with the reservations, just look for the long line outside…..
  13. Same, same. There a couple days ago and saw debris fencing in place near the rec club/Fairmont. More than 2 months out and they are getting things done! Love that city/state!
  14. I’ve been waiting for an LPGA thread so thank you. And thank you ladies golf for all the hot Asians!
